I've finally made the plunge!

So it must've been asked tonnes of times before, but how do I go about migrating my collection from Windows to Mac?

You're not the first one:

viewtopic.php?f=360&t=35319&p=204078&hilit=platforms#p204078

Seems as if there is no possibility at the moment

:eek: kinda remember a topic giving info on getting collections trans from win to mac ,, long time back ,,
as to the topic in blackbrooks link ,, i think the whole conseption was to have a software that worked in both o s ,,,the full fullfiliment of that would be to have it compatible like the suggestion in that topic :idea:
but me thinks this is unattainable due to the competive nature between Apple and win ,,to get the lions share and keep the patronage by locking users into the o s due to it in compatibility ,, :?:

history sussposed to teach ,, i remember the new techonology of vcr tapes ,,and the two different formats ,, and how one became extinct and techonology did away with both ,,
so when you fianaly get something on the same page ,,there will be something new to start the confusing process all over again :eek: :cool:

Might it be the backup/restore collection feature could be able to Cross the OS differences...
