I have recently set up my own business and to celebrate being free of corporate tyranny and controls I've gradually gone all Apple and now boast an iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro in my stable relegating the Nokia, Blackberry and Thinkpad to the metaphorical dustbin. I do however have some questions that I'm hoping learn'd FT'ers will be able to provide some assistance on..

Previously I had at home, a desktop PC where I kept my iTunes library and to which I synced my iPhone and my iPad. I then got iTunes Match and whilst I still have a copy of my music on the PC it is "in the cloud" as it were and I use Match/iCloud on both the iPad and the iPhone. They also both backup to the cloud.

The iPhone and iPad still sync to the PC - for example, if I want to add a film to the iPad I select to sync it from the PC iTunes sync screen. I keep my movie files on a NAS. I also have downloaded some TV series - presumably these are kept on the PC's harddisk in the iTunes folder.

I now however want to switch so that my MacBook is the main computer and I use it to manage the content on the iPad in particular (ie which films I put on it so I have the selection I want to watch when I am travelling).

I have set up the new MacBook and told it my Apple ID and it has worked out that my library is in the Cloud and allows me to download music. I haven't tried to download any of the TV series I may have bought.

So questions I have....

1) Do I need to transfer the iTunes library from my old PC to the MacBook? given the music is in the cloud I'm guessing not. What about the TV series - presumably I can just do a "download purchases" on the MacBook and they would be re-downloaded? For movies I am assuming I would need to re-load them into the MacBook's iTunes library by pointing it at the appropriate folder on the NAS.

2) What do I need to do to tell the MacBook I'd like to use it to control the sync of the iPad and iPhone. At the moment if I try to connect them it says they are synced by another PC and gives me the option to wipe them which I'm (hopefully understandably) cautious to do. My gut feel is that I should let it do it then restore from the iCloud backup running it from the MacBook iTunes. They currently sync over Wifi to the PC so presumably this would stop this happening. Do I need to change anything on the old PC (which is still being used in the house by the kids)?

Thanks in advance. I think I'm probably just being a bit dumb but having spent hours poring over various bits of information across the internet they all refer to transferring libraries when you move from PC to a Mac but none seem to cover the case of what happens when you manage your library in the cloud and when you sync iOS devices to the previous computer by wifi!
