Dont want to wipe my iPhone

I have recently been having problems with iTunes...it wouldnt open and there was several error messages. I have been able to fix this (with help from this site)
I am now running iTunes 10 and all my music and apps are there, it seems to be running as normal.
Now my question is that I havent synced my iPhone since June and Im worried that when I sync my iPhone the up to date info on my iPhone wont be transfered onto my iTunes.
I know technically iTunes should take the info from my iPhone and put it onto iTunes but Im worried that because Ive been having problems with my iTunes it will wipe my iPhone.
I have a back up on disk and wonder what the best step forward is.
Is there a way of 'testing the water' making sure that it wont delete my iPHone data.
Thanks

As long as you didn't reformat your hard drive and your iTunes library on your computer has not changed, there should be no problem.
If there is a problem and any iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased, you will be provided a warning message indicating this will occur which can be cancelled.

I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

The right way is to restore the backup that you kept of your old computer onto your new one. If it is too late for that before you do anything set up a backup process for the new one so when it crashes (note I said "when", not "if") you won't be faced with this problem again.
In lieu of that the apps already mentioned will help you get content off the phone if it was not purchased from iTunes. But it it WAS purchased from iTunes just connect the phone to your new computer, Authorize iTunes on the new computer and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes file menu.

I dont want to sync my iphone again

i just loose my half itunes library files on my windows pc, thats why i dont want to sync my iphone again couse if i do that i gonna loose the music that is in the phone, and is not on my pc, is there some way to copy or something like that media items on the phone to the pc so i can have my lost media back ?

I believe songs that you've purchased through iTunes can sync back to your computer. I know it's a capability with iPods, and I believe it's doable with the iPhone as well. I would suggest you call Apple though as they'll be able to tell you for certain if the Sync back option is available on the phone.

Turn it off or leave it on... just do not use it.
Sorry, I do not understand the question. Seems pretty obvious, if you do not want to use it, do not use it.
In the future, ask your questions in your native language.

I dont want to set my iphone up as a new phone, but i dont want to restore from my previous phone. help!

I bought a new iPhone 5 a few months ago, and havnet plugged it into my itunes until now, and I do not want to set it up as a new phone, because it will get rid of everything I already have on there, but I also dont want to restore from my last backup with my old iPhone 4. I want to add music that i have on my itunes, but i dont want to start over fresh. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Those are your only choices.
You should simply transfer everything from your iphone to your computer. Then you can sync it back.

I changed my i tunes username and password a while ago, but there are still remnants of the old one appearing. I now want to wipe my iPhone, but can't as it is logging me in with my old username, and asking for the old password, which i can't remember.

I changed my itunes username and password a while ago, but it still sometimes keeps popping up. I now want to erase my iphone, but i can't because it is asking me for my old password, which i can't remember. My old user name was an email address, however i no longer have the email address!! Help please community.

My daughter set the lock code for my second or first generation ipod and i dont know what numbers she pressed. The ipod was loaded on a pc in Texas, and i'm currently in Georgia. I have a laptop, but I dont want to wipe out all my music. HELP!!!

My daughter has interrupted business as usual because she decided to change the passcode on my ipod. This is a first or second generation nano maybe, and it was loaded on a pc in Texas. I dont want to lose the songs that my mom loaded for me because they're irretreivable. Could someone tell me the process to unlock my ipod from my laptop, but reserve my exsisting music?

Try connecting the iPod to the computer your normally sync it with. Then properly eject it. Upon doing so, you may discover that your iPod is unlocked. If it is, make sure to disable the Screen Lock or change the code to something you can remember.
Otherwise, if that doesn't work, your only option at that point is to restore the iPod via iTunes. And yes this will involve wiping all content and settings from the iPod. Afraid there is no other way.

If your worried about losing your pics/videos, you can restore from backup once the restore is done.

can anyone help me with a frozen iphone after update download, says its in restore mode. i do not want to loose my contact or info, how do I get my phone to work again????

When you say it's in "restore mode", what error message are you getting?

I cannot download the IOS 5 with Itunes to update my iphone 4. I dont want to restore the iphone because I am afraid that the itunes cannot download the ios 5 and then I will be with no iphone.

I cannot download the IOS 5 with Itunes. Always appear this message ( err= -3259) what can I do to solve this problem?

It's a connection timeout error. Google for a copy of iOS 5.0.1 and download it to your computer. Prepare to restore your iPhone but hold down Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) when clicking Restore to bring up an explorer where you can manually install iOS 5.0.1 on your device, since you do not require a full download from the Apple Servers other than to verify your iOS build being installed.

I want to delete my icloud account but i dont want to lose my contacts. how do i keep my contacts if i dont want icloud on my iphone anymore

please help now my brothers contacts has all of my contacts

First, turn off using iCloud for your contacts. Go to:
Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> (your iCloud account)
Switch "Contacts" to OFF.
You should get a dialog box asking you if you want to keep the contacts on the phone or not -- choose the option to keep them.
Now you can delete the iCloud account but retain the contact information.
