How do I move my Itunes library from my old pc to my new laptop?

Hi,
I have most of my music on my cronky old PC which is about to die! How do I transfer the music on my itunes onto my shiny new laptop? Please can you make it really easy???
Thanks
Helen

Easy way, if you don't have a time-capsule machine or something is to connect an SD card to the PC, move all songs onto it, then connect the SD card to the other computer and move the songs off of it onto the computer.

    Hi FWFFP,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below will explain how to get music onto your new computer.  I'd personally recommend the option of copying the iTunes library from your current computer to an external drive, because it creates a backup for you as well:

  • How do I move my iTunes library from my old computer to my new computer?

    I currently have a Gateway 500S PC running Windows XP. I also have a 120GB portable WD Passport USB Drive. My iTunes library is on this computer.
    I have just purchased a Dell XPS 410 PC running Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
    My question is how do I move my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one utilizing my portable USB Drive without losing my songs and playlists that originally took many days to set-up?

    Answer received did not answer my question. How about some detail on how to do this?

    I recently was given a new dells windows 7 laptop. I then was able to successfully move my itunes library from my old mac to my new dell. Now I am trying to sync my whole library of music back onto my iphone 4, but when I try it says most of my music can not be located. I have exclimation points next to the majority of my music (I have 368 songs in my itunes acount). Please help me be able to sync my songs to my iphone. I am only able to sync about 31 of my songs.

    Copy them from your old computer, or your backuo copy of your old computer. to your new one.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.

  • How do i get my itunes library from my old pc to my new laptop?

    I downloaded itunes to my new laptop and then plugged in my iphone, but it didnt bring up my library.  Help!

    Your music will not magically appear anywhere.  It will only be where you put it.
    You need to copy your music from the old computer to the new one.
    Use your backup copy of your computer.
    Type "move itunes library" into the Google search bar.  You will find instructions there.

  • How do I move my iTunes library from my old MBP to my new one??

    I followed this procedure to the letter and got nothing:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    I really don't want to trash all of my playlists and things and then have to start over from scratch. This was supposed to work.
    Getting pretty sick of Apple products.

    That was exactly what I did, Chris CA, and I got nothing.
    I found a tip somewhere online that suggested editing the iTunes Music Library file, changing the path (my new MB Pro had a slightly different user name) for all the entries that referenced the path. I also noticed that the version of iTunes, noted in the xml file, was 10.1 and I have 10.4 on this new machine.  Once I did that, my old iTunes library, with all the playlists and everything, showed up just fine. I wish that KB article had mentioned this.
    Do you know why this would be necessary? I mean, why should I have to touch the xml file for iTunes to recognize the contents of the iTunes Music folder?
    Thanks for your reply. I do dislike of some of the changes to the Apple line that have occurred over the years, but the alternatives aren't pretty.

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

  • How do I move my iTunes library from an older Mac to a newer one, and have it show up on my iPad and iPhone?

    I have an iTunes library on an old G4 QuickSilver that I want to move to my MacBook Pro, and have some of the albums and songs sync-up with iCloud so I can access them on my iPhone and iPad.  A lot of the albums and songs on the G4 machine were uploaded via CD, not purchased from iTunes.

    You can move iTunes music files in the same way you would transfer any other file (thumb drive, external hard drive, etc.).  Simply move them to your new computer and add them to your iTunes library (File --> "Add To Library").

  • How can I Transfer my iTunes Library from my old computer to my new?

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro (my first Mac) and I am trying to figure out how I can get my library from my iTunes off of my old computer onto my new one?  I thought that it was saved by accounts, so when I signed into my iTunes on my new MacBook, all of the songs would be there or automatically transfer into it.  This did not happen.  Is there a way to do this?  I want all my music and movies back!
    Thank you.
