New laptop and ipod help?

Question

hello. i got a new laptop for school and all my itunes music is on my old computer. my old computer doesnt have a cd burner so i cant put my music on a cd and transfer it to my new computer so how do i do it? i have a lot of songs that i dont want to lose. thanks

Answer 1

If you do not have a cd burner i would suggest getting a usb memory stick. You stick it into your old computer, trasnfer the songs to it via itunes or by just dragging the songs onto it from your "music" folder. Then after ejecting it stick it into your laptop and transfer it. If your just going to be using it to transfer music i would get a 1 gb and those can run fairly cheap. You will have to do this more than once unless you have less than 1 gb of memory.

If you have a apple computer you may have to get a specific usb memory stick. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

yeah the songs will not be transferred from your iPod to your new laptop. instead, there will be a popup that will tell you to either sync it with your new computer's library (which is empty).

so use a usb drive and just transfer the songs over to your new computer, put them in your My Music folder, and then open up itunes, go to File>>Add folder to library>>select your My Music folder.

there you go.

glad to help.

your old computer should have a usb port no matter how old... and usb drives dont cost too much these days plus they're useful so get one if you dont own one already...
