How do you transfer songs from one iTunes on one computer, to a different one on a different computer?

Question

I just bought a new laptop and I need to transfer my songs from my old computer to the new laptop. My old computer has no CD burner. Also, I've tried copying and pasting my songs onto a flash drive, then copying and pasting them to my hard drive, then importing them to my iTunes. That doesn't work either. Will someone please help??

Answer 1

rather than copy and paste to your new puter, just do an add to library(in itunes). not import. i do this all the time when my husband gets a song on his winxp pc and i want it on my mac.

Answer 2

after u copy and paste them on the laptop. try playing it.... u shld get a pop up tht says .. ur library is not authorised to play this song. then u have to login ur itune account to authorize the new laptop.... or...

if u have interest connect for both pcs... change ur file sharing settings in itunes or the pcs and u shld a display name of folder in on ur pc on the laptop...

Answer 3

You must authorize the computers with the same account. To do this go to advanced and authorize.

Answer 4

i had to burn all of my songs onto a disk and then rip it onto the different laptop. you could acquire itunes onto your new laptop and make a clean account however the only thank you to maintain all your songs is to place them on a disk.
