iCal isn't syncing

Do not know if I need a session but i dropped my laptop and 25% of the screen is gone...can still see the other 75% tho. However, I am going to have to get a nice laptop and want to know if I can transfer all my stuff currently on the old laptop to the new laptop relatively easy. The two most expensive things on my old laptop are Photoshop CS5 Extended which I want to make sure transfers to the new laptop and Microsoft Office for Mac. I am in the process of saving alot of stuff to one of the backup drives I have in my office (not the time capsule)...How easy is it to just copy the whole old laptop over to a new laptop. Sorry for rambling. FYI- everything else is working great. Thanks.

Apple has a great migration assistant that allows you to easily move your data from one computer to the new one. When you boot your new computer for the first time, you’ll be asked if you would like to move data. You’ll then be instructed to boot the older mac into “target disk mode” by holding down the T key at startup. You can then connect the two computers via a firewire cable. (there are other ways but this is the fastest way to transfer info.) You’ll then be given the final steps to start the transfer. It’s fairly easy to do. It will move all applications over including the data you are concerned about. (Office, Photoshop, etc...)

Having damaged your screen, it sounds like your hard drive is still ok. So the transfer should be ok. Sorry to hear of the accident. Let me know if you have any other questions.
