Is there a way to import all Itunes purchases to a new computer from old ones under the same account?

I just bought a new laptop (my last one was stolen). I need to gather my Itunes purchases. Is there a way to do this or did I just get screwed (again) by Apple?

yes. reauthorize your computer in itunes (Store->Authorize Computer)
Sign in.
Check for Downloads.
the record labels are screwing you. focus your anger.
I am just a grasshopper in your lawn epony. I am very gracious you have not run me over with your lawnmower.
xoxoxo
Thank you. I will do this.
You can copy all the files in the iTunes folder under music to the new computer and authorize the new computer for use on the account.
wait a second. I did whay epony suggested and now it won’t let me re-authorize my computer plus I can’t seem to find the “check for downloads” thing you are speaking of.
what do you mean “re-authorize”?
Check for Downloads is also in the Store menu item, below the Authorize/Deauthorize section.
Awesome…I was looking somewhere else.
Thanks. I was afraid that when I “authroized” my new computer (making it the 5th one) and then “de-authorized” it that it would fuck things up.
or you could just put the account on a flashdrive and then plug it into you new computer and upload the info
your welcome by the way! :)
