How to sync my iPhone with my new computer?
Ok, so I have all of this wonderful music that I got from various friends and CDs, and it's all on my phone and old computer. However, I just got this new laptop that I was hoping to sync all of my music to, but I can't figure out a way to do that. Every time I try, it says I have to erase my entire phone… NO Thank you! So, anyway, can anyone help me out here?
I did the same thing. I put all of the files from my old computer onto a flashdrive, and then uploaded them onto the new computer. Then I synced my iPod and that worked.
There's a few ways to do it, but the easiest ways are to back up your data to iCloud, then restore it once you've synced with iTunes your new computer, or do a manual transfer. For the latter, you need to set iTunes to manually manage music, since the default is automatic. For iTunes 11, you can turn off automatic syncing in the Preferences>Devices menu.
Here's some links to help you out.

An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes account at a time.once you switched to a new iTunes account or a new computer. You have to authorize your iPhone to it at first, then you can upload music and video from the new iTunes to your iPhone. But this way will overwrite the original files on iPhone with the new iTunes. You may try this iPhone transfer, it can help you copy files from iPhone to computer for backup, you can also use it as an iTunes alternative to upload music and video. It will not erase your original iPhone files. It's safe and works pretty well for me.

Is there anyway i can do it without having my pictures going on to the computer?
