I want to transfer my iphone from a windows PC to my Mac - is there any way to do this without having to erase the phone and start as new? :)
 
on the new computer, make sure iTunes is authorised for the relevant account (Store -> Authorise Computer) - then connect the iPhone and right click it, then select "Transfer Purchases" - all the apps with then move across - as for music that you've put on yourself, I think you've just gotta jam them on an external drive and move them across or whatnot...

Any help?
 
Well, I just did this myself, had exported/imported my iTunes library using some guides I found via Google meaning most of my apps were already present on the Mac. Just syncing now and it came up with the option to "merge information" which I think is the contacts etc, with the Mac or overwrite with the ones on the iPhone, I chose "merge" of course! When syncing my apps it said that I could either overwrite the iPhone or authorise the Mac with my iTunes login (which I did) and copy the apps across, going well so far, will let you know when it's done.
