In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only. When syncing an iPhone with an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.

You need to use your iTunes account with iTunes on your computer to purchase and download any paid or free apps that you want to use on this iPhone, which is the same for music. Anything else is considered as stealing from app developers with an app that requires payment.

The only way to transfer your iTunes account to this iPhone is by syncing your iPhone with iTunes when logged in to your iTunes account.

and if i let my computer overwrite everthing on the iphone, allowing me to add my own songs,apps, etc. will i need some sort of password to do so? or can i just start adding, because i dont want to use it as a phone, just an ipod.
