How do I transfer my itunes to a new computer if my home sharing isn't working?

I just bought a new Windows 8 computer but my iTunes isn't transfering to my new computer. I made a home sharing account on my old computer and logged into it on my new computer, but it just says searching for music then won't open anything. How do I get my music over to my new iTunes?
Thanks!
Jamie

From your OLD computer...
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

  • My computer crash how do i transfer my itunes to the new computer?

    my computer crash how do i transfer my itunes to my new computer?

    I sympathize with roaminggnome - How is this so? I will tell you how this is so.....
    2 Macbooks and an Ipad were stolen from my house. When i was out of the house, I had my phone with me.
    I always backed everything/synced to my computer AND to icloud.
    Now we have a new computer and Ipad and you are telling me I would need to email my 1,600 pictures from my iphone photo albums to myself and reload them to my new computer?
    You have got to be kidding me? I also do not understand how I saved all of my albums to my ipad & on the computer and synced to BOTH the computer AND icloud, but those albums are lost, because they were not on my camera roll?
    1. I need another solution to getting my photos from my iphone to my imac.
    2. How do i recover those albums that were saved to icloud, but I can only "see" the camera roll on icloud.
    I know they are there somewhere - here is why:
    When I first got my (new) Ipad and had downloaded (what i thought was everything) from icloud, I opened up my photos to show someone a picture that night and low and behold the names of several of my albums were in the photo app, but the pictures were all jumbled up. Almost like it was trying to search and organize, but it just wasn't done...... Example - dog album had pictures of leaves or people, not the dog.
    The next day I opened the Ipad & went to photos, no albums, just photo stream, camera roll. Only the pictures that had been taken when we first got the (old) Ipad.
    Can anyone provide assistance??
    thanks!

  • How can I transfer my iTunes library to new computer?

    I have all of my songs on my iTunes library in a older computer. Just got a new computer and I don't know how to transfer my iTunes library from old computer to my new one. I tried out few ideas but i can't do the task.
    I really appreciate any help or advice.

    How about using an external drive? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    or follow this article using cd's and restore afterwards on your new computer. Don't forget to authorize your new computer in the store menu in itunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420

  • My computer crashed, I have no access to the hard drive.  How do I transfer my itunes to my new computer without messing up my ipod?

    My computer crashed, I have no access to the hard drive.  I have a new computer, I want to install i-tunes so I can purchase more music, but I'm afraid to attach my i-pod to the computer, because I want the music already on it saved.  How do I transfer the music on my i-pod to my new computer?  I don't have access to the old computer at all, just the i-pod.
    I'm not real computer "savy", so easy to follow instuctions would be helpful.
    Thanks,

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - To transfer other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup

  • How do I transfer my iTunes to a 'new' computer using my iPad?

    It's not really a new computer, but the same one I've had for a while now. I had gotten a virus on my computer and took it to IT. Long story short, they had to wipe my hard drive, because of how deep the virus got in and I'm basically starting over from scratch. Yeah, fun, I know. Anything that I would need to do on the 'old' computer is not possible because they are one and the same. I have signed into iTunes and activated my account on this computer, again. I've plugged in my iPad and it transferred most of the songs and books I purchased (some are missing), but none of my apps. What do I need to do?

    See your third thread!

    Copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.  Also copy any synced information that is not in your iTune library from your old computer to your new one (such as contacts, calendars, any synced photos, etc.).
    If you can't do this then used this guide to avoide data loss: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141..
