Contacts & SMS texts-Resyncing iPhone 4 with new Macbook

Question: Will I lose my Contacts and Text Messages currently on phone when re-syncing with Mac for the first time?
Background: I currently have an iPhone4 and a MacBook Pro. My phone was synced with my Pro and everything was fine. This weekend the hard drive on my Pro crashed and had to be replaced. After getting my computer back I began to get things back to where they were before the crash. I synced and backed up my iPhone daily before the crash, so all my music is on my iPhone After the replacement was installed, of course all that was gone off my computer, but still on my phone. I purchased a program called iRip 2.0 and transferred all my music from my phone back to iTunes. As far as music goes i am set and happy. I have the auto sync option turned off on my iTunes. I hooked my iphone to my computer for the first time after the replacement and backed up my iphone from how it was on the last sync and back up before the computer crashed. I've got my iTunes ready to resync with my iPhone for the first time with the new computer. When I do this is brings up that i will have to erase iPhone and replace it since the computer is new. Everything is in place to re-sync, but I am curious if I will lose my Contacts and Text messages currently on the phone once it re-syncs?

Sync iphone 4s with new macbook pro help needed

I have a new iPhone 4s and a new MacBook Pro.
I have synced the iPhone 4s with my old MacBook.
It won't now sync all of that data with my new MacBook Pro.
I do not want to transfer all data from my old computer to my new computer.
How can I move just iPhone 4s data?
I have tried iExplorer to try and get the data directly from the phone,
but I am not tech savvy to put the info. in the right folders of itunes, etc.
Any step by step help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Why do I lose some of my contacts when syncing my iPhone 4 with my MacBook Pro?

If I connect my iPhone 4 to my MacBook Pro using the lead a few of the contacts on my phone are wiped, but not on my MacBook. Text messages etc are still on there but it just states the number it came from not the person's name. Why does it do this? Why does it only happen to a few numbers? What do I do to stop it?!
Many thanks.

i think is because when you snyc for the last time you doesnt save your informations on your computer and, for one reason your Macbook Pro dellect all the thing who was not saved.. (its happening to me and, the losted information never will be back.. i'm sorry..) :/

Change my iphone sync with new macbook pro

My MacpBook pro crashed and while it is being fixed i have bought a new one hoping i woulkd be able to get up and running quickly. I want to sync my iphone with my new itunes so i can get my itunes media back onto the new machine. however it tells me it cant sync because it is synced to a different computer (i.e my old one which is in for repair). Any ideas?

Perhaps it would be prudent to Invest in one...
Then after you have Used it to Move your iTunes Library...
You can Use it as your Time Machine Backup Drive with your New Mac...

It is my understanding that if you delete the account per the instructions below, you will be able recreate, but you will NOT have access to the prior BBM contacts.
Read this for full information and suggestions to regain access to your BBID >> http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-World/How-to-regain-access-to-your-BBID/td-p/25467...
You have to remember either the BlackBerryID password, or the secret question answer. Without either, you're stuck.
Your choices are:
--Use another email account to create an entirely new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to any purchased apps using the "forgotten" first BlackBerryID, or
--Find the initial email you were sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID, and in it is a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on that, delete the account and then you can use that same email to create an entirely new account.
Good luck.

If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty. Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

Read another post in the forum about this and it appears this app also installs a profile with a proxy service that you will have to try and delete as well. Check that out.
