Ok, so i've got my iMac now. I've managed to transfer all my data from my MacBook Pro over to it, via an Ethernet cable.
I'm stuck now though. I have an old Windows (running Windows Vista) laptop that I want to drag about 7500 songs off, as I want to have my full library of music again. (Didn't bother putting them on the MBP, as I didn't want to take up too much memory on it).
Now, the quickest way, again, seems to be via an Ethernet cable... This is where my problem occurs.
My iMac recognises that I have the laptop plugged in, but it just will not let me connect to it. I get stuck at the point where I enter a Username/password. I've tried it many times, but it just wont let me connect, even with the right username/password combination.
I've enabled sharing on the laptop. I even created a new account on there, just to make sure that I was getting everything right, but to no avail.
I've tried various methods off the internet and even had Sym0n trying to help me via iMessage, but i've gotten nowhere.
Anyone got any ideas?
For reference, it is about 33GB of data that i'm trying to move across, so it'll take forever to do it on my 256MB memory stick and will take up too many DVD's.
Thanks.
