when you sync a iphone with a new computer when it was already synced with another one , itunes tells you that the info on the iphone will be deleted( or something along those lines) when you sync to this new computer/itunes, what is it that will be deleted from your iphone, for example contacts/calendar/ apps.
Will it wipe everything from your iphone or what will happen :) ;)
Thanks
 
Photos, Music, Apps. However I normally just click okay and it syncs all the stuff anyway. If you worried about it - copy the iTunes library from an old computer that you synced with, to the new one + make a backup of the phone first.
 
Usually music and apps, 'tho your apps will still be in the Purchased section of your iTunes account... The stuff you buy from the iTunes store.

Haven't done this in years but try open iTunes, log into your iTunes account and then click "Store" in the menu bar, select "Authorize This Computer..." and try again. If that's a no go, there are a couple of apps out there to pull music off your iPhone.
 
Thanks, I'm more worried that it would delete mails/ sms's/ contact/ phone numbers, this shouldnt be deleted? Im not worried about photos/ music etc at the moment, contacts messages and emails should be safe?
 
Yep,make a backup to icloud or use one of the aftermarket programs like sharepod to back it up before "wiping",though it only clears out anything iTunes basically stores (music,books,movies,apps)
