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

I just bought a new laptop. I am wondering if there is a way to get the songs i purchased on the old computer onto this one. I am using the same iTunes account for both computers.

Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.

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.

How do I transfer my music from my old iPad to my new one?

How do I transfer my music from one iPad to my new one? Photos are easy my music is the pain. iTunes won't
See my music. I dislike putting a ton of CDs all over again when I did it once. I would like to empty
My old one to give it to is relative and I need my songs.

I'm sorry but I still do not understand what you are saying.
The songs are playable in the music app, so there's no problem there. You didn't download the songs using iTunes on the iPad, you synced the songs from iTunes - that is the way I read your statement.
iTunes on the iPad doesn't see the songs? This is what doesn't make sense to me. Why would iTunes need to see the songs. The songs are in the music app. There is no need for iTunes to see the songs. You imported the songs from CD into iTunes - correct? The songs are in your iTunes library on the computer. Once again, there is no need for iTunes on the iPad to see the songs.
Are you talking about iTunes Match? If not, why does iTunes need to see the songs? The songs are in the Music app.

Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Any attempts to sync the iDevice on the new computer without doing this will wipe the device and replace the existing contents with contents from the new, blank library.
iDevices are not storage devices, they are merely mirrors of the content in iTunes.

How do I transfer my Playlist from my old computer to my new one?

I have a new computer. But all my playlist are on my old computer. Although I have authorized this new computer, and the music is there, the playlist are not.

These are two possible approaches that should work.
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.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.

How do I transfer my library from an old computer to a new one?

I am looking for help to transfer my itunes libraries to a new computer and I don't know how?! Anyone??
Thanks in advance

If you want to do it via Home Sharing, playlist information won't come across, but we should be able to get the content to be transferred across.
First, make sure you've got the home share set up on both computers, as per the following document:
iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer
Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.

How can I transfer my itunes from an old computer to my new one?

I'm trying to get my itunes off of a gate way to my Sony Vaio E- series. how can I go about doing this?

Or, if you don't have an external hard drive, then (IF YOU HAVE ALL YOUR MEDIA FROM ITUNES ON YOUR IPOD) you could use this to get the media off you pod to your new computer!
I would recomend an external drive anyway, that way everything is backed up!

I recently brought a new HP laptop and I downloaded the newly updated iTunes on it; however I have an old Aver laptop with iTunes version 10.7 on it or the one before iTunes 11 came out. How can I transfer my movies from the old version to the new one?

I recently brought a new HP laptop and downloaded iTunes 11 on it. My old laptop which is a Acer has iTunes version 10.7, I believe. I wanted to know, How can I transfer 18 movies from the old iTunes onto my new Itunes? It only shows the most recent two movies when I look at the purchases in my account. I had a lot of moves downloaded last year from the old version and would like some assistance on how to get all those movies into my iTunes 11 library. Thank you.

you should starting with copying the iTunes folder from your old laptop to the new one.
the iTunes folder is in your user profile Music folder.
it should go to the same location on the new laptop.
Provided that you have your media, music and movies in the default location, and you sign in to your apple ID and authorize your new computer (all in iTunes)
you should have all intact.
Post if any problems.
