I've had my iphone for a while and am just now connecting it to itunes to load music. I've got SMS, apps and photos on it already. When I connect to iTunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from backuo (no backups).
If I set it up as new will iTunes erase the apps, SMS, and photos?
iPhone 4, Windows Vista
Set up as a new device won't change any data on the iPhone, it is simply the alternate choice to restoring from a backup, which you won't want to do on a new computer. If your phone has never been synced with another library then set up as a new iPhone is all you need to do. If it has been synced with another library in the past then either copy that library to the current computer or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

You have responded to a question that was asked 2 1/2 years ago.
I imagine that the OP has found an answer by now.
*psst* doesn't work the way you're describing, next time you should try it first 🙂
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! I am trying to put music on my dad's phone that he uses for work and I would be so dead if I erased all of the data!
I'Ve choose restore back-up and now all my pictures is gone. And all the photos on my old iphone is restored in my new iphone. Can i retrieve the photos? Please please help.
I deeply appreciate the information that was shared too! This has allowed me to heave a big sigh of relief! Thanks!!
Thanks. I've been using Macs since OS 7.1 and don't think this was a silly question at all. It helped me very much.
As many have said: there are no silly questions, just silly answers.
Brilliant - many thanks for this helpful answer. Best wishes.
You're welcome. 🙂
