Installing itunes onto new computer with ipod

Question

I just got a laptop and can't figure how to install itunes onto my comp. from my old one. Can I do this with simply my ipod? Or could I use my (portable) usb port and download all my songs/along with i tunes? Please use english please, no fancy computer lingo.I am not a big computer wiz and find this whole system irritating. Useful help please.

Answer 1

Go to Apple.com/itunes/download. Click the big blue button that says "Download iTunes Free". It'll ask you if you want to run it or save it. Save it to your desktop, then run it. Click next, check agree and press next, click install. Let it install then check "Add icon to desktop" and "Run iTunes after install" and then click finish. iTunes will run and tada!

yeah i know what u mean. ok i had the same prob untill i bought one book because i bought a new comp. well to tell u the truth i'm not very sure about using a usb port but i'm sure it will work. here is a step to step process that u can do. ok install itunes as u did before on ur old comp. then put ur ipod in and open itunes. once u do that in the sidebar u know where ur music and other stuff is. in that sidebar it shows ur ipod u know it shows the name of ur ipod and stuff like that. well when u click it there is a pic of ur ipod. and under it it shows how u load ur music. check the box that says manually manage. this way u can load ur music without erasing the contents of ur ipod. what u do is that u add ur music as u regularly do but once it comes in ur library DON'T SYNC UR IPOD. drag the song from the library to ur ipod in that side bar i mentioned earlier. drag it to ur ipod pic. once u do that it shows on ur ipod pic in the sidebar that sync icon. after u do that to all of ur songs they will be on ur ipod without deleting any of ur previous ones u downloaded on ur old computer. if this doesn't work buy the book that is called the missing manual.
