iPhone/Tunes sync question.
My old computer bit the farm, and I'm trying to sync my iphone with the new laptop. It is saying I can't pull the music off because it was on another computer. There has to be a way around that. I've got over 300 songs on this damn thing, I sure as shit don't want to wipe them out and start from scratch. Suggestions or alternatives?

There's a way, I'll find the link for you when I get home. -
Google, damn it!
Or any other number of third party softwares will allow you to do that.

I think you need a third party utility to pull the data off the iPod and then you can reimport it into iTunes on the new laptop.- Darrell

The other computer is toast. I need to pull it off my phone and onto the new Mac.

Can I update my iPod from more than one computer?
In the official company FAQ, Apple reports that:
Yes. When you first connect iPod to your computer, iPod recognizes that computer as its "home" computer. Each time you connect, iPod automatically downloads the music library stored on it. When you connect iPod to a different computer, iTunes will inform you that iPod is linked to a different iTunes library and will ask whether you wish to erase iPod's contents and sync with the new computer's library.
If you will be connecting to multiple computers frequently, configure your iPod to manually manage music. This will allow you to selectively drag songs, albums, or playlists from the second computer to your iPod without compromising the existing music.
If you're wanting to physically pull the music off, it's pretty easy as well.Comment

The Transfer Purchase dialogue box doesn't pop up when I connect. And I can change it to Manual, but that will erase everything I've already got saved. That is what I am trying to avoid.Comment
