Bought teen a laptop, created her own itunes acct, can I transfer her music from my computer to her laptop/acct?

Question

I recently purchased my daughter a new laptop. She now has her own itunes account. Over the years she purchased songs, etc on my account and I want to transfer them to her laptop/ itunes acct and get them off mine,. Can this be done without using the home sharing?

Answer 1

You'll want to start by authorizing her computer with the iTunes account used to purchase the media on your computer.
In iTunes, click "Store", then select "Authorize This Computer".
Keep iTunes open on both computers for the rest of the process.
Open iTunes on her computer, on the left you should see your iTunes library under "Shared"
     If you don't see it then go to preferences on your computer and make sure that "Share my library on my local network" is turned on. That option is in: Edit>Preferences>Sharing.
Now, on her computer, select your library and you'll be able to see a list of everything in your library. (You can click the little arrow next to your computer's library on her iTunes to sort by media type.) Select the media you want to copy to her computer and click "Import". Now just wait until it's done, then if you want to remove it from your computer just right-click on it, on your computer, and select "Delete".
