Previously I've used my PC to connect/ download software for my iPhone. Is there any reason why I can't/ shouldn't use our family MacBook Pro to do so going forward? Was wondering if there was an issue using 2 computers with iTunes to backup/ store iPhone information. Thanks.

If the 2 libraries are not identical in every respect,
you will end up getting different results when syncing
on one machine then another.
Would you elaborate on libraries? Sorry unfamiliar with that term.
It's playlists, songs, podcasts, etc. that are stored in the
iTunes folder (not the app), which is located in different places in
Windows vs. OSX. In OSX, it is located in the users home
directory in the Music folder. Each user on a computer will have
his or her own. Not sure where it is in Windows, but probably
a similar, although differenty named path of course, for
each user.
I want to use the Mac to get the OS 5 update. Too much trouble on my PC. Can I do that and then go back to iTunes on my PC and copy the library back onto my phone?
iOS 5 can only be installed on devices using computers
with iTunes 10.5 installed. Also, if past major updates
like these is any indication, libraries will not be backward compatible.
