Hello Cara, Did you find a solution to your problem?
I've given it some thought, and the first thing that comes to mind is that you may want to copy all of your media to your MacBook Air via a third party solution called Senuti. Now I haven't used it in 2 years or so but, back then, at least, it was completely VoiceOver accessible. Senuti, which is iTunes spelled backward, will see all of the media files on your iPHone, categorized in a tree view. So, as I once did, copy all of the media files to a folder on your Mac, then, sync your phone. This will erase the data but, then you can bring the data back via the latest version of iTunes. Of course, you will have to add the media to your iTunes Library but, rarely, does anything come without a price. This solution may seem a bit painful at first glance but I can tell you from personal experience that Senuti really saved the day for me back in the, Day; get it? (smile). Good Luck and let us know what happens.

A while ago I realized that all of my ring and text tones were no longer on my phone and I could not figure out why this was, since as I mention above, all my data should be in iCloud. Upon doing a bit of Googling, it appears that ring and text tones are not actually backed up along with all other phone data. Go figure. I guess a backup really isn’t a backup. Who would have thought. ;) Anyway, I do have all the tones on my computer but now I cannot find a way to get only these tones to copy back over to my phone. I.E. iTunes wants to erase my entire phone because it thinks my phone is synced with an ancient iTunes library that this phone has not synced with literally in years. Is there a way that I can sync only my ring and text tones and simply have all other data be left alone? The fact that this should even need to be asked regarding an Apple product in 2016 is really amazing to me. :) anyway, any help / suggestions anyone can offer will sure be greatly appreciated! Thanks all and have a good evening! Cheers!
