Hi,
I recently got a new MacBook Pro (woop!), and decided to set it up as a new Mac and simply wipe my old one (which I haven't done yet).
The only thing I'd like to transfer is the syncing of my iPhone and iPad. I only sync Apps and Podcasts with my devices. I do not keep music on my Mac(s), nor my iOS devices. I have moved over the backups and apps folder, along with a .plist file (I can't find the tutorial again), but skipped out the music/movies etc folders due to them being large and no longer needed (they just had junk I no longer used an didn't sync).
I was going to do a restore from backup, but with my jailbreak, I don't know how easy it would be, and thought there might be an easier method.
So, any ideas/tips, anyone? :)
