portable hard drives pc world image
Q. I am about to get my first Mac and am wondering if I can still play my copy of world of Warcraft from my windows pc without installing it again on my Mac. Can I just copy it to a portable hard drive from my pc and transfer it to my Mac with it running as normal?
Answer
You actually can't do that because Windows is a whole different computing system from Mac. There isn't any program that can translate the codes from windows the Mac so your only choice is to reinstall. For me I only had to install the most recent disk (Cataclysm) and then it gave me a bit of data from the other games so just reinstall it.

What is the best way to back up all of my music on my computer?

I have 20 GB of tunes on my computer. Should I get a portable hard drive? Amazon Cloud? Basically, I'm scared my old computer is going to crash and completely wipe out my music collection.
Answer
20gb isn't a great deal so a big honking external drive could be considered overkill. If you don't see your collection growing beyond 32gb in the near future, I'd simply buy a cheap USB memory stick. 32gb sticks are pretty cheap now. These are so much easier to handle, a tiny little stick that you can carry in your pocket and leave plugged into a PC/laptop when needed.

For greater future proofing, consider a 64gb flash drive.

Now you'll be able to automate the backup so you don't have to think about it.
For even more security, you could consider backing up online on a less regular basis as it is a bit of a hassle to do all the time. I wouldn't pay for any service with the kind of backup size you want. Windows own cloud storage service is free and offers 25gb. Combine that with some other free services and you're set to go.
