How can I back up and restore my manually managed music from an old iphone to a new one?

At present, when I go to restore from a previous back up, my music is never transferred to the new device. I assume this is because I have the manually manage music option selected.
Is there a way to back up and add the same music and playlists etc from old iPhone to new iPhone without selecting the box that transfers everything from itunes?
As I have far more music than my iphone could ever take and I only want a selection. So if there is no way of doing this then I have to do it manually everytime? A very long winded task to go through entire itunes library picking it all out again!?!
Any help would be appriciated!?

Thanks very much!
Although I had to add everything again to the playlist, at least I can just copy it over in future!

  • How can i get music from my old iphone to the new one

    how do i transfer my music nd pictures to my new iphone from the old one?

    All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer and can be transferred to your new iPhone in the same way - via the iTunes sync process.
    All photos on your old iPhone that were transferred from your computer should remain on your computer. These photos can be transferred to your new iPhone in the same way - via the iTunes sync process.
    Photos/videos in your old iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. After being imported by your computer, they can be transferred to your new iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process.

  • 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.  

  • How do I move music from my old IPhone to a new one?

    My old music is from CD's that I own.  I put them on my phone a couple years ago thru Itunes with no problem.  Now it seems that Itunes will only let me add music to my phone if I buy it from them. 

    I'm using a PC, not a Mac.  My system is using Wi-Fi.  And like I say, using ITunes there is no way to upload my music to my IPhone.  Clicking on devices only gives me the option to Sync, and restore.  I've even tried backing up the old phone, which has the same name as the new one, and then restoring it to the new phone but it won't move the music to the new phone.  I checked out the ITunes Match.  Now I'm not a real bright guy but it looks like Apple wants me to pay them $25 a year to listen to my own music on my own phone.  I mean, it's not like I'm stealing anything.  I paid for the phone and I paid for the music.  Why should I have to pay them to sisten to it? 

  • I was transferring my information from my old iphone to the new one, and i forgot that i had some pictures in the new one. i did the restoring information and the pictures in new one are gone. how can i get them back????

    Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
    But most likely those pics are gone.
    What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

  • Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?

    Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?

    Pictures are held in the iPhone backup. If you backup the old device just prior to the activation of the new one, then restore from that backup, the photos will be there. Music is in iTunes on the computer and when you do the restore, it will download the music from iTunes to the device during the restore. Make sure any music purchased on the iPhone that has not been transfered to iTunes on the computer is done before beginning the restore.

    No. When you restored the backup of the old computer it wiped out everything on the phone.

    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 my deta from my old iphone to me new one withat wifi

    Backing up the old iPhone with iTunes and restoring to the new one is a good solution. However, if you have difficulties in doing so, you can transfer the data from the old iPhone to the new one directly with the help of iPhone PC Suite or MobileTrans.

  • Can I restor data from an old iPhone to a new one using iCloud backup?

    I’m going to buy a new iPhone, can I restore my data from the old iPhone to the new one using iCloud backup and is it safer to back it up on my PC?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I don't use iCloud back up, but I understand you can do that.
    It's always better to use a mac/PC based back up, I'd only consider the iCloud back up if I didn't have a mac.
