If you’ve ever tried syncing your iPhone with a different computer, you already know Apple only permits the iPhone to sync with one computer at a time; to sync with a different computer, you have to wipe your iPhone and begin again. This is mostly an aggravation during normal use, but what if you’re moving to a new PC or Mac, or need to format (erase) your hard drive and re-install the OS? How do you keep from having to erase your iPhone and create a new iTunes partnership?
The answer is to move your iTunes configuration files from your old computer to your new computer. This works on both Windows PCs and Macs, and with just a few simple steps, you can backup your iTunes configuration files (and even your entire iTunes music and video library), and then restore the files on a new computer for uninterrupted syncing.
In our latest tutorial series, we’ll show you how to backup and restore your iTunes library so that your iPhone will place nice with the new system or OS installation.
