Setting up a new mac -- with a new AppleID -- but old iPhone has old ID
#1
Going to install Mavs on my new SSD -- but would like to break the AppleID I share with my wife.

All new name, etc, etc.

Ive got an iPhone -- so wondering if I will have to completely erase it to sync to the new AppleID.

tons of apps, but think 99% of them were free, so I can just download new.

Ive got a backup of them on my old system -- but not sure if my wife has all of them. Not really sure that I care...

Probably the biggest thing is my contacts. Is there a way to export/import them from the iPhone? iCloud? I really don't want to put all of my contacts into my wifes AppleID, she doesn't need any of them.

Insights?

Well, hell, sorry. I may have answered my own question. Went to new iTunes, selected contacts and "merged" with iPhone. So current (none) with old from iPhone. Now to see if I can erase iPhone and restore.

EDIT Nope, didn't work
