Transfering music from an old Mac to a new one.
I know where to copy the music to on my new Mac but how do I get to recognize it? I know there is a key you press upon startup of iTunes.
Use Home Sharing

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?
Here's an easy way:
Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
That should do it.

"Migrating" and/or "transferring" an application is not just asking for trouble but demanding it!

i transfered all of my info from my old mac to my new one..but the show up as 2 different user accounts..how can i make it only one??
Log in from one account, drag the other account's home folder from the Users folder to the desktop, provide your administrator password, move anything you want into the corresponding location of the current account's home folder, and use the Accounts pane of System Preferences to remove the other account. You cannot delete a logged-in account or the only administrator account on the machine from System Preferences.

How do I transfer my iTunes from my old mac to my new one?

How do I move apps from an old mac to a new one
I am purchasing a new Macbook Pro after having my old one for six years. I have numerous apps that I have purchased and downloaded over the years. I don't want to loose them and really don't want to have to purchase them again. Can I and how can I move apps from my old Mac to my new one?
Be sure you back your current system up BEFORE you do anything. If you use Time Machine, migration assistant works well.

How do i speed up my migration from my old mac to the new one?
what method are you using? Firewire, ethernet, wireless? I'm assuming you are doing this via Migration Assistant. You can't speed it up if it is in process, but you can use a faster method if available to you. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413
