Hey everyone.

I recently bought an iBook G4 and I have a couple of quetions.
Until now, I always used a PC computer, so all my music and documents and pictures are on my PC. Now I would like to transfer all my documents, and especially my music (from iTunes) to my new iBook.
I looked over the internet for help, but couldn't find anything.
So if anyone knows how to do that - please answer ...
Thanks a lot in advance.

Are these the only options? Because I have like 2 GB of songs, for example. Which will take a LOT of CDs...

You can connect both computers with an ethernet cable and transfer the files. It's pretty fast at 100mbit/sec. (enable Windows sharing and/or FTP access on the Mac in Sharing System Preferences, then connect to your Mac from the PC and copy your files).

Hi SummerLoving
No, an ethernet cable is not included with the iBook. Maybe you have one connected to PC! I my home we have such cables all over...

an ethernet cable looks like this:
