New MacBook, iTunes Sync/Erase issue...

[EarlofCroydon]

On my new MacBook, I need to erase my iPhone in order to sync with it in the future. My issue is, will it erase Apps? If so is there anyway I can keep them since some of them I bought free on special offer and would like to keep and others have lots of info which will take ages input back into the App (Studies, it has my college timetable on and all my class info).

Thanks

Open iTunes and right-click on your iPhone and click on Transfer Purchases. If you have photos then go to iPhoto and sync them. Also tick your "Calendar" and "Address Book" and click sync. Then click 'merge info'.
