When I got my iMac, I used my iPhone and senuti to import. Don't know if there is a better way but it was quick and easy for me.  :happy2:

Oi!!!  Neo! You're not welcome here! Go and piss your excellence in some other corner of the room  :wink:

@ ifti: As Andrew says: Just re-import the songs. The system works on aliases and it's not a good idea to delve into the depths of iTunes and move files around unless you know exactly what you are doing.

After you've installed Photoshop you might want to recalibrate your monitor/screen. P'shop includes an easy to follow step by step guide.

Ah thanks RR. I didn't know it did that.

Do you use Time Machine? I may partition up one if my external HDDs. One FAT32 partition so I can backup my PS3, and one HFS partition for Time Machine to use.

Would love a Time Capsule though........

Ah, too much expense!

Yes, Time Machine is very easy as you can set it to run in the background and forget about it. I think Windows has something similar.

However, if you use something very CPU heavy (as I do when recording/editing music in Logic) then it's best to quit all other applications. Logic Pro backs up your music stuff into History anyway.

My all-singing-dancing dual PowerMac G5 desktop system has failed at the moment and everything is in Time Machine on external hard drives ready for my next Mac - A fully loaded 27" iMac when I have the funds which keep getting spent on the car!

I use Time Machine with my Synology NAS drive, it works a treat.  I think a few NAS units have support for Time Machine.

It is fairly big but it isn't overly big. Just right  :love: They do a 21" too.  :happy2:

My dad's got a 27" machine at work and it looks sweet as anything, but sometimes you can get lost in the screen space. I found this with the Mac 30" monitors as well (which is why I prefer my 22"s).
My mum got a 21.5" unit to replace her dead iMac 4 and I think it's a lovely size. Screen is not too big but still gots lots of space to do stuff (email and Intertrons in her case).


She's got an iPad as well; the two complement each other very well.

@RR, why not get a Mac Pro and a couple of monitors instead of an iMac? the Mac Pro line are the only machines from Apple I genuinely desire (simply because of their nice build quality, upgradability, and ludicrous specs; I'll throw the OS out :P ) and at least with a Mac Pro a future upgrade path is available.
Plus multimonitor goodness.

/see, not always a zealot - I can be reasonable :P
