WiFi syncing of I-Phone 4s

Question

WiFi syncing of I-Phone 4s

I got a new windows 64 bit windows 7 operating system desktop computer. I had previousily had a Windows 32 bit XP desk top machine. I set my I Phone up to WiFi sync to the old XP machine. When I transfered the information to my new machine and ran I-Tunes WiFi sync it worked fine on the computer syncing all the data via WiFi.

There was a problem though, on the i-phone under iTunes Wi-Fi Sync the old computer name is still listed. I would like to change the name of the Computer listed there (on the I-Phone) to my new computer so if I am in range of the Home Wi-Fi I can just touch the IPhone Sync Now tab to sync.

It appears the old computer name is imbeded in the I-Phone and When I touch the Sync Now area under " iTunes Wi-Fi Sync" Nothing happens.

Is there any way to change that name on the phone so it sees my new computer name?

Hello, Dale.

The first computer you connect your device to is its "home" computer. The music library from that computer is copied to your device. To setup syncing with the new computer, you will need to connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable. From there you can will need to select the syncing preferences. Please note, syncing with a new computer will wipe existing media from the device. I see from you post that all media has been transferred to the new computer so this shouldn't be an issue as you can sync the media back.

iOS: Syncing with iTunes

Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
