How can I put music that is on my phone, but not on my account, onto my computer?

How to put music onto my computer.

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 independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a a different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media 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. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

You would probably have to contact iTunes store support and request that they be removed from your queue: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

HT201272 How can I redownload music that I've bought before but accidentally deleted?

When I follow the instructions and go into the list of music I have purchased from the iTunes Store, it won't allow me to redownload it. And I can't even re-purchase it; the store says I have it already! So frustrating! Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi Linda!
You are most welcome! And glad that things continue to work well. I knew about that song vs. album thing, because when you go into an iTunes album that you have purchased a song from, it says Purchased next to the song. But, when you go into another album that has that song, it is still "purchase-able". Make sense that iTunes would have no idea of where the exact duplicate of that song might be, because it is often the case that when the same song appears in a different album, it isn't an exact duplicate - maybe it's live, maybe it's 2 minutes longer....
So, hopefully that does explain the "duplicates". Think of it in "real" (vs. virtual) terms. If you bought a single from a record store, and then bought an album that also had that same song on it, you would have two of them. Despite the fact that it is a virtual purchase, it works the same way. Except that iTunes keeps track of the "singles" that you purchase, and if you are purchasing the same album that you bought the single from, you don't pay for it again - something a "real" record store wouldn't be able to do. Bonus!!!
It's only when you purchase a different album with that song on it that you will have a duplicate....
Hope that helps, and again, glad things are working A-OK now.
Thanks for posting back!
Take care,

I have a iPhone that holds the majority of my music on it. However, I just got a new laptop, and I do not know how to get the music that is on my phone and on my previous laptop onto my new one. Please help me out here.

I know that I could just burn all of my music onto a disk and then put it back onto my new computer, but I was hoping there was an easier way.

Use your computer's backup to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link, or do the same with both computers networked in some fashion, which shouldn't be hard to do if both computers are connected to the same wireless network.

Please How can I put music on main menu of the dvd, so when it opens play the music while user in menu , and can be mp3 ?

Hi:
Please How can I put music on main menu of the dvd, so when it opens play the music while user in menu
You must import your audio file and then drag and drop it in the Audio section in the Menu Inspector. For detailed info look in the USer Manual for the topic Adding Audio to a Menu in the Creating Menus Using the Standard Method chapter.
and can be mp3 ?
You must convert the mp3 audio to AIFF or Dolby 2 (AC3) before importing. Allways try to use AC3 audio encoded with Compressor.
Hope that helps !

How can I put music from my itunes on to my husband's phone but NOT backup his phone on my computer

How can I put music from my computer on to my husband's Iphone without doing a backup of his phone on my computer? All I want to do is add music to his iphone for him...not backup or sync his phone... thanks

Does your husband have his own computer/iTunes account? If so, the easiest way is to turn on Home Sharing, transfer whatever you want from your library to his library & then sync it to his phone on his computer:

How can I access music that is now unavailable with iTunes 11?

How can I access music that is now unavailable with iTunes 11?

Many of the tunes have exclamation marks by them and iTunes says they "cannot be found". If I do a search throughout my computer I find the songs. But it is very inconvenient.

I'm trying to purchase Guy Sebastian's (Australia) albums, but I keep getting a link "view in iTunes" which doesn't respond. How can I purchase music that's a few years old?

I'm trying to purchase Guy Sebastian's (Australia) albums:
"Beautiful Life"
"Closer To The Sun"
"Just As I Am"
"Twenty Ten"
, but I keep getting a link "view in iTunes" which doesn't respond so I can purchase the items thru iTunes.
How can I purchase music that's a few years old?

Guy's older albums have been on other countries' Itunes in the past. I don't know why they come and go. Guy keeps promising to spend more time overseas, releasing and promoting his music. I'm sure they'll all become available again then. You could import CDs, of course, but that becomes expensive. Online, Sanity and JBHiFi in Australia will mail overseas.

HT204053 I downloaded icloud, and when i try to sign in with my Apple ID, I keep getting a prompt saying that my ID is valid but not an icloud account. So I'm unable to finish registering, how do I register if I can't sign in?

I downloaded icloud because some of my music files got deleted, and I was hoping to be able to re-download them if I installed icload.Supposedly you can use your Apple ID to sign. Now when I try to sign in with my Apple ID, I keep getting a prompt saying that my ID is valid but not an icloud account. So how do I register if I can't sign in?

You can't create an iCloud account on your PC. You have to first create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher). After creating the account on one of these devices you can use the ID to sign into the account on your PC.
