Then it threatens to delete everything from my iPhone or iPad.
Of course it does. iDevices sync to one and only one computer. This is not the computer the device was syncing with.
Copy or move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Connect the device.
Sync.

Dec 14, 2013 2:07 PM in response to diesel vdubby PhilipBFWTX,Duh! Can you tell me how to move the folder? Should I use a flash drive? And if so, how do I find the correct folder to copy over? Thank you for the feedback.

About the iTunes library files
Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
- Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
- Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
- Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
- Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
- Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
About the iTunes Media folder
Note: You may have an iTunes Music folder instead of an iTunes Media folder.
By default, your iTunes Media folder is in your iTunes folder, and it contains all your media files:
- Items you imported from CDs
- Items you purchased from the iTunes Store
- Any other items you brought into iTunes (if you turned on "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" in iTunes Preferences)
