How do you change the computer you normally sync with?

My friend is trying to get iOS 5 on his new computer but it wants to delete all his iPhone data. We already transfered his data. How can we update his iPhone without wiping his iPhone and using his old computer?

Plug it in and sync it.
The current data will be erased from the iphone and replaced with content form the new computer, so make sure that you have copied everything from your old computer to the new one.

    Then those are not the syncing computers. You can manage music among different computers.
    What computer did you setup your iPod on and do updates on/?That is usually the syncing computer.

  • I want to change the computer that I sync my ipod to.  How do I do that without having to download all my apps again

    My computer is really slow, so I want to change the computer that I sync my ipod to.  What is the easiest way to change computers and get all my apps, music, pics, books etc. to the new computer for syncing?

    Assuming that there is enough storage space on your iPod to hold all of your songs, the most direct way would be to combine all of the song files from your various computers to the computer you wish to use as your main library and sync all. If you don't still have all of the files that are currently on your iPod for what ever reason, there are programs that can copy non-store purchases from iPod to computer, which will allow you to follow my first suggestion. Search this forum for recommendations of which programs will work for your setup. iTunes Store purchases can be downloaded again if you have the log-in and password, but there is a limited number of times you can do that. If you have run out of authorizations, you can de-authorize all devices once per year. There is more to this than I can tell you now, so search the forum for that info too.
    One thing to be careful of is that iTunes may ask you when you first hook up your iPod to a computer that is not the same as the last computer it synced to is whether you want to sync to it now. If you say yes, it will delete all of the content on your iPod and sync what ever you have iTunes set up to sync. You will want to say no to this prompt if you see it unless you have first gathered all of your song files into the new library.

    as long as you do not have copies of your music (i.e. on an external HDD) or iTunes Match I fear the answer is: you won't.

    Thanks but this is not what I am looking for.  I am looking for the settings - setting that allows our iphone to auto sync with your mac book when you make a puchase on either device.
    You aren't going to sync with my MacBook when I make a purchase.
    And you are not going to autosync your iPod with the MacBook unless you tell it to sync or plug it in.
    You can enable Automatic downloads when you make a purchase.
    iTunes settings > Store.
    When you make a purchase, it will automatically download that purchase to devices set up the same way.
    This is not the same as autosyncing your device to your computer (as you first asked).

  • HT4623 I have an iPod with iOS 4.2.1 and would like to up date version 5. The pc I normally sync with has XP operating system. So I can't up date to iTunes 10. And my iPod doesn't show the software update button shown in the article. What can I do?

    You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

  • Recent software upgrade has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook, and diary items no longer upload from my iPhone. I've tried a to fix it and seem to have made things worse. What is the best way to get the two devices in sync ?

    Recent software upgrades has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook and items entered on my iPhone are no longer uploaded to my macbook. I've tried to fix it and seem to have made things worse, my iPhone now has a long list of calanders that I don't want and can't delete and nothing is uploading to my macbook.

    You need to look at Mac's iTunes, check  > System Preferences > iCloud.
    If you use iCloud for Calendar, Contacts then turn off those items in iTunes, Info tab with your iPhone connected and selected.
