New computer - can't transfer old itunes, problems importing cd's

Sorry the subjec area has multiple topics, but i've got issues. Long story short: computer completely broke. Can't even view screen to try and restore anything or remove programs. Now have HP dv6000. Since I can't move old itunes acct over to new computer, I've resorted to importing all my cd's again. For some reason, some cd's don't even come up when i put them in the drive. No message, no warning - nothing. I insert the cd and it just spins and spins. Is this an itunes issue or a HP issue? Is it because some cd's don't allow you to copy to more than one computer?
Any suggestions?

You should probably post in the itunes forum, since it appears your question has little or nothing to do with ipods.
Where is your back up? Did you not maintain a back up of your music/pics/docs/etc?
You can copy a cd on as many computers as you like. Your problem is very likely not an itunes issue.

Need to transfer old itunes from old PC to new PC

How difficult will that be??

Just backup to an external drive the directory (or directories) containing your current computer's iTunes music, then copy them onto your new computer and tell its iTunes to load them (Files > Add Folder to Library). If you have any purchases on your device that aren't in your iTunes library, then you should probably copy them first (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848)
There is more info on copying between computers in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1727

I have itunes folder on Sony Vaio that has died. It has home sharing enabled.I need to transfer the library onto this new computer.I have i cloud but want the muin folder transferred to this computer. I have part of my i tunes folder on 2 back up drives.

I have itunes folder on Sony Vaio that is seriously unwell. I can start up in safe mode but that's all. It has home sharing enabled.I need to transfer the library onto this new computer before it completely gives up the ghost.I have i cloud but want the main folder transferred to this computer. I have part of my i tunes folder on 2 back up drives.
Can anyone help please

If the computer only starts in safte mode, it is highly unlikely that network functionality works.
Copy or move the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and any other personal data you want) to an external drive.

you're not reading correctly. try again:
However, if you’ve already added music, you won’t be able to merge the libraries; in the iTunes Media folder, found in the iTunes folder, move the Music folder to your desktop and add those files into iTunes after you’ve completed this process. (Note that you’ll lose any playlists, play counts, and the like associated with those files, however.)
the important passage is
since iTunes uses the same file format for both Mac and Windows, the program will be able to read your iTunes Library file and it will show your music, videos, podcasts, and so on with playlists, ratings, play counts, and the like.

HT4796 I need to transfer my iTunes library, email and a few clean files from my PC to my new Mac. I was about to use the Migration Assistant, however I am concerned that viruses on my PC will tag along. Should I be concerned?

No.

How can you tell how much space is being used up by your iTunes...I am trying to figure out how much space I will need to transfer my iTunes library to an iPod and which iPod to select?

Start up iTunes, and select Music, then click Songs.
Down at the bottom of the iTunes window, it will tell you how much space your library occupies.

Help. Stolen Old Computer, need to transfer to new computer!

I cannot get my library from my old computer to my new computer. My old account says:
"One computer is authorized to play music from Itunes, blah, blah."
How do I change it. My old computer was stolen. It's gone. I need to transfer ALL the music I have on my Ipod into a library on my new computer. Some downloaded or bought from Itunes, some copied from my CD library.
How do I do it? All the help crap starts with "access your old library from your old computer" Impossible for me.
Everything is still on my Ipod. It seems I should be able to just transfer it. ESPECIALLY the stuff I BOUGHT from Itunes.

Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes, provide the username and password associated with the iTunes Store account used to purchase that music, connect the iPod to your computer, and choose Transfer Purchases in the dialog box that appears. This method only works with content from the iTunes Store.

Itunes won't sync old Itunes onto new computer.

I just got a new computer and installed Itunes and signed in. My library had nothing there. I authorized the computer, and deauthorized my old computer. I plugged my ipod into my new computer, and it recognized it, but didn't update my empty library. I clicked on "On This Ipod" and all my music from my old library was there. I looked at the summary of syncing at the music section, and it will empty my ipod completely and put my empty library on my ipod, and I do not want that. My question is, how do I get my old library onto my new computer?

when I click my iphone, everything is blank.
Do you mean there's no text in the summary pages?

Hi, I have purchased a new film from iTunes but I cannot download it as i don't have enough room. I have other films that I need to transfer to icloud before I can download the new one but don't know how to do this.

You should be able to re download the book on your iPad.
Try here > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
On your iPad tap Settings > iTunes & App Store
Swipe down and make sure Books is switched ON.
Purchased books should appear when tapping the iBooks icon now.
