[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1384122"] You can't. The device can only be synced to ONE computer, and trying to sync to another one will wipe it. A few options: 1. Buy a bigger hard drive for your laptop already! :) 2. If you are certain -- absolutely certain -- that you have a safe backup on the other computer, go ahead and wipe the iPhone, upgrade to 5.1, and then restore from that backup. Your folks' computer will now be the sync point for that phone. [/QUOTE]
