This morning I ensured that I had both systems with the current iTunes and then sync&#8217;d my iPhone and iPad with my personal notebook. I then copied the iTunes folder to the new work notebook (having renamed the newly created iTunes folder to iTunes.original just in case). Once that was done I plugged in my iPhone to the new notebook. iTunes prompted to transfer Purchased Apps which was ok, and later I agreed to Authorise this computer using my regular account in the iTunes store. Once that was complete, I did the same process with my iPad and it all works. To confirm that I had no issues I then did a repeat sync with my personal notebook which also worked. Sync&#8217;ing with two notebooks works. <\/p>\n<p>I also read with interest this entry from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andrewgrant.org\/2008\/03\/30\/how-to-sync-an-iphone-with-two-or-more-computers.html\">Andrew Grant&#8217;s &#8216;Shiny Things&#8217; blog<\/a> and I will want to investigate this further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I use my own notebook for most of my work but recently took on a new contract role that included a work notebook.
