I recently got a new macbook pro, and I want to transfer some data from my powerbook to the MBP. The thing is that I allready ran the first boot setup, and I don't know how to run the data transfer now. Also is it possible to customize the transfer? Such as to only transfer my application's, photo's, and music?

Thanks!

I did the transfer and it worked great, I transfered everything but my old user account so no settings were transfered. Overall it was pretty easy.
