    Can't you sync the iPhone with your new MB ?

    Doing so will erase all songs or videos that were synced from the previous library.
    Go to sharepod.com and there's a link there for using it with a mac

    But when I lost all of my music from my iMac last year I still had it all on my iPhone. I just synced it and it all moved back to my iMac .... does that not still apply ?

    Shouldn't have worked like that but maybe because it was from the same library, I dunno.

    Usually if you sync with your own pc/mac and then try do it with any other one that has a different library, all the previosly synced music/vids will be replaced
