    Apologies if this is a well worn subject, but I got a new PC, and want to start using it as my main PC. To that end, I'll start syncing my iPhone with the iTunes on this PC. I copied over my podcasts and music, etcm so they're fine. I then followed some instructions I found online which told me to authorize the new PC, backup, then restore, then sync. That all worked fine, but right at the end, as it was about to start the sync, it gave me a warning msg about wanting to erase this iphone, as a device can only be synced with 1 machine at a time.

    This is a work iPhone and has a bunch of settings on it I use to get my email and stuff, so I didn't want to chance it. So I hit cancel, the sync continued, and it ran out of room (presumably because it's trying to double up on the contents again?). Ever since then, syncing always gives the 'no room' error, nothing more about erasing my iPhone.

    Is there a step by step account of how to seamlessly move from one PC to another without losing anything off the phone?

    sorry to hijack this, but would that also work for me i wonder? my partner has an iphone 4, its NEVER been synced to itunes. we both use the same pc so i have set up separate user accounts and she has her own itunes account.

    if i use this to copy all of her data music, contacts etc to the pc, can i then sync her phone for her? will the first time sync erase everything from her phone? bear in mind she has the phone 18 months and its NEVER been synced...it has a lot of data on it and it badly needs backing up. thanks
