How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old computer?

How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old Hewitt packard computer?
Thought by connecting my phone to computer it would automatically duplicate. Only seems to work with a small amount of music which I downloaded through my mac
Im no expert with computers so need some step by step advice
I have over 1000 songs on my iphone and want to back it up on my mac itunes
Want to upgrade my iphone and dont want to loose my music and ideally want to import it onto my new iphone
Need help?

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    Hi, susiebroll.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    You will need to reset your old Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below to transfer your purchases from your old Apple ID to your Mac.  If you do not have access to the email account or are not receiving the password reset link, see the second article.

    It's a good idea to backup your Mac Address Book application and iCal Calendars application from each application. This way you can go back and pull out items if you lose something. I do this everyday.

    How do I sync my contacts from my iPhone to my Mac using iTunes 11?

    I ran into this same issue this morning and from what I read within the Apple Communities, the only way to now sync is to use iCloud. 
    I set this up afterward and it seems to work. 
    Make sure you choose your calendar's under the iCloud secition of your calandar's.

  • How do I sync the music from my iPhone to iTunes on my mac?

    I got a new macbook and I can't sync the music from my iPhone to iTunes.. How do i do that?

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

    Any one faced this issue and solved, Please advice.

    If you want your contacts to remain in sync across iOS devices, then you can use any Exchange-type of account.  For example, once you have a "clean" set of contacts with no duplicates, you could upload that into iCloud so that any change you make from your iPad would be reflected on your iPhone.  You don't have to use iCloud for e-mail since your devices can pull a contact from iCloud for use with GMail or Yahoo.
    But you can also set GMail up as an Exchange account if you don't want to use iCloud.  The GMail account type in iOS is not Exchange, but you can set it up that way:
    http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?l=en&topic=14252&answer=138740
    The benefit of doing this is (a) your Google contacts remain in sync across all your devices, and (b) your GMail will then support Push notification.  Just one caveat, when you do this then the default behavior when you delete an e-mail is such that it is archived to your "All Mail" folder in GMail.  The only way to change this behavior is to use your device's Safari to navigate to m.google.com/sync and change the setting on Google's server for each of your devices.  This is a one-time thing, but important if you want trashed e-mails to really go to Trash.
    As far as Contact Management Software options to clean things up, Google search is the only recommendation I have

  • I just got a new mac book pro and i was wondering how i can sync my music from my phone to my mac book

    my music on my phone to my mac

    If you still have access to your Old Computer... And to have  EVERYTHING  as it is Now...
    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Full Details Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

    Hi RaulRod,
    Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
    Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

    - You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
    go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

    Syncing with iTunes
    Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPhone, and vice versa. You can
    sync by connecting iPhone to your computer, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly with
    Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync music, photos, videos, podcasts, apps, and more. For information
    about syncing iPhone with your computer, open iTunes, then choose iTunes Help from the
    Help menu.
    Set up wireless iTunes syncing: Connect iPhone to your computer. In iTunes on the computer,
    select your iPhone (under Devices), click Summary, then turn on “Sync over Wi-Fi connection.”
    When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPhone syncs every day. iPhone must be connected to a power
    source, iPhone and your computer must both be on the same wireless network, and iTunes must
    be open on your computer. For more information, see iTunes Wi-Fi Sync on page 136.
    Tips for syncing with iTunes
    • If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes, don’t also sync them
    to your device using iTunes.
    • Purchases you make from the iTunes Store or the App Store on iPhone are synced back to your
    iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and apps from the iTunes Store on
    your computer, and then sync them to iPhone.
    • In the device’s Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync when your device is
    attached to your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and
    Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar.
    • In the device’s Summary pane, select “Encrypt iPhone backup” if you want to encrypt the
    information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are
    indicated by a lock icon  , and a separate password is required to restore the backup. If you
    don’t select this option, other passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in
    the backup and will have to be reentered if you use the backup to restore the device.
    • In the device’s Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from
    your computer to iPhone. Changes you make to an email account on iPhone don’t affect the
    account on your computer.
    • In the device’s Info pane, click Advanced to select options to let you replace the information on
    iPhone with the information from your computer during the next sync.
    • If you listen to part of a podcast or audiobook, the place you left off is included if you sync
    the content with iTunes. If you started listening on iPhone, you can pick up where you left off
    using iTunes on your computer—or vice versa.
    • In the device’s Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a folder on your computer.
