I am getting a macbook pro next week and I have a lot of songs and pics on my p.c. that i want to transfer over. i know you can do this with portable hard drive or disks but can you do it using a USB to firewire cable to connect the two computers?

Answer
I know that you can connect two PC's together using http://www.laplink.com/
I know that you can connect two Macs with Firewire (the ability is built in)
I am not aware of any way to connect a PC to a Mac using USB or Firewire. Your PC probably doesn't have Firewire anyway.

While the process is a bit too lengthy to describe in a Yahoo Answers post, you can transfer your information over the network using a switch. It'll take a bit of research and learning on your part.
