June 10 I will be leaving my teaching job and will need to return my school laptop. This is the computer that I have been using to sync my iPhone w/itunes.
I'll be getting a new laptop and will need to switch everything over to the new laptop.
What's involved in in this? Is it just a matter of deauthorizing one and authorizing the new one?
Also, all my personal music will need moved too.
Is there any software to make this change easier?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

copy everything off and de-authorize

Are you saying to copy my whole iTunes folder or just the iTunes music folder.
Also if my old laptop is connected to an external drive, just copy the iTunes folder, then connect the new laptop to the drive and put the folder on the new laptop. Right?
When do i authorize the new computer? Before or after copying the iTunes folder?
I guess I'll need iTunes loaded on the new computer first.

Your whole folder
