    This will happen if you are synced to a different library.

     

    Iphone will sync with one library at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new library.

    Did you sync the phone with another iTunes library on a different computer and now want to sync it with a Mac?  If you did then erasing the phone is standard practice.  A device can only be synced to one library at a time and connecting it to a different library requires erasing the device so it can be synced to the second library.
