I'm thinking about buying one of those new 1.5 ghz AlBooks...but I want to know how difficult it will be to move all my stuff off my old TiBook



I'm talking about my iTunes library, adress book, and my iPhoto pictures mainly

    Well...



    Do you have some means to connect your old and the new 'Book (i.e. a crossover ethernet cable or something) ?



    Once that point is cleared out, it's pretty easy to transfer your data.



    -> The Address Book has a function to export/import it's address database.



    -> The iTunes library usually resides in ~/Music/iTunes. Here you'll find the iTunes music library files along with the folder containing all the song files. Just copy this stuff to the same location on your new 'Book.



    -> Not sure about iPhoto (not usin' it), but shouldn't be much harder.



    Greetings,
