I have purchased a lot of music on iTunes when I owned a PC. My PC had issues (really?) and I had to restore/reauthorize my music on the PC several times. When I purchased my MBP a few months ago and migrated my music to it, I received a warning that I would be unable to authorize the music any more.....so, in a couple of months when I buy my iPhone, what will I be able to do to move my music to the iPhone?
Thank you in advance!

You can sync the music to the iPhone from the MBP. You do not need to authorise the iPhone.

Oh and if you want to clear all your authorised computers from iTunes you can do so by following the instructions from here. This means you can clear out any old computers that you forgot to de-authorise. Of course you will have to re authorise any machine you want to use.


To deauthorize all computers associated with your account
  1. Click iTunes Store in the Source pane.
  2. If you’re not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
  3. Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
  4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
