Q. I have a 3G iphone. I have set it up on one computer, where it has back ups of its apps and songs. I'm trying to transfer my apps and songs onto another itunes library. The problem is that I don't know how to do that. I don't want to lose all the content I have on my iphone now, but I need to change it to another itunes library. Any ideas?
