How do i move my itunes account from my old windows xp laptop to my new windows 8 laptop

My old laptop uses Windows XP but it is so old the memory is far too small to cope with my itunes library. I have purchased a new laptop with Windows 8, how do I move my itunes account from my old laptop to my new one.. not very PC literate unfortunately so I would appreciate simple instructions..

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 have a Backup of iTunes.

  • How do I move my itunes account from one country to another?

    How do I move my itunes account from one country to another?  I set up my itunes account in the United States and now I live in England.  I would like to transfer my purchases from my US account to my British account and then download them onto my new ipod.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and I have updated my Windows 7 operating system.  I have tried to get in touch with apple and the advisor said he could not help me.  Ideas? 

    Before you change the country, note the following:
    - you must use any remaining store credit on your account
    - download all purchased content
    - ensure you have no current rentals(if you do, you'll have to wait for them to expire)
    - provide a new payment(such as a credit or debit card) associated with a valid billing address in the UK or an iTunes Gift Card purchased in the UK
    - content purchased from the iTunes Store is country-specific. If you wish to upgrade any of your iTunes Store content to iTunes Plus, you'll need to do this before you change countries. The content you purchased while your account was set to the previous country will not be eligible for upgrade once you've changed countries.
    - after you change countries, you will no longer receive application update notifications in iTunes for the apps you purchased in your original country. However, you'll still receive update notifications on your iOS device for any applications installed on it. In addition, you'll be able to download previously purchased applications again for free if they are available on your new country's store. You will not be charged and the download will not appear on your Purchased page. If a previously purchased application is not available in your new country, you will not be able to download it again for free.
    - If you have an iTunes Match subscription, you can't change countries until the subscription has expired.
    - If you have purchased a Season Pass, you cannot change the country associated with your account until that season is done airing and the last episode of the season has been added to the iTunes Store.
    Taking the above into consideration, here's how to change your country:
    1. Open iTunes and click Sign In.
    2. Enter your iTunes Store account name and password, then click Account Info.
    3. On the Apple Account Information page, click Change Country or Region.
    4. Enter the updated information and save your changes.

  • How do I move my iTunes files from an old computer (Windows XP) to a new one (Windows 7 Professional)?

    Can anyone tell me how to move my iTunes music and book files from an old computer running Windows XP to my new one running Windows 7 Professional?  Do I download and install iTunes on the new system then use the backup and restore functions?  If so, it looks like the backup only goes to CDs or DVDs; there are so many files that using a USB drive would make more sense, but that does not appear to be an option.  Would it work to simply copy the iTunes folder under My Music to the new computer and assume that iTunes would find it?  Thank you, very much, for any help and guidance.

  • How do i transfer my iTunes account from my old pc to may new iMac?

    my first itunes account was made on my windows 7 pc and i just got an imac. i went to sync my phone and all my other apple products on the new mac and none of my music or apps came up on my itunes account.

    No. As per you initial post, the library currently on the iMac is blank.
    If you prefer, delete the iTunes folder on the Mac before copying it from Windows 7.
    After it copies, launch iTunes and your library will look just as it did on Windows 7.
