I have a question. I created an itunes account on an old windows pc. The computer has some problems and runs slowly. I can no longer get onto itunes from my old computer, Whenever I try to get on a window pops up and says something along the lines of itunes detects a problem with your audio. This is a problem because I can't remeber my password and I want to see if i can transfer it to my laptop. So the real question is can I have two itunes using the same account?

How?

Copy files that you have downloaded from itunes on your old computer to a usb drive and put them on your new laptop. then in order to play them you need to log in to your current itunes account... just click forgot password after you go to Store and Authorize Computer in iTunes 9.0, set up a new password, and voila... you have your music

you also want to after you finish transferring files go to your old desktop and Click deauthorize computer...

You can have up to 5 devices using your itunes purchases so use them wisely....

I'm soory but I'm a total Idiot when it comes too things with the internet. Anyway how I'm I going to download itunes onto a usb drive exactly. I really don't want to screw this up. I've spent way too much money on itunes to do that.

16BlueRoses i just sent you a message through youtube explaining how to add your songs to your new laptop. I hope that that helps... If not do you have any tech friends that might be able to help you?

Cool, I am going to watch this series. I have been wanting to make a server just like you are talking about for a while now.
