Do I lose everything on my iPhone when I plug into a new computer?
My old laptop severely died one day, and I had to get a new computer. I haven't plugged my iPhone 5C with iOS 8.3 into this new laptop yet, and I was wondering what is going to happen? I don't have a problem with losing the music I didn't buy from iTunes, however I'm wondering if it will wipe my photos and apps? I use iCloud, so would it just all be saved still?
If it's saved on iCloud then it's still there. And no you shouldn't lose everything, that'd surprise me, but I don't use Mac so.

You better check further on how you use tools on computer for attaching devices like mobile phones,
If you are connecting to iTunes, there are options to transfer and sync, that means they both get the same, but set that up before you attach or you could copy files to computer and remove files from phone if not set in preferences, technically you can copy back and forth any files as sync allows such.
check you iPhone settings for sync or transfer and what can be copied or backed up,

Hi, if you have backed up your photos and apps to iCloud, it's pretty safe that you won't lose data. When you plug your iPhone to a new computer what you can do is to creat a backup immediately to the new computer with iTunes. This action won't cause any data lose.
- With my new iPhone 7 plus if I set it up as a new phone instead of moving my iCloud data to the new phone would I lose my? Unlimited data plan and phone number or would that still be there I already put my SIM card in 10 points
- Will syncing my iphone on my new mac make me lose everything? I just bought a macbook air and i have my family's pc desktop also. I want to put everything from my iphone music, contacts, etc.onto my macbook air without having it getting deleted. I want to be able to put songs from my air onto my iphone. In the end I want to put everything from my iphone into my Macbook airs itunes, without loading my whole family's library on it as well.
- Why does my iPhone do this when I plug it into my computer? Whenever I plug my iPhone into my comuter, the same 5 songs get taken off of one of my playlists, automatically. It doesn't do that with my iPod, so why is it doing this with my iPhone?
- What will happen if I plug my new iPhone into my computer? I've had an iPod for a very long time and I have all of my music currently on my iTunes. I just recently bought an iPhone and I wanted to add some tones and various music to it. Will my music be okay if I plug my iPhone into my computer?
