Long story short the old Mac had issues and lost all its data from iTunes. Now I'm trying to sync the stuff I have on the iPhone to the new system. I don't have any backup sync folders as suggested here http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/29/sync-iphone-new-computer-without-losing-data/ since the previous system failed without ability to recovery. Every time I try to check a box for apps, music, books (I have a few pdf documents in here), etc., it's saying that it will erase everything. The phone is not jailbroken.
