Re: Want to sync iPhone to new PC

if you plug it in and sync it, it will tell you it's paired with another computer. "would you like to erase and re-sync"

click yes and you should be sorted.

It will need the stuff like music, videos, podcasts deleted as far as i know.

it should then ask if u wanna replace or merge contents for like contacts etc.. click merge and your sorted.

as for songs etc.

quck google search showed this

just share your pc on the network and you can get them from your macbook pro then just authorize your new macbook pro and you will be fine you can have 5 pc's authorized so you can still listen to music on both pc and mac...thats what ive been doin...copied all songs onto macbook and authorized....

hope this has been of some use.

it was for the other way around but it should still be the same. main thing i u will lose ur music on the iphone. apps can be redownloaded for free.
