Hi,
A painless way to do it ...
From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

I recently bought a new computer and downloaded itunes but when i try to sync it, someone else's apple i.d. shows up and i don't know the password. I try to authorize my computer but it still won't let me

I recently bought a new computer and downloaded itunes onto it. When i sync my ipod it prompts me to authorize my computer
with the purchases that i've made, but when i try to do so, my apple i.d. is not what shows up and so my ipod won't sync any of my songs or apps. I have no idea who's username i'm seeing and i've never seen it before. That's the only thing that is stopping my ipod to sync, a password that isn't mine!! I am beyond frustrated and don't know what else to do, if someone can please help me i would be so appreciative you have no idea. Thank you so much

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Your music and playlissts will only be where you put them.
Have you copied them to your new computer from your old one?

Just bought a new computer and downloaded itunes again and when I log in all my old music is not there. I created a new playlist but it won't sinq to iphone without erasing all my other songs.

I just bought a new computer and set it up. Downloaded itunes again and logged in; however, all of my old content is not there. I just created a new playlist and want to sinq it to my phone but get a message saying it will delete all of my old songs. Please help

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

HT1420 I'm trying to authorize a new computer with an itune account, but my the computer statea that I have too many devices authorized. I only have 2 computers in my possession now. How can I deauthorize computer I don't have anymore without deauthorizin

I have recently purchased a new lap top. Both my wife and I share our Itune music. When I purchesed the computer I was able to authorize my itunes account on it and move my purchaced music over from my iphone. However, I was not able to move my wifes music over because she has too many devices authorized under her account. Most of those computers are no longer in our possession and have been thrown out. How can she deauthorzise computer we don't have in our possession anymore without deauthorizing them all?

Authorizing deauthorizing has NO effect at all on your itunes library. You lose nothing.
You should also alwasy have a backup copy.
You MUST deauthorize all.
You have the only answer there is.

Bought a new computer and lost my account info - HELP!

I finally got around to upgrading our computer and bought a new Vista based PC. I still have to worry about transferring my iTunes library from the old computer (any ideas on the simplest way??).
I downloaded the latest iTunes software and logged back in using my account info. But it treats me as if I were brand new. I can't find my account $ balance - and I can't find anywhere the info on downloading my pre-order of the new Maroon 5 CD.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks,

Hi, Brad.

Submit the form at the bottom of this Apple Support page and see if that gets you anywhere.

My old computer crashed, how do I make my new computer my main Itunes account? It's still looking for the other when I need to back up my other apple devices.

My old computer crashed and my itunes is on a new computer, but my I Pad and other devices keep waiting for me to hook up the old laptop for updates. How do I make my new laptop (windows) my primary I Tunes acct.?

It does not matter what the settings are for your iPod. iTunes syncing generally works in one direction only, from iTunes library to iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library

How to initialize older external hard drive to new computer and transfer itunes library

How can i initialize an older external hard drive (maxtor one touch ii, without the original operating disc) into my new computer operating mac osx 10.6.8 to transfer an itunes library?

Just connect the drive, run Disk Utility, select the drive, and partition/erase it as required.
By the way, this forum is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, and doesn't get much traffic. Hence it's not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with problems involving more recent systems. There are specific forums for all PowerPC and Intel-based Macs as well as forums for each version of Mac OS X.

New computer/want old itunes account

How can I download my itunes account that has all my music, etc onto a new computer? I tried to download it and it it downloaded without any music, just a blank account.

You can't use 2 accounts if you want them on the one device.
What you can do is use home sharing on the computer and the iPad.

How do I sync my current iPod to my new computer? (same iTunes account)

I've had my iPod touch for a few years, had it connected to my old laptop but I recently got a new laptop. I downloaded iTunes on my new computer and signed in to my account. I had some music downloaded from somewhere other than iTunes and I moved all those files to the new laptop's iTunes library; and there is also some new songs that I purchased from the iTunes store on this computer that are not on my old computer or my iPod. I tried syncing my iPod with my new laptop and it connect and I click sync and it goes through the 3 steps, yet none of the new music has transferred over. I'm not sure if there's something wrong here or if there's something I have to do. Please help!

It was just the button at the bottom that said "sync" so i clicked that and it said like step 1 backing up step 2 preparing to sync and step 3 syncing yet none of the new music synced. and i went onto the tab that says music and i clicked on the box that said sync all music but it went way down to like 700 songs when i actually have over 2000 in the library. so i canceled that and didnt go through with it because i dont want to click the wrong button and lose alot of my music

TS1389 I have been trying to authorize my new computer for my itunes account for several days. When I type the correct log in and user name I receive the error message "The itunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

I want to access my songs, but Itunes won't let me. I continue to receive the same message.

Here is how I solved it on my Macs as well as Windows.
Here is for the Mac:
- Quit iTunes
- Go to Safari and open Safari preferences (in the Safari/Preferences menu)
- Navigate to the privacy tab.
- Choose to "Always" block cookies (you can change that back once the issue is solved)
- Click "Details" below "Remove All Website Data"
- Type apple.com in the search field
- Select apple.com and click the remove button
- Check that the apple.com line does not re-appear (it shouldn't, but if it ever does, quit and relaunch Safari and start over)
- Quit Safari
- Launch iTunes
- Connect to your iTunes account
- Smile :-)
Here is for Windows 7 (must be similar for other Windows versions):
- Quit iTunes (and Safari if you have it)
- Openan Explorer window ("My Computer" for example)
- Well hidden in the upper bar under "Organize" choose "Folder and search options"
- In the "view" tab, make sure that "Show hidden files, folders and drives" is checked and click OK
- Navigate to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies or YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies if that is easier
- Delete everything in that folder
- (I am not sure this is necessary) you might want to also trash items in the YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Cookies folder
- Launch iTunes
- Connect to your iTunes account
- Smile :-)
Please tell me if that works for Mac and PC (I tried other things before those instructions so an extra step might have been involved)
Jérôme.
