Cant get music from iphone to itunes

Title says it all really, I'm using an iphone 4 with windows 8. When I got the new computer and downloaded itunes I was missing my favorite album and it will not sync when I try to. Its still on my phone and if my phone is plugged in it will still play the album via itunes but it will not sync at all. I've tried the "make sure its checked" and I can't check anything. Everything else will sync except this one album which, before you ask, I bought off of itunes itself awhile back. How can I fix this annoying thing?
Also when I get to the sync menu it won't even display or recognize the album, like it doesnt exist.

Hello ibonner
It all depends on what type of media it is. If it is purchased content from the iTunes Store, then it will transfer. If it was something that was ripped from a cd and then copied to your iPhone, then it will not copy to iTunes. You can also download previous purchases as well.

  • How to get music from iphone into itunes library, that was not purchased via itunes??

    Hard drive crashed, I restored my itunes music from a backup, but the backup was not updated, I'm missing music that I have on my iphone playlist, this music I got from a friend, I didn't buy it from itunes. Question: How can I get this musica from the iphone into my itunes library???
    Thank's for the help!!!

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    You may be able to purchase a third party program ( not supported by Apple).

  • Cant remove music from iphone in itunes?

    I know there are similar questions but I cant find anyone having this problem. My iPhone 4, fully updated, has 94 songs on it, my computer and phone both agree on usage and space available. But under my iPhone, under music, it says i have 630 songs. but only those 94 in that list that are shown on my phone, play. And all 630 are in my library and all play. I want this all music on my phone to disappear. All 630 that show up on my iPhone music and the 94 on my iPhone, so that I can import new stuff and organize it.

    You can recover any purchased songs that are on iPhones using the procedure here.
    If this is not available, you can ask Apple to allow you to download your music again. Note that, first, they DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. Purchase of music from the iTunes store entitles you to one download of that item. Second, note that if Apple does allow you to download a second time, they have to pay royalties on each download, whether you pay for it or not. Last, if they allow it, please back up your purchases.
    To request a redownload, contact iTunes support from the menus in iTunes or use this page.
    Best of luck.

    seeing iTunes deleted my iPod, how can I transfer music from iPhone to iTunes?

    any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

  • Cant sync music from iphone 5... When sync button is clicked starting sync appears and dissapears and nothing happens i cannot find a solution for this... Someone help me please

    I Cant sync please help me... Im using iphone 5 ios 7.1... when sync button is clicked starting sync comes and nothing happens and no music on my phone... Im trying to sync my playlist in itunes... I have itunes 11.1.3.8 64-bit Windows 8

    My apologies...the version is 11.1.4.62 not as stated aboive in my problem description.  I'm trying again and it just finished syncing fine and my iPhone 5 is still connected to iTuns physcially with USB lightening cable and is displaying the iPhone icon top right.  I clicked on it and iTunes is now "hung' or  locked up.  Shows to be an active running application but can't get back to it so willl have to kill with task manager.  There is some kind of problem going on with the latest version of iTunes and Wndows 7 and 8.1 or something.  My iPhone 5 now has a new feature that it is now asking me if I "Trust" this computer.  iTunes just came "unhung" after several minutes while I was typing this. Now I am going to start the backup to this computer HP Winsows 8.1 and iTune 11.1.4.62 and see what happens.  Says it is Backing up Jerrys iPhone but the Barber Pole progress bar is not turning an iTunes is hung again and I cant get back to it from this page I am typing on.  Maybe it will eventually release as it did a moment ago. 

  • My computer crashed, cant play songs from iPhone in Itunes,getback app?

    After my computer crashed i install new system and itunes. When i connected an iphone, i cant play songs on it. Somebody told me, when i start any sync i will lost all my songs.I would like to keep it or i will loose them.And as well how can i get back all my app what wasnt on my iphone installed?

    hard drives will always crash, and you should ALWAYS keep a backup. it's surprising how many people still don't know this little fact about computers, and then they do nothing by cry when all of their data is gone.
    let this be a lesson from here on out - ALWAYS KEEP A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA. the easiest way is to use an external hard drive.
    there are apps that will allow you to get your music off of the iPhone, but they are not supported by apple.
    and just because you think it's stupid does not mean it is done to annoy you. it was most likely done as an agreement with the music industry, but since no one here officially works at apple, we don't know the actual reasons.
    also, you can "repurchase" the apps you have for free. you will be asked if you want to redownload the app. (i've done this.)
    music (from what i understand) that was purchased on the iPhone but not yet synced can be synced without deleting it off of the iPhone, but this can only be done once (i think).

  • Is there a way to transfer music from iPhone to iTunes?

    I recently had a nasty virus on my Sony Vaio and my hard drive had to be replaced. Although I had all of my pictures and documents backed up, the only places that I had my music (3,000 songs) was on my iTunes library and my iPhone 4. All of my music was gone when I got the new hard drive. The music that was on iTunes was from CD's that I borrowed from my friends and mixes that they gave me, so I can't transfer the purchases through my account. I have Windows 7 on my PC and the latest version of iTunes. I've been lazy and haven't updated the software on my iPhone since summer. If i update the software on my iPhone to IOS 5, is there a way to get the music from my iPhone back to my computer via iCloud, or is there another method that I can use?

    Google for software to extract the music from the iPhone.
    There is no supported way via iTunes to extract the media.
    Once you've rebuilt the library, BACK UP everything!

  • Cannot play music from Iphone on iTunes

    This is the setup:
    I have a home PC that I use to sync / buy content on my Iphone. When I come to work, I have none of this data on the PC, but I want to play the content of my Iphone through my PC.
    When I click on the iphone triangle and click music, the content is all grey and I cannot play (or double click to play).
    How can I play this music on my Itunes?
    Thanks!

    I've had this problem for ages. You've inspired me to find a fix and I appear to have found one.
    I manually sync my iphone at home (computer A) and I wanted to play songs on Computer B at work. The songs were all greyed out on Computer B.
    Now, to get around this I have selected "Manually manage music and videos" from the sync options in iTunes.
    I have no other options selected for sync options as I do actually want to manually manage music rather than sync it.
    Now, when I click on "Music" from within itTunes --> iPhone it is no longer greyed and is playable through Computer A and Computer B.
    Think that made sense, if not let me know
