Hi CowBell Bill,
When going from a PPC (G4 or G5) computer to an Intel (Mac Pro)
It is best that you sit down, relax, and realize it will take more time than you thought.
The reason for this is that the motherboards are entirely different, and a consequence of this is that all your audio plug ins need to be installed as Universal Binary versions of the ones you had in the G4 or G5 computer.
This means you cannot just copy them over.
I did this transition a while back, and planning made it less hassle.
Do a list of what you want to bring over to your new Intel based computer, and download all of it onto a DVD (or DVDs). Once you do this, you'll be ready to move over to the new mac.
Start by moving over your home folder, if you will need this, preferably by hand, instead of the automatic method that mac offers. Usuall ythis can be done for equivalent motherboards, but not in your case.
Move all your important data, BUT NOT YOUR LIBRARY. This is where it is different.
Here is where it is better to install your audio software, and other stuff manually, with the new Intel compatible versions.
Cheers

I have a brand new mac book pro, I want to plug my iPhone into it & transfer everything from it onto the mac book, pics,music etc. I'm worried if I plug my phone into the Computer I will loose everything. How can I make sure this doesn't happen?
When you plug your iPhone to Mac,click the Summary button and select “Manually manage music and videos".Then iTunes would never delete your original music.
The most easy way to solve your problems is to move your music to your new Mac.Please refer to this article from Apple.com

Dear Friends,
Hi, I bought a refurbished Macbook 4,1 at present it is running Lion 10.7.5( although it is an older machine circa 2008) I would like to transfer everything from my old machine( early intel Macbook Pro) to the newer machine. My older machine runs Mac OS x 10.6.8 and that allows me run some very old software. Should I make a time machine back up?and restore from that or use Carbon Copy Cloner? to transfer everything, the system, applications and data.
Thanks for your help
-WaltHere you go:
Connect the two using a Firewire cable. Boot the newer machine in Target Disk Mode. Boot the older one normally. The disk for the newer machine will appear on the older machines's Desktop.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select newer machine's hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
2. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
3. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
4. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
5. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the newer machine's drive. Source means the internal startup drive. -
Can i transfer everything from one ipad to another so both have exactly the same things
Can i transfer everything from one ipad to another so both have exactly the same things?
Yes. Copy your apps and other iTunes purchases/downloads to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer), then backup up the first iPad and restore that backup onto the second iPad.
Backups and restores : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
Things that aren't included in a backup include the contents of the Music and Videos apps (but they should be on your computer's iTunes) and photos that were synced from a computer. Also you will need to enter your passwords (email, wifi, website) on the second iPad - they won't be restored onto a different device, only back onto the device that the backup came from. -

How can i transfer everything from old iphone4s to new iphone5?
just bought new iphone5, how do i transfer all the apps/contacts/etc from olf iphone4s?
The easiest way is to back up old phone to icloud and then restore new phone from that old phone backup. Any purchased content such as apps and songs from the itunes and apps stores can be downloaded again.
These directions are for an ipad, but the method is the same.

How do I transfer music from my pc to my mac book pro?
There are different ways of transferring the songs, but as you just want to transfer songs, the best way is to use an external drive to transfer them to the Mac.
If you haven't got an external drive, get one. Then, connect it to your PC and copy all your songs to it.
After that, connect it to the Mac. To access to the external drive, open a Finder window and choose the external drive in the sidebar, under "Devices". Finally, you just have to put the songs in the folder you want, for example, Music -

How do I transfer iTunes from my PC to my Mac Laptop?
You can't transfer the application since they are for different operating systems.
You would have to download iTunes for your Mac.
To transfer your songs, videos etc, just copy all the files in your ITunes directory to a portable hard drive, and connect the hard drive to your mac.
In iTunes on your mac, make sure the preference (under advanced) for "keep itunes folder organized" is checked.
Then add the folder from your portable hard drive, and all songs will will transferred to your mac. -
Hi please how can I transfer purchases from the app store on Mac to my iPad . I downloaded keynotes , numbers, pages and others and will want to have them on my I pad thanks.
Apps that are written for the Mac OS cannot be used on iOS devices, such as the iPad. You can purchase the iOS versions of some of these apps in the iTunes App Store.
