Transferring Files

[JordanLB23]

what kind of cable do i need to connect a mac book pro to my old pc laptop to transfer files like music videos and photoshop files?

You'd need to connect over a network. If you don't currently have a WiFi or Ethernet network to use, a standard Ethernet cord between the two would work. Then you'd enable file sharing on your PC, and connect to it from your Mac to copy files.

That is more than likely not going to work. PCs don't have a concept of "target mode" like a Mac does.

You will have to use something like a thumb drive or an external HD as the middle man to transfer the files back and forth. Or copy them to some place on the net like a .Mac account.

your songs should be in your itunes folder on your PC you just move that to your mac and drop them in the library

i'd just get like a 4gb pen drive or something, or you can pick up a western digital passport drive that would work, all you do is plug it in, both systems will see it
