一開始的時候, 用了os x提供的migration assistant. 雖說很方便, 但因為我不知道怎麼只選擇部份的東西拷到新電腦上, 因而powerbook上許多舊的, 過時的設定, 也都跟著傳了過去. 在網上找了這篇, 裡面提供了許多有用的技巧, 值得參考.
我在舊電腦上跑的是os x 10.4, 而新電腦上的是10.5.
建議是
(1) 先將新的電腦設好(也就是略過migration assistant): network, trackpad, timezone, expose/spaces, etc. Note that in both laptops I use the same username.
(2) 然後是software update
(3) 為電腦取名: system preferences -> sharing; 在同個視窗內選擇 file sharing
(4) 下載及安裝thunderbird, skype 等需要的軟體
(5) 在舊電腦上, 將file sharing打開, 用網路線連接兩台電腦 (note: there's no firewire port in 13" macbook!)
我要migrate的軟體包括safari, thunderbird, skype, ical, itunes, x11. 以下簡單說明:
safari - 我要的只是書籤. 只要將~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist copy到新電腦上的同個資料夾即可
thunderbird - follow the instructions on this page; basically (quoted from that page):

thunderbird - follow the instructions on this page; basically (quoted from that page):
- Locate your Default Thunderbird Profile folder named "XXXXXX.default" where the X's are a random mix of numbers and letters. On a Mac running OS X it's located in your Home folder (or if you have multiple users on your Mac, your user account's folder) > Library > Thunderbird > Profiles.
- Copy all the files in the Default folder to the new computer over the network.
- Start up the "new" Mac running Mac OS X and download, install & launch Thunderbird. By launching Thunderbird, the program will create a new Default Profile in Home > Library > Thunderbird > Profiles.
- Shut down Thunderbird.
- Move the contents of the Default folder from the "old" Mac to the "new" Mac's Default Profile for Thunderbird. Again, the Default Profile folder is located in Home > Library > Thunderbird > Profiles and is named "XXXXXXX.default" where the X's stand for random characters.
skype - 使用者資料存在~/Library/Application Support/Skype. 將資料夾裡面的user的folders copy到新電腦上的同個folder
ical - 在舊電腦中將calendar export為 .ics檔 傳到新電腦上 再import
itunes - 把原先的itunes library (~/Music/iTunes/) copy過來
x11 - 把 .XDefaults, .cshrc, .vimrc, etc 拷到新電腦上
最後, 一些零碎的設定:
skype - 避免他在每次login時自動啓動, 到system preferences -> account中的login items, 刪掉skype
x11 - in x11's preference, select "emulate 3 button mouse"
finder - open a finder window, set it the way you want, then click "use as default", then all finder windows will appear the way you like
