Hi everyone, I currently own a MacBook Pro retina 13 mid 2014 model and was interested in getting a refurbished iMac 21.5 4K from Apple. When I use Migration Assistant to Transfer all data(256gb hd but not even close to full) to iMac would I only be able to sync iOS devices on the new one or could I still sync to MacBook? I don’t do anything intensive but wanted a desktop. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m not getting rid of MacBook and may move so I wondered could I still do iTunes backups to both devices.

Yes that should not be a problem I think you can make up to 5 computers trusted ones for each iPhone or iPad.
