Buying a new computer and the subsequent transfer iTunes library on it - a fairly simple task, but what if you lost the data itself? Fortunately, there are ways to copy all the data that is left on your iPhone, the iTunes library.
Transfer music and video
Restore songs purchased in iTunes, it is very easy, but with not so easy the rest of the content. To return to your favorite music and videos back valuable in iTunes, you can use special tools, depending on the operating system on your computer. Windows users should pay attention to SharePodWhich is able to transfer music, videos and even ringtones back to iTunes. Mac users can be advised SenutiBut it is worth considering that the transfer of more than 1000 tracks will need the paid version if necessary, which will cost $ 18.99, but you can try and performance older version of, Which is distributed free of charge.
After the music, videos and playlists successfully returned to the computer, you can restore the synchronization with a smartphone. To do this, connect the iPhone to your computer, click on it in the iTunes sidebar and go in the Music tab. Mark item «Sync Music», and all our music is synchronized again. If necessary, repeat the same process for the video.
Porting applications to iTunes
Another problem (for many it is often even more relevant than music and video) is that when you try to synchronize iTunes tells the application that all existing applications and their data will be replaced by application of current library. It is obvious that such an option does not suit us, so we do this:
- Connect the iPhone to your computer, and then in the sidebar, select «Transfer Purchases» from the drop down menu. This option not only will transfer purchased music, but also all the applications purchased from the App Store.
- Wait until the process is complete porting of the iPhone in iTunes.
- It remains to click on the iPhone in the sidebar, go to the «Apps» and select the «Sync Apps». Do not pay attention to the warning about the replacement of applications, all of your documents and other data will remain intact.
The only drawback of this manipulation is to return all the application icons on the home screen, so it will have to arrange and sort them again.
