How can I restore music from iPhone to iTunes Library?

iTunes deleted music (the proverbial !) in my iTunes library, however the music (I want it in the library) still plays on my iPhone. I have repeatedly trying synching the iPhone (the music is still playing ok on the 3GS) but whenever I click on the song in iTunes library, I get the ! and "cannot locate song". How do I get the music on my iPhone back onto the iTunes Library? I tried synching iPhone but still ! in iTunes. This just happened the other day when I opened iTunes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Len

If you have back up your music, you can restore from the backup.
To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
Right-click (or Control-click) the device and choose Restore from Backup
If you have a new phone, you can connect to iTunes and it will prompt to restore from your backup

If you have no backup for your data on iPhone, iPhone data recovery software is your last shot! I used Wondershare iOS Data Recovery and it worked well, there are also other options available.

    seeing iTunes deleted my iPod, how can I transfer music from iPhone to iTunes?

    any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

  • How can I copy music from PC to iTunes Library?

    I am trying to copy some music files I copied from original CDs to a pendrive since I do not have a Mac DVD player. I tried by selecting files from Finder and doing drag-and-drop into iTunes Library, but it did not work. So, what can I do?
    Thanks!

    Let me get this straight. You took files ripped on a PC to a pen drive and tried dragging them to the iTunes library window?  That should work, but some things will depend upon the format of the files.  I would create an empty playlist window and drag the files to it. It is possible the files either never had or somehow lost their tag information and are not ending up in the library where you expect them to be.  What format files are these?  WAV doesn't preserve labels,

  • How can I move music from ipod to itunes library

    My computer had a virus and I had to restore the whole system and now my itunes library has been wiped. Is there anyway I can swap my ipod music to the itunes library?
    Pleas help!

    There's also a way to perform this without downloading anything. Open iTunes. Open your Preferences. Keep it open so iTunes detects no connection. Go to My Computer\Tools\Folder Options\View All Hidden Files. Then click "Ok". Double click on your iPod, and drag the Ipod_Music folder to your desktop. It'll copy. (If you are not in disk mode. If you don't know what diskmode is, don't worry about it.) Final step is to use the safely remove iPod option (the little green thing in your system tray) and then go to File\Add Folder\iPod_Music. Everything should now be in your iTunes, assuming you're using Windows, because you're in the Windows board.

    You can recover any purchased songs that are on iPhones using the procedure here.
    If this is not available, you can ask Apple to allow you to download your music again. Note that, first, they DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. Purchase of music from the iTunes store entitles you to one download of that item. Second, note that if Apple does allow you to download a second time, they have to pay royalties on each download, whether you pay for it or not. Last, if they allow it, please back up your purchases.
    To request a redownload, contact iTunes support from the menus in iTunes or use this page.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    how can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    If you mean iTunes Store accounts, there's really nothing for you to do. Just add the tracks to the iTunes library and play them. Music purchased prior to late-2009 will been to be authorized, though. Pull down Store > Authorize... and type the credentials of the Apple ID used to buy the tracks.
    If you mean something else, please describe in more detail.

    You would have to use 3rd party programs. Try youtube, they would give you tutorials and the name of the program. There was one program I used but it deleted after I got all my music out my iphone.
