[Closed] iphone/itunes on windows laptop - getting "old" ripped tunes back on
My wife has an iphone*
She also has a windows laptop - it's a new laptop that replaced her old windows laptop
Seems that when she set up itunes on the new one and then connected her phone to it, it synced over all her music that was purchased via itunes but has deleted all her ripped cd music from the phone.
This, clearly, is my fault and so I have to fix it
I've copied the music folder from the old laptop to the corresponding one in the new machine and have added them to the itunes library (I beilieve) but apparently that hasn't worked and the phone still can't see them - she says it gave an error message (didn't remember what) on first connecting
Anyone got any ideas ?
*(Yes, yes, it's drag & drop on android - I know 🙁 )
Sync original ripped iTunes account via the icloud? You may have to doiwnload the ripped tracks. Use Google music?
Ah, thanks for the reply
icloud - will she already have that as part of itunes or is it extra ?
I don't understand how the pc itunes, which now has all the songs in its folder & library, can't pass them on direct 🙁
False alarm - user error. Works fine 🙂

Thus is domestic bliss restored! 😀
ah, see, I may have let slip that it was a bloody doddle and a chimp could've sorted it 😳
