Hi, The Joker. How exciting to have a new computer! You need to install Adobe Digital Editions for Mac. It's just like using ADE for PC. When you install the software make sure you use the same account for ADE that you were using on your PC. Then you need to connect your NC via USB to your new Macbook. ADE should recognize your NC and show it as a device. If I remember correctly, the first time that ADE recognized my NC it asked me if I wanted to authorize it. Say yes so then your Mackbook & NC are authorized to the same account.

You don't need the Overdrive Media Console on your Mac for library books. When you download the book from your library, an ACSM file will appear in a folder called "Downloads". Open the ACSM file with ADE and it will import the library EPUB/PDF into your ADE Library. Then you can transfer it to your NC. You only need Overdrive Media Console to download audiobooks.

When you purchase books from a non-BN source (such as Kobo, Borders, booksonboard), then the process is similar. Those websites will also download an ACSM file into your Downloads file that you open with ADE.

Hope that helps! Have fun playing with your new Macbook this weekend. I thought the book Switching to the Mac by David Pogue (part of the O'Reilly Missing Manual series) was pretty good for quickly learning the differences in the PC versus Mac environments.
