I just recently bought a macbook...and i want all of my music & videos from my itunes on my pc to now be on my mac. Is there any other way of doing this without having to buy an external hard drive? Mind I have 5,000 something songs so just putting a few files on a cd isn't really an option.
 
You could transfer it via ethernet (i.e. a network). Just connect an ethernet cable from your pc into your macbook, and transfer your music that way. :)
 
Make sure you turn the Firewalls off on both the PC and the Mac, as I've found networking with Windows is a nightmare if any firewalls are on.

You'll still be safe as long as you're behind a router, which acts as a firewall...
 
I don't think Windows Firewall itself causes any problems - any third party ones might though.
