Moving from 1 computer to another - purchases on my phone were deleted.

Okay - so I followed all the instructions above for moving my iTunes from one computer to another and it did not transfer my purchases.

They are still on my old computer but now they are gone off my phone (but all made on my phone).

What should I do??? What will happen if I sync it back with the old computer?

Also, have not updated to ISO 6 yet, tried on my old computer but got an error message 1 hour in. Now concerned about updating.

Thanks for any tips!

iPhone 5, iOS 4.3.3

As you still have access to your Old computer and its iTunes... Read on...

To have EVERYTHING as it is Now...

From your OLD computer...

Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

Did that. Sitting on the USB in front of me. Not sure what went wrong.

If you followed ALL the steps EXACTLY... then it should have worked.

If you are unsure... you could do it again.

Found the purchases - they are now just in the songs - not on the purchased play list.

Better than nothing - Thanks. Here goes the ISO 6.1 update. Fingers Crossed.
