How do I get movies I purchased through iTunes on my old Mac onto my new Mac?

I bought a new Macbook to replace my old one and can't figure out how to transfer the movies I bought on one to the other?

Copy everything from your old computer to your new one, as you would do any time you get a new computer.
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
You can just copy your entire itunes folder from one computer to the other.

Could someone help me please?

Can some please tell me how i can get all my apps,music and other stuff i had onto the i-tunes on my new laptop?

You can use your backup to populate the iTunes library on your new computer. If you havn't bothered maintaining a backup then apps can be re-downloaded from the app store for free (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519), but media (music/films/tv shows) can only be downloaded once from iTunes (which is one reason why you are advised to make a backup). Purchases made on the iPhone can be transferred off it via File > Transfer Purchases. It's possible, if you do a search on google, that you might find utilities that can help you copy the contents of your iPhone.
You will also find a search box on the right hand side of this window where you can search for similar threads to yours, and which might have more info in them.

How can I get my songs purchased through iTunes to play on a windows phone

My wife recently got a HTC One M8 (windows) phone and wants to transfer her music purchases over to her new phone. How can the AAC protection be removed so the music will play on something other than an Apple product?

AAC is not protection, it is just an audio file format, like MP3.
Itunes purchases have not been DRM protected for many years.
Convert the songs to an audio file format that the new phone will play, then follow the directions for the phone to put the music on it.

How can I get songs not purchased on itunes off of my ipad2 and into itunes without using an external harddrive?

This has been a problem forever. I don't want to blank my devices and sync them. I just want to move files between them. It is a huge pain in a** that you can't just drag files around.
I have music from before ipods. It was put on an pc years ago that used to be linked to my current ipad2. All of my music is on the ipad2. that old pc has been reformatted and is now used as a workstation with only a few programs on it. I now have a new pc. I want my music on this pc. why am i not allowed to do this through itunes? why does syncing not take files on my ipad that aren't on my pc? why must i erase all of my data on the device in order to sync with itunes that has no data to sync?
All of the music i have purchased through itunes is fine. all of the apps are fine. what possible reason could there be for me not being permitted to take things that i own and put them on other things that i own?
I also have a new 5s. Why must i also erase this to put one friggin playlist on it?
Could i do this using an external hardrive? maybe. in an incredibly and overly laborious way. when the friggin files are right there. when i can look at them, and even play them through my pc from my ipad, but moving them over so i can put them on my phone.... **** no. the world would explode then.
The sync options should have a choice of putting all the combined data from both devices on both devices. I have absolutely no understanding of why in the year 2013 this is still a problem.
Most likely for the 10 trillionth time on this forum, how do i do this?

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
While I agree that it would be nice if it was easier to transfer media from your Apple devices they should never be used as the sole location for any of your media. They are too easily lost, stolen, damaged, or corrupted. The user tip above also includes a link to a suggested library backup strategy so that you can avoid being in the same position in future.

How can I get music (not purchased from iTunes) and photos from my iPad onto my MacBook?

I just recently had my hard drive replaced and lost all of my music and photos from it. I have all of my music and photos backed up onto my iPad and iPhone via iCloud.
I was able to download all of my purchased music from iTunes, back onto my MacBook. The problem is, how do I get the other music and photos from my iPad, back onto my MacBook?

Is there any possible way to backup music that I did not purchase from iTunes on to iCloud?
No.
... if I happened to break my iPad, or if something happened to my Laptop.
If you like your music library, back up your laptop.
If you lose or break your iPad, you can sync your iTunes music library to a brand new one. You will lose nothing.
If you lose your laptop, or it crashes, or becomes virus-infested, you can restore your iTunes music library from your backup. You will lose nothing. Without a backup though, your music resides only on the iPad, and extracting it will require the assistance of third party (paid) utilities. Worse, there is no guarantee they will continue to function after some future iOS upgrade, since the iPad is not designed to work that way.
There are dozens of questions every day from people who lost their iTunes music when their laptop crashed. Your laptop will crash - it's only a question of when.

I have a 32 gb ipad air but need to get the songs I have stored in iTunes on my old iMac onto the ipad air or stored somewhere else. I have over 10000 songs on there which is 30.47 gb. far too much to put on my ipad air. How do I get them off my old iMac which has no internet connection ? And where do I put them. Any help would be appreciated

No I don't have another computer. I was thinking initially I would put them on my ipad but since I don't have enough gb maybe I can store them in some cloud thing? Sorry am a bit of a Luddite when it comes to all this. I just need to have them stored someplace and accessible to play when I need to. Thanks for your help.

Once in a while your e-m provider will make changes and you will get a large dump like that.
I recommend using your web-based e-m to quickly delete them.

How do i get my music from i tunes on my old computer to my new computer?

Hi, i have had help with data export etc, i was just wondering how i get my music, paid for and imported from my old computer to my new one?
Thank you all

Well, there are many ways. First concern though is if you have any music purchased from the iTunes Store. If so you must deauthorize the old computer before transferring your library.
If both computers have Firewire ports then the easiest way is to use Target Disk Mode. You can then copy your /Music/iTunes/ folder to the /Music/ folder on the new computer.
When you run iTunes on the new computer it should find the iTunes folder automatically. You will then have to re-authorize the new computer to be able to use your iTunes Store purchased music.

How do I get my itunes from my old PC to my new Mac?

I just switched from a PC to a Mac. When I plugged in my iphone my itunes account did not come up. How can I fix that?

Consider moving everything from your Windows PC to your Mac in a single move, including your iTunes library: About Windows Migration Assistant - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4796 - Learn about how to use Windows Migration Assistant to migrate your files from a Windows PC to a Mac.
Quick answer for just iTunes 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) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
If you put the copied iTunes folder 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.)
