Generally speaking, your iPhone is only supposed to sync with one computer. If you try to add music to your iPhone from another computer, a pop-up window will come out, warning you that your data on your iPhone will be erased with the new content from another computer. If you click 'Yes', then you can transfer the songs from the computer to your iPhone. But at the same time, you will lose all songs, videos, as well as books from your iPhone.
