Syncing iPhone with new computer (W/Out erasing content)

My iPhone is synced with an old computer. I no longer use this computer (but I do still have access to it).

My new computer is authorized and I've transfered all the purchases.

I need to sync my new music (uploads from CDs, not purchases), however, I keep getting this message.

Is there a way to begin syncing with my new computer without replacing all the content? And by content, does it just mean apps and music (things I can back up through iTunes) or does thay include things like pictures?

iPhone 4S, iOS 7

The iPhone is not a storage or backup device.

Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or the backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

Copy any pictures or videos that are synced to the device from the old computer to the new computer.

If syncing contacts, calendars, notes, etc to a supported application on the computer, copy them from the old computer to the new computer.

Connect the device to the new computer, sync.
