My iPhone started having problems once it got pretty full. *Running sluggishly, taking a while to open the camera if I'd recorded video, slow to switch between webpages in Safari.Clearing the safari cache then restarting the iPhone seemed to solve this when it happened but I didn't realise how messed up it REALLY was till recently when it started taking several minutes to get past the apple logo after turning it back on.
I went into the O2 shop to ask for advice and was told I just needed to update iTunes because it's only prompting me to update the iOS on the phone.
This wasn't the case at all!
I have 4 songs on my iPhone that arn't synced with iTunes and I've heard Apple have a shady policy of only allowing you to re-download purchased Apps, not Music or Video so even email receipts are worthless.
Not to mention countless bookmarks, notes, callendar entries, updated phone numbers etc...
I'm on Leopard 10.5.8 and updated to the latest Quicktime and iTunes by using a virtual pendrive app I have called "Folders Pro" to send the downloaded files to my mac with WiFi and then update them.
The backup I have of "John's iPhone" which it USED to be called is dated 25/06/2010 and shares the same serial number as my iPhone (obviously).
iTunes comes up with an error when I click "manually manage music" and warns me that the iPhone "iPhone" is synced with another library and only offers the option of erase and sync even though it displays exactly the same serial number
I won't have Internet activated till tomorrow so I don't want to risk syncing anything till then incase it needs my mac to be online to authorise the iPhone.
I had Internet at my old flat and I use the iPhone so much for just idle browsing, facebook etc... that I've not had Internet or even a phone line activated at my new one since I moved here last December. *My broadband will be active by tomorrow!
Is there a PowerPC compatable application that will let me rip the entire contents of my iPhone to recover the tunes?
Is this a common problem if you don't sync to iTunes often?
I usually charge the iPhone off my logitech clock/speakers or the wall charger it came with.
I'm not remotely satisfied that a device can simply crash then lose all connection to the iTunes library it USED to be synced with!
