    I'm guessing from your post that I'm a bit late with this advice, but you should save it for the next time. The link at the end should get you out of trouble.

     

    Moving your iTunes library from one computer to another...

     

    Method 1

    1. Backup the library with this User Tip.
    2. Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    3. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    4. Keep your backup up-to-date in future.

     

    Method 2

    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.

     

    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.

     

    Should you have to resort to pulling data back from a device see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
