How can I get songs on my iPhone on to my mac?

I have recently bought my freinds iPhone off of him. I made a point of asking him to leave his music on it although I can't get it on to my mac. I went in to the apple store and asked is there a way I can get the music on to mac. They said it could be done but they wouldn't do it for me. Can anyone help me?

How can i transfer songs from my iPhone 4s to new mac

I recently got a new MacBook (My first one ) but the problem is my old PC crashed and I lost all of my songs that were on that computer. The only songs I have left are on my iPhone. Is there anyway I could simply transfer the songs on my iPhone to my new MacBook? of course, when I go to "sync" my phone to my new iTunes, which is my old account, it says that everything will be erased and what is in my new iTunes library (which is empty) will be transfered to my phone.
Please help!!!! I am still learning this MacBook so please forgive my stupidity! Go Team Apple!

Re-downloading all your purchased music (apps, ibooks, videos, everything) is easy if you purchased them from Apple. Assuming they are still available, you simply download them again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Retrieving music that you copied from CD or other sources is not easy. Music is supposed to go from your computer to the iPhone, not the other way around. Moving its content to a computer is contrary to the design.
I wish I had a dollar for everyone with a Windows PC who asked this question. Given their predilection for attracting viruses and other sordid malware, Windows PCs crash with disturbing regularity. Now that you made the wise decision to replace it with a MacBook, get an external backup disk (external hard disk drive, or Time Capsule) and simply use Time Machine. Plug it in and Time Machine does the rest. The drudgery of backing up your system becomes painless and totally forgettable, and recovering from a crash becomes a non-event.
Here is some guidance retrieved from an old post. Since it is old, some of the links may not work:
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

HT4527 how can you move songs from your iphone 4 to a mac pro laptop??

My Itunes decided to update itself without my consent and while it updated it erased my songs. I have an Iphone 4 and I want to put the songs inside my Itunes in my Mac Pro how can I do that?? not all the songs I have on my phone are bought.

It has always been very basic to always maintain to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
The iphone is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to iphone, The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

How can I get my contacts from iPhone ios5 to my mac osx10.6

I recently upgraded my late model 2006 iMac to OS Lion. I also updated my iPhone to IOS5.
Lion is not really configured to work seamlessly with an older mac, so I reverted back to OSX 10.6.
This means I've lost all contacts in my address book.
Is there a way of retrieving contacts from my iPhone IOS5 so I can add them back onto my mac?
This is so frustrating and until I can afford a new mac, I need to find a way of getting my contacts back.
At the moment I don't want to synch my phone with my mac for fear of losing content on my phone.

It might take a bit longer, but it's risk free:
Use your iMac to send your contacts in an email to yourself
Open them using your iphone.
They should arrive as vcf format and you click to open it and hey presto!
Also works the other way round, so when I receive an email from a new contact, I register it on my iphone and click on "share contact", sending it to me which I then open on my Powerbook.

I lost my hard drive and want to get my music back on my new computer. How can I get songs from my ipod to my computer? I am afraid to sync it and losing what is on my ipod. Any help would be appreciated.

Copyright breach with Apple transfering multiple copies to multiple users not permitted.
Each device is specifically paired with a laptop or Apple stand alone computer.
But try to synch both devices separately with the same music library in Apple music media folder??
Only acheivable with itunes and apple products as well. see how it goes.

When connected to your computer's iTunes you can use File > Transfer Purchases to copy over any music (and other content) that you've bought from Apple. For music that you've copied from your own CDs or bought from other download sites then is it not already on your computer and/or on a backup that you can copy onto your computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off the phone.
And there is no need to SHOUT.

If you downloaded it from the app store on your computer's iTunes then connect your iPhone to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then use the Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync that app to the phone.
If you downloaded it somewhere else then you won't be able to copy it to your phone - only iTunes apps work on iOS devices, PC and Mac software aren't compatible with them.

I have created files within the mail app and want them to be the same on my mac and iphone.

You need a mail server that supports this then. Hotmail premium I believe does, but the free version does not. Gmail supports it, and any ISP that offers IMAP supports this capability. iCloud definitely supports it, so if you create a free iCloud email account and switch your primary email to it you would have this capability.

How can I get a legally unlocked iPhone 3G in US? Where, How, And what is the total price. Thanks!

As has been stated, you cannot purchase an unlocked iPhone in the US. This kbase article indicates whether iPhones sold in particular countries are carrier-locked (in some cases, you can contact the carrier for unlocking).
