You said you have a clean install on Snow Leopard, but have you put all of your content back into iTunes (like it was before you did the re-install). Have you put all of your music, apps, ringtones, etc... back.

not yet but i backed up all my data.

but i don't want to put all my old audio files on itunes again.

i don't want to sync, i just want to manage my music files and add them without syncing

Now if you have selected to Manually Managing your music and videos, then that media won't (should not) delete from your phone when you Sync it, Apps I'm not sure about.

As far as your Contacts, Calendar, Notes. You are going to get a pop up asking to you if you want to Merge the data from the Mac and Phone together, or Replace the information on your Phone with whatever is on the Mac.

As a precaution, I recommend you Transfer any purchased items from your phone to your computer (Apps) just incase iTunes doesn't see that media present and decides to delete it.

but when i check the box 'manually manage .....' i have to click apply and then it says your iphone have synced with another itunes library.....


after that you can cancel or erase and sync
