[QUOTE="Johnlouis, post: 1214507, member: 197531"] Hi all! My 4th PC in 5 years is on the brink of death, so I thought "enough is enough, I'm getting an iMac". So I went to my nearest Apple store, credit card in hand, and only 1 question in mind: will I be able to sign into my iTunes account on the new iMac and find all the iPhone apps I've purchased still there. The answer is the reason I'm on this site. I was told under no uncertain terms that if I plugged my iPhone into the new iMac my iPhone would restore to factory settings and I would lose EVERYTHING! Photos, contacts, apps - the lot, and would have to repurchase all the apps. OR I could pay £80 ($130 for those of you in the US) for One to One membership and they would transfer all the iTunes content to the new iMac. £80 for the transfer is bad enough, but it's a 100 mile round trip to my nearest Apple store, and to have to drag my PC there, and then drag the PC and the iMac back to the car ( a good 15 min walk) is no go as far as I'm concerned. I've never had to transfer purchases to my other PCs before, was the guy giving me wrong information? [/QUOTE]
