How do you transfer pictures from old mac?

I opened my new mac book and ran through the file transfer steps, bnut no Photos or Music transferred? Any ideas?????

Copy the iPhoto Library Folder from the Pictures folder of the old machine to the same location on the new machine. Ditto for the iTunes folder to the Music Folder.
Then: Download BatchMod from

And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

(Credit to Old Toad for this one).
This will take care of any file permission issues.

How do you transfer pictures from old iphoto library to a new one?

So my iphoto wasn't working, did the whole delete the plist and make a new library pressing "alt". But now i want to know how i can transfer all my photos into the new library, or some how fix the old library (because i really don't wanna move everything into a new library).
please someone help me,

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Are these pictures on your iPod no longer stored on your PC or in a backup somewhere? If so, you'll need the help of third party software to assist you with the task of extracting the photos from your iPod to your PC. Keep in mind that these synced photos are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of the original.
If you stored these photos in full resolution, see this article for instructions on copying them from your iPod back to your PC.

Caesar1948-
I'm not using iCloud, so do not know for sure. I feel as if I have more control by using iTunes on my computer, to determine what is on my iPad, and what gets deleted.
If your wife will share the same Apple ID with you, you do not need to remove everything from the old iPad. She can share your purchased Apps, music, et cetera.
In iTunes, you can have several iOS devices sharing Apps under a common Apple ID, but you can also "uncheck" specific Apps you do not want on one of your devices. Each device has an identity so iTunes should remember which App goes on which device during future syncs.
If your wife will have her own individual Apple ID, you need to go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. This will return the iPad to factory defaults, except it will retain the latest iOS version installed.

How do i transfer files from old mac with frozen screen?

My PowerBook G4 just froze. I bought a new MacBook Pro. How do I transfer files from my old mac to my new one. I have firewire cable with firewire adapter for the new Mac. And the old mac has a disk that won't eject.

Turn your PowerBook off. Connect both computers with the firewire cable and then start your PB in Target Disk Mode (press the T and the power button at the same time, and keep the T pressed until your PB's hard drive mounts on the MBP's desktop. Then, you can use Migration Assistant, or good ol' drag and drop, your call.
If your PowerBook cannot enter Target Disk Mode, then you have bigger problems...;-)
