Moving iTunes and iPhoto Library from Tiger 10.4 to El Capitan

I have an old iBook running Tiger and want to transfer the music and photo's held in the iTunes Library and the iPhotos Library onto my new iMac El Capitan.

I realise that Migration assistant does not work between these two machines and was wondering the best way to move them so they are imported into the new iMacs Librarys.

Any Help greatly received.

iBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Do you know if the iPhoto updated works with such An old library?

I don't know for sure but I wouldn't think so. That's why I suggested exporting all the photos you want to move as JPEG's to an external hard drive and them importing them into iPhoto or Photos. I would do the same with the music except export as MP3.

You might try starting the iBook up in Target Disk Mode and accessing the libraries that way Share files between two computers with target disk mode - Apple Support
