Dear All

My very old PC has finally died, and my new one on its way.

Is it possible to copy all my data from my iphone4s onto the new mac ?

As all my videos and songs and apps are now only available on my iphone ?

Do you know what part of your PC failed?  If the hard disk is ok, you are better off removing it, putting it in a USB caddy and recovering your iTunes library and mobilesync backup folder.  If this is something you think you would like to do, I can explain further.

Ah, that sucks.  Well you can download the sharepod program on to your new PC, that will allow you to download the music from your iPhone.  The downside to this method is that afterwards you will need to re-sync your phone with iTunes and start from scratch.  You may be able to backup the iPhone to iCloud and then restore from iCloud within iTunes.

Hi Paul thanks once again, the downside about the re-sync is brutal but its my own fault for using my iphone as an itunes

back-up ? My uncle has a mac is there any easier way apple to apple ? As Im sure I could use his mac if needed.
