Hi LLAAnder,
You can share your iMac's optical drive by following this article:

How can I transfer Microsoft package from iMac to Macbook air
I hope this is answered ASAP
The easiest way is to use the original install disks, always assuming that your version of whatever application/s you refer to are compatible with Lion.

How can I transfer/import iPhotos from iMac to MacBook Pro?
How can I transfer some photos from iPhoto on iMac Desktop to iPhoto on MacBook Pro?
We're talking some photos? You can export them from iPhoto to a USB flash drive form the iMac and import them into iPhoto on the MBP. That's one way.

How to transfer iTunes library from iMac to macbook pro?
i recently got a macbook pro but all of my music is on my imac. how do i transfer the music?
Click on the Music item in the Finder's sidebar. You'll see an iTunes folder inside. Move this to the same location on the other computer via a network, an external drive, or FireWire Target Disk mode as desired.

Today I ordered my new MacBook Air - and am looking for advice on how I might best transfer all the information off my old MacBook Air to the new one. There are not many ports available on the old MacBook Air (2008/9) and of course the new MacBook Air comes with more ports and connectivity.
Appreciate any advice that you can give me.
Many thanks in advance
EdUse an external drive with Time Machine or Clone your HD to the external.
When you start the new one, setup manager will ask if you want to migrate from another disk, time machine etc.
This will only require 1 usb port. -
How to transfer with thunderbolt from iMac to MacBook Air?
I have a new MacBook Air and I'm trying to migrate files from my iMac over a Thundertbolt connection. It doesn't work. Anyone else have this problem?
You have not told us which versions of OS X either machine is running.
Assuming both are running Mavericks (as they should be), this describes how to migrate using Thunderbolt:

I add: I had to re-install the original DVD (OS X 10.5.8), then upgrades, then snow (OS 10.6.8), then Lion (10.7). Now, I just need the explanation for how to put back my data onto the MacBook Air. Preferrably by ethernet. I did it once by wireless, 30 hours (and caused total blue screen, and total start over). Thanks!

All your data will be transferred if you use Setup Assistant, which starts automatically the first time you boot the new machine. You may need to contact Microsoft to reactivate the product.

How do i transfer iTunes money from one account to another
how do i transfer iTunes money from one account to another? also forgot security question answers
You can't, an account's balance cannot be transferred to another account, nor can it be used to gift content to another account - it can only be used to buy content for the account that it's on.
For your security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then you can use that to reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset, and if you don't already have a rescue email address, you can then add one for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -
How do you transfer the content from an iPhone to a PC? I have to use a PC for a while and don't know how to put my stuff on to there from my phone
If you're talking about music and movies an i-device was not designed for unique storage of media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing music and movies is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred from a device to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 -

How do i transfer my content from my android phone to my new iphone 5
How do i transfer my content from my android phone to my new iphone 5 thanks
sync the old android phone content to google like contacts. Then sync the new iPhone 5 to google using the carddav protocol. Google has some great tutorials for seting up the accounts.
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2753077
Additional way is if its already on the google.com cloud service. Search iPhone App Store for "MobileTrans contacts".
Or go on iCloud.com then sign up and click on the cogwheel for options. I believe it has import contacts. -
