I have music on my iPhone that I want to transfer to my computer iTunes library

My laptop died and with it went my old iTunes library which included many albums I had uploaded into iTunes from CDs purchased the old fashioned way, at a music store.  When I backed up my iPhone 4S to my iTunes library on my new computer only the music originally purchased through Apple appeared.  My iPhone 4S still has all this music on it and I would like to transfer it from the phone to my library so I can put it on my new iPhone 6.
I am wary of doing any more synching because I am afraid the old music on my phone will disappear.  Can anyone shed some light on how I might be able to do this?  Thanks in advance, hope my question is clear.  I wish that the synching process included the simple ability to transfer specific stuff (e.g. drag and drop) from one device to the other.

I downloaded CopyTrans.  Still just learning my way around it but already transferred all my music from my phone to my computer very easily.  Seems like a good program.  I paid $29 for the full package.

  • I have music on my iPhone that is not on my Mac iTunes.  How do I transfer from the iPhone to the Mac?

    I had an incomplete backup of my music on an external hard drive.  I had to have my hard drive replaced.  I now have music on my iPhone that is not on my MacBook Pro.  It is music that was not purchased from the iTunes store, but it was uploaded from a CD (which I no longer have).  How can I transfer music from my iPhone to my MacBook?

  • I have music on my iPhone that is not on my iTunes (mac)

    I have music on my iPhone that is not on my iTunes (mac). I have unchecked all music and synced so iTunes doesn't see the music but when I go to my phone music is still there. The phone is running out of memory when I try to update apps due to this.
    There appears to be about 3GB of music on my iPhone I cant remove

    Purchased content from iTunes? If so, your phone connected, iTunes running: File>Transfer Purchases. Or, you can delete the music directly on your phone: swipe left-to-right across the song/album, hit "Delete".

  • HT1420 I have an old iphone 3G with 1900 songs and pictures that I want to put in my current itunes library, so they will sync in to my new iphone 5s.

    I have an old iphone 3G with 1900 songs and pictures that I want to put in my current itunes library, so they will sync in to my new iphone 5s.  How can I transfer this info into my new library?
    Thanks

    You can transfer the purchases you made on your old iPhone 3 by plugging it in to iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from your IPhone to the iTunes on your computer.  This will get music you purchased in iTunes, apps, etc.  (e.g., movies).
    But for the rest you would need to restore a backup of your newly deceased computer.

  • Why does itunes say that i have music on my iphone that i do not?

    Hi,
    Wondering if anyone can help with this, its really doing my head in.
    Until now, I've always deleted songs off my iphone using itunes on my pc. With the new ios and itunes update, I'm no longer able to do this.
    The one thing that is annoying me the most is when connecting my iphone to my pc, I select my iphone and then On This Iphone. For some reason, its showing me songs that I don't have on my phone. There is no way for me to delete this information. I've checked my actual phone and the songs listed aren't actually on the phone but I was wondering if anyone could tell me why its telling me I have music that I don't.
    Any suggestions?
    Can anyone also tell me if there is a way to use itunes on my pc to delete songs off my iphone? Yes I know you can do it directly via the device but I want to know via itunes on a pc.
    Thanks!

    Yes, I also have an edit button.  I'm trying to create a new folder with a name of my choosing.  When I choose edit, I go to a screen that allows me to add one of a number of pre-named folders.  There is no way to add my own.
    When I look up how to do it online, what I get are great instructions with screen shots that don't look like what I have on my iPhone.  There are also bars on the top and bottom of these screen shots that I don't have   I clearly do not have the same version.

    Here's the information related to transferring music:

    Download your content through iTunes in the Cloud1.
    Download your content through iTunes Match2.

  • HT1727 I have iTunes music on my iPhone and I want to transfer the music to my iPod.  But my phone uses a different iTunes account than my old iPod.  How can I move music on my phone to my iPod?  Thank you.

    I have an old iPod that has a different Apple ID than my iPhone.  How can I put all the music on my iPod and get it off my phone?  I'm not sure how to mix the music from two different apple id's.

    Hi KathySA,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can sync songs to your iPod from your iTunes library on a computer. You may need to authorize the computer with both of your Apple IDs:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    If some music from the iTunes Store is only on your iPhone, you can transfer purchases to the computer:

  • I have apps on my iPhone that I want to delete but do not want them deleted from my iPad.  How do I know which ones are iPhone specific?

    In order to save using data when traveling I want to delete apps from my iPhone that I don't need.  However I do want these apps on my iPad and with the new IOS8.0.2 and Yosemite I think they are all now integrated so that if I delete from one device it is deleted from all and if I add to one device it is added to all.  Is this correct?
    1.  How can I tell which apps are specific to iPhone and which are specific to iPad?
    2.  How can I tell how much data is being used per app?
    3.  How can I tell if an app is running in the background?
    4.  When I turn off cellular data does that limit the app from functioning always or just restrict it to wi-fi?
    5.  Do I benefit from having Bluetooth on if I don't use a head phone or other device?
    6.  Is a Personal Hotspot more secure than using paid hotel wi-fi?

    Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
    You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
    1.  You don't need to.
    2.  Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
    3.  Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
    4.  It restricts it to Wifi.  If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
    5.  Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
    6.  The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say.  It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

  • I want to upload music to my iPhone, but it is synced to a dead computer. iTunes says that I can't add new music until I de-authorize the other comp (which I can't). Any suggestions?

    I've got a bunch of old music on my iPhone which would definitely be lost if I synced it with this new computer. Is there a way for Apple to not be so obnoxious and let me keep my rightfully owned music?

    You will have to upgrade your operating system version and possibly your whole computer.  We cannot provide more information easily until we know more about your system.
    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    Apple does tell you about required equipment for the iPhone -- in 8 point medium gray type on a light gray box.   The Store associates kind of automatically assume everybody is running a new model computer and the one I met when we bought our iPhone had never seen a pre-2008 Mac and was somewhat puzzled why anybody would own such an antique.

  • My wife wants my music on her iphone, how do I sync her phone with my itunes library without her losing all of her contacts?

    My wife wants my music on her iphone, i am worried about syncing her phone to my itunes and her losing all of her contacts.  Should I not be worried?  How should I proceed?

    She should not sync her phone to a different iTunes library.  Once solution is to set up Home Sharing, then in iTunes on her computer drag and drop the music from your library to hers. Then she can sync this music from her own iTunes library to her phone.  (She will need to authorize her computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase any purchased music in order to sync it to her phone.)  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620.

  • How do you delete songs from iphone5, that are not in your iTunes library on the computer?! I have the spot unchecked where it says show all music and I still have songs on my iPhone that I want gone, but they're not in my iTunes library...HELP

    I have a iPhone 5 with the most up to date software and I have songs appearing on my phone that I've deleted prior too from iTunes on the computer. How do I remove them from my phone, I've tried the left to right swipe and that just plays the songs! :/ Can anyone help me, I'd be forever grateful if I didn't have to go back to the store! I went I today abc he unchecked the show all music and there's still songs I don't want on my iPhone! :(

    The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

  • I have music on my iPhone that is not on my iTunes account - how do I transfer?

    After having to re-boot my PC, I unfortunately lost some of the music on my iTunes account. The songs are still able to be played on my iPhone but in the iTunes account, to the left of the tick box there is an exclamation mark, and when I click on the song to play it, a box comes up telling me that "the song can not be used because the original file could not be found." Is there any way of me being able to get the songs from my iPhone back onto my iTunes account? Please help! Thanks x

    You should not have lost songs with just a re-boot.  Search your hardrive for the songs... http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back UP
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
