Pink means that the texture files are missing. If the texture files are still on your system, then it sounds like the textures are referenced relative to the blend file (the default behavior). This means that if you move the blend file and you don’t move the textures, blender won’t be able to find them.

Pack the textures into the blendfile. Press Info > File > External Data > Pack into blendfile. This will embed the image data into the blendfile itself, so your file may become rather large. However, this means that blender will always be able to find the textures no matter what (even if the file is put on another computer).
