How do I add itunes music to a second computer

I just purchased a new Microsoft Surface Pro 3, and I have downloaded ITunes to it.  I have ITunes on our desktop PC at home.  I have also added the new Surface Pro 3 to "home sharing".  BUT, how do I get the music already showing on my desktop version of ITunes onto my Surface Pro 3?

Thanks!  I chose Home Sharing, and that added all the various songs, albums, and playlists to the new PC.
BUT, this did not solve my problem.  The new Surface Pro 3 is going to be used as a travel PC to take with us when away from home.  The Home Sharing ONLY seems to work while both PCs are on, and ITunes is open on both.  When we are traveling, the home PC will not be on.
Is there some way to permanently add the songs to my new Pro 3?  The instructions you sent seems to say there is NOT, and that I would have to have a CD or external drive.  Could I somehow download the ITunes Library to a flash drive, and then plug it into the Pro 3 when I wanted to access ITunes?

  • How do transfer my itunes music from my old computer to my new netbook

    Hi everybody
    I´ve been goin crazy tryin to transfer my music from my girlfreinds old labtop to my new netbook. How do i do it?

    are we talking Mac or that other OS ?
    Mac:
    the simplest way, assuming all your media files are in the default location, would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    winsloth:
    copy the entire iTunes folder from the old to the exact same location on the new machine. you can use an external HD or your network to do that.

  • How can I add iTunes music to a slideshow I am making and share?

    Hi, I am making a slideshow for my daughter's birthday and when I go to add music to it, it does not let me. How can I do this? Thanks for any help! Plumgirl11

    Plumgirl,
    Use the PowerPoint command Insert > Audio > Audio from file, and navigate to where the audio file is located.
    If you don't know where the file is located, right-click the track in iTunes and choose Show in Windows Explorer.
    Make sure the song you want to use is in MP3 format.  If it is in something else, make an MP3 version, per this document:

  • How do I move iTunes music content from one computer to another?

    I need to move iTunes content from an older MacBook, which serves as the music source for our audio system, to a new Mac mini, which will now do the same.
    I know to move the folder in the music folder but I would like to make certain the playlists are moved in conjunction with the move so I don't have to recreate the playlists on the new mini.
    I can't find any information on how to do this in the faqs, in the Take Control books, or the latest system manuals.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    I have new iphone and all data were restored but my music! How can I add my music from Itunes and new iphone?

    Connect the old phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your music in iTunes except any tracks that were not purchased from iTunes. If you have any such you will have to retrieve them from the original source, or see: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
    Apple also has this tip for copying data from an old phone to a new one.

  • How do I add purchased music to my ipod?

    How do I add purchased music to my ipod?  I do not like this new itunes update and find it very confusing.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions.

    No one here will help you violate iTunes terms of service or steal music.
