New Macbook how do I transfer my songs?

Had Powerbook G$, Dad bought me MacBook. How canI transfer iTunes music to new computer?
Thanks

If you still have access to the PowerBook, click here and perform the procedure, or connect both machines with a FireWire cable, restart the PowerBook with the T key held down, open the Users folder on the PowerBook's hard disk, locate the iTunes library, which is in the Music folder of your account's home folder, and move it to the MacBook, either by dragging it to the desktop or into iTunes. In the first case, move the migrated folder to the location of the existing iTunes library on the MacBook while iTunes isn't running, and move or overwrite the existing folder as desired.

    You can't do this directly from iTunes, but there is a variety of thirdparty software available. Just use Google.

    Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • I have an older Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer these songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available

    I have an oder Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer ths songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available?

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

    Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
    For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:

    Are you sure of that?  Check in the Library.  Click on the Apps icon to see all apps.  Similarly click on the Music icon to see the songs.

    how can i transfer hindi songs from laptop (window ultimate) to new ipad ? pl. help

    If you haven't already done so then download and install iTunes : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Add the songs into your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library
    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Music - if you select that tab you can then select which of your iTunes music to sync to the iPad (it should sync to the Music app on the iPad).
