I was fortunate enough to download handy light to my mac before it was pulled. However, i don't sync my iphone with the computer i bought it on. Is there any way for me to put in on my iphone without erasing all my content?

Why didn't you just buy the app on your phone? I'm not sure how you would go about getting it on the other computer since the app is no longer available.

Just send the file for the app to yourself on the other computer.

Save the file to the computer you normally sync with and in iTunes "File > Add to Library" assuming the computer is authorized.

posting via Handy Light...

No idea LOL I bought it on my computer and then when I went to sync I had forgotten that I hadn't upgraded to 4.0.1 and I was scared that by the time I finished the download it wouldn't work.

But it did, so screw AT&T and Apple :cool:

Just sending the file won't work unless your computer is authorized for that person's iTunes account.

from the way it was described it was bought on the same itunes account, so this won't be a problem

he's refering to emailing it to other non authorized users...OP just get it over with and sync with the computer it's saved on then "transfer purchases" from your iPhone to the computer you want to sync on...yes it's a pain in the arse to have to delete everything on your phone to get one app but I know of no other way

yes there is, copy the .ipa to the computer it normally syncs with, drag it into itunes, and then sync it.
