Hi Jason, Thanks again.
He does have an Apple ID but he is not yet set up as a user on the MBP. Steve.

Has he got a brand new user account on the MBP? I think it should offer to sync with a brand new library. Be cautious, back it up (encrypted) to the old machine to be safe and also perhaps to iCloud. The encrypted one will preserve passwords. At this point look up what Apple say about changing to a new machine if they have such help files and go cautiously. See if it will associate the phone with a new user account or threaten to erase it. I haven't done this for ages so urge you go slowly, and turn off auto-sync when you back it up so that it doesn't start doing things you don't want. See if it lets you associate the existing phone set-up with a new account, or to back up before it does anything. Then you can restore it from the new machine.
