Q: Hard drive failure and how to get all music on iPhone onto new hard drive
The hard drive on my pc failed. Again. After installing a new SSD hard drive and downloading the latest version of iTunes onto the new drive, iTunes warned, before I chose to synch my iPhone to iTunes, that everything I have on my iPhone 6, with the current 9.2.1 iOS installed, will be deleted and only the files in this "new" iTunes will be available to symuch with my iPhone. I backed up to (the old and now dead) hard drive regularly. But all that is now irretrievably lost. The only place all of my music resides is on my iPhone 6. I don't want to lose all of the tracks that were stripped from CDs I own. I know anything bought from iTunes is always available. How do I copy the files (actually, music and photo files) FROM my iPhone TO the "new" iTunes loaded onto my new SSD hard drive? Please tell me there is a way to accomplish this.
iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1
