Can I update my phone with iOS5 on a different computer than i normally sync my phone to?

My personal computer had some issues a while back and i cant get it to update to iTunes 5. So I updated my work computer and i am wondering...
Can I update my iphone 4 with iOS 5 on my work computer, realizing it will erase my phones music, etc; and then resync my updated iOS 5 phone to my personal computer to update my media files? Will my phone keep iOS 5 and resync all my media?
Thanks

The computer you normally sync to has all your data on its hard drive. Any other computer does not, and that is what it will sync to your phone: nothing.
One phone: one computer. It's a symbiosis sort of thing.

    Yes, it will. Try using TouchCopy (http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php) (automatic transfer), or iExplorer (manual transfer of files).

  • Why is it taking 4 hours to sync my phone with Icloud, why is it taking 4 hours to sync my phone with Icloud

    Why is it taking 4 hours to sync my iphone with Icloud, when i only have 99 songs and about 15 apps?

    iCloud does not sync media and only backs up apps. Why do you believe it is taking 4 hours to sync?  Does the device actually say it is syncing?
    Is the device plugged into external power during this time?  If it is not, Wi-Fi is turning off and the device is reverting to the slower cellular network.

  • Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords are not working now can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS

    Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    If your phone is an iPhone 3G, you can't update higher than 4.2.1
    Only the 3GS can do.

    Well, you're timing is perfect then   Are you eligible for any upgrade pricing from your service provider?
    I skipped over the iPhone 4s, and I am eligible for full upgrade pricing in almost exactly one month from yesterday, so I will be moving to an iPhone 5 next month.

  • Can't backup my Iphone4 with IOS5.01

    Can't backup my Iphone4 with IOS5. When connected to itunes, after 3sec. it has an error witch says that: ITunes could not backup the IPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iphone. The phone it`s not JailBreaked

    Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error: 
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service. 
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • HT4972 Can I update my iPad to iOS5

    Can I update my iPad to IOS5?

    Any iPad can be updated to iOS 5. You need to use a computer and iTunes - the latest version of iTunes is advised.
    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
    Transfer purchases.

  • How can i update my app with i tunes?not by my device.

    how can i update my app with i tunes?not by my device.

    Select Apps in iTunes sidebar. A list of all your apps should be displayed in the main window. At bottom right of the window is a Check for updates button. Click on it, then click to download the updated apps. It's also possible that iTunes checked for updatedin the background, in which case the check button will already display how many updates you have.

  • Can I update 2012 mini with sad drive?

    can I update 2012 macmini with ssd drive?

    Take a look at the video Illaass pointed to, it shows what you'll have to do. If you've never poked inside the innards of a computer before, it looks a bit scary but its pretty easy to do if you view the video a couple times and take it slowly. But I honestly have to say it is closer to a moderate task than an easy task so you may want to take den.thed's advice and find an independant Apple service provider. You won't get this done at an Apple store.
    Another possibility is to get an SSD in a thunderbolt or USB3 enclosure. It won't be quite as fast as if it were installed internally but you won't lose much and if you decide against doing the upgrade yourself it will probably be less expensive than going to an AASP.

    Be sure you've turned off any antivirus, spyware, malware type software. Then try [Unable to update or restore|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808]. Hopefully that will work, or you'll get more specific error messages which [this kb|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275] can help interpret.
