Itunes + Iphone help

[riz]

My Mums Iphone has her music on it. I reinstall windows on my PC. I then forgot to back up her itunes music.

When i start itunes and connect her IRingAdingDing, is it possible to sync her music on her Iphone back onto Itunes?

At present Itunes says it will wipe her music on her Iphone if i sync it.

All the tracks which were cd rips are in her Itunes Library.

Yeah you can, but you need a third party program to do it.

An i don't know what he name of the windows one is.

You can use Mediamonkey or sharepod to get the music off the phone. Then you have to add it to the iTunes library again afterwards.

Could try Sharepod. But I don't know if it works on an iPhone.

 

[Andy.]

It does, and it puts it into the iTunes library for you.

Sharepod works

theres quite a few guides on the internet if you have a search mate

Sharepod. Anapod. Senuti.

There's loads.

If you have all your track tags set up correctly and your library properly organised, you can actually do it through Windows without third party software.
You need to get Windows to detect the iPhone as a USB mass storage device.
Then perform a search of the device for media files. Copy and paste them into a folder on the PC. Doesn't matter that they aren't organised and the filenames are meaningless at this point.
Then configure iTunes to copy music files to your library, configure your library location and set it to automatically keep the library organised. Also configure it to download album art and track tags automatically just in case any are missing or can't be read (happens sometimes).
You can then import the folder from your PC into your music library and iTunes "should" sort it out for you. Then simply re-sync the phone.

That said, SharePod is a simpler and safer option.
