If you previously dragged the library to that external, just drag and drop it to the new external. Then start iTunes while holding Option to choose the new library location.


If you have media stored in multiple locations, consolidate the library first from Preferences > Advanced. More info here -> iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder
