How do I transfer my iTunes library from my pc to my new macbook?

I just bought a MacBook Pro and I want to move my iTunes library from my PC to the Mac, preferably using CD's. What's the easiest way to do this?
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my MacBook Pro?

Just copy the entire Music folder from the old Mac to the new Mac, then click on the folder and Get Info and change the permisisons and click the spoke to "apply to enclosed items"
Ideally it's best to use the same user name on the new machine, this way all your iTunes playlists work and there is no need to change permissions.
You can create the same named user by creating another account in System Preferences >accounts
If the old computer is a PC then just copy the old Music folder to the Mac onto the desktop, then use iTunes to import the music files.
If the old comptuer is dead, then you can extract the hard drive(if it's still working) and use a IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable to access the internal drive.
Mac's should be able to read NTFS format of PC's, just not write to it. But if it's not working there is software to install to allow the Mac to read that NTFS drive format, just search online.

HT4527 How can I transfer my iTunes library from my iPad to my new computer?

My hard drive crashed without recent backup and I would like to transfer my iTunes library from my iPad to the new hard drive. Some tunes transferred and some didn't. Thanks.

Non-iTunes purchases cannot be transferred from an iDevice to computer via iTunes.
The simplest solution is to simply move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. Why anyone would choose to make life more difficult by screwing around with transferring purchases from an iDevice and using 3rd party software to extract non-iTunes purchases is beyond me.
IF for some reason there is no backup of the old computer and/or the old computer is no longer accessible, then try google for solutions.
Do yourself a favor going forward, backup your media and other important data.

My one computer got damaged and i bought a new one how do i transfer my itune library from that computer to the new one

I had a itune library on one computer and it got damaged. I went out and bought myself another computer thinking that when I sign in my old library would come up. Wrong. Since I was unaware of this I did not back up my songs. Now I am trying to obtain my information from my old computer. I just have the songs on my Ipod touch which I can not seem to transfer to the new computer. I can not be the only one that this has happen to. I have all the information a person would require. How do I get my information from my old library back onto the new computer

There is a program called Migration Assistant that can help, this is the Mac to Mac article, there is a similar article for PC to Mac.

How to transfer an iTunes library from an iPhone to a new Macbook Air

I just received a new macbook air and I would like to transfer the music from my iPhone to my new laptop. My old laptop that contained my itunes library is dead so I don't know how to get the music from my iPhone onto my new computer.

Is the music you want on your new Mac all purchased music via iTunes?
If so, then you can log into the iTunes Store on your Mac, and then on the right side, click on Purchased under Quick Links. Then click on All Songs, and Not on This Computer. You will see all of your purchased iTunes music listed with a little cloud next to each song. You can download songs individually, or go to the bottom and click on Download All.
Cheers,

How do I transfer my iTunes library from nonworking PC to my new PC?

We had an old PC that crashed and now we can't get to our library through iTunes. Can I do it with just the iPod Touch 2nd gen? or do I have to resink or 100 cd library???? Please help! They have a way to do it in the iTunes support but that is with the old working computer with the library.

No backup is a big mistake.

How do i transfer my itunes library from an old to a new ipod

How do i upload my existing itunes library form my old ipod to a new one?

This is the method I would normally recommend:
Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
You can use your iPod classic to move your library to a new computer but if you don't already have a backup copy of the library (and your other important data) now is the time to think about it.

how can i transfer my itunes library from my ipod to a new laptop

3 things you need to transfer music from iPod to itunes: iPod, computer, iTunes.
step 1 connect your ipod to your computer via the white USB cable.
step 2 open My Computer, or just Computer from the start menu and look for the ipod drive. It should be in the (F:) drive. You will see the ipod logo in the listing of disk drives.
step 3 Now you should have a new folder called ipod_control. Open that folder up and you should see the following: Calendar, Contacts, ipod_control, notes, photos, ect. If you are trying to save all of your music then the ipod_control folder is the only one you need to worry about.
step 3 Open the ipod_control folder then open the music folder. Copy each one of those folders (should look similar to these: F00, F01 ...) onto your computer.
step 3 Open itunes and insert the new folder you created on your computer's desktop into: library ---> Music
