Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a abckup copy, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your computer: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

If you only copy your Files you will lose your favorites. The best Way to copy your Library to the New Computer is to Export your libery (you can find the Export in the menue). This will copy your Wohle Library on cd. If you Out in These cd's in your new Computer iTunes will copy it with all informations.
While that may work, it is extremely time consuming and unnecessary.
Copying the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer will keep the library intact.

- To transfer other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup

Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer to move iTunes content.
As for pictures, copy them from where there are on the old computer to the new computer... this has nothing to do with iTunes.
Alternatively, if both computers are Windows based, use the Windows Easy File Transfer Utility to move everything.

New computer How do i transfer songs

i just got a new Hp Media center computer. how do i transfer all the songs from the computer i am currently using to the new one?
i have about 3gb of music
thanks

There are a couple of ways. I would recommend firewire to connect the two computers and transfer the songs. Or, you could get a external hard drive ($$) and just pop them on the new computer. You could also take the long way and put the songs on CD and then load them onto the computer. If you dont have a firewire you can get them pretty much anywhere (staples, best buy, apple) and then you just connect them. pretty simple, hope i helped.

HT1386 I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video). My computer crashed and itunes was no loner accessible on it. On my new computer, how do I transfer the music from my iPod to the library in iTunes that is on my new computer?

I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video) that I had connected to my computer with iTunes. That computer crashed and the only place my music is stored is on my iPod. How do I move that music to the iTunes program (version 8) on my new computer. When I connect my iPod to my new computer the music shows up in my iPod's music directory but I can't move it to the library.

I have new computer, how do I transfer my old library over , thought Homesharing would work but I cant figure out how to transfer. Thanks

I have a new laptop and have installed iTunes. How do I transfer my library from my old computer over? I thought Homesharing would do it but I cant figure it out. I got to the point of it showing that I have homesharing on each computer but how do I download the old into the new? Thanks

I tried this with apps and it worked flawlessly!!
You can do the same with music, playlists etc
I did it on Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
You should have same Itunes version on both systems!!
Here are the methods to follow:
Just for safety, on your new PC go to Edit > Preferences > Devices - and check "Prevent Ipods, Iphones and Ipad from syncing automatically.
From your old computer,
1) Open itunes
2) Go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced
3) here you may see a location under heading "itunes media folder location"
4) Go to that location and open "mobile applications" folder. Copy the entire files/apps inside it and paste it to any removable device supporting the size.
On your new computer:
a) Repeat steps 1 to 3.
b) Go to the location you have found in your new computer. You'll find same folders. Now, copy apps/files from your removable device to "Automatically Add to Itunes folder" DO NOT COPY it in Mobile applications folder because it won't sync that way!
This completely restored all my apps that I had to transfer from my PC to laptop!! You can try to do same with music... This should work!
HOPE THIS HELPS!

Just bought a new computer. How do I transfer my itunes to new machine. Only my apps and some music will transfer but cds I put on will not transfer.

Hi,
If you are using the iTunes command File>Transfer Purchases from iPod, only purchased music is transferred to iTunes from your iPod.
Hope this helps!

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.

New computer: How do I transfer content to new computer?

Hi,
My MacBook Pro got stolen about 5 days ago... I just got a new one and restored my files from a Time Machine backup that I did 30 days ago.
On my iPhone I keep a "Recently Added" playlist that goes back to 4 weeks, where all the new music that I've purchased/imported to iTunes in the last 30 days is - the exact music which is not in my Time Machine backup....
How do I transfer those songs back to my computer? I guess this also applies to contacts/applications, which would be cool to have back!

You'll find details in on copying purchases to your computer in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to the iPod and iPhone. However there are a few third party utilities that are advertised as iPhone and iPod Touch compatible which can be used to retrieve the music files and playlists etc. Have a look at the web sites and help pages for these ones and see what you think or check the web for reviews:
Senuti Mac Only (Currently only the beta version is iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
