(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I didn't have my own laptop yet, so I had my iPhone synced to my sister's computer. Her computer crashed and lost everything on it, and I just got a PowerBook G4 and want to sync my phone to it. Will I lose all my music and pictures off my phone if I sync to the new computer? Is there a way to sync and not lose everything?
Thanks in advance.

From my understanding Apple will only an iPhone to be synched with one computer at a time. I've had similar issues and had to use a program to transfer the music from my iPhone to my computer, then transfer the music from that program to my itunes account. There may be other ways, but that was my experience.
Besides what mentioned above, i like to share you a page about You must login or register to view this content., which included transferring iPhone contents to computer/iTunes.
Hopefully this works for all of you like it just worked for me!

What are you trying to sync? If it's music then you can add whatever it is you want from the library to your playlist, then go to your iPhone, click on any artist from the artist selestion area, then click Apply. Once you do that it'll Back Up your iPod & apply whatever it is you want.
