[QUOTE="MightyGem, post: 1813902, member: 180699"] If you have music on your iPhones/iPad, [B]DO NOT[/B] sync with a copy of iTunes that does not have any music. You will clear your devices of their music. I don't know how AnyTrans works but ideally you need to move any music onto your Mac, import it into iTunes and then sync your devices to put the music back on them. Starting up iTunes on your Mac should automatically create a new Library if there isn't one. You then just need to login with your Apple ID to access your account. Regarding your external drive, are you sure that it's the drive and not the enclosure/power supply that has failed. Could you put the actual drive into a new enclosure? [/QUOTE]
