I can think of 3 ways.

If its not a lot of stuff, use a USB device or write them to CD

Otherwise throw them across a network (fastest and best option)

Or if you are not setup to do either of the above upload them to the internet from your PC and download from the laptop.

---

To network the 2 computers disable the firewall on both and conect them with an ethernet cable (looks like a telephone cable but bigger. Probably one with your braodband modem).

Right click the folder you want to share and add it to share (or move the contents to your default shared folder)

On the start menue click run and type in cmd
in comand prompt type ipconfig and note the ip address

On the other computer click run and type \\ip address eg. \\169.245.0.9

If that doesnt work you may need to set static ips. Im guessing if its a new laptop you've windows vista so I cant walk you through that step by step but google will have the answer

There are so many free softwares available that will do the job. Use google

Or

A straightforward way for Windows users to transfer music from an iPod to your hard drive, without extra software:

1. Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
2. In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
3. In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
4. Navigate to the Music folder. On my 2nd gen 'pod, the full path is
Portable Media Devices\GINA'S IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
5. Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.

And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized.")

For photoshop , just reinstall it using the CD you used to originally install it and then enter the license key that would have accompanied the cd.
If you bought it online you should have a reference email with the license key in it.

If you didn't exactly 'buy' PhotoShop, then I'm afraid we can't exactly help you.
