Description
Since I am pretty damn disappointed in my iPhone (thanks to Apple, who took my freedom), I decided, although it hurt, to put aside this infernal machine and switch to a Samsung Galaxy ACE. Imagine how desperate I was!
But first I had to copy over my stuff! Let’s start with the music…
It’s really easy, just follow this the next thousand steps!
Procedure
- Install Apple Developer Tools
- Install MacPorts (http://www.macports.org)
- Install sshfs
($ sudo port -v install sshfs)
- Jailbrake your iPhone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04zUl-zZnXk)
- mount your iPhone using sshfs, asuming your iPhone has IP: 192.168.1.12
($ mkdir /Volumes/iPhone; sudo sshfs root@192.168.1.12:/ /Volumes/iPhone)
- Create a temporary directory for your Music
(mkdir ~/Desktop/mp3s)
- Copy your precious music
(cp -v `find /Volumes/iPhone/private/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Music -iname \*\.mp3` ~/Desktop/mp3s/.
- Install WinAmp for OS X (download here)
- Connect your Galaxy ACE to your Mac using USB
- Make the MicroSD-card available for writing on your ACE
(if everything goes well, your WinAmp will see the SD-card as a storage-medium)
- Import your Music (from ~/Desktop/mps3s) in WinAmp
- Select all the Music, right click and select “Send selection to Devices:ACE”
(or whatever you called your microSD-card)
And that’s all! 🙂
