I am a new iPhone user and was syncing iPhone to 2 different computers. Now I have several apps on different computers, and would like to get everything on one main computer. Any help on how to do this would be greatly appreciated

if it's just apps, just pick the account you want to use and download the apps you have on the other machine. once you pay for an app (if you have) you shouldn't have to pay again because it says on your itunes account that you have already purchased it. if they do end up charging you again, talk to apple.

make sure they are all on your phone. right click your phone in itunes on the computer you want them all to be on and click transfer purchases to itunes. should work

why are you paying for that? i use the free version and i don't think there's an advantage to the one you have to pay for. the way i look at it is if you don't have to pay then don't and normally the "lite" versions work effectively anyways.

i bought it before i bought im+ with all the issues i had with im+ i was going to use it until it got sorted out when i realized it was gone. i dont need it, but i would like that option if im+ decides to suck again. i liked it for the push notifications. i dont think the free one offered them at the time nor do i know if it offers push notifications now

they do now, especially if you have a carrier.

im+ is working now. just wish they would fix the autocorrect because my typos are pretty bad.

thanks for the heads up on that though!
