iTunes issues

[asianpersuasion]

So my old laptop to a dump last wk. So I dl'd iTunes on the new laptop. When I hook up the iPhone/iPod it won't let me sync bc it says they are syncd with another iTune library. How do I dl my stuff on the phone/pod onto this iTune?

Have you authorized the new computer to your iTunes account?

log in to your account and authorize your new computer through the itunes store. If you have 5 computers already authorized you will have to unauthorize one to get he new computer to work or you can reset all your authorizations in your account and start over.

I just authorized and it said this computer is 3 out of 5. And I still can't get the damn thing to sync to either

Well at least I'm not the only one with this issue

Set the phone to Hard Drive mode and copy all the song data out of it. You can re-sync the songs and stuff after that.

I don't remember if it's a real pain in the ass to get the songs to re-tag though. They'll come out nameless.

I actually don't have any movies or music on my phone. I just don't want to loose the info (contacts,calender,aps) when I sync

Damn...Imagine the problems this would cause with an iPad.

If all else fails, talk to the geeks at Apple....
