I just picked up a new iMac when they were released on Wednesday. I have an iMac I got last year that I want to migrate some of the files from it over to the new one.
I know they have a Migration tool that allows you to connect between the two machines via Firewire or over your ethernet connection but I am not sure if you can be selective in what you migrate over.
Currently on my old machine I have Snow Leopard and Parallels with Windows XP. I want to just import the Mac files like my address book, emails that have in my inbox in Mail, photos, etc. but not Parallels or XP. I also have a back up that I made to an external drive with Super Duper of my old iMac.
So the question is what is the best way to migrate over specific files from one iMac to another where I am not overriding the program on the new machine, just adding programs that I have on the old one to the new one and importing the data to support the same programs from one to the other and at the same time exclude Parallels and XP?
