So I'll start out by admitting that, although i may be decent with technology, phones confuse me for some reason. So this is probably a silly question, but here goes:
So i bought my friend's old iPhone 3gs, and she erased it and i believe we reset it, and i started using it and registered it with AT&T and all. I've had it since christmas but i haven't synced it with itunes yet because this is my first iPhone (actually my first halfway decent phone lol), and i'm nervous that somehow something will be set to automatically sync and stuff with get messed up. Am I paranoid or are there any settings i can check to make sure everything will be okay? I had my ipod set to "manually manage" with my itunes and i have some music in my itunes, but only a few songs on my iphone, mostly its just a lot of texts, pictures, etc.
I know someone who lost some stuff on her phone because of automatically syncing, so i guess i'm just being cautious.
I searched to see if i could find a similar thread, but found a lot with more complicated situations, jailbroken phones, people wanting to transfer info from an old phone, etc, and didn't want to confuse myself, so sorry if this is a repetitive question
