Help!!! I need to transfer music from my iPhone to my MacBook

I received a new MacBook Pro and I do not have all of my music on it as I did on my old computer. I have it on my iPhone how can I sync the music from my phone to my new MacBook?

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content from your computer.
The sync is one way -  computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

  • How do I transfer music from my iPhone to my MacBook Air?

    Hi!
    I just bought a MacBook Air and I would like to to transfer my music from my iPhone 5C to the MacBook. I tried backing up my iPhone but only about 4 of the songs transferred. Please help me, I'd be so grateful!

  • HT4527 How do I transfer music from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro?

    Hi my computer was recently stolen and now I am trying to transfer the music & photos from my iphone to the new itunes music library and the photos which I had synced from my mac to my phone, back onto the mac. So far I have only been able to transfer the items purchased from itunes. How do I transfer the songs that I had previously had in my library?

    If your backup copy of your comptuer was not stolen, then use it to put evefrything back.
    Otherwise, you may be able to buy software to move the music.

  • I need to put music from my iPhone to my mac

    A while ago I forgot the password to my apple id, and when i tried to reset it it wouldn't accept my birthday for the security questions and when I tried to reset it by email, I never got an email (I checked my spam and junk folders too). So I made a new Apple ID. I recently got a new Macbook Pro and I need to transfer music from my iPhone 5 to my mac, but it will only let me transfer the purchases i made with my new Apple ID. is there any way i can transfer the music that I bought with my previous apple id?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
    Creating a new Apple ID to address this issue should only be done when desperate to make a purchase.

  • I need to transfer music from another itunes library to my current. my last computer crashed and i do not want to lose all of the music stored on my nano. Please help!

    I need to transfer music from another itunes library. My last compter hard drive failed. I have several hours of songs and I don't want to lose these. Is there a way to transfer music from another libray to current? I have recovered the purchased music but would like to transfer other. I have a mini without a disc drive so it makes loading the same music difficult. Please help.

  • What connection do I need to transfer music from my Ipad to a tablet?

    I'm attempting to find out what connection I need to transfer music from my IPad to a friend's tablet.

    This cannot be done. If the music exists on a computer in your iTunes library, or in a folder for that matter, you can transfer it that way. Otherwise, there is no way to perform this kind of action.

    You can't do that.
    All your music should be in your iTunes media library - you sync your ipad to iTunes to get music on it.
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support

    how do I transfer music from my iPhone 4S to my new computer with windows 8 without deleting music off my phone?

    What should be done, is to copy your entire iTunes folder from
    your old computer to your new one, then open iTunes holding down
    the shift key.   You will get prompted to create new or open existing,
    select existing and navigate to the iTunes folder and select the
    "iTunes Library.itl" file.
    To find were the iTunes folder is:

    After doing this, you "should" be able to sync normally.
    If you never previously synced to iTunes, then it could be problematic.

    Purchased iTunes content can be re-downloaded for free, directly to the device, as long as you use the samme Apple ID that was used to originally purchase the content. Either that, or you sync it to the phone using iTunes. You can also use iTunes Match.
