How can I Transfer my iTunes Library from my old computer to my new?
I just bought a new MacBook Pro (my first Mac) and I am trying to figure out how I can get my library from my iTunes off of my old computer onto my new one? I thought that it was saved by accounts, so when I signed into my iTunes on my new MacBook, all of the songs would be there or automatically transfer into it. This did not happen. Is there a way to do this? I want all my music and movies back!
Thank you.See Here for one way

Just copy the entire Music folder from the old Mac to the new Mac, then click on the folder and Get Info and change the permisisons and click the spoke to "apply to enclosed items"
Ideally it's best to use the same user name on the new machine, this way all your iTunes playlists work and there is no need to change permissions.
You can create the same named user by creating another account in System Preferences >accounts
If the old computer is a PC then just copy the old Music folder to the Mac onto the desktop, then use iTunes to import the music files.
If the old comptuer is dead, then you can extract the hard drive(if it's still working) and use a IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable to access the internal drive.
Mac's should be able to read NTFS format of PC's, just not write to it. But if it's not working there is software to install to allow the Mac to read that NTFS drive format, just search online. -

How do I get my itunes library from my old laptop to my new imac? My purchases are showing on the new imac but not my own music files.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168 -

2011 Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information, particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick solution above. Unfortunately it uses the single term "transferring library" for two very different moves; relocating just your media (not recommended unless you really need this configuration) and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.) -
HT1338 How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old laptop to my new one?

I found a support page from Apple that would allow me to transfer PART of the iTunes library I shared with several other people to my new Macbook Pro. This process involved consolidating all of my music, putting that folder on my sixth generation iPod Nano, plugging my iPod into my new computer and copied/pasted my consolidated music files from my iPod to the folder in Finder called "iTunes". So why is it that when I open iTunes, my music isn't in my library?
My experience is with older versions of iTunes but...
Did you copy a cross a whole iTunes folder with a library or just music files?
Since you said you copied part of a music collection I'm not clear if you copied the library files or just the music files.
If you just copied music files these will have to be added to the library. You can do that through consolidate, or just drag the file to the iTunes window.
If you added a new library you can try holding down the shift key while starting iTunes then point it to the library file location.
IMHO the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1329 are incredibly long and I don't have time right now to check them step for step. -
