ara79,


This is usually very easy to do. Most users tend to put a lot of media (music, photos and movies) on their computer. Simply get an External Hard Disk and then copy and paste your photo library, music library and movie library to the External Hard Disk. Once copied over, all you need to do is double click on each and this will launch the correct application (iTunes, iPhoto, etc..) this will also tell the app where the library has been moved to. Then it's a simple matter of delete the libraries from the original source and emptying the Trash.
