Hi All,

I'm relaying this request for help for a friend. She's accidentally deleted some movie files from iTunes on her computer, but she still has them on her iPhone (which she hasn't sync'ed yet, knowing that the phone's copies would normally be erased to match the computer).

She'd like to restore them from the iPhone to the computer, can this be done?

Many thanks in advance for any help,

Chas

Yes, it can be done with various utilities. I'm trying to find which one I used with good results, but I'm sure you can search around and find a decent one.

Edit: I found the utility I used. It's by Macroplant (the most notable software maker of its kind). I was very impressed when I had to use it and registered immediately.

Thanks for that, much appreciated.

I found a few out there (before I posted), but none really seemed to do what she needs (she's quite Mac-savvy, but she's never had to deal with this issue before).

If you do find that one utility that did it for you, I'd very much appreciate a pointer.

Cheers!

Chas

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned Macroplant software is the way to go for that kind of need.

Can you email iMovie files?
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

Thanks Big Mac, I've forwarded her to the Macroplant website (software looks good).

@Waragainstsleep, I'm afraid I don't know.

Cheers!

Chas
