Hello all,
I recently purchased a Macbook air, and I want to transfer just my photos and music over. What is the best way, and how?
Thanks

Copy the iTunes Folder from yourhomefolder/Music/ to the same location on the new machine.
Copy the iPhoto library from yourhomefolder/Pictures/ to the same location on the new machine.
You can do this via an external drive, or via wireless network (enable file sharing in System Preferences --> Sharing on the old machine, and it will automatically show up under "Shared " in the sidebar of the new machine's Finder windows.

If both have Lion, you could also use airdrop.

The macbook is on 10.5. I found the solution. Just found that opening up sharing the two recognized each other right off. I have about 2 hours of transferring going on. Thanks!
