You can save the songs as data files on a CD-R or CD-RW then open the cd on your laptop and save the music files.

yeah thats not hard at all.  Goto my documents. then right click on the my music folder, or whatever folder your music is in.  There should be a sharing option. Click that.  Then in the middle of the popup box there is an option to share with network users and all users of the computer. That should fix it.

You can't switch it. You have to install it on the new computer, either with the CD you got with your iPod, or you can download iTunes for free off the apple website.

You will have to take the hard drive out and buy a IDE USB adapter for it, then simply connect the USB wire that comes out of the adapter to another running computer and transfer files.

You can't just MOVE the programs.   So you would have to UNINSTALL the program, then REINSTALL it, and pick the external drive.\n\nBut I recommend that you move ALL of your data to the external drive.  Uninstall programs that you don;t really use.  \n\nBe sure to keep the original disk that came with every program.  if you downloaded the program, be sure to make a CD of that original installer.  \n\nGood luck

Your best bet is to start with Dell's website.\n\nIf you want to move your entire system (XP, programs, data), then you'll want a program such as "Migrate Easy" by Acronis.

Nope, Just dowload it and install it like a new program it will import your music and things right with it. It just installs over the top of it.

Programs need to stay where they was installed.\nIf you does not have the installation discs, so you can uninstall it, and install it again on the new harddrive, then you only can move DATA-files. And remove temporary files.\n\nCreate a new folder on the new harddrive. Call it DATA.\nAnd move all files that is located inside My Documents, to there.\n\nYou can also delete everything inside the temp folders (your personal, and the system temp folder). You did not say what operating system you use, so I can't tell exact location.\n\nThen you can also empty your web-browser's cache, and then set it to be 20 Megabytes in size (default size for IE is much more, and deafault size for FireFox is 50 Mbyte, so you will save some space there).

there are many ways to do this, either you can burn a cd with the saved data and put it in your laptop. or you can have and pen drive/flash drive and transfer the data. another way wud be to network these two computers and transfer the data. you can even use internet for the same if data in not too much, you can email it to your self and later can open and download it in your laptop.

Buy external hard drive. Move everything from your desktop there, then copy it to your laptop.\n\nor Setup a home network, so you can connect to your desktop from your laptop. Then you can copy everything directly from your desktop without having to buy another hard drive.

Save the music to a folder in mydocs/mymusic and then open iTunes and there should be some kind of button (under your account) that lets you import music to your library.

okay, so you put the new hard drive in your computer and saved all the files to it that's cool, but don't ever delete any program files.  What probably takes up most of the space is music or videos.  So make sure you saved them to the new hard drive then just delete them off the old.  Your operating system is on your C: drive so you can't change the new one to your primary drive.  I would go through the files on the old one save what you want to and then delete them.  But remember don't delete system or program files.  Then go to control panel, then administrative tools and then to disk defragment, and then disk cleanup that will clear up some space too.  Hope it works

You can take off the laptop harddrive and add it to the new desktop pc as another harddrive, then you can access the added harddrive from the desktop. \nI assume your laptop file system is the same as the desktop, if not the desktop must be NTFS.

Use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard:\n\nThe Files and Settings Transfer Wizard helps you move your data files and personal settings from your old computer to your new one, without having to go through much of the same configuration you did with your old computer. For example, you can take your personal display properties, folder and taskbar options, and Internet browser and e-mail settings from your old computer and place them on the new one. The wizard will also move specific files or entire folders, such as My Documents, My Pictures, and Favorites. Passwords are not moved with program settings when you use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. This is a feature of the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard that helps to keep your passwords confidential.\n\nWe recommend that you install a virus detection program on the new computer before transferring files over from the old computer. This can help protect your new computer from viruses that may be contained in the files transferred over from your old computer.\n\n\nConnecting Your Computers\n\nFor the best experience using the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard, you will want to connect your two computers together. You can connect your computers either by using a null modem serial cable or by using Home networking.\n\nConnecting With A Serial Cable\n\nThe easiest way to connect your computers is to use the null modem serial cable. \n\nTo use the null modem serial cable:\n\nBoth computers must have an available serial port (also called a COM port). \nYou must have a null modem serial cable (also called a LapLink serial cable or a serial file transfer cable). \nThe serial cable must be long enough to connect the computers together. \n\nSelecting The Proper Cable\n\nBefore using Direct cable, you will need a serial cable to connect your computers together. Unless your computer came with a serial file transfer cable, you will need to purchase a serial cable for transferring your files and settings.\n\nThe most common serial cables are LapLink serial cables, serial file transfer cable, and null modem serial cables. You cannot use parallel cables to transfer files or settings between computers using the Direct cable option.\n\nBefore purchasing a serial cable, you must check both computers to see if the serial port (also called a COM port) is a 25-pin or a 9-pin port. Most new computers have a 9-pin port and most new cables have a 9-pin plug. If you have a 25-pin port on the computer, you may need an adaptor for the cable. If you have more than one port to plug the serial cable into the computer, don't worry about it too much. Pick one port and plug the serial cable in. The Files And Settings Transfer Wizard will be able to automatically detect the connection, in most cases.\n\nOnce you have selected a serial cable and connected the computers together, run the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.\n\n\nConnecting With Home Networking\n\nThe best way to connect your computers together is to use Home networking. Although the setup is more complex, your files and settings will transfer faster. If you are planning to keep both your old computer and your new computer, you might want to consider creating a Home network.\n\nTo use Home networking:\n\nBoth computers must have a network interface card or a USB network interface installed. The jack looks like a slightly larger telephone jack. \nYou must have network cable, and in most cases a hub. \nThe network cable must be long enough to connect the computers together. \nNote: A wireless network will not need network cable or a hub.\n\nRun the Network Setup Wizard to set up your Home network.
