Copy your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one. If you no longer have the old one copy the backup that you made of your important files from the old computer to the new one; this should include the old iTunes library. Do this while iTunes is not running.

I want my iTunes library to be saved and stored in my music documents in my laptop like they would be if you bought the songs but how do I get iTunes to do this?
Hi kirstynugent,
If you are having issues moving the musing in your iTunes Library from your old computer to your new computer and making sure that it is located correctly, you may find the following article helpful:

My previous laptop has broken and I want to copy my tunes from my ipod classic to me new laptop, how do I do that, each guide I've read refers to needing the old laptop which isn't an option?
You are not going to be able to recover the music from your iPod to you new laptop.
It doesn't work that way. It only move music from you iOS device to your computer.
You can download what you purchased from Apple. Anything else is lost.
Hence the reason we are always harping on backups.

I loaded music on my nano with my old laptop. now using a new laptop and want to load music on my nano but it wants to delete all song. How can I load new music frmo new laptop onto my nano and keep existing songs?
Import the music on the external HD into iTunes. If you don't want iTunes to make a new copy of each track that is stored in your iTunes Media folder on your PC's internal HD, make sure the Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library option is NOT ticked from under the Advanced tab of iTunes Preferences. Just remember that if you go this route, you'll always need to have your external HD plugged in before you start up iTunes.

I have all my music on my ipod but I can't get that music onto my new laptop , how do I do that?
At a guess you followed the process in HT1364 - iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder which would have moved the media folder to a new path of your choice. This process leaves the library database files back in the original location of <User's Music>\iTunes. Often people assume that all they need is now on the external drive and wipe the internal drive, or discard their old computer, before backing up the all important iTunes folder. If you have a backup of your user's profile folder from before the upgrade the iTunes library folder should be in there somewhere. Restore it to <User's Music> and your original library should pop back into existence. The external drive would need to have the same drive letter that it had previously.
A more effective way to relocate the library is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive, then hold down shift when starting iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. You would then choose the file iTunes Library.itl in the iTunes folder on the external drive. If this is the way you moved the library before then that is how you should now reconnect to it. Changing the media folder in preferences doesn't change which .itl database file is opened, nor does double-clicking on an .itl file directly.
If you no longer have the original .itl file then you will have to build a new library and import the media to it. If you need to do this I would recommend you create a new library at F:\iTunes, then move your existing media folders inside F:\iTunes\iTunes Media before importing. This will avoid the creation of duplicates and make sure the library is in the correct shape going forwards.
If you have an iPod or iOS device my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover ratings, play counts & playlists from the device.
When you've fixed up your libray you should consider getting a second external drive to backup to.

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 -

New laptop - can't get I-tunes to recognise tune files on hard drive?
Hello. My old sony vaio crashed. I had previously backed up all the music files from I-Tunes onto ext hard drive. Now I have new laptop, loaded I-Tunes and copied all the tunes back from the ext hard drive onto the new laptop. Trouble is I-Tunes won't see 'em, keeps saying something about my library being registered on another machine (guess it's my defunct one?). So is there a way I can get I-Tunes on the new laptop to see the music files I've dragged back from the ext hard drive. I did not back up any other files, system type things - just the tunes. Hope that makes sense and look forward to replies. Cheers - Snoopdougydoug
