How do I transfer my songs from my old computer to my laptop? They are both the same iTunes account

How do I transfer my songs from my old computer to my laptop? They are both the same iTunes account.

These are two possible approaches that should work to move an existing iTunes library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where computer has died with no backup then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    If you only copy your Files you will lose your favorites. The best Way to copy your Library to the New Computer is to Export your libery (you can find the Export in the menue). This will copy your Wohle Library on cd. If you Out in These cd's in your new Computer iTunes will copy it with all informations.
    While that may work, it is extremely time consuming and unnecessary.
    Copying the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer will keep the library intact.

    Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
    For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:

  • How do I transfer purchased music from an old computer onto a new one?

  • How do I FaceTime using two iPhones that are on the same iTunes account?

    My husband and I share the same iTunes account for both of our iPhones. How can we FaceTime each other?

    Pretty easy actually.  I had this same issue a few weeks ago when I got my wife an iPhone.
    Go to Settings > FaceTime > int there, it will say recieve calls at "X" amount of locations.  When you open that, you can check and uncheck email addresses and phone numbers.  You can also add and/or remove email addresses.
    Once you do this, you will want to go into Messages and do the same thing there as well.  Otherwise you will recieve each others iMessages too.
    Good Luck!!  Cheers!

  • How do I transfer iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Air and retain the Albums?

    I just transferred my iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Air by dragging the entire Library from my Pictures folder onto an external HD and then dragging from there onto my new Air. Transfer effected fine and all images now appear in iPhoto on the new Air. One problem: the Albums that were present on the left hand toolbar in iPhoto on my old machine are no longer there, so I have 50,000 images with no organization. Events are still there organized by date so that is something, but the Albums are not there and that is what I primarily relied on. Help please??

    The left hand pane is the source pane. Were both Macs running the same version of iPHoto?
    Try rebuilding the library with the option to Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.

  • How do i bring my songs from my old computer to my new one

    i just got a mac and i have a ton of songs on my iTunes on my old computer. however most of my songs were imported from another source. i don't want to go through the hours of work to rename all of the songs if i reload them onto my new computer. someone told me there is a way to transfer all of my songs to the new computer via the internet. however he was not sure about how to do it. can anyone explain how?

    the rest of my songs are from another source
    Once a song is in iTunes, it doesn't matter where it originally came from - it will transfer from one machine to another. The only problem would be where the song is a DRM iTunes Store purchase and you used up all your 5 authorisations, but this doesn't apply in your situation.
