Hey Ronni Thanks so much for your step by step approach, I have successfully transfered the music from my laptop over to Caths.
That was the good news. I connected Cath's phone to her laptop using the docking cable with iTunes 9.2 open. Nothing happened! The phone did not show up. I tried several times. I then connected it to my laptop (iTunes 10.6.3) and the phone did show up and a 'Lets get started' screen asking to register the phone and set up an itunes account. I cancelled and thought I had better check with you to see if I need to do something on Cath's laptop to get it to recognise the iphone?
