How to transfer music from an old computer to a new one without losing CD's that were loaded?

When I previously loaded my CD collection to my 1st laptop, I loaded it directly to iTunes. Now I have upgraded my laptop, and would like to transfer all of that music to my iTunes account on the new one. However, when I load iTunes, I only have the option to transfer the purchases made from iTunes (music only, it is not transfering the apps I purchased)
Is there a way to transfer all of my music (uploaded from my CD's) to the new computer, without having to go back and physically put each CD in the new computer & upload the songs again? Also, how do I get my purchased apps & free apps to transfer as well?
I appreciate any help.

If you still have the old laptop use iTunes on it to go to the File menu item Library > Back Up to Disc...
You can use this to create a backup copy of your entire iTunes library and load it into the iTunes on your new computer.

    The "iPod" part can really be any drive or DVD-R or whatever your can fit the library onto.

  • My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library so now how do I transfer music from my old iPod to my new one

    A little while ago my computer crashed and I lost everything, including my iTunes library except for on my iPod Shuffle. I just got a new iPod Nano for Christmas and I need to transfer the music from my old one to my new one but I can't figure out how to do this because my iTunes does not have the music that my old one does.

    I understand that.  I'm curious as to what will transfer and what won't transfer via backup.  From the research I've done, texts and voice messages won't transfer but voice messages are persistent with the provider, so I won't really lose them.  What else won't transfer?  Pictures? Safari cache (i.e. saved passwords for web sites)?  Will those transfer?

  • I just bought a new ipod shuffle, how can i transfer music from my old ipod onto the new one

    How do I transfer from my old ipod to my new ipod

    You can't transfer it directly.  If the old iPod is set to sync to your iTunes library on the computer, everything on the iPod is in your iTunes library.  Just set up the shuffle to sync from your iTunes library as desired.
    If the old iPod is set to Manually manage music, AND there are songs on the iPod that are not in your current iTunes library, please post back.

  • How can I transfer music from an old Ipod to a new one?

    I have an older Ipod and just bought an I pod touch.  How can I transfer the music from my old one to the new one?
    Thanks!

    All of your music should be in itunes on your computer.  If it is not, then put it there.
    You can then sync it to the ipod.
