Hi,
I just recently got a Mac computer from my sister. I was using a compaq PC before and now I was wondering how do I transfer my photos, my work (documents) and my music from itunes into my MAC? :confused:

Assuming it's a Mac running OS X, easiest way is to use the Move2Mac (http://www.detto.com/mac-file-transfer.html) program. You can manually migrate, too, but this is the easiest route. Here are some tips (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1408?viewlocale=en_US) from Apple on migrating. Note that if your Mac doesn't have MS Office, you can do one of the following:

1. Buy MS Office (http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/Office2008/default.mspx) for the Mac (most expensive)
2. Buy iWork (http://www.apple.com/iwork/) which will read Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files (less expensive)
3. Download and use OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org/) 3 which does +95% of what MS Office does (free download)
