iMac Sold a 12-inch 1 GHz PowerBook on eBay. With the proceeds, purchased a new iMac G5, with a 17-inch screen, superdrive, wireless keyboard and mouse. Had planned on getting a Mac Mini. Just love its small footprint. However, with the desired upgrades it just made more sense to get the iMac. So far I am not disappointed with this decision.

Initial setup was a breeze. The mistake was using Apples system utility to migrate data from the PowerBook to the iMac. It successfully migrated everything. Unfortunately it configured the iMac to run like the PowerBook. All my efforts failed to correct the situation. Ended up rebuilding the system to return it back to its original condition. Following the reinstall, the system could not find bluetooth. Ended up contacting Apple via web chat. It was a great experience … they quickly provided the solution. That is “remove all USB connections, disconnect the power cord for one full minute, replace the power cord and start the system back up” the resultant startup recognized bluetooth and reconnected the keyboard and mouse. Like magic everything was working great.

Lesson learned … do not use the migration tool between a PowerBook and iMac.
