Upgrade to Windows 7 has caused issues!

[flew21]

Hi all...
I just upgraded my OS to Windows 7 - clean install - and of course part of this was to reinstall iTunes. (this meant recategorising all music, movies etc in it as well).
When I plug in my iPhone now it threatens to overwrite the data on the phone with the data on the computer. How can i do it the other way round as this presumably would mean losing all my aps and music etc.
What I want is for the computer to recognise and sync with the phone, not the phone sync with the computer!?!??!?

Can i do this or not??

Thanks for any advice.

You can't sync in that direction easily.

There are ways of taking the unsorted music collection off the iPhone - you'd need to jailbreak and use OpenSSH for example - then using iTunes to catagorise and arrange the data.

If you've already got the mp3s on your hard drive (I assume you have) then you're better off starting a new library and syncing it.
