iTunes Help

[Darman]

does anybody know how to get my iTunes library from my old computer onto my new laptop easily? i also heard that if i bought songs from the iTunes store they wouldn't transfer. i dunno if thats true though.

any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Best bet would be to make a playlist from your old itunes library that holds every or as many songs in your old library as possible and transfer it to your ipod (that is if you have one.) Then place that playlist from the ipod onto your laptop's itunes library.

ok, i can try that. but for some reason i didnt think it was possible to transfer music from an ipod to itunes?

...maybe it is.

You should be able to hook your iPod up to at least 3 computers I think it is. Plus, if you made backups of your library, it should be simple to transfer your music over. If not, hook up the iPod and synch it.

For me it's 5 computers though I do have one of the original ipods so I don't know if they've changed things with the newer models. I finally managed to authorize my ipod to transfer files to the laptop I'm currently using it shouldn't be to difficult to do the same DARMAN I didn't even know the password I had to use to authorize it but changing the password is relatively easy.

i'll try syncing my ipod to my new itunes, and see if it works.

You could also just use an external hard drive or if you've not got all that much music a flash drive to transfer the songs...

Make your old PC into a server and partition the old files onto a virtual computer. Then access the music at any time.

Thats how you do it, there are no other options. :CStern:

i authorized my new computer through itunes, but it only transfered my purchased songs from my ipod. so, i guess im going to put the rest of my music on a flash drive and copy it over

I doubt you even know how to do that.

And Darman, don't buy music. Solves this problem before it even rears its ugly head :p
