How to transfer itunes music from old computer to new computer

I am sure someone has asked this question before but darned if I can find it anywhere...I have a new computer and want to transfer my music (which was loaded from CDs) from my old computer to my new one. I also want to keep my playlists that I spent time setting up. But when I plug my ipod touch into my new computer it simply asks me if I want to wipe all the music on it and replace it with what is in itunes on the new computer ie. nothing.
Help!

Quit iTunes and click over to your My Documents folder. Inside this folder, go to My Music. Inside My Music is your iTunes music folder. Now, copy this to a flash drive (if its big enough), an external hard drive, online using backup services like Mozy, or burned onto a CD-R or a DVD. You can even enable Disk Use on your iPod and move it there.
After you copy the iTunes library, disconnect whatever you used and take it to your new computer.

  • How to transfer iTunes films from old mac to new mac

    Hi,
    I think I know that I have to plug in my iPhone and deathorize the old Mac and then plug in to the new Mac, but I recall the last time I did this I lost the films I'd bought on iTunes. There's only 4 or 5 films there but I don't want to lose them - how do I transfer them?
    Thanks a lot,

    Copy it to an external drive or over a network. Any rented movies moved through these methods won't play on the new computer.
    Alternatively, connect the iPhone to the new computer and use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes. Movies rented from the old computer will transfer and play.

    Can't seem to make Migration Assistant work. Doesn't ask about or transfer files.

    I just migrated into a new MBP from an old one.
    It did not bring the music over.  Apple's instructions are to use the Home Sharing feature of iTunes.
    Open iTunes on your old Mac.  Select Home Sharing under the Advanced menu.  Sign in.  Do the same on your new computer.  Then when the library appears under Home Sharing on the left-hand panel on your new computer's iTunes, you can select all and Add To Library.
    That's what Apple says, anyway.

  • How do i transfer my music from old ipad to new ipad?

    i bought a new ipad and can't figure out how to transfer my music and videos to my new ipad.

    If they are iTunes purchases and they aren't on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to copy them from your old iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases - you can then sync them to your new iPad. If they are not iTunes purchases and you don't have them on your computer nor on a backup then you will need to find a third-party program for your computer that can copy them off your old iPad so that you can then sync them.

  • Tried to use home sharing to transfer itunes library from old pc to new -- however it only brings over the music, did not bring audiobooks- My question is do I need to delete itunes from my new pc when I redo using external hard drive

    Trying to transfer iTunes library from old windows 7 pc to new windows 8.1.  Used home sharing, but not what I wanted, I want everything on the new so I can discard the old pc -  so now all I have is my music library on new pc thru the cloud none of my Audible audiobooks came over - My question is do I need to delete iTunes off my new pc before I load it in from a external hard drive?

    You might need to make sure neither is going to sleep (System Prefs > Energy Saver)
    Also check your settings under System Prefs > Security. My sisters new laptop kept logging off due to some setting there.

  • How can I transfer itunes library from old pc to new imac?

    I just got a new iMac and am trying to transfer iTunes library from old PC (barely running) to new iMac.  I tried through Home Sharing but couldn't find how to sync.  Is it necessary to get Firewire?  Or should I sync it from my iPad?  I'd like to avoid the middleman.  Thanks!

    You cannot transfer it directly to the iPhone, but you can copy the music to the new Mac. If they are on the same network you can drag the folder containing the music from the old iMac to the desktop on the new Mac. Then on the new mac drag and drop that folder onto iTunes in the dock bar. If they are not on the same network copy the folder to a data CD on the old Mac, then put the CD in the new Mac and drag the folder from the CD to iTunes.

  • Can't get my iTunes music from old PC to new Mac through iCloud.  Can't I just log in to iCloud to see music?

    I mave iCloud set up through my new iPhone 4S.  Yesterday I got my new macbook and I can't get my iTunes to transfer to my new mac from my old PC using iCloud.  Are you supposed to be able to do this?

    From things you are saying, such as "shared folder" and having both machines on, it doesn't sound to me like you truly moved the whole iTunes collection.

    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
