N00b new laptop questions!
(sorry in advance!)
Ok so I have now been able to purchase my new laptop, and am in the process of setting it up. Windows 7 so far looks very s****y, its asking me about windows easy transfer so I can get favourites and music etc off the old laptop onto the new one, has anyone used this before? Also my first n00b question is about I tunes. I have a very old ipod which is completely full and as a result my itunes holds more songs than I have on my ipod because my ipod just can't take anymore. How do I transfer all of my i-tunes over to the new computer when they aren't all on the ipod? Also I have a 30 day free trial of McAfee, but am just gonna scrap that and get my usual avast on the new one, yes? More questions will come i'm sure.  Edit. why wont it let me type Sw anky?

Your old library on your old laptop, does it have all the music that is on your ipod? Or do you have a mix of stuff on the iPod which isn't in the iTunes library?

Everything on the old laptop i tunes is everything I want to copy. I haven't ever registered with itunes though if that makes a difference.

Edit - since you never registered you probably don't need to worry about de-authorizing anyway. Quote:

How do I get rid of the bloody thing that pops up everytime I want to do something, the thing that double checks I want to do it, and beeps at me. XP didnt have this, never had vista.

what you'll need to do is copy the library over and edit the library xml file to use the new location
but it's a simple find/replace

as you don't have an external HD caddy I think you'll need to share the folders on the old machine and access them on the new one
editing the file we'll do later

I do have an external HD from Father Christmas last year, can I just bung it all on there, then install itunes and bung it on the new machine?
