You can move the music to the new Mac from the iPad - if it is purchased from iTunes.
Read this discussion. I think you should find it helpful.

If it was not purchased but imported from CD's look for a third party app to do this - check out TouchCopy from Wide Angle Software

How do I get purchased Itunes songs from Windows PC to MAC OS powerbook itu
I have been purchasing music from Itunes (using my Windows PC) and burning CDs. Now, I have an ipod which I will be using with my MAC powerbook. How do I get the purchased music over to the MAC so I can download them onto my IPOD. The PC is too old and not compatable with an IPOD.
I sorta need step by step directions... thanksmichele8888 wrote:

On your PC:
1) Back up the original downloaded files (the files ending in .m4p). An easy way for this is to use iTunes's "Back Up to Disc" function to back up your iTunes Music Store purchases onto a CD-R/DVD-R.
2) Deauthorize your computer (Store > Deauthorize Computer...)
On your Mac:
1) Insert the disc with your backed up purchased files. Choose "File > Import", and select the tracks to add to your Mac's iTunes library.
2) Authorize your new Mac to play these purchases (again) (Store > Authorize Computer...)
You should be good to go at this point when syncing your iPod.
Hope this helps,

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 -

How do i get my Itunes library from my crashed hard drive to put on my new computer? The old computer had Windows Vista and the new computer has Windows 8.
It will only be where you put it.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. File>Transfer Purchases. -

how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?
You don't use Airplay. You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

My iTunes library has been replaced with my husband's iTunes library on our iMac. How do I get my iTunes library from my iPhone back onto my iTunes library on the iMac? Help!!!
Well, this is a problem, because the only material you can transfer from your iPhone (using only Apple software) is material you purchased in the iTunes Store.
To do that, plug your iPhone into iTunes, then choose File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from iTunes' menu.
Generally speaking, you should restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup. -
How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -

how do I get a free app from the US store, as it's not in the UK store, and it say my id is not valid when I swich stores?
To be able to use the US store you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account. You can try requesting that it be added to the UK store, but unless the app's developer agrees to it then Apple won't be able to put it in the UK store : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
