    Hi Lads,

    One of my friends wants to synch his legit iphone with itunes to upgrade to 2.0, problem is he registered it first day with his bro's laptop which I think is in London? Is there anyway he can synch with someone else's itunes without losing all his contacts etc?
    Or what solutions are there?

    Thanks
    Gary

    Not possible. Unfortunately, iTunes doesn't give the option to retain settings on a phone and will erase everything on his iphone if he attaches it to another computer and itunes.

    Check Manually Manage Music and you can connect and transfer music. You can't sync though.

    Hope im in the right forum for this question and excuse me if i sound ignorant. I just got a 320gb external hard drive and I plugged it into a family members home pc and transferred about 7gb of music which he had in a music folder on his desktop.
    When i got home i plugged the external hard drive into my own laptop and transferred all of this new music into my itunes library on top of about 9gb of music which i already had. I then went to synch my new extended itunes library with my iphone but it wouldnt allow me, telling me my that my computer wasnt authorised.
    Can anyone let me know if there is a a way around this?
    Thanks
