[QUOTE="chscag, post: 710657, member: 46727"] Transferring files is best done with an external USB 2.0 or Firewire drive. As long as the external is formatted to FAT-32 your Mac can read and write to it. You can also use a flash drive although if you have large amounts of data, that may not be very convenient. Transferring very large files (greater than around 4 Gb) such as videos might be a problem as FAT-32 is limited to a single file size of ~4 Gb. NTFS has no file size limit but your Mac can only read from NTFS and would need a third party driver to write. As far as iTunes is concerned you can transfer your music and\or videos in the same way, however, you may have to re-authorize them to play on the Mac. Other things to install on your new MBP? Just keep reading this forum to get ideas. I could name a dozen or more things but that would be only my personal opinion. Take it slow and have fun. :D Regards. [/QUOTE]
