Ensure the iTunes Media folder is the appropriate one, especially if your library is being stored in a non-standard location such as on an external hard drive. Since this is the default location for the iTunes library, the program should simply adopt the new library and its media however, if it does not, or if you have placed the copied library in a different location, then you will not see your music in iTunes and will have to re-associate your library with the program. When your systems are connected, you can transfer the iTunes folder from the Macintosh HD > Users > username > Music directory on the old system to the same directory on the new system, replacing the current iTunes folder (if present), and then simply launching iTunes. Depending on the size of your library and the connection speed of your Wi-Fi network, you might consider using a direct Ethernet connection or other option to swiftly transfer your library between computers. Library transfer can be done in several, and perhaps obvious ways, using a USB thumb drive or hard drive, or via networking and file sharing. The iTunes Library selector can be invoked by holding the Option key when you launch iTunes. The transfer of the iTunes library is relatively easy to do manually, and involves two mains components: the transfer, and the assignment of the library to iTunes on the new machine. While you can always use Apple's Migration Assistant utility to transfer files and accounts to other computers, you might find it easier to simply copy your iTunes library folder, if that is the only thing you need to transfer. If you use Apple's iTunes for your media library on your Mac, then you might at some point need to transfer the library to a new or different system.
