Moving your iTunes library to another computer
If you get a new computer, Setup Assistant helps you transfer files from another computer. If you don't transfer files during setup, you can transfer your iTunes library by connecting computers, or by using a portable hard drive or iPod.
For more information, open Mac Help (in the Finder, choose Help > Mac Help) and search for "transferring files between computers." Also click the links below to see articles on the Apple Service & Support website.
When you sell or give away a computer, don't forget to deauthorize it.
