I was hoping someone may grace me with their knowledge.

A simple question really. I will shortly be in the possession of a spankin' new 2.4Ghz Mac Book Pro 2Gb RAM, 160GB etc etc from my humble four year old 1GHZ Powerbook G4 12" 1.25GB RAM, 60GB etc.

The situation is that my Powerbook, however amazing, is almost unable to show video from the iTunes UK store and I will be handing it over to my partner to have. I have 2GB of music and video from the iTunes store (Some DRM, some not). (+13GB of CD copied AAC files...maybe a couple of illegitimate files...ahem. Not many I should hastily add :eek:)

I of course will want my music and media on my new Mac Book pro! How on earth do I transfer everything across and keep it on the original too?

Sorry if that sounds too basic a question for someone that has been with OSX for 4 years!

Am I in the right direction looking into firewire target disk mode to transfer stuff across? Thanks in advance guys, much appreciated.
