iPhone with new laptop

[ForceIndia]

Old laptop broke, got a new one today. Connected the iPhone to the laptop (after dl'ing itunes) and I can't seem to access any of my music (ie can't delete songs off the phone etc). Any solutions?

Ipad?

All the music will be on the iPhone and I'm guessing not the laptop? If you sync them, it will delete it all.

You'll need an extra program if you want to transfer the songs from your iPhone to your laptop. All your paid songs/apps you'll be able to re-download for free.

So I can only use the iPhone with one laptop at a time without deleting everything, then have to mess about re-downloading everything??

 

[Revels]

It can only be synced with one library at a time. Yes.

I have an external hard drive if you want to transfer mp3s etc?

Apple are shite sometimes.

Nope, there is a way around it. Google "sync iPhone with two computers" and there are quite a few guides telling you how to do it. You just need access to two iTunes config files from the old pc. I did it when I installed windows 7 and it was simple enough.

Run that one by me again, Seb..

 

[Andy.]

Meh, iPhone, iPod. Might still work.

 

[Revels]

Didn't mean you, Andy. I was talking to Seb! Lol.

 

[Andy.]

Haha. I did have a reading fail so could have been directed at either of us...although not with that sneeky edit.
