Scared to sync my iPhone with iTunes after computer crash

Hi - my computer crashed and I had to reinstall iTunes.  I used a program and recovered all of my music and apps from my iPhone 4S and then added a few new music files.  I'd like to sync my phone with iTunes to get these new music files on it (they are from a CD, not an iTunes purchase).  I'm afraid that when I sync, it will erase all of my pictures since there aren't any pictures on iTunes.  How can I be sure this won't happen?  I want to use iTunes for syncing and back up but I'm scared to, because it might erase everything.  I have already checked off the "do not automatically sync."  But once I press that sync button, what might happen to my pictures? 
Help and thanks!!!

What photos? If they are in your phone's camera Roll transfer then to the computer by

If they were synced to the hone from the computer then you need a third-party program like PhoneView.

  • HT1766 How do I get my music from my iphone to itunes after computer crash and lost previous itunes library?

    My computer crashed and I lost iTunes library and all playlists from computer.  Now I have a lot of music that I want to save to iTunes and cannot.  Additionally, I cannot add new songs without erasing the entire library from my phone.  HELP!!!

    Restore the iTunes library from the backups you were keeping regularly of your computer.

  • HT1386 After I synced my iphone with itunes, all my contacts disappeared, and I cannot find them.  Need help!!

    After I synced my iphone with itunes, all my contacts disappeared, and I cannot find them.

    You don't.
    You synced your iPhone with iTunes for the first time after how long?
    And this didn't happen by syncing only. This means you transferred the backup for another iPhone or you restored the iPhone with iTunes. It is not possible for everything to be lost by syncing alone. All iTunes content on your iPhone can be lost but not any photos in the Camera Roll and the same for contacts unless you synced contacts with an empty address book application on your computer.

    So, what i need to is
    1. Check my iphone backup first if avaiable
    2. Do ' restore ' my iphone at itunes
    Is it correct?
    After i do all of this, what is the next step? Is it
    1. Just plug in back my iphone and itunes will automatically sync asking to use a backup ipnone?
    Or need to do manually?
    Make me confuse is, if i do all the step as previous mention, but pc still recognize my iphone as a ipod everytime i plug in into itunes.
    How if i in pc dont have my iphone backup ? Because since first time plug in into itunes, i was used the ipod backup?
    Sorry to ask too much since i really need help from your guys

    You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • I can not sync my iphone with Itunes 5c

    took several days trying to sync my iphone with itunes and I can not ...... When I connect the iphone itunes does not recognize it and after a few minutes a message appears Error

    What's the full error message that you are getting (and is this on your computer or phone ?), and are you using a PC or a Mac - and is your computer's operating system and iTunes up-to-date ?
    There is some troubleshooting for a device not showing in iTunes on these pages :
    PC : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Mac : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    If they don't fix it then you might be better off asking in the iTunes For Mac or iTunes For Windows forum on here (this forum is for questions about the iTunes store).

    How do I sync my iphone with itunes without losing everything on my phone?

    Normally, you should be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes without losing anything
    What can happen is that you might have emptied your iTunes library for any reason such as a system restore

  • Can i use multiple computers to sync my Iphone with itunes?

    Can I use a different computer to sync my Iphone with itunes since my laptop crashed?

    No. TM is machine specific and is not ideal for syncing machines. You need syncing software or MobileMe. MobileMe has a 2 month free trial. Oh, cloning software of specific files may work as well depending on what you are syncing.

    I have changed my apple id, and its ok when i sync my Iphone with Itunes, but ON my Iphone still my old apple-ID is there. I can NOT buy things from Itunes or Upgrade anything now, how to fix this?

    I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices. 

  • I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but  over 3 quarters of my music is missing.

    I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but over 3 quarters of my music is missing. It seems that only the songs downloaded on itunes in the last 6 - 9 months have transferred. How can I get the rest of it to sync?

    You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You will probably get better help by posting in the Using iPhone forum.

  • 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

    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.
