How do I go about taking my iphone setup off of my current iMac, and what will happen "in transition", where I am not sure which computer I will be setting up the iphone?

Can I just move my whole iTunes folder to a portable hard drive?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

I would back up the whole itunes. File -> Back Up to Disk
(You should already have a backup!) and import that into your new machine.

Then plug the iPhone in. Easy - s'a Mac innit!
