How to Update your OS & Apps Properly and Save your System

Thanks again for the reply.

Does the migration assistant work when pulling apps from a Tiger install to a FRESH Leopard install? I'll be upgrading to that OS which is why I'm going thru all this at the moment.

If I can put my old drive into a firewire enclosure, then install a brand new drive and put leopard on it, then use the migration assistant to pull apps onto the new install, I'll go that route. If that isn't possible, I'll just have to reinstall all the apps one by one :S.

thanks

Yes, the M.A. should work just fine although some apps as mentioned before may ask for your install code again and some preferences may not transfer over completely.
