Ok I can help with that. Ok so if you have not set up your MacBook use migration assistant in the launchpad to make your new MacBook to be the same as your old Mac just on the newer running system. If it is already set up it might be time to pull Orr those blank cds. If the mac supports cds/dvds burn your music onto them then put those disks into the MacBook if it supports cds/dvds. If the MacBook doesn’t have a dvd/cd port you will need an external dvd/cd drive which can cost $100 from Apple new. Ok you might have noticed that there are usb c ports and the disk drive doesn’t fit. So you will need to go to Officeworks or Kmart to buy an adaptor to support it. So if the disk drive is connected go to iTunes/music and click the little picture of the cd near the top. After typing click it you get a message saying do you want to download into iTunes/music click yes and don’t tick the tick box. Now wait for your music to load onto your computer.
