Please help: Firewire 800 transfer!!??!

[brobson]

I need to load my Word onto my new mac mini but have run out of install codes. I used the 3 they have so I thought I would transfer it via firewire. I promise they are all mine!

I cant even plug it in! It is huge. The slot that looks like a radioactive warning is too small on my g5 imac and on the mac mini.

What am I doing wrong? I also notice I don't have a migration assistant so I am not sure how to do this. Can anyone help me???

You should be able to use a FireWire 400 cable in between the two machines. FireWire 800 is only supported on the professional level machines.

Thanks, I am getting soooo tired of returning things to the mac store!
