Hey so this Itunes software is new to me and i never owned a ipod before and so this iphone will be like my first one. Now in the past people has told me if you move an ipod that was synced on a computer to another computers with itunes all your files will be erased. My question is i unlocked my iphone on my laptop but theres no music on it my laptop is for work. so now i wanted to plug my iphone on to my main computer to transfer music videos etc. will i have to unlock everything again? would i lose files(contacts, pics..etc) my main computer has vista 64bit if that helps and iam running itunes 7.5 on both machines

thanks again

Just go into your iphone settings and under the summary tab uncheck the box that says automatically sync.

I think he wants to transfer music from one computer to another(?).

Welcome to the world of apple - YOU CAN'T (without some hacking / 3rd party software)

The whole design premise is that you are not supposed to be able to move your music to other people's (even if it's yourself) computers.

sorry i think i confused you guys what i want to know if i move my iphone to my desktop will i lose my information and vice versa once i put music on it for example all my hacking files are on my laptop and music is on my desktop what will happen if i sync to my desktop put music on then sync to the itunes on my laptop i heard before with an ipod if you did this it would erase everything??

though your phone was activated from your laptop, you should not loose anyting to start syncing with the desktop. Not too sure about iTunes purchased media though. Check the apple iphone forum
