Copy music from my old iphone to my new iphone

Looks like iTunes won't actually save the music and video files, including playlists in the back-up and implement in the restore proceedure. Re-typing all the playlists and copying files manually is a pain, and I don't trust iTunes to manage this within the iTunes Library.  Good way to move music, including playlists, into the new phone?

Hi Templeton: Thanks for reply.  When I do back-up of old phone, and respore to new phone, that works but it does not do anything with music or video files.  iTunes seems to only copy music and videos one way (unless purchased via Apple). I could create separate iTunes music playlists and then do synch as you have stated, but is not what I was asking. I prefer not to have iTunes manage my data (don't trust apple on upgrades) and don't really want to keep 2 copies (one protected and one for iTunes library). Thanks.

    You have to transfer the music from the old iPod to iTunes and then sync it to the new iPod.

  • How can i transfer all the music from my old iphone to a new one

    my iphone broke. i have a new one and im trying to get all the music from the old one to the new one. i dont wanna delete all the music on the old phone i just wanna like "Copy" it to the new phone but i dont know how thats why im asking for help.

    I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
    All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
    Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.  

  • I want to transfer my music from my old computer to my new computer and on to my iphone

    I want to transfer my music from my old computer to my new computer and on to my iphone.
    I have a Dell laptop which has all my music on it, on Itunes, and synchronised with an Ipod (not an iphone).
    I have an Asus laptop which is synchronised with my iphone 4S.
    I have my new Dell desktop. I have not copied any music or itunes on to it.
    Ultimately, I want to connect my iphone 4s to my new Dell desktop.
    I want my new Dell desktop to have all my music on it, on itunes, with the Playlists as per my old Dell laptop.
    I want my iphone to have all that music on it.
    But I also want my iphone to have the apps and other material that is already on it.
    How should I go about all this?

    can you explain how to copy from one computer to the other computer?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music on the old phone synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library on the laptop is empty) ?
    I tried the "Transfer Purchases" option - however this only worked for apps - not sure if I'm missing some sort of setting.
    I do not want to use iCloud as I do not have enough space for my music.
    Thanks!

    You cannot. The music must be in the iTunes library first. See these User Tips:

  • HT1386 How do I copy music from an old iPod?  Why do you have to make things so difficult?  These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them.  I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.

    How do I copy music from an old iPod?  Why do you have to make things so difficult?  These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them.  I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.  I used to be able to do this until you "improved" things.

    Thanks, Deggie. I thought Apple would see my feedback.  I would just like to know if there is a simple way to copy just a few music files from an old iPod.  I saw instructions on how to copy all of them from the iPod but it was complicated and I really didn't want to copy all the songs.  I guess I could delete all the songs but the ones I want to copy then go through that process again.  Do you know how to back up music to my computer?  I don't want to have to go through this again and possibly lose music.

  • What is an easy way to transfer the pictures and music from my old iPhone 4S to my new one?

    Everything should be on your computer.  Is it not?
    Just sync it to the new iphone.

    I want to transfer music from an old iphone to a new itunes but its not working

    If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
    Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
    If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
    If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
    The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
    Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
    To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

  • Transferring music from an old IPhone

    How do I transfer music from an old IPhone 4 to an IPhone 6 ? My music was not saved, backed up, no iCloud.  it is only on my old IPhone4.

    If it's music you purchased from the iTunes store, you can just re-download it from the store. If it's music you acquired from other sources, and you don't have a backup of it (since it had to be synced to the phone from your computer to begin with) then you'll have to purchase 3rd party software to try and extract it or re-rip the original CDs.
    If it was ripped from CDs and you no longer have possession of the original CDs, then you don't own the music.

    You need to transfer the music from your old iPod to your iTunes library first before it can be synced to the new one.
