Hello James, The dilemma you face stems from the fact that Apple never intended iPod to be a stand-alone device capable of managing its own content. As a result, currently, to my knowledge, one cannot force iTunes to accept the media structure and/or content from an iOS device.
This means that you will need to import the media content and perhaps even its structure using a third-party application. Now, I don't know if you're using Windows or the Mac but if you're using the Mac, I highly recommend a VoiceOver accessible product called Senuti. Senuti is simply iTunes spelled backwards. This is not a free application but it is well worth the money, in my opinion. If you are a Windows user, perhaps someone else can make a good recommendation as I have yet to find a Windows application that I would recommend.

Hi, I thought I would ask because someone might know and an experiment here gone wrong would cost lots of time and frustration. I have my 4s configured with apps and folders and data how I want it. It is backed up to ICloud. If I wish to bring this phone into ITunes, Itunes has never gotten its hands on this phone yet, what do I do so it doesn't trash everything I have on it and how I have it configured? Is set up as new device what I want here or is it exactly what I don't want? Can someone tell me the steps to connect it to ITunes and have ITunes play nice with it? My only reason really is to be able to use ITunes file sharing in an app. I think to myself, there has to be a way to tell ITunes to just accept this phone as is and don't think you have to trash and reconfigure it in any way, right? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
