    Hey There

    Since my old computer was very old and had big problems, i bought a new computer. On my old computer i had all my music data. After i pluged in my iPhone 3GS in iTunes on the new computer and synced it, unfortunely all my music has been deleted from my iPhone and the music was not transfered to iTunes library. So i bought a song new, because i thought it won't charge me for this. But unfortunely it does.

    After i lost all my Apps and music, i synced my iPhone with my old computer and my data tranfered to my iPhone.

    But i don't wont to sync my iPhone with my old computer all the time. Do you know how i can sync it with my new computer without losing music?

    Plug your iphone in your new computer and open up iTunes. When the iPhone icon pops up on the left tab right click on it and hit "transfer purchases"

    You won't lose any music this way.

    Thank you so much! It works perfectly!

    And how about the apps? How can I transfer the apps?
