Hi, I have replaced my laptop and had my itunes account on there. Does anyone know how i go about getting it on my new one - do i just plug the ipod in or visit the site and log in and it will all download - or is there something more complicated than that? thanks for any help with this!

It depends on if you still have the old laptop as to what you need to do. I'm no expert but had to muddle through this problem. On your new laptop you need to download Itunes. When you log in to your account if I remember correctly the only tunes you will have in your library are the ones you purchased from the Itunes shop. However there is a method of transferring your music to your new laptop. That's where I failed as I tried to follow the instructions in Itunes help but somehow it didn't work. I ended up just starting a new library as it didn't really bother me. However once you sync your ipod to your laptop you will only have what is in your library. The library does not import from the ipod. So try and follow the instructions in itunes help. You may do better than I did. If not then at least you wont have lost anything you have purchased. I'm sure a much more professional post is about to arrive!

If you've still got your old laptop, then just transfer your entire iTunes folder from one to the other (into the same file/folder). This will keep your playcounts, added dates, ratings, playlists etc.


If not, there are various bits of software out there that will pick up everything from your iPod and transfer it over (Apple's own tools only transfer purchased songs). I've used iPodrip before although not sure if that's Mac only.

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
