Well done. I would like to contribute in adding that you don’t need to worry about the music that’s on the iPhone to be overwritten you can use DiskAid to copy the music from the iPhone to iTunes and then start a new sync.
Here is an explanation of this : http://www.digidna.net/help/diskaid/user-guides/transfer-ipod-iphone-music
Dead simple ;-)

I recently switched from Charter Cable to Uverse. That required a new email address. I’ve tried everything to sync recently purchased songs from my computer to my IPhone and nothing is working. Any advice would help, thanks.

I have an iPhone and my kids have iPod touches. I am probably going to do away with my laptop as I hardly ever use anymore. Can I move iTunes to External and run on my husbands laptop if I ever need it?
Do I use the same steps as you listed above?

Randy, Have you tried remapping your library to the external hard drive? I have a networked external drive that I keep things on (including music) that I want to be able to access from any computer in the house. Under iTunes preferences, click the “advanced” icon on the top far right. The first item is the iTunes Media folder location. Just click the “change” button and reroute it to your external hard drive.

You may also want to uncheck the box for “Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library”. Otherwise you’ll waste a lot of space with duplicate music files.

This will only work if you moved the entire iTunes library file. If you moved only the music files, the only option I know of is the “File”/”Add to Library”. Maybe someone else has a better idea for that.

Hope this helped.

Maybe an iCloud account would solve this. I haven’t transferred over from MobileMe yet (there’s always tomorrow!), but that’s how I access documents from both my home and work computers.
