I have a new pc, and want to transfer my itunes library, help me?

I got a new computer today, it upgrades and old laptop that I'm currently running itunes off. its connected to the new computer by a wireless network, but I cna figure out how to rtansfer my library. I'm not a computer whiz, but I dont know what to do, any help would be MOST appreciated.
thanks!

Apple covers how to do this with an iPod here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
If you do not have an iPod and have an external Hard Drive you can still follow most the steps there to transfer your iTunes to your PC, just replace the words/steps for iPOd with "External Harddrive"
Wireless isn't that heavly recommended for this because of how wireless can suddenly drop signal, but you can just copy the whole iTunes folder and send it over to the new PC over your network. Keep in mind tho any music you have outside the iTUnes folder will not transfer over and will show up in iTunes on the new PC with a ! mark beside it

  • I have a new imac and want to transfer my itunes from a pc

    hi,
    I just bought my first mini mac.  I been using a HP with windows 7.  I want to transfer my itunes on my mini mac.  How can I do this without the need of my iphone to transfer.
    Thank you,
    Debbie

    Organize the library, right-click any song in iTunes, show it in the Windows Explorer, navigate up to the iTunes folder, and move that folder over as you would any other. Alternatively, the Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant can migrate all your user data into a newly-created user account.
    The Mac will need to be separately authorized to play protected content, and any movies rented on the PC won't play on the Mac.

  • I have a new computer and want to move my Itunes libriarys to this new PC.  How do I do this .

    I have a new computer and want to move my Itunes libriarys to this new PC.  How do I do this?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • I have a new laptop and need to sync my itune library with it ... how do i do this ?

    I have not backed up my itune library from previous laptop and have a new laptop. Got a new iphone which has all my music but since i bought a new laptop and want to sync my music on iphone with my new lapotp... how do I do this ?

    the proper way is to transfer your itunes library from the old laptop and resync your iPhone to the new computer.
    It will erase the iPhone and load it again from the new laptop.
    If you do not have access to your old laptop and the iTunes library...
    well there are ways of getting things off iPhone but you need to google for third party software to do it.

  • I have a used imac and want to add my itunes library from my i pad

    Can i add my itunes library from my ipad to a used imac?

    It is best to add your music from your original computer that music came from. Copy the folder from your old computer to your new one and add the songs to iTunes.
    It is possible however to do it without your old computer. You will have to rely on 3rd party software like MusicRescue or Senuti. Many people frown on this method as it could easily lead to piracy (as so many other things can in this world...)

  • HT1329 I have imported music files on my iPod Classic which I don't have on my old PC as it had less capacity than the iPod. I now have a new PC and want to transfer the music from the iPod to my new PC so that I have back ups. How can I do this?

    How do I move music imported from my old CD collection onto my iPod, which I did not retain on my old PC as there was not enough memory. I no longer have all the CDs so cannot import them to my new PC, so want to copy them directly off my iPod Classic to my new PC.
    How do I do that?
    Thanks

    You cannot do it (transfer song files from iPod to computer) using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download previous purchases using the iTunes Store Purchased screen).
    However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can be used to transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your new computer's hard drive, drag them (or the folder containing the files) to the iTunes window to add them to your new computer's iTunes library.

    I want to transfer my entire music library from one computer to another without using a usb drive or cds. How can i transfer the music without using either a cd or a usb?

    You need to use a 3rd party utility such as Touchcopy - this will allow you to rebuild your library on the computer from the iPhone.
