Plugging my iphone to a new laptop? What will happen?

Hi! I'm getting a new laptop and I was wondering what will happen if i plug in my iphone 5 to the new laptop after i download itunes. Will everything on my phone erase? Or will my phone sync everything on itunes? I really don't want to lose everything!

Most likely your iPod will sync with the iTunes library on your new laptop, since it can only sync with one library at a time, meaning you will lose all the music/apps on your iPod. You can download SharePod and import your songs from your iPod into the iTunes library on your computer. I don't know what to do about the apps though; but I'm not completely sure if they'll erase. Just don't sync your apps with your new laptop then. Also, if your phone is connected to the cloud, you might be able to recover/get items from there.

  • Plugging your iPhone into a different computer? I have an iPhone 4 but I need to update the software on it but obviously I need to do that from iTunes. My problem is that the laptop I normally connect it to is all slow so it takes me like half an hour to switch it on. I wanted to know if I download iTunes on another laptop and connect my phone to it, would it wipe my songs and apps? If so, how do I stop that from happening?
