How do i transfer itunes to a new computer?

I bought a new laptop.  How do i transfer my itunes to this new computer with an external hard drive?

Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.

  • Just bought a new computer--how do I transfer itunes to the new computer?

    Just bought a new computer(windows 7).  How do I transfer itunes to windows 7 from windows xp?

    You don't have to transfer from your iphone5 to itunes on your computer.
    Log into itunes store on your computer using the same appleId you used to purchase those music, go to music library, and you should see all your previously purchased music with a cloud and down arrow symbol next to them.
    Click on the cloud, and that song will be downloaded to your computer. Try to look around to see if there's any way to do all downloads at one command.
    You should also go back to your old computer and deauthorize that computer from your itunes account, then authorize your new computer as one of the 5 allowed to playback itunes content.
    The behavior of itunes may have changed with recent updates. In the past, when I plugged in my iphone to a new computer, I do remember being asked by itunes if I wanted to transfer purchases over. Give it a try and see what happens.
    But whatever you do, if your current itunes library is still empty, DO NOT say yes to sync with iphone. It would wipe out your itunes library on your iphone because you would be syncing a blank libary over to the iphone. Sync iphone with your computer itunes library only after the computer's library has more content than your iphone's library. That's just to play it safe.

  • How do i transfer itunes to a new pc?

    How do I transfer iTunes to a new pc?  All of my music files are on an external drive.

    a) are you transfering from the ipod to the new computer, or through a hard drive? I am not getting the question.
    If you are using the ipod use a program called ipod to folder to extract the music.
    b) make sure you use your old itunes account from your old computer and not a new one.

  • How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without lossing all my music?

    How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without losing all my music?
    I don't want to rebuy everything I have purchased over the years.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.
