I just added a few steps. Feel free to comment below.
The first thing you want to do is backup all files within your Joomla! installation. Create a folder on your local system, and download all files to that folder using your ftp client application. I used FileZilla as my ftp client application to download all of my files to a folder on my desktop I named “howtojoomla”.
Note: For this step, it really helps if you have phpMyAdmin installed on your server. Most hosting companies have phpMyAdmin already installed. If you are unsure, ask your hosting provider.
The second thing you need to do is export your Joomla! database. The best thing to do is to export it into an SQL file, which makes importing it easier in a later step. An SQL file will contain all of the necessary SQL commands for creating your database tables and filling them with your data. Be sure you export the entire database.
1) go to your PHP MyAdmin panel
2) Select the Database which you want to Backup
3) Click the Export Tab
4) Click Select all for tables on Export
5) Choose SQL at export type
6) For Structure, select “Add AUTO_INCREMENT value, and “Enclose table…”
7) For Data, select “Complete inserts”, “Extended inserts” and “Use hexadecimal for binary fields”
Select “Save as File” and no compression. Click Go and save sql file
9) Go to new PHP MYAdmin panel
10) Create a new DB of the same name
11) Click Import Tab
12) Select File and click Go to import the sql file
13) Go back to the new PHP MyAdmin panel, and select Privileges
14) Add user (should be same username and password of your old DB), and host
15) Select Grant all privileges…
16) Next to Global Privileges, click Check All to check all the privileges.
17)
This step is very important. Go to the folder on your local system to which you downloaded all of your Joomla! files. In the first level folder, you will find the file named “configuration.php”. Open this file with a text editor and make the necessary changes. Your variables may be different, so find the variables that contain these settings and change them. At the very least, you will probably need to change the following parameters:
Using an ftp client application (like FileZilla), upload all of your files to the location on your new server where you want to install Joomla!.
Your move should now be complete, but please don’t take my word for it. Test your site to make sure that everything is in it’s proper place and working the way you expect it to. For example, if you did not use relative url’s for your links on your old site, they will not work properly on your new site.

To “Timeshift” pandora radio, you need Pandora’s Jar. It can be a bit complicated to get started, until now.
Here are the Windows installers to get Pandora’s Jar working.
