I'm sure this one has been asked many times, but how do I copy the music and videos that I've ripped that are on my iphone 3G to my new iphone 3GS? I've been manually managing my music and video files and they are not on my mac to begin with and unfortunately I am traveling now and not at home so I don't have access to the music and videos to just drag them over. Bottom line, how do I get the music and movies off of my old iphone and on my mac??

Any suggestions??
 
Xilisoft iPhone Transfer, an iPhone manager software, can act as the ideal iPhone transfer tool to backup iPhone music and video to PC, copy iPhone content to iTunes, and easily transfer files from computer to iPhone. With the iPhone transfer software, you can transfer music from iPhone to computer and transfer files from PC to iPhone with great ease.
 
I downloaded that program and tried it, and it really messed up my Mac. I'm not sure if it was in issue with my set-up, but I would advise against trying this software. The first time I ran it, it told me that something wasn't up to date and that I needed to restart my mac laptop. So I did and this program was the first thing I tried to run. When I plugged in the iphone, I just got the spinning wheel of death for about 3 minutes with nothing else. It was not responding, so I force quit the program and deleted it.
