How to transfer iTunes music from old computer to new laptop

I just got a new laptop and I want to know if its possible to transfer my music from my old computer to my new laptop. I have already bought so much music, and I don't think I should be required to buy it again. How do I transfer the music to my new laptop from my old computer?

  • 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 my music from old computer to new computer

    I would liketo use home sharing to transfer all my music from itunes on my old computer to itunes on my new one. I have followed the steps for home sharing but my old itunes library will not show up in the side menu on my new computer. Both are windows computers

    Does the old hard drive still work? You can buy an external hard drive case and transfer data to your new Macbook Pro and recover your itunes libary. As far as i'm aware, Apple have not created software or allow you to move music from ipod to Mac.

  • How to Transfer iTunes content from old computer to new

    I have a new Windows 7 computer. I downloaded iTunes and now I want to transfer all my content from my old Windows Vista notebook to the new computer.
    How do I do it? I don't see any import/transfer solution.
    Thanks

    Because there is nothing in iTunes to deal with this, no need to be.
    Use the Windows Easy File Transfer utility to move all your data.
    Or simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • How to transfer '06 imovie from old computer to new laptop

    Hi! First time on the forum.
    My mac desktop came with imovie 06HD. I LOVE it and have complete many projects. I have also added quite a few plugins as well.
    I got my first laptop this Christmas with imovie '09.
    Very simply, I've been using '06 for too many years to give it up and teach this old dog new tricks. I'd like to put a copy of '06 on my laptop. Is that possible? If so, what do I do. Please spoon feed this information to me. I know just enough about computers to mess them up!

    Wow! I didn't know you could do that! While searching the internet, it seem like everyone is searching for disks to install. I thought that maybe I could move imovie to an external hard drive, then to the new mac.
    Ok, now for my "stupid" questions. If I hook up my computers with a firewire, and I move imovie 6 over to the new computer, will I still have it on my old desktop? Am I sharing it with my new computer, or completely transferring. I'd like to have a copy on both computers if possible.

  • How to transfer icloud data from old computer to new computer

    how to transfer icloud data from old computer to new computer

    The iCloud data will be on the new computer as soon as you download the iCloud control panel and sign into iCloud with your iCloud ID. What you see in iCloud is stored in iCloud, so it really doesn't matter what computer you are on. Once that computer is signed onto iCloud and the iCloud options are selected, you have full access to all of that information, and much of it is pushed back to your computer.
    If you are referring to the data in an iCloud backup created by an iOS device, then that is not something that would be on a computer at all.
    Does that answer your question? If not, post back with more info about what you are looking to find out.

  • Need help transferring itunes library from old computer to new laptop

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a new laptop and am having trouble getting my library to transfer to my new laptop, i followed this step by step process http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US and in the end ended up with no music on my ipod and no music in the itunes library on my new computer...
    So then i went into Itunes on the new computer and clicked import library under File, so i found the Music folder that i had transferred over and it imported the music but all my playlist were not there, just songs. So i ended up syncing my ipod back to my old computer so i would get all the songs and playlist back on as it was originally before this whole process...
    My desktop runs XP while my new laptop runs Vista Ultimate w/ SP1 home edition, dont know if this matters...
    So not sure where i should go from here, i have already Authorized my laptop with the itunes store , i was thinking of uninstalling Itunes on my laptop and starting over from scratch, will this help?
    BTW when i did the original transfer i used my Ipod as the hard drive as it had plenty of storage room left on it, i do have access to a 250GB external HD i was thinking of using that and trying that to transfer the library...
    So if anyone can tell me how to transfer my Itunes library from old comp to new laptop it would be greatly appreciated...

    The method you used should work if followed exactly.
    The key points are - is your music all together? It must all be in the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder.
    When you copy the iTunes folder to the iPod you get the library database with your playlists and the iTunes Music folder containing the music files.
    Since you had trouble doing this with the iPod, why not try copying your iTunes folder to the external drive.
    The method is identical the one for the iPod except you leave out the iPod specific stuff.
    You install iTunes on the new PC, then you drag the newly created iTunes folder out the Music folder to the desktop, then you copy the iTunes folder from the EHD into Music, replacing the one you dragged out.
    When you have done that, you need to check that your account has full control of your iTunes folder - Vista is fussy about that - you will not be able to edit track info if you don't have full control.
    Vista file folder permissions help

  • Using Home Sharing to transfer itunes library from old computer to new but connection keeps timing out...anyone have a solution?

    Hello everyone,
    I am attempting to use Home Sharing to import my itunes library from my old computer to new (as per instructions on this site), but the connection keeps "timing out" and so the import gets cut short.
    Both computers have the new itunes (I updated them last night), but only seem to get about 5 minutes (or 100 songs in) before the connection error occurs.
    I have an external hard drive and would use it to transfer my library (which is ~45GB) however my old computer isn't recognizing the hard drive so I thought Home Sharing was a good option...perhaps I was wrong?
    Help Please!
    Thanks

    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 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.
