Exclamation Syncing Calendar Events w/ iCal

Okay so I have a bunch of calendar events on my iPhone and I lost them the last time and I can't afford to lose them again because I don't have them written down anywhere else. I had to get a replacement iMac which means this application of iCal has nothing on it. How do I get my calendar events from the iPhone to iCal? Last time I did this I just went ahead and synced I believe and it synced a blank iCal and it really had me frustrated what do I need to do. Thanks in advance.

Also I have no music on the iPhone I am trying to get my music and pictures from new computer to the iPhone and it only gives me the option to "Erase and Sync" will this delete my SMS, Contacts, Email, etc? I am confused and don't wanna screw up again.

I have already created a backup that was the first thing I did when I plugged the phone into the new computer. Also I have all of my contacts backed up via Google&Address book on my new computer.

.....Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Usually when I would connect my phone to the computer iPhoto would ask me if I want to import but for some reason it did not do that this time so I wanna make sure that I have those things saved before I decide to sync.

What you do is sync your calendar on your phone with google using google sync. That will be considered your backup. As for photos, I do not know how many you have but try emailing them. Then export your google calendar into iCal format then import to ical then delete the google sync on your phone and sync with phone.

Isn't there away though that when you plug in your phone to the computer and open iPhoto you should be able to just import the camera roll for your iPhone to the iPhoto. Does neone know how to do this?

Last time it deleted everything for some reason I was probably because on the computer I have a blank iCal with no appointments. My phone is full with appointments I need to get those appointments from the phone to iCal.

Dude. Do you want me to hold your hand? Read my previous post about Google Sync.

You don't have to be smart about it. I would be fine if it was windows, I am new to this apple BS I didn't really understand your post I will read it again.
