Windows 10: iTunes/Music backup

Before I do a clean install of Windows 10, I would like to know how to back up any music which isn't covered by my iTunes Match subscription. I know that I shall be able to bring in most of my music and I have backed up the ring tones which I have created to a thumb drive. I am really concerned about the CDs I have added to iTunes but have since given away.

Windows 10 and itunes

My IPhone will no longer be available to synch in iTunes. I can't update my music or backup my phone.

 

N900 using PCSuite Questions...

I decided to go with PC Suite for Sync. I think it's a great program (I have never owned a Nokia.) PC Suite does say it is not fully compatible yet with N900. For sync though I have had no trouble. I noticed the backup feature didn't work - it thinks
my phone is not connected. But the N900 does have a"Backup feature" on it. So I am guessing I can just backup the N900 using the N900 and then plug it into the computer and read it as a mass storage device - and copy the backup information onto the computer.
That should work for backup/restore until they give an update to the program. Is that what others are doing here?



As for music... I don't know what t do. There is Media Sync for Blackberry which will transfer iTunes (not purchased iTunes unless you unlocked yours (which I did) it will transfer your iTunes play lists onto your Blackberry.



Is there something that will get music in the iTunes format onto the N900 - or will I have to convert my music files?



Thanks,

Sandy

 

Copy the iTunes folder (it's inside of the Music folder) to your thumbdrive. After you have clean installed, copy iTunes folder of your thumbdrive into the music folder of your clean install. Download iTunes from apple and install it and you will be all set. The iTunes folder contains all the music, books, apps, etc. found when you open iTunes.

 

That went well up to a point. I got my music back into iTunes. I had also copied my audiobooks to the thumb drive and back but when I go into iTunes and try to add the folder containing the audiobooks, it fails to do so.

Any solution, please?

 

If the audio books were already in iTunes they should still be there. You can add files ( books) by clicking on "my books" tab and then clicking on the top left button to open a menu. About half way down is "add file to library". that should import a book at a time. Apple does have a decent support page.iTunes - Apple Support. Good luck.
