So my parents have finally decided to upgrade their ancient computer running OSX 10.4 to a brand new iMac, and being the dutiful son I agreed to set everything up for them. Now, I know you can't perform a system transfer straight from 10.4 to Mavericks, however I know you can transfer from 10.4 to 10.6, then from 10.6 to Mavericks. I have a laptop I use that runs 10.6.8, and since my parents don't have a lot of RAM used up on their computer I could fit it in the remaining space on my hard drive. I was wondering if I could partition my hard drive, do a system transfer to just the newly created partition, do another system transfer from that partition to my parents' new computer, and then delete/remove the partition on my laptop? I wasn't able to find any information on the internet about whether you could perform a system transfer to just a partition on a larger hard drive, but hopefully someone here might know.

Are you just trying to transfer their home directories / applications over to the new system? In that case you don't need to do any partition fuckery; just run Migration Assistant on the 10.6 laptop to copy their stuff onto it and then do it again on the new iMac. Then you can just delete their home directories on the laptop.

Oh, okay. That would probably be the easiest to do then. I've never actually done the system transfer before, so I'm not really familiar with the details. Thanks!

Is anyone else with OSX 10.10.5 and iTunes 12.3.1.23 (the latest versions) having problems playing back purchased movies on iTunes? Whenever I try to play one, it just gives me a black screen with no audio. I saw some other people on the internet having this same problem, but I wanted to see if this was widespread.

What's the best driver for an XBox 360 Wired Controller? I found a few searching Google and other sites but I'm not sure if one is better/more reputable than others. I'm running High Sierra if that makes a difference.
