How can i move the music from my iphone onto my new itunes?

hi
ive just got a new laptop and i installed itunes thinking that when i plugged in my iphone it would take the music library from the phone to the laptop so i had an up to date library on my phone and the itunes on my laptop. however, this didnt happen. the itunes acknowledges my iphone as the 'closey 16's iphone' appears in the left hand column and it also charges the battery, so the usb lead is definitely working. Does anyone know how to sort this out? please?!
thanks

The iPhone is not a backup storage device and sync is technically one way. You need to get your data from your old machine (or backup...you do make backups right) to your new machine then into iTunes. Then you can sync them to your iPhone (which will clear the iPhone and sync content back again as you can only sync media with one computer).
One other option is to choose "Transfer Purchased Content" from the menu (in Windows it would be rightclick on your iPhone in iTunes or from File menu...sorry I don't use a Mac).
However, note, that will ONLY copy over items you bought via iTunes and NOT items you got another way (eg: ripped, from another store, etc) as there is no way to verify you own a legal copy.

    Use the backup of the old computer and copy the iTunes files to the new one.
    However, since you are writing here, you probably didn't have a backup, so check out this user provided support document https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How can I move the music on my IPOD onto a new computer if my old computer hard drive has crashed.

    Question. How can I get my music library from my IPOD onto ITUNES on a
    new computer, given that my old computer, which contained my ITUNES library crashed and has an unrecoverable hard drive?

    Have you not got a backup of your iTunes content on, for example, an external drive ? If not then depending on which country that you are in then you might be able to re-download past iTunes music purchases from the store. Otherwise you will need a third-party program to copy them off - this post mentions some that were around a couple of years ago, I don't know whether they still exist and/or work.

  • How can I sync the music on my iphone to a new itunes on a new computer without losing everything?

    Just recently I got a new laptop which means a fresh, new itunes. The old computer had all my songs but it's a really slow old computer so i can no longer sync my iphone to it anymore. so i was wondering how could i sync the music i have on my iphone to my new itunes on my laptop? the only option i've seen is syncing the 3 sample songs i have on my itunes to my iphone but then i would lose all my other songs. help.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    Iphone will sycn with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.

  • Can't get the music from my iPhone onto my new MacBook Air.

    Hi, I just bought a new MacBook Air, but when i plugged my iPhone in, it said it would delete all of my music when i sinced. Does this mean that all of my music will be wiped from my phone or just the songs that weren't bought using my iTunes? I also have a PC with the same songs on it.

    Have a look at the link below and see if it helps you out....

  • I have an IPhone 5, and of course I have used ITunes. My Computer has been completely destroyed, so I have to Purchase a new one. How can I transfer my music from my iPhone to my New PC?

    I have an IPhone 5, and of course I have used ITunes. My Computer has been completely destroyed, so I have to Purchase a new one. How can I transfer my music from my iPhone to my New PC?

    The way I do it is I hook to my windows computer, it will pop up iTunes. I click iTunes off. The phone will show as another drive on your computer. Click it open then migrate to the photos folder from the iPhone.
    Then select all, cut then right click on your pictures folder on your computer or make a new folder on your desk top like I do and right click on new folder and select paste.
    Photos will be gone. Just remember to turn off the iPhone sync in your photos folder on the phone or they will come back
    Good Luck

  • How do I get the music from my iphone to my new computer?

    We just got a new computer and not all of my songs were from itunes. Is there any way of getting them from my iphone to my computer?

    Open iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect your iPhone.
    If at any point you get a message that your phone is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your phone.
    iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod or iPhone to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

    Hi There
    You can only transfer purchased music from your iPod to iTunes using iTunes. However there are third party utilities that you can use to retrieve your music, just do a google search or have a look on http://www.versiontracker.com

  • How can I get the music on my iphone onto my laptop?

    So, a while back, my father and I switched laptops. Since we did this, I have HIS itunes account on my laptop. He told me to uninstall itunes and reinstall it and then log into a new account that I've made. I did so, several times. Every time I open Itunes after reinstalling it, it still loads his music onto it, even after logging into my new account. The thing is, I have an Iphone that has the music that I want on my laptop,  on it. What I have been TRYING to do, is sync the music on the phone, onto Itunes. For some reason, I can't seem to do this. Every time I try to do this it tells me that if I do I'll lose everything on the phone and it will upload the music on the computer onto the phone. I've been trying for SEVERAL months and I just want to get my music onto my new ANDROID phone. This is why I have switched to an adroid, from an iphone.

  • HT1329 How can I get the songs on my iPod onto my new iTunes library?

    I have an iPod that was synced to another iTunes library on another PC.  The PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro but it keeps saying the iPod is synced w/ another iTunes library.  How can I get the songs on my iPod on the new iTunes library?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
