1 iPhone 2 iTunes?

Ok, sorry if this has been covered. I have iTunes installed on my home PC. However I wish to put it on my work PC. I do not wish to loose all my data on my iPhone if I connect it up to my work PC. is it as simple as downloading and installing iTunes on my work PC, logging in as normally and connecting up my iPhone? or will it delete all my music and sync it to my "blank" work iTunes?

Thanks

Think it asks you if you wish to sync with your other computer and warn you if you do that it will wipe it clean as it will only sync to one computer. My Ipod does the same I sync it with my laptop but i can still plug it into other computers with Itunes and charge it or use it as a HDD.

You can sync the addressbook, bookmarks etc without wiping the iPhone on more than one machine. I think it's just the apps, movies, pics and songs you can only have to one machine.

You can hax iTunes on your work computer so that it has the same serial as your home library.

If you replace the iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml files in the iTunes library on your work machine with the ones from your home machine, as well as the iPodDevices.xml file at C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes then you should be able to sync with both computers. I have this setup for mine and I can certainly access my iPhones music library from iTunes at work, but I haven't tried a full sync yet. If it does go wrong and wipe it you should be able to restore it from your home machine.
