The LaCie shortcut button shows up in your System Preferences because you must have installed the LaCie software, it doesn't matter if it sees the drive or not.

To be honest, I think your best bet is to turn on the "migration assistant" utility on your new computer, and it will automatically transfer many items (including your iTunes library) from the old computer to the new automatically.

The problem is, i'm not sure how you are going to be able to hook the two computers to each other if the G4 doesn't have firewire. Maybe via ethernet or even the AirPort connection.

If you try to use the USB(1) on the G4, it will take like, A FEW DAYS if your music library is very big.


Here's another suggestion, turn on both computers and turn on the iChat utility, and get both computers to see each other via the BONJOUR window. It's not via the internet, just from one AirPort to another. Then, you can shoot files through the air from one computer to the other, and it's quite fast. Faster than FireWire, even!!!!
