Syncing iPad

When I synchronised my iPad, it says '4 out of 5 computers available to sync with'. I was wondering when I sync my iPad with my new MacBook Pro, will I be able to sync with another computer after that?

iPad, iOS 6.0.1, iPad Mini

Not sure I understand here. You can only sync an iPad with one computer at a time. Syncing with a second computer will erase the content that was obtained from the first computer.


You music and purchases though can be kept on up to 5 computer simultaneously. When you no longer want to use one of those computers you can:

1. Select Deauthorize this .computer in iTunes on the computer you no long want to use.

2. Go to your iTunes account and select a computer to deauthorize.


Deauthorizing a computer means you can authorize a new computer to store your music etc.
