I recently got a MacBook, and haven't switched my mom's iPhone over to my new iTunes library. Whenever I plug it in and click manually manage the songs on my iPhone, it tells me it will erase data on the phone. My question is if i go ahead and click sync, will it erase everything or only the songs on the phone? I'm worried about loosing all of my mom's data...
Got a tip for us?

yeah it will. i had the problem when i got my macbook, i had to buy an external hard-drive and put all my data including music,pics,contacts,documents and added all the info the my macbook. when i did first plug my iphone in i did a full restore as well, so i ended with a snappier-iPhone and all my data was on my new macbook..
hope you enjoy the macbook , they are great!!!

Something simililar is happening with my computer also. Like, my desktop computer's Power Supply got messed up somehow(before I bought my iPhone), with MUCH MUCH trouble I got all of my songs off my iPOD(not iPhone) to my dad's laptop. now, After I did that, I got the iPhone, and sync'd to my dad's laptop.*note My desktop is still not fixed, but will be by day after tomorrow*. I also added about 500 more songs after I got the iPhone. now, I need to know how to get all my songs off my iPhone or off my laptop, to my desktop..
