i have a 3g iphone and it is currently sync'd with my macbook.
i have just bought a new imac and want to put all of my apps and other info onto my new imac from my macbook.
is there anyway to do this without downloading and possibly paying for these again if i wipe my phone and start from scratch

cheers

I believe you can just copy you iTunes folder (/Users/yourusername/Music/iTunes) to the same location on your new iMac, then from iTunes on the iMac goto the Store menu and click Authorize Computer. You should be able to sync and use your music as before.

You can authorise upto 5 machines to your iTunes account and as far as I know, there is no restriction on re-downloading already purchased content if you need to.

Hope that help ;o)

Log-in in to your iTunes account on your new Mac and then sync as normal. You'll be asked if you want to copy stuff from your iPhone to Mac (which you probably want to do) and then you should be able to continue as normal. Remember to authorize your new Mac with your iTunes account as well.
