Hi there,

I have only been using my iMac to sync my iPhone with over the last 4 years. However, recently I have been away from home a lot and have my Macbook Air with me. I've connected my iPhone to the Macbook and been able to backup my phone to it, with no problems, it seems. My iTunes account is authorised to this computer too. However, when I download the latest updates to my apps on my Macbook and hit sync, it won't sync the apps onto the phone. It says sync complete but nothing happens.

Is it possible to sync with two machines? FYI, I don't sync any music or movies, just apps. I also have a few photos on my iPhone which were transferred from my desktop.

If I can only sync with only one machine, how do I make my Macbook the main machine without losing anything from my phone?

Both my iMac and my Macbook are authorised to use my iTunes account, in case this informaition helps.

Many thanks.
