How to sync my iPhone to a new computer?
I had to get a new computer and now I want to sync my iPhone to the new computer. I've researched online how to do this and gave it a go last night. I authorized my new computer, transferred purchases, and backed up my iPhone. However, when I went to restore backup I kept getting an error message. Is this normal? If I sync will I still be able to restore? I don't care so much about my music because that was all backed up and I was able to put that on my new computer, but I don't want my photos or contacts to be deleted when I sync. I do have iCloud, but honestly I really don't know how that works or how to put my contacts from iCloud back on my iPhone if they do get erased. Also, when I look at iCloud it seems to only have my contacts not photos or music or anything that like that. Thanks in advance for any help.
Added (1). The error message says: Itunes can't restore the iPhone because an error occurred.
The error you get would be helpful.
I used TouchCopy to transfer my all my iPhone content to my new computer as recommended here

- My iPhone won't sync to the new computer i got? Hi guys so i got a new mac and before i had a PC. obviously my iphone was synced to my old computer when i connected my iphone to my new computer to sync music and videos, it keeps saying i need extra space on my iphone even though it has like 8GBs left
- If I sync my iPhone with a new computer will it erase my camera roll? Is there any other way get my camera roll onto computer bc the videos are very long and they don't go on computer, also my old computer was messed up so I couldn't do anything and it used 10 GB for pics that I didn't have! So I wanted sync to new one and start fresh but I don't wanna lose all pics on my camera roll
- If i sync my iPhone to my computer will it take my photos off my phone and put them on the computer? I need to have my phone synced for the app zedge but i don't want my photos to be taken off my phone. There's this bar and on it it says photos, app, ect. And next to it is a little button that says sync. So IIm guessing it will take my photos. But i don't want that to happen but i need to sync my phone. Is there anyway i can do it without having my pictures going on to the computer?
- If I sync JUST music to iPhone on a new computer - do I lose everything? Hi, my computer is broken and in for repair but I want new music on my iPhone. If I plug my iPhone into my laptop (after unticking 'allow devices to auto-sync') and ONLY sync music… Will I lose everything on my phone or will my music just change? It suggests in a warning I can only sync to one computer and I'd lose everything - but I don't know if this 'everything' is actually everything - like my pictures - or just all my current music - which would be fine.
