How Can I Back Up Itunes Library to CD/DVD with New Itunes

I have the newest version of itunes 10.5.2 and theres no longer an option to backup to a cd or dvd. I need to move all of my apps,songs,videos, ect to a new computer. If i can not use a DVD anymore, whats the easiest way to move EVERYTHING, purchased and non purchased, to a different computer?
Thanks so much for any help!

Backup your library using this User Tip.
Deauthorise the old computer if you won't be using it for iTunes.
Restore the library into the music folder on the new computer.
Install iTunes and sign in to your account.

How can I sync my iMac & iPod Touch calendar & contacts with new iTunes?

I have just installed the latest iTunes to my iMac. My iPod Touch has iOS 6.0.1. My iMac has OS 10.6.8. I sync by Wi Fi via iCloud. My calendar and contacts are not syncing by Wi Fi between the two, although my mail is. I What should I do?

This says that it can't be done.
But I am able to do it for my calendars in iCloud, just not for my contacts in iCloud.
What is the reason for the difference.

HT1329 How can I get the songs on my iPod onto my new iTunes library?

I have an iPod that was synced to another iTunes library on another PC. The PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro but it keeps saying the iPod is synced w/ another iTunes library. How can I get the songs on my iPod on the new iTunes library?

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Use the backup of the old computer and copy the iTunes files to the new one.
However, since you are writing here, you probably didn't have a backup, so check out this user provided support document https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

How can i transfer my Ipad Library and Apps to a new laptop - my old laptop died before i could backup my library to an external hardrive

You will need to do this via iTunes to start with as you need to copy your iTunes files to the new computer.
If you have everything on your iPad you can select "transfer purchases..." when plugging your iPad into your new computer and in iTunes (right/ctrl click the iPad icon) after telling iTunes to not sync this iPad.
Once the items are in the new iTunes then when it asks if you wish to sync to this new iTunes your items will be copied to the iPad again.
However if you do not have all iTunes items on your iPad, then you will need to follow the instructions on to move iTunes first, then deal with your iPad.

Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.

when trying to open itunes red x box opens with "new itunes library". No options provided

Sorry reply is only to say "ditto" except for iPod involvement. I can't repair iTunes, can't access it when in programs/features
Any other suggestions out there? I tried reinstall, no difference. Had latest version anyway. Only thing different I did the last time I was able to get into iTunes was listen to radio streams. ??????

That's a proprietary interface.
Odds are there is no adapter. Ask Sony.

How do I get BACK to my ipod from I store, with new itunes?

So I start my I tunes..
It goes to my Apps.. OOps, I have 1 update available.
It goes to the down load page.
I can download it, or refuse it.. and then it takes me to the ITunes store.
How do I get back to my own Ipod? I cannot find the menu option. seems the only way is to exit Itunes and restart.
I really do not like this new Itunes format. its so frustrating.
Thanks.

You can't put music directly onto your iPod from a memory stick. You can, however, get iTunes to recognize the tracks on the stick without having to copy them to the computer. Go to the iTunes Advanced preferences and uncheck the option to "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". Then use the Add to Library command or drag the tracks into the iTunes window. iTunes will recognize the track files on the memory stick and allow you to sync them to the iPod. Note that when you remove the memory stick, iTunes will of course then not be able to play nor sync the tracks until you put the stick back in. It may therefore be better to just clear some space on your computer's hard drive.
Regards.
