You'll need a separate program for the music. Google "iPod to iTunes" and there's loads of free software.

For the pictures. Probably the same thing but I'm not sure.

Why didn't you back things up before you sold your laptop?

I have a similar question:

Without a backup for your iTunes library that was on your PC and for any photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your PC, transferring any iTunes content and photos from your new Mac or from any new computer will erase all iTunes content and photos from your iPhone that were transferred from your old PC. Not all information on your iPhone will be erased when doing so, just iTunes content and photos that were transferred from your PC.

Is the above correct? If I plug my iPhone into a new MacBook will it just erase songs etc, not messages/contacts?

^ this is true mate you have to get programs to take your stuff off your iPhone/ipod/ipad to a new computer

That's alright. I'm not arsed about losing songs/apps. Just my contacts/messages I'm bothered about.
