From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
Also... Have a look at these 2 Videos...

  • I have just got a new Macbook Pro and am trying to sync with my iPhone. Everything is working except I can't get my Audible Downloads it is saying they are not authorised to play on this computer. Any suggestions?

    I have just got a new mac book pro. When I synced my iphone 4s with it my audible book files were deleted from my phone though they are on the computer still. A pop up said my iphone was not authorised to play on this computer. Everything else is there just not my audio books from Audible. I'm half way through a book, what do I do?

    The iphone is not a backup device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • I have just got a new macbook pro and am trying to sync my iTunes, however i have an old acount that i have all my music on and a new account which is set for only me which is now on my phone and the main account on my laptop. help please

    with my purchase of the new macbook pro i have been unable to upload any music from my iphone or any other details except from my pictures. I tried to set up the icloud but i am having difficulties doing so as all my music on my phone is under an old shared account and on my laptop i have a new account specifically for me which has also been newly uploaded onto my phone with the £70 voucher.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Help please!!

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?

    You don't want to do that by copying.
    Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant.  If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
    If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion

  • Just got a new macbook pro and transferred files from my old macbook. Everything is fine except my iphoto will not show photos.

    I just got a new macbook pro and transferred everything from my old macbook. My photos show up as thumbnails in iphoto, but if I click on them, a "?" pops up for all of them!

    Copy the Library over manually.
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

    Wonder if anyone can help? Have just bought a new Macbook pro and installed FCP7. I thought that I would get quicktime pro as standard but stuck with QTX. Downloaded QT7 but it won't let me install it. Says I can't do install as I already have QTX. Does FCP not come with QTpro or am I jsut being stupid. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.  B

    Daughter's homework assignment needs adobe flash plug in.  Just got my new MacBook Pro and scare to download program if it compromises the security of laptop.  What do I do in this situation?

    OS X will automatically block versions of Flash that are known to be unsafe. As long as Flash is kept up to date, it's reasonably safe. You can minimize your exposure to Flash content by installing the "ClickToFlash" or "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension. Flash elements will then load only when clicked.

    Hi,
    thanks for mail. I now tried again to activate lightroom by copying the serial number on Adobe webside/my account. Unfortunately same result: I got the following message:
    The serial number is invalid. Please try again: if the problem persist, please contact customer support.
    Unfortunately the could or would not help - only referred to this chat page.
    I have serial numbers for both version 4 and 5 and of course downloaded the latest, which is version 5.
    regards

    Hi Kaj,
         firstly this is a user to user forum so it's not our website, nevertheless I'm sure we can help you.
    Firstly, are the serial numbers you're using for the same version of Lightroom?
    If they are, then I'd suggest copying the serial numbers straight from your profile on the Adobe website to the Lightroom screen rather than retyping.  It's easy to mistype even when you're sure you're not (we've had several such instances in the past).
    Can you five us the exact wording of the error message (or a screen grab as long as it doesn't reveal the serial numbers as this a public forum)?

    I just got a used macbook pro and want to restore to factory settings....how do i do this safely?

    Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C or Option key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

  • I just got a new MacBook pro and the charger is orange and I can't turn it on but it was green before. What is the problem?

    I have a new MacBook pro that will not turn on as the battery is no longer green. It turns orange why is that ?  I have it plugged into an outlet with the charger as always and it was always green before?

    The adapter light will always turn orange when your machine is charging. It will go back to green when the battery is fully charged.
    Nothing to worry about.

  • I just got a new MacBook Pro and when creating the icons on my desktop I realized that if the title is too long it cuts if off and adds dots. For example, instead of the title stating "Graduate School Info" it will say "Gradu...fo". How do I fix it?

    When switching to my new MacBook Pro, it will not let me display the titles of the icons as it has in my other Macbooks. In my new Macbook it will either:
    a) cut off the title and inssert three dots
    For example,
    "Graduate School Info" will become "Gradua..nfo"
    OR
    b) it will cut off the word and put it underneath
    For example,
    "Publications" will become
    "Publicatio
    ns"
    I am not sure how to change the settings so that it can allow more room to display the titles of the icons/folders the way I would like them to be displayed.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
    Best,

    The best you can do is highlite a file on your Desktop. Finder>View>show view options>
    and increase your Grid Size to MAX.
