    Can an old rMBP talk to a brand new Macbook?

    Transferring Files from S7 to iPhone 8

    How do I go about transferring my music and photos to the iPhone? My music and photos are saved on my S7's SD card, not on the phone's internal storage. My contacts, calendar and mail are all through Gmail. I really don't want to use iTunes (do I have to?) to transfer the music portion. Most...

I'm wondering if I can move my old iMovie Library to my new Macbook, and be able to access the files from iMovie on the laptop and use them in projects. This Library has so...
