also the computer i want to use has an itunes acount on it and i dont wanna mess up that persons itunes.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPhone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this to back up manually:
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 phone 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

  • How can I sync my iphone to my home computer (to sync with itunes music) AND my work computer (to sync with Outlook calendar)?

    How can I sync my iphone to my home computer (to sync with itunes music) AND my work computer (to sync with Outlook calendar)?

    Sorry iphones are meant to be sync to one iTunes media library.
    You could copy your music and put it on your work computer and then sync it.
    If you try to sync to one and then sync to other its going to wipe the phone and remove the old sync with the new sync.

  • HT201363 I want to change the email address used as rescue email for my security questions. But I can't remember the answers to the security questions and I dont have access to the rescue email anymore. Please help.

    I want to change the email address used as rescue email for my security questions. But I can't remember the answers to the security questions and I dont have access to the rescue email anymore. Please help.

    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

  • How can I sync my iPhone music to my new Mac with out loosing my the music I already have in the phone?

    Bought a new Mac and iTunes won't let me sync new music to my phone because I used to sync it in my old Mac.  How can I sync with the new PC with out loosing the music I already have in my phone?

    Copy everything from your old computer to your new one then sync.
    Iphone will sync with one library/computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • How can i sync my iphone when my screen is smashed and i cannot type the passcode?

    i smashed the screen to my iphone 4 and i cant sync to my itunes because it keeps asking for my passcode, which i cant type because my touch pad won't work. i need to erase my phone of all my info before i sell it, how can i go about doing this if i cannot connect it to my itunes? even if i can erase it without connecting to my itunes, i'd still like to recover some info so if anyone can help me sync my phone i'd be really grateful!

    When you sync an iPhone to the same computer it was last synced to it will not require the passcode. If you never synced it to any computer, or you don't have the last computer you synced to, you are out of luck.

  • Is there any way I can retrieve photos from my iphone 4 using a new computer (dont have access to the one its synced to) and the screen on the iphone is broken but the phone works? Help!

    I've broken the screen on my iphone 4 but it lights up so i know its still working, I synced it to a laptop I dont own anymore
    and my new laptop wont allow me access to the iphone even though it knows its an iphone and its plugged into the usb.
    I've some irreplacable pictures on the phone which i'm desperate not to lose so please help! or is my best bet
    sending the phone off to have the screen replaced?

    If these are photos that were synced to your phone, the only way to extract them from your phone is third-party software, like this:
