How do I copy music from my iPhone 4 to itunes?

I am new to Apple iPhone and I am trying to develop my understanding of my new iphone 4 and generally how things work. Can anyone kindly tell me, if I were to purchase music from itunes on my phone, how do I then copy the music that is on my phone to itunes? What are the steps involved? Please can you make your explainations clear as you are replying to a complete novice. Any feedback would be much appreciated, thank you.

You can transfer music from your iTunes library to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, or you can manually manage and transfer music to your iPhone without syncing.
With Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and transferring music to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, after purchasing music direct with your iPhone, the music will be copied to your iTunes library on your computer automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
Manually managing and transferring music is manual all the way. Everything must be done manually including manually copying music from your iPhone that was purchased from the iTunes store.

    How do I copy music from my iPhone to my iPad (music that I downloaded from iTunes)

    You don't, directly. You can either sync your iPhone to iTunes on your computer and then sync the music to your iPad, or you can download the tracks again using your iPad.

    How do I transfer music from my iphone 5 to itunes?

    Furthe question to this one: Don't want to synch, simply want to transfer new music in iTunes to my iPhone.  Reason I don't want to synch, I burned some of my CDs in iTunes (i.e., didn't buy them through iTunes which iTunes/Apple doesn't seem to like at all) so don't want to lose everything I burned which is what synching appears to do.  So I was hoping for a simple drag and drop from iTunes to iPhone or similar.  Thank you.

  • How do I transfer music from my IPhone to itunes library?

    I recently bought a macbook pro. how do i copy the music off my phone and onto my empty itunes library?

    It would be better to simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your old computer to /Music/ on your new computer (along wiht copying all your other user data from old to new computer).
    To copy from iPhone, see this -> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

    I had a HTC and switched over to iPhone, so I deleted the HTC Manager and all of it's contents, so it erased all of my music and now every song in iTunes has the little ! icon next to it and I cant get rid of them. Also, is there a way to copy the songs from my iPhone to my iTunes library? Thanks.

    How do I transfer my music from my iPohone to iTunes

    Unless purchased from iTunes, all the music on your iPhone should have come from an iTunes sync. You can only sync with one itunes library. If you syncing with a new iTunes library you will lose all your non-iTune purchases.
    If you still have it, you can transfer your old iTunes library to the new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    All your iTunes urchase can be downloaded into your iTunes library
    Open iTunes STore > Purchased (in Quick Links on the right)
    or directly from your phone:
    Open iTunes app > More > Purchased

  • Old iTunes deleted, new iTunes doesn't have all of my music, can I copy music from my iPhone to iTunes without syncing

    Help, computer returned from being fixed, everything has been deleted. Can you import music from iPhone 4 into new iTunes (old iTunes deleted) without syncing phone.

    My computer HDD did not crash only my external drive with the music files.  I have not had to reinstall iTunes software.  The iTunes libarary is still complete and shows the complete list of music.  I have also ran Update iTunes Match and all of the music is on the cloud.
    I cannot play the music from iTunes that is on the cloud, however the music I purchased from iTunes did download and it will plan from my computer.
    The matched or uploaded music is what will not download and I can't find a command that allows me to download from Match.
    Sorry if I'm not being very clear, however I do really appreciate your help and suggestions.

  • How do I transfer music from my iphone to a new computer?

    how do I transfer music from my iPhone 4S to my new computer with windows 8 without deleting music off my phone?

    What should be done, is to copy your entire iTunes folder from
    your old computer to your new one, then open iTunes holding down
    the shift key.   You will get prompted to create new or open existing,
    select existing and navigate to the iTunes folder and select the
    "iTunes Library.itl" file.
    To find were the iTunes folder is:

    After doing this, you "should" be able to sync normally.
    If you never previously synced to iTunes, then it could be problematic.

    How do I get music from my iPhone 5 on to my new iMac?

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is isynced.  The sync is oen way -  computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You should copy everything (files/docs/music/pics/contacts/calendars/etc) from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
