How to load CDs into old mini and transfer to new mini w/o superdrive

My current mini is a 2.5Ghz Intel Core i5, running OSX 10.9.2. I did not purchase the external superdrive.
My older mini is late 2006, running OSX 10.6. It has a superdrive.
Is there a way that I can load CDs into the old mini and then transfer the music to the new mini?
Both computers are on the same home network (connected to the same router), but the only thing that I can do at present is access Quicken which is on the new computer from the old computer.
I've considered copying the iTunes Library from the old computer onto a flash drive and copying that library into the new computer but it doesn't look easy to merge libraries on the new mini.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Owen

You should run first Sofware Update and go to Mac OS X 10.9.5.
You can import then transfer as sugggested or you can RIP to the new computer using this...

You do not register the phone with the laptop. If you are using the same Apple ID on the new phone as the old, you will have no trouble. Connect the phone and you can restore from a backup of the old phone, or just sync your new phone if it is already set up, with the laptop, managing your content in iTunes.

How do I deauthorize my old computer and authorize my new one?

How do I deauthorize my old computer and authorize a new one?

If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.
Deauthorization is done the same way, except for choosing Deauthorize this Computer.

How to load files from old external hard drive to new PC

Copied files from old PC (Windows XP) to external hard drive. Purchased new PC (Windows 7). Paid technicians to transfer files from old PC to new PC. Some files were lost in the process.
Please walk me through (step by step) on how to load spicific files from an external hard drive onto my new PC.
Thanx, rp1

Click anywhere on the open desktop so that the Finder menus are displayed at the top of the screen.
Click Go > Network
Double click the Time Capsule icon, then double click the icon representing the drive to mount it on the Mac's desktop. It is named "Data" unless you have changed it
You can drag/drop files to the "Data" icon on the desktop
235 GB is going to take forever if you try to do this using wireless. If at all possible, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.
Even using Ethernet, you are probably looking at 10-12 hours for the file transfer. All bets are off with wireless only, but a guess would be several days....or even more.

TS1363 How can i update my old ipod and add my new one.

I have had an older ipod nano and i just recently got a new one. How can i add my new ipod nano to my current itunes account or do i have to have a whole new one? If i do have to have a new account how can i get my songs that i have already purchased to the new nano? I am so confused.

Connect the iPod nano to the computer the exact same way you set up the old one. You don't need to create another Apple ID, iTunes Store account, or iTunes library.

How can I unsync my old iphone and sync my new iphone to my macbook

I'm trying to unsync my old iphone 3s (I think it's that) from itunes, I have looked at itunes to see if there is a symbol to unsync, but the directions I have followed seem to show a different itunes than the one I have, I've tried to update to the newest itunes but cannot and think this might be the problem. When I plug in my new iphone 4s there is no symbol to sync either. I've tried removing music, apps and photo's from the old iphone but this still did not unsync it, there was some remaining data left and I cannot find a symbol that would allow me to completely delete all information. Could you tell me how to sync my new iphone so that I can download apps and music from itunes? thanks.

You'll have to update to 10.6.8 first, then even further if you want all options.

You can copy any purchased items that aren't already on your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy everything over to the new iPad then you can back up the old iPad by right-clicking (command-clicking on a Mac) the iPad under Devices when connected to your computer's iTunes, and you can then restore that backup onto the new iPad.
When you are happy that eveything has copied over you can log out of you account on the old iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then wipe its content via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Setings.

How can i take the pictures from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything

How can I take the pics from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything?

Pictures on an iPod are stored in a special format, optimized for the iPod's small lower resolution screen, to save storage space. iTunes puts them into that format when syncing. There is setting in iTunes, on the iPod's Photos screen (where you set up syncing of photos) for Include full resolution photos. If that checkbox was checked when you synced the photos to the iPod, THEN you can Enable disk use and find those photo files on the iPod in the Photos folder.
Otherwise, you cannot get your photos back, using iTunes. There may be third-party utilities that can extract individual photos from the iPod, but they will still be lower-resolution versions of the original photo.
