Just bought a new computer--how do I transfer itunes to the new computer?

Just bought a new computer(windows 7).  How do I transfer itunes to windows 7 from windows xp?

You don't have to transfer from your iphone5 to itunes on your computer.
Log into itunes store on your computer using the same appleId you used to purchase those music, go to music library, and you should see all your previously purchased music with a cloud and down arrow symbol next to them.
Click on the cloud, and that song will be downloaded to your computer. Try to look around to see if there's any way to do all downloads at one command.
You should also go back to your old computer and deauthorize that computer from your itunes account, then authorize your new computer as one of the 5 allowed to playback itunes content.
The behavior of itunes may have changed with recent updates. In the past, when I plugged in my iphone to a new computer, I do remember being asked by itunes if I wanted to transfer purchases over. Give it a try and see what happens.
But whatever you do, if your current itunes library is still empty, DO NOT say yes to sync with iphone. It would wipe out your itunes library on your iphone because you would be syncing a blank libary over to the iphone. Sync iphone with your computer itunes library only after the computer's library has more content than your iphone's library. That's just to play it safe.

    Connect the iphone to your computer using a USB cable, sync pics to it (on a mac, use iphoto to sync to), then sync from computer to new ipad.

  • How do i transfer itunes to a new pc?

    How do I transfer iTunes to a new pc?  All of my music files are on an external drive.

    a) are you transfering from the ipod to the new computer, or through a hard drive? I am not getting the question.
    If you are using the ipod use a program called ipod to folder to extract the music.
    b) make sure you use your old itunes account from your old computer and not a new one.

  • I just bought a hp laptop trying to get my itunes from my old computer can someone help me

    i am trying to get my itunes library i just bought a HP laptop and I cannot get it i plugged in my ipod but having issues

    Please use periods at the end of sentences, so that your writing is easier to understand... 
    Do you have access to your old computer with its iTunes library intact?  Ideally, you should transfer your complete iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.  Then, iTunes on the new computer will look like iTunes on the old computer, with all of your songs, playlists, etc.  If you can do it that way, please post back for more info.
    Otherwise, you will need to off-load song files from the iPod...

  • New laptop, how do I transfer iTunes and library from other computer?

    I still have the original disk to install iTunes, but it won't install properly. My biggest worry is that I'm going to have to re-download all of my songs once I get iTunes onto my new commputer. Can someone tell me how I can transfer everything over, or if it's even possible?

    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). Everything has to be exactly the same on the new computer including the Windows user account name. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
    You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
    If you have an iPod it can be used as an external drive and you can move the iTunes folder onto it: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • I purchased a new computer and after setting up iTunes with the new computer, the majority of my previously bought songs appeared, except for one album. How do I recover this album without having to repurchase it?

    Can anyone help me in trying to recover this album? I don't want to have to repurchase it because I already paid for it once.

    One way is to restore from backup. The other way is to use iTunes on your old computer to burn a hard copy of the album (ie, make a audio CD.) Then import the songs to your new computer.

    I bought a new laptop.  How do i transfer my itunes to this new computer with an external hard drive?

    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.
