I have brought a new mac and would like to sync my iPhone content with the new mac
(i.e. contact, calendar, apps and etc..) As the the first sync will erase all contents from
my iPhone, is there any way to avoid it. If the iPhone backup has been performed on the
old PC, can I restore all the content from the backup if the content was erased during
sync with the new mac. Please advise. ​
 
Log-in in to your iTunes account on your new Mac and then sync as normal. You'll be asked if you want to copy stuff from your iPhone to Mac (which you probably want to do) and then you should be able to continue as normal. Remember to authorize your new Mac with your iTunes account as well.Bebides there is a step by step instruction on how to transfer or backup iPhone contents to Mac.
Hope it can do you a favo

The first sync will ASK you if you wish to merge your iPhone calendars and address book with your Mac's data.

Also, before you actually sync, you can use the "File" --> "Transfer purchases from christine's iPhone" command to transfer all your apps and purchased music into iTunes. You will need to activate the iTunes account on the computer (use the "Store" menu) before you can do so, though.

For creating a backup of the entire data stored on the iPhone you need to use an efficient and reliable third party iPhone backup software that can not only create a backup of the data but also avoid any data loss situations due to loss or damage to the iPhone.
