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 favor.

It's true that you can use the iTune application to creat a backup file of iPhone data. But there are some disadvantages of using iTunes as it conducts the process very slowly and also doesn't ensure complete backup file creation. Instead of using iTunes it is recommended to use a third party iPhone backup software that ensure secure an complete backup creation of iPhone data. This tool backup all iPhone data including contacts, emails, tasks, sms, and several other essential data. In case if you meet data loss situation then use iPhone data recovery software to recover the lost data.

First, many many Congratulations!!! You have brought new mac and if you want to sync or backup your iPhone contents without risk of erasing data from iPhone then you will need to use iPhone backup tool. The software creates backup of iPhone data like contact, calendar, apps, notes etc and you can also restore your iphone from the backup.

In order to backup iPhone content into your computer, you have to synchronize your iPhone and for doing usually iTunes application is used. But sometimes, it left the user in the middle of backup process with some unknown formats of error messages. In such scenario when iTunes fails to backup contents of iPhone, you can make use of a third party iPhone backup tool.

If you are using iPhone and want to sync the iPhone with Mac laptop or PC then use the genuine sync tool of iPhone i.e iTunes, it is the best tool which is used to sync your data with Mac, but you should take certain precaution if you are using iTunes, there are many people doesn't finding safe as you may suffer form permanent data loss due to lack of knowledge, so it is better you take backup of iPhone using third party software and do as much experiment with iTunes to Sync your data with your Mac tab.
