I got a new computer but my itunes is still on my old computer.  how do i move my itunes to my new computer and get it off of my old computer

I now have my daughter's old laptop computer.  She had her itunes account on it previously and now has her music libraries, etc. on her new laptop.  I just uploaded itunes to her old computer so I can put my own music on the computer.  But itunes still shows my daughters 2 apple devices on the old laptop - her iphone and her ipod.  How can I put my devices on the old laptop and make sure I don't mess up her devices that she syncs, etc. to her new computer?  I have an 'older' nano that I put music on years ago using a laptop (that no longer works) that I'm trying to put more music on.  I also just got an ipad so am using my new apple account now (I can't even remember my old account information).

Hi BeckyNJ,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I found the following information that may help you transfer your iTunes library from your previous computer to this new one:

You mentioned wanting to sync an older iPod nano with multiple computers. To do so, you may find the following information helpful:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
Regarding your previous iTunes / Apple ID account that you lost track of, we have a very helpful tool in attempting to recover that information:

I know that is a lot to hit you with at once, but I hope it was helpful!
Thanks,

    Does the iPod show up in iTunes on the Mac? If not try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    also
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Otherwise what happens when you try to sync? Note that you can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. If that is the problem you should go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase and content and setting and set up the iPod on you computer/iTunes library. One content on the iPod does not belong to you.

  • How do I move my iTunes account to a new computer?

    Recently bought a Mac, my itunes account is on our laptop. How can I move that account to our Mac? I've authorized both computers to share info and have downloaded all the info from our laptop to a 'time capsule'.
    In the end I want to juist log into itunes on the Mac and have all my info there for my music and be able to sync my iphone without having to take a bunch of different steps to look up the info.
    Please Help!!

    Copy everything from the old computer to the new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you or you can call Apple support and they will help you.
    You can also type "move itunes library" ot "move itunes library from pc to mac" into the google search bar.
    If the old cpomputer was a Mac, then use migration assistant to move everything over, or copy the entire itunes folder from old Mac to new Mac.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Connect an external disk, go to My Music folder and copy iTunes folder to your external disk. Then, connect the external drive to your new computer, copy iTunes to My Music and open iTunes. If your library doesn't appear after opening the application, open iTunes holding Shift key and go to the folder with your library

  • HT1473 How can I move my iTunes software from one computer to another?

    I purchased a new PC.  I tried copying my iTunes software to the new computer, but it wouldn't open.  So I downloaded a new copy of iTunes to the new computer.  When I tried to sync my iPhone to the new iTunes, it wouldn't allow me to put the music on my iPhone into the iTunes library because my new PC wasn't "Authorized".
    How to I move the iTunes software from my old PC to the new PC so I won't have this sync problem?

    See this migrate iTunes library post for moving your library across.
    You don't generally copy installed programs, but rather use their installers on each machine.
    You can authorize the new computer from the Store menu. The menu bar is initially hidden but can be revealed with CTRL+B.

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

I have purchased a new laptop with Windows 8, how do I move my itunes account from my old laptop to my new one.. not very PC literate unfortunately so I would appreciate simple instructions..

    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
