    Hi,
    Here goes my case like this:my laptop is getting so old and I will get a new one. But the problem is my whole iTunes library with a load of music,videos is located on my old laptop. How do I do to move it to my new laptop?
    PS:I have tried different guides on net and to find useless and so complicated. I'm so sick of it and so I don't care a little paying for a program.
    Any something helpful?

    Save a copy of your iTunes folder, then copy the whole thing over to your new iTunes folder. Open iTunes, click on your library tabs (eg. Music, Movies), click on 'File' and choose 'add File to library' or 'add Folder to library'. I just used this method to transfer all my music and apps from my laptop to my new pc.

    Consolidate your iTunes library first if you haven't, this copies all your music and videos into the iTunes folder. Then just copy the iTunes folder to the new laptop to the Music folder. When you open iTunes everything should be intact.
