iPhone help wanted

[MuddyMike]

My PC Hard drive died a while back and I lost the backup data for my iPhone. I now have a new setup and want to save all that's on my iPhone to the new drive. When I select "Sync mucic" in iTunes I get a message saying "all existing songs on the iPhone will be replaced with those on the PC" there are only few on the PC. What I want is to transfer those on the iPhone to the new drive in the PC.

The same applies to my contacts. I have carefully organised all my contacts on the iPhone and want to use that contact list on the PC, but how?

My daughter thinks you are in trouble it's likely to wipe it.

Try clicking file when the phone is connected you might be able to copy to disc but if not synced it's unlikely.

Have you tried contacting Apple.

Good luck

for your music, load "senuti" on your computer (itunes backwards) this will then let you load all your music on your phone to your computer.

could you not load all your contacts to your sim card first ?

how dead is the hdd?

I've used test disk to get data from a hdd that wouldn't work.

Or if its just corrupted OS you can connect to another pc with the hdd as  a  slave drive.

Its dead. My son tested it for me on some fancy kit they have at work. It has since been sent back to seagate and replaced under warranty. Cheeky [!Expletive Deleted!] wanted over
