How do you put your iTunes on a different computer

I have iTunes for our iPhones, iShuffle and iPad 2 which I have, my computer is on it's last leg and I have bought a new computer my question is how do I switch everything over to the new computer with loosing everything I have bought for our system. My son has Austim and is non-verbal and one of the programs is how he talks I want to nake sure I do not mess that up. Thank you

Copy the songs onto an external hard drive or a USB flash drive. From their copy them to each new computer. Once they are there, add them to the library on each new computer. If the music contains any "protected" files from the iTunes Store, authorize each laptop to the account(s) from which the songs were originally purchased.

HT1202 I want to put the songs onto an Ipad from my Itunes??? HELP

I want to put the songs onto my niece's Ipad from my Itunes... but when i plug the ipad into the computer it says I need to select one of the following 'set up as new ipad' or 'resore from this back up :rachels iphone' .. but i dont want to erase anything, i just want to transfer some songs over????

You can't sync with more than one iTunes library. You will have to enable Manually Manage Music and videos in the iTunes settings and then you can drag and drop the songs onto her iPad. This also requires that you turn of auto syncing in iTunes.
Without connecting the iPad launch iTunes and from the menu go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Check that box. Click OK.
Now connect the iPad to the computer and you will have to launch iTunes on your own. Click on the iPad name under the devices heading. If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu and you should see her iPad under the devices heading. Go to the Summary Window on the righ and click on Manually Manage Music and Videos. Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
Now you should be able to drag and drop songs onto her iPad.

This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

Commercial software utility for transferring songs from i-device to Mac - http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - just media purchased from iTunes Store
You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that. iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

I am interested in purchasing a new PC and wanted to transfer all of the music on my Itunes onto my new computer's Itunes the easiest was possible. Any suggestions?

These are two possible approaches that should work to move the existing library to the new laptop.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
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 are reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your library or a backup of it then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Want to put pages 06 onto eMac (OS 10.3.9)

Hi,
Want to put Pages 06 onto my eMac. As it only has a CDRW drive and Pages is on DVD I realise there are other ways to achieve this. One would be via 'File Sharing' using my MacBook Pro but I can't find any clear instructions how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I recognise FW as firewire but what is TDM?
Sorry about the short-cut. I usually spell it out first then use the short-cut. However, since I was responding to Little Shoulder,and he had mentioned it, I erred. Firewire Target Disk Mode allows you to network two Macs that support firewire. In this case I am suggesting that you connect the two computers via a firewire cable. Some MBPs have FW 400 and FW 800. I think yours has only a FW 400 port, which makes it easier than if you had only FW 800.
Start up the MBP and the boot the eMac into FW-TDM. A firewire drive should show up on the desktop of the MBP. I am not sure if you need to install Pages from the DVD or from the MBP installation. If you need to do it from disk, insert the disk the use Pacifist to extract it and install it on the eMac.
Please do post back if you have further questions.

You don't "register" it.

When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically import old music files? Last time I got a new computer I didn't have to use an external drive to update my music library.

When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically important songs from your previous computer? I recently cracked the screen on my computer and cannot access any files. Last time I got a new computer my iTunes media files automatically appeared in my iTunes when I downloaded it, and I did not have to use my external drive. Is this still possible?

If your backup copy of the old computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.

How do I put 2 iTunes libraries on 1 computer

I have two people using one computer. How can I put 2 iTunes libraries on one computer?

My husband and I each have our own iTunes accounts/libraries on the same computer. The way we accomplished this was by having separate user logins/profiles on the computer (set up from control panel) and then when setting up the iTunes libraries, ensured that we each used our own devices in our own logins/profiles.
There is probably a way of doing this using just 1 user profile, but this was the cleanest and more straightforward way for us and it works wonders!
FYI- it does use more memory space having multiple profiles on the computer, but it was worth it for us.
Hope this helps!
