Ok, I'm giving my one of PCs to my brother and I need to transfer all my songs and whatnot to another one. Both have iTunes installed and both have had purchases on them due to which one I've had handy at the moment I decided to purchase the album.

My question is how do I get all my stuff off one computer to the other without losing anything. I would think there is some way to do this as PCs and Macs don't last forever. Just can't figure out how. Thanks
 
I would just set up Homesharing between the the two computers. I'm sure the new computer will be authorized under your account (as long as you've used the same one) since you have already purchased content. Homesharing may take some time but it will work. I don't know if there are any other ways. Once the transfer is complete, you can de-authorize the computer you are giving away, thereby keeping just a single computer on your itunes account. Hope this helps.
