How do I transfer files from a time machine hard drive to a new MacMini?

My MacBook Pro running 10.5 is slowly dieing. I want to transfer files, photo libraries, iTunes to our new MacMini runing 10.8. When I connect a hard drive to my MacBook Pro, the screen freezes. I think I need to use the Time Machine copy from the MacBook Pro on an external hard drive to transfer to the new MacMini. Any help or directions to do that?

Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
