When syncing (using iTunes 12) my iPhone 5 or iPod (5th gen video) on my PowerMac (OS 10.7.5), I keep getting a message the it "can't find server <name of old computer>". this occurs before syncing seems to get started. The computer mentioned is off line and is not used much any more. How do I find what is causing that message and then fix it?
