Itunes problem! There must be some other option!?

Question

Hi,
I'm a bit of a technophobe. Please help me with this problem! I know that if you want to change computers and sync an iphone to another computer with the SAME itunes account, it wipes everything (this is ridiculous!) The problem is I have bought films and music on my account on the other computer but I dont want to lose it all. I am willing to wipe everything on my iphone if there is anyway I can download the films and music and then put it back onto my itunes account. Is there any way I can transfer it?
As I said before, it is the same account, just a new computer.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Are both computers/iTunes authorised?

Sync = synchronise = the coordination of events to operate a system in unison.



It does not wipe everything. You are asking it to sync with a particular iTunes library. It assumes you have the items in the library that you want to use. If they are not in the library it is unable to use them.

Answer 3

I think you can download the films/music more than once on the iPhone?

Once you've plugged it into your new PC, you should be able to Sync all your purchases.
