Recently purchased new Mac book pro. Want to transfer files from old

iBook needs to be upgraded
Migration Assistant. sigh.
I was going to suggest putting the iBook into target disk mode and
connecting the two machines via Firewire.... but I'm thinking the
iBook only has FW400 and the MBP has FW800.
If you connect them via ethernet, you're back to MA being useless.
Probably the easiest thing to do is to make a backup of the iBook on
an external drive then connect it to the MBP and just copy stuff over.
Also I have a Toshiba terabyte external hard drive that every other
Mac in the house can see but not the new MacBook pro. I have
reformatted it by the MacBook pro but still unable to get it to work.
This is a USB drive?
What errors are you getting?
Any errors being thrown into the system log?
Does Disk Utility and/or System Profiler see it at all?
You've set Finder to view drives and such on the desktop?
