Tranfer FilesI

I want to transfer my IPhoto files from my IMAC G5 (PowerPC Processor) to my new 13" MacBook (Intel Processor).

Since there is no FireWire connection on the MacBook and since the two computers are stand alone (in the same household) -- how do I do this?

Thanks,

Welcome to the forum

Maybe copy the files from one machine to the other using either a USB flash drive if you have one, or burning them to CD-RW?

Do they each have network capability, wireless or wired?

Yes, both are on my wireless network and can also connect with an ethernet cable.

That makes things a lot easier - when you said they were standalone, I didn’t think they were connected in any way

Can you not just transfer them over the network from one machine to the other? My two PCs are networked and that’s how I do it
