So.. I have a new laptop, how do i transfer all the stuff i previously bought on itunes onto this machine?

(For a PC) Normally just grab the itunes folder and it’s contents from the “my music” directory in “my documents”. Install itunes on the new machine and then replace the directory it created (“my docs\music\itunes”) with the one from the old machine.

hmm, but i already have some new stuff on the new machine, is there some way of doing it through itunes?

dunno, I try to avoid it, cause it just a bit poo – I only use it cause of my iphone.
(Yes it works, but it’s seemingly overly compicated for no good reason)
Try the apple forums?

Various ways are well explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

ah, sorted, just needed to add the new folders to the library
