syncing to a different computer
Hi all,
I have an iPhone 5S with iOS 8.3 and a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.5 and iTunes 12.1.2.27. I recently loaded a couple of CDs into iTunes to put on my phone. When I went to do that, though, I got this message:
The iPhone xxxxxxx is synced with another iTunes library on “xxxxx Computer (44)”. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
I might have synced the iPhone with my last MacBook Pro in order to put a few ringtones on it. That computer is on its last legs and is sitting out in the garage. I don't want to lose the ringtones, but I really don't want to lose all the apps I've installed directly onto the phone. If I sync with the new computer, will all the apps be deleted from my phone? If so, what do people do when a computer that was synced with their phone dies?
Does anyone know of an approach I can take that will not cause me to lose everything installed on the phone?
Thanks,
Tery
