Find music on home computer / transfer songs from iPhone to home computer

I have 3000 songs on my iPhone. I recently purchased a new hard drive for my home computer.  Now my home computer iTunes account appears to have only 735 songs (I haven't purchased than many songs on my iPhone, most songs were downloaded from my old school CDs).  I want to sync my iPhone with home computer (new hard drive) but don't want to lose 2000+  songs.  Thought I could simply locate all music files and move them into iTunes library, but can't seem to locate complete music files (my computer should have close to 3000 song but am only fnding library with 738 songs). 
Thanks for your assistance.

If you can't find them on your computer and need to transfer them from your phone, you'll have to use 3rd party software such as PhoneView (Mac only) or Touch Copy (PC or Mac) to do so.

    how to transfer songs from iPhone to mac

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases from the phone to your Mac's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from other sites and/or copied from other sites, then if you haven't got a copy of them on a backup then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the phone.

  • Any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes on MacBook Pro?

    I'm an idiot.  I'm just going to say that up front.  I feel that's fair for all who venture here.
    I've had a terrible time with an update..and I wasn't able to get iTunes to acknowledge/recognize my iPhone or iPod once I ran and installed the current update.  While trying to get my iPhone/iPod to be recognized, I did a lot of removing/uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes.  During this mess.....I somehow DELETED MY ENTIRE iTunes LIBRARY!!!  The whole thing.  I have no idea how.
    I thought I had been backing up....and thought I had Time Machine so I was safe.  I was wrong.  I won't even ask about Time Machine here....I've already disclosed I'm an idiot. 
    I am finally able to get iTunes to acknowledge my iPhone.  Thank goodness.  But, now......I have Songs and Playlists on my iPhone that aren't on iTunes.
    Is there any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes? 
    Thanks!

  • HT4527 how to transfer songs from iphone 4s to new computer

    Basically all I want to do is transfer a couple of songs to my phone from my office computer. Now I downloaded itunes on the desktop. But I cannot sync the music because it will delete all my songs from the phone. So I thought of transferring all the songs first to the itunes on the desktop and then sync it with my phone along with the new songs. IS THAT POSSIBLE, PLEASE HELP! Thanks in advance :-)

  • Transfer songs from iphone directly to ipad

    So i'm thinking of getting an iPad.  I already have an iPhone 4 32GB.  I cannot afford anything larger than the 16GB ipad, so I am wondering if there is any built in utility or app where I can transfer songs, pictuers, music, etc. from my iphone to my ipad but WITHOUT the use of itunes or any computer at all.  I was figuring that I have enough room on my iPhone to keep all my stuff, and whenever I needed that "stuff" on my iPad I can just transfer files as needed from iPhone to iPad, removing un-needed "files" from the iPad to make room for the needed ones. 
    I understand that i can do all this through iTunes, but if I dont always sync or dont think ahead for what I will need on my ipad for that day, i need something to be able to transfer "whatever" from one to the other "on-the-go". 
    So to sum up or re-phrase, I was thinking of using my iphones' large capacity as a storage location and transfer movies, music etc. to ipad as needed when i'm away from my computer at home.  is there any such utility or app for this? 

    Sorry, but there is no way to transfer content directly from one iOS device to another. You need to use either iTunes or, for such content as is supported, iCloud.
    Regards.

  • Trying to transfer songs from iPhone to my iTunes.  Help!

    I had iTunes with lots of songs and all of the songs are on my iPhone. Last week my computer crashed and I had to replace my hard-drive and memory, so I lost all of my music. I am trying to get all of my music back onto my computer and into iTunes. Some of the music was directly purchased from the iTunes store and I was able to transfer those into my iTunes library. But most of my music was burnt onto a CD and transferred to iTunes. When I try to sync my iPhone it says that is only able to sync with one iTunes at a time (i wasn't able to deauthorize my last iTunes due to computer failure) and that if I sync with this new iTunes I just downloaded it would erase everything on my iPhone and replace it with my new iTunes library. All of the music is on my iPhone and not in my iTunes and if I did this it would erase everything. Is there a way to get the songs that I did not purchase from the iTunes store onto my computer from my iPhone without losing any music??

    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod/iPhone. However there are couple of third party utilities for retrieving content that are advertised as iPhone compatible:
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

  • How to transfer songs from iphone to windows pc without using itunes

    Have a iphone i want to transfer song files from iphone to a windows pc at work that does not have itunes and I cannot download itunes to the computer because it is a work computer.

    There are several programs available that run on a PC that can do this, but they would need to be installed also. If you can't install iTunes it is doubtful that you could install any of these 3rd party programs.

  • How to transfer songs from iPhone 4S to iPod Touch 4G

    Hello users of iPhones and iPods etc all over the world...
    My mum recently brought an iPod 4G and wants to transfer her songs from her iPhone 4S to this new iPod. I have spent all afternoon trying to work out how to via iTunes and Apple Support, however there is no use - I have tried backing the iPhone up to my laptop and booting it to the restored iPod Touch, however with 3 attempts all failed. Both devices have the latest iOS, so there is no issue there. One thing is that I'm using Windows 8 Asus X501A, however this should not make any difference from if it was a Windows 7 for that fact.
    I'm usually quite fluent with my iDevices and technology, but have just gone clueless.
    Many thanks

  • Easiest way to transfer songs from iPhone to iTunes?

    I've purchased at least 50 songs directly from my iPhone. Now, of course, I need to transfer those songs to my iTunes w/out running the risk of having my iTunes music library replace my iPhone playlist. Anyway, I tried a free product called iPod Access, but I had a problem (most of my songs didn't appear on the IPod Access list). Is there an easier way to do this?
    Thanks

    No--I went to "Preferences" and changed that (this is what the Ipod Access directions indicated that I should do).

  • Transfer songs from iphone to new mac (my hard-drive failed and has been replaced), some songs i have bought on itunes and others were old copies, any ideas?

    hi
    i have recently had my mac hard-drive replaced and consequently have lost all my old stuff - had to download a new itunes for example. i synced everything onto my iphone before it broke luckily. some songs i purchased on itunes, others i downloaded ages ago from CDs. how do i transfer these onto my itunes library again so i can sync?

    iTunes can transfer your purchases or you can download them again.  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For songs ripped from CDs, you need to use a 3rd-party utility.  Here are two that will help you.

  • How to transfer songs from iPhone to ipod

    I Bought a used iPod touch 2nd generation. I also have an iphone 4 with songs on it. I just want to put the songs on the iPod. They are both authorized to the same Apple ID, but I can't seem to get the songs on to iTunes on my laptop, they only show up if the iPhone is plugged in. There doesn't seem to be a way to transfer the songs anywhere. Not the laptop, iTunes, or the iPod if it's also plugged into the laptop. I am beyond frustrated! Help!!!

    There is no direct iPhone to iPod transfer. The 2G does not support directly redownloading iTunes purchases to the device.
    This for iPhone
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
    Then sync to the iPod

  • I cannot transfer songs FROM iPhone to iTunes

    I am not able to sync my iPhone songs to iTunes library.

    Have you tried checking the manually sync songs (instead of automatic) in the device overview screen (the one that appears when you click on the iPhone in the sidebar)? Then click the triangle next to the iphone in the sidebar and click on the music tab and try manually dragging the songs to your library.

    DO NOT sync your iPhone or all your music will be lost.

    Transfer all the songs from iphone to your iTunes first then sync to your ipod direclty. You can use an ipod to computer transfer program to help. The best way to share music between iphone and ipod is to use your iTunes.

  • Is there a way to transfer songs fron iphone to itunes

    is there a way to transfer songs from iphone to itunes

    "The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases"
    There is no way to transfer non-iTunes purchases from an iDevice to iTunes without using third party software.
    It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of one's computer and the important data on it for events like this.  If a backup existed, it would be a simple matter of copying the content from the backup to the new computer.
