Now that you have your library persistent id, you need to trick your installations of iTunes into thinking that that id is actually the id it has.

You will need to use a free web script to determine your persistent id from an ist file you upload. Unfortunately, the id is not plainly visible in the backup files.

Fortunately iTunes lets you perform backups without being synced, so you can backup an iPhone on any copy of iTunes. The trick is that you need to do a backup of your phone using iTunes and then dig into the backup files to find the persistent id.

Luckily there is a sneaky way to do this without having to jailbreak your phone. If you no longer have access to that previous installation (as was my case), you need to get the id from your iPhone itself.

Just search for the 'Library Persistent ID' tag. If you still have the original installation of iTunes that your iDevice is synced with, you can grab the persistent id from the 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file in your iTunes directory. There are a couple options here, depending on whether or not you have the original synced copy of iTunes still available. To do that, we first need to figure out what our phone's persistent id is. To get things working smoothly, we need to hack the installation of iTunes so that it thinks its id is the same as the one on our iPhone. The only thing standing in your way, however, is that darn persistent id. If you plug in an iPhone that has a different persistent id than the copy of iTunes installed on that computer, you will get the warning dialog shown above. iTunes generates a new id when it is installed (or more accurately, when it builds its library). This 16-digit hexadecimal id is stored on both the device and the computer it is paired with. Select the log of interest and then click the 'Save Log' button that appears at the top of the song list.The first thing to be aware of is that iTunes uses a unique 'Library Persistent ID' to identify the pairing of an iDevice to an installation of iTunes. You can save a list of the items present in a log to your computer for later reference without TouchCopy. To remove individual logs, select the log you want to remove and then click the 'Clear Error Log' button that appears at the top of the song list. To remove all log information from your iPod, click the 'Clear History' button at the bottom right of the TouchCopy window. The log information is retained when you disconnect your iPod from your computer. This means that TouchCopy can show you which songs are causing problems if you reconnect your iPod to TouchCopy at a later date. TouchCopy stores Log information on your iPod. You can then try and copy those tracks again into iTunes from the log list. For example, if three songs failed to copy to iTunes, those three tracks will be displayed when the 'Failed Copy To iTunes' log is selected.

The three logs that TouchCopy can create are 'Failed Copy to PC', 'Failed Copy to iTunes' and 'Failed to Play'.Д¬licking on one of the logs in the TouchCopy source list will display the tracks currently stored in those logs. If the error log does not currently exist - a log is created and added to the source list in TouchCopy under the Logs heading. When TouchCopy has a problem performing an operation on a particular song or video on your iPod, that item is automatically added to an error log.
