How can I copy just one song from my iPhone to my iTunes library?

I have purchased songs through the iTunes app on my iPhone 4S.  I want to get these songs on to my iPod.  I figure I need to first transfer the songs from my iPhone to my iTunes library on my PC.  Problem is it always seems to want to sync my library with my iPhone and I have way too many songs in my library to fit on my iPhone.  I just want to transfer a couple of songs from the iPhone to my library. Is there anyway to do this?

Hi, first, you should prevent the iTunes library auto sync with iPhone: Launch iTunes > click Preferences... > click Devices. In the window, check the option 'Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically'. Next, connect your iPhone with your computer via the USB cable. Click the mini menu for iTunes on the very top left and click the option 'Show menu bar'. After then you can see iTunes File, Edit, View, Control, Store and Help menus on the ribbon. Click File > Devices > Transfer purchases from (your iPhone name). You can also access to the File menu by holding down Alt (Option on Mac), Shift and F keys. This is how to get your iPhone purcahsed song transferred to iTunes Library.

  • How can I sync a (one) song from my computer to my iPad without syncing the entire library even though i have my iPad set to manually manage music?

    Whenever I try to move just one song from my iTunes library to my iPad, it will start syncing like 300 other songs randomly so I cancel everything. I have my iPad set to manually manage music but it still does that. And what's worse, I never get that one song I chose in the first place. The same thing with photos. I'll sync a photo and it starts syncing music as well. But at least I get the photo just fine.

    Easy solution when on itunes simply go to the music tab and press on music library then browse what file which contains the music you want to be added same with photos

  • How can I restore just one application from Time Machine?

    Hello, I have just one application that is really acting quirky and won't load correctly anymore and I would like to restore that application from Time Machine but am just not sure how to do that. Can someone please walk me through step by step on how to restore just one application. Thank you. Jean
    Message was edited by: anokienurse

    Before you restore an application from a Time Machine backup it would be wiser to remove the current installed copy then reinstall from the application's original distribution medium - download, CD/DVD, etc. The reason for this is that Time Machine backs up every hour. By now the bad version of this application is now backed up to your Time Machine backup drive. Restoring from the backup won't resolve your problem.
    First, uninstall the old program. If the program came with an uninstaller then use it. If not then start by deleting the application from the Applications folder. Then locate all the support files associated with the application and remove them, too. Look for these in:
    /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences
    /Users/yourusername/Library/Applications Support
    Applications may come with a separate uninstaller program that could also be in your Applications folder. Some applications may install other files in other locations on your computer. If you tell us what the application is we may be able to provide additional help.

  • How can i export just one mailbox from 10.6.8 mail in 10.9.2

    I’m using Mail in 10.9.2.
    I took the mail from 2 old POP a/cs and archived it in 4 (i.e. sent + received) folders under ‘On My Mac’.  Then, unfortunately, I deleted the contents of one of those folders.
    I have a backup of the emails, but it is in an old version of Mail, in 10.6.8.
    How can export the mail for that one folder and import it into the current Mail in 10.9.2?  And will it be compatible?
    I’m running Mavericks on a MBP from an external FW800, and 10.6.8 is on the internal drive.

    Nothing for 'Export' appears under Help in Mail for 10.6.8 - but it turns out that it's the terminology that's changed. 
    Creating an Archive of a mailbox provides the way to export it.  Thanks for your suggestions, Tony.  All sorted.

  • My mac is authorized for my ipod touch but I can't transfer non purchased songs from my ipod to my itunes library.

    My old macbook was stolen a month ago and I just got a new one. My new macbook is authorized for my itunes account, but my ipod touch is only able to transfer purchased songs. Whenever I try to transfer data from my ipod, itunes claims my computer isn't authorized and the transfer stops. What can I do to transfer my music?

    An iPod Touch is not a backup/storage device. You should have been maintaining a backup of your personal data on an external HDD using Time Machine or other backup software of your choice.
    However, there are ways to "recover" the music:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    Once you have recovered the music I strongly suggest you purchase an external HDD and start using Time Machine to keep a backup of your personal data.

  • How can i get all my music from my ipad into my itunes library so that i can download it to other ios devices?

    I have an iPad that is loaded with music that I actually burned the cd's into iTunes on a computer at work a couple of years ago.  I switched jobs some time ago so I no longer have access to that computer. Is there anyway to get that music into my iTunes library on my home computer so that I can download it onto my new iPad or other iOS devices?  Computer stuff is NOT my forte.

  • How Can I Tell if a Song on My iPhone is in iTunes Match?

    I can't tell if my songs are in iTunes Match or not as on my phone scrolling through the list there is no cloud icon but I do have iTunes Match turned on my computer and on my iphone.

    Once a track has been processed in iTunes there will be no cloud icon next to the track as long as it is on your local HDD. This means it is "in the cloud." To see the status of the tracks switch to Song view and pull down View > View Options and select "iCloud Status" then close the small window.

  • How can I delete all the songs from my iPhone 5s.

    The software is up to date so its not that. I have also turned off the 'show all' option and there are still tracks left. It won't let me drag the songs sideways to delete, and when I connect the phone on my iTunes and click un-sync it from my music it STILL doesn't remove all of it (despite a message saying this will remove all songs and playlists- rubbish).
    Hey Apple your new itunes is awful. Any solutions would be appreciated.

    Go to your Settings.
    *General
    *Usage
    then find your music, swipe over it from right to left. "Delete" option will come and and just press.
    Ta da..  Just managed myself so I am very happy/proud

  • How do I copy the drum track from my iphone over to my mac

    Hello - I just bought an iphone and downloaded Garageband. I noticed that my iphone version of GB has some really useful drum loops that are not present on my Mac. How can I copy the drum loops from my iphone to my mac, which is where I do most of my recording? I don't want to just send them to itunes because they lose some functionality that way.
    Thanks!

    you would need to export the project. these instructions are for iPad, but i believe the steps are very similar, if not the same:
