Everything that Tod said, is correct, IF...
If you are purchasing a refub directly from Apple, only.
Purchasing from a reseller, can be a good deal, but you will not get a 1 year warranty or the ability to purchase AppleCare. If you purchase from an Authorized Apple Reseller who relays you to the Apple Store, then it is the same as buying from Apple. If you buy a refurb from a reseller like PowerMax, you are not buying from Apple. Don't get me wrong, I have bought refurbs from PowerMax, and it was a good machine and deal.
I'm just saying that not all refurbs are alike,.

That said, you need to be careful about precisely what machine you are getting as refurbs may or may not be current models and it can sometimes be difficult to compare specs in the refurb store and compare to the current machines. Whether a refurb is a "good deal" is entirely subjective based on your particular needs so the specs are important. Machines that look identical to new machines may not be. Examine the description carefully. The application "Apptracker" can help pin down the details and includes benchmarks to compare models.
The refurb store also changes constantly and sometimes very fast. If you see something that looks perfect, move quickly. The best "deals" disappear quickly. If you don't see what you want today, it could appear tomorrow.

Oh, totally! I should have said that! I recommend purchasing from the Apple Refurb Store. I do NOT recommend purchasing Apple "factory" Refurbs from anyone other than Apple. These are generally bad deals. In my experience, the better deal on the same machine will come from Apple.
I am not warning against the highly respected dealers of "used" machines. There is nothing wrong with used machines which may be "refurbished." Refurb is a tricky term. Refurbished generally means a used item that has been restored to warrantable condition. The distinction "factory" refurbished usually means a machine that has been restored to near "new" condition by the original manufacturer and shows little sign of wear. Even then, it is only as good as the reputation of the manufacturer. I have found Apple refurbs meet the highest standards, consistently appearing "as good as new." More importantly, Apple is the only company I've encountered that warrants their "refurbished" products identically to new items and delivers them with all the same accessories.
While I'm hesitant to believe refurbs are any MORE reliable than new product, there is one possible advantage. Refurbished machines sometimes appear in configurations that are an improvement from their original "new" condition, such as having larger or faster drives, or a better graphics card, but without the cost premium that would have been when new. This is where the "better deal" can be found. And sometimes refurbs are a way of getting something that is no longer available new, like a machine with an older version of the OS or ports that are not on newer machines.

That's not much information, but here's an article.

Basically, be sure you have a firewire cable or an ethernet cable to connect the two computers. Have the older computer off but connected by the cable to the new computer when you start up the new computer for the first time. Then just follow the screen instructions.

Doug, could you explain point one.
Restart with Option allows you to select to boot into Mac or Windows. Are you saying that ReFit would allow you to select which of the Windows partitions within BootCamp?

4) If you are going to run a mixture of Windows versions such as XP and
Win 7 some form of boot management such as EasyBCD could be useful.
5) My own preference for backup, restore and cloning various versions of

I have been using Bootcamp on my old MacPro for several years, and it is
the best PC I have ever had.

Dan, tried your method of creating the burn folder through the finder menu.
It worked. Appreciate your experiment. If burning through an Apple window menu or through the Disk Utility menu does not work any longer, why would they include them in the window menu's? But thanks for your experiment. John R

Glad it worked.
I think it would work also in Disk Utility but with more steps.
I don't know what you mean by "burning through an Apple window menu."

Update.
This morning, my iPhone did not show up in iTunes as it normally does, probably because I was negative in this thread. ;) I tried every trick I know short of restarting my laptop. Nothing. So I read the help file again. It's ever so slightly better now and I was reminded that you can initiate a sync from the phone. Never worked for me before, but what the heck.
Surprise! It worked. My device appeared in iTunes and promptly synced. So add that to your arsenal. On the phone: Settings, General, iTunes Syncing, Sync Now.
Truth in advertising. I don't find the function completely useless. I use it. It's just too fussy for most people in most situations so I don't recommend it unless you're prepared for that. It is not one of Apple's finer moments.
Cheers,
tod

Apparently, "Find my iPad" erase command has failed to work on my stolen iPad, despite the bad guys turning it on, accessing my Dropbox account, and being able to send an Email message.
Tuesday the 22nd the iPad was stolen. Within a couple of hours of discovering it Tuesday afternoon, I went into iCloud, marked the iPad as "lost" and inserted a phone number. Find my iPad showed the device as "offline." The next morning, Wednesday the 23rd, in iCloud the iPad was still shown as "offline." I gave the command to Wipe (Erase) the iPad. Then, three days later on Saturday, the 26th, someone "shared" a file with credit card info from my Dropbox account via Email from the iPad. I received a copy of that Email on that Saturday morning, and almost immediately notified my Bank on the credit card and it was cancelled. The Email's headers show that it was sent from the iPad.
This morning (the 29th) I went back into iCloud, and it shows that the iPad is "offline" AND that the erase command is "Pending." This can only mean that the iPad is still useable. And, it also means that the "Erase" command did not work despite the Dropbox account being accessed and Email being used.
Perhaps some of you have an idea why the Find my iPad "erase" command failed to work. Is there some sort of lengthy time-lag in Find my iPad that permits connection to the internet for a time? Perhaps there's a way to prevent the Find my iPad on the iPad from being accessed. Is there some way for the bad guys to block Find my iPad so that it won't work, for example, by blocking all incoming traffic at the router to which the machine is accessing the internet? I'm not very good at these sorts of things, and certainly no hacker, but it seems that if it's this easy to defeat Find my iPad, then it's basically worthless.
Thanks for all the help and comments.
BTW, my new iPad 4 is on its way. And, the first thing I'll do is set the passcode.

Dave, why did you not change the Dropbox password, and why was your credit card information in readable form and not encrypted?
There is also a Lost Mode that will lock the iPad remotely, but I do not know if it will work any better than the Erase will. I would call Apple and ask them how it should work. Especially, before you set up your replacement. You may have to change your AppleID if they have had access to it, also. Remember, that changing your AppleID will cause you grief with your prior purchases.
And get an encrypted password safe app to store your passwords and credit card info. Think about contacting the rest of your credit card accounts, etcetera.
As you have found what is easy and convenient for you, is also easy and convenient for the thief.
