I get this prompt sometimes when I connect my phone to my computer. It doesn’t tell me what items it’s referring to, but I know I don’t want anything on my computer that isn’t there already. But it looks like if I don’t go ahead with it, the mystery items will be removed from my phone.

Anybody know what the thinking is behind this? Maybe it’s just a sync setting I’ve set myself, but it reads like some kind of crazy ransom note :)

I chose ‘Don’t Transfer’ in the end. I have no idea what the consequences are. I don’t notice any differences on my phone.

    @FarraigePlaisteach It’s a money thing. This way half the people forget how it works or even that they have the content already and then they might buy it again.

      If you try to purchase something from the App Store or iTunes Store that you already own, you get a download button instead of a buy button.
