I have my wifes iphone synced with my laptop. My laptop went kuhpoot. Now i am trying to sync with desktop (new one....pc) itunes says that it needs to erase the iphone to sync it. Like the apps will be erased. She has a lot of apps. How do i do this and retain the apps. contacts and the like. I was trying to plug it in in order for the new mms thing and now am stuck. Does anyone have any suggestions. Im not tech savvy but workable. Help a brudda out. Thanks

    You can typically regain the purchased content via a call to Apple Support. They can send you an email containing a link to re-download all of your purchased content to a computer authorized on your account and with iTunes installed.



    As for the contacts...
