Hi Chris,
So will the Mac give me a choice as to how to handle the data on my phone?
I've been putting off syncing them, because I'm concerned that the Mac will
delete everything on my phone. Is this true?
Thanks,
Donna

The first time you sync an iPhone or iPod with a computer it sets up
the relationship between the two devices. When you try to sync the
handheld with another computer it will tell you that it can only be
attached to one library and ask if you want to switch.
