sorry if this topic has been discussed before! i've had no luck searching all day for a solution.
yesterday i backed up all of my personal files on to an external HD, and also synced my iphone. after that i used my original system OS install discs to refresh my macbook. i chose to erase all existing data and install fresh. the whole idea was to reduce the clutter that's built up and to change the name of the root user since i got the computer second-hand.
so i made an oversight, because now when i go to sync my iphone to the computer i'm afraid it's going to delete all of my contacts in the process (atleast i know it will do this to all the music files if i sync) just because the computer and phone don't recognize their relationship anymore.
is there any way i can sync again without losing my contact info on my phone? maybe i can somehow back the phone up as is before sync? i'm lost on this..
