How do I copy my iPhone's playlists over to my laptop

I have an iPhone 4 running the latest iOS. I created playlists for my music under the Music app on my iPhone. How do I transfer/copy these playlists to iTunes on my MacBook? Also, is there any way to make the Music app's settings the default, to override what is on iTunes on my laptop?

    I recently upgraded my iphone 4 to the new IOS 7 and now my iphone won't automatically trust my laptop. How do I get my iphone 4 to automatically trust my laptop?

    Swipe up from the home screen to access the control center and find the rotation lock icon (lock icon circled with an arrow). If it's on, that icon will appear in your status bar and will be "lit up" in the control center. Tap it to turn the lock off and allow apps to rotate.

  • How to create "Purchased on iPhone" smart playlist?

    I lost my old iPhone Larry but the "Purchased on Larry" playlist was still active. My new iPhone Ploobie's purchases were automatically added on it, but as soon as i synced my iPhone to my computer, the new songs got deleted from it. I ended up deleting that playlist in order to create a new one for my new iPhone. However i have found you can't create a "purchased on iphone" smart playlist from neither my iPhone or my computer. Could someone please give me some advice on how to do it?
    Thank you.

    I am having the same issue.  I tried merging two "Purchased on iPhone" playlists.  I created a new playlist and copied all tracks from both playlists into the new playlists.  I then deleted both "Purchased on iPhone" playlists.  I purchased a new track on my iphone hoping that when I plugged in my phone to sync a new "purchased on iPhone" playlist would appear so that I can then paste all the tracks in the playlist.  The new "purchased in iPhone" playlist was not created and now I have no idea how to add it back. 

  • How can I copy the iPhone backup files to another iTunes Library?

    This article will tell you where your iPhone backup is stored on your computer:

    HHow can I copy pictures from my iPad to my windows laptop

    If they were taken with the iPad, simply plug in the iPad, and it should appear as a regular digital camera in Windows Explorer or in Control Panel/Devices and Printers.
    You can then either use the Scanner and Camera Wizard, or simply open the DCIM folder and drag the pictures to which ever folder you want them in,

  • How to transfer music from iPhone 4 to a brand new laptop? Help!

    I got a new laptop for my birthday which is this Saturday. I don't feel like downloading third party apps or programs. I just want to know how to transfer my music from my iPhone 4 to my laptop. Thanks~

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer to the new one.

  • How do I get my iPhone to sync over wifi with my new hardrive?

    I had to replace my hardrive in September. I plugged in my iPhone and it says it's waiting to find the name of my old hardrive before syncing over wifi with it. How do I change the name of the computer my iPhone is looking for to sync with? Or, if it would be better, how do I change the name of my new hardrive to make iPhone happy? (It's been so long I can't remember.)

    You have to turn on Wi-Fi sync again. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386

  • How can I Xfer my iPhone 5 music to my new laptop PC?

    I'm having trouble Xferring my tunes from the iPhone 5 to iTunes on my new laptop [Windows 8].
    In iTunes it wants to copy my PC music [zero] to the phone instead of the other direction.  Help?

    Move the media from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.
    As already stated, there is not official method of transferring media (other than iTunes purchases) from an iOS device to the computer.
    A search of the forums will reveal other ways to copy media from the iOS device if there is no backup or the old computer is no longer accessible.

  • How to view backed up iPhone 3G Data on a Mac Laptop

    I've backed up data from a damaged iPhone and now want to view it on my Mac Book. I'm told by Apple that there are some third party software solutions to this. Can any one help?
    Thanks in advance!

    *Wjosten - you're being incredibly helpful thank you!*
    I was able to extract the data but now I see files that are clearly messages (most of them with an associated image) but I'm unable to open them. Is there a decoding step Im missing? Or an app that will read these files? Files I see include "message.plist or 7696-0-preview - this last one says its a plain text file but text edit just give me code - not readable text. I have a feeling I'm missing a step.
    I feel like a dummy - so thanks for your patience...

  • How do i get my iphone to connect to my new laptop via itunes?

    Hi
    I have bought a new laptop because my existing one blew up. I have downloaded itunes on to my new HP Envy but when i connect my i phone it wont create a new back up onto the Envy. The iphone does register in itunes and I tried to back up manually but it wont.
    Please help
    Ray

    OK, that's not what you said in your original post. The iPhone is not a backup device, and there is no way to transfer all of its content to your new computer, but there are some workarounds, described here: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    The better way to do it is to restore the backup that you must have kept of your dead computer to your new one. If you do that when you sync it will recognize that the content is the same and not delete it.

  • IPhone MUCH slower over wifi than laptop.  is my phoen broken?

    using iPhone 3GS, 32Gb
    using Linksys WRT54G router
    using wireless G
    using WPA-PSK security
    my home Internet connection is AT&T FastAccess 3.0 Mbps
    If I go to speedtest.net from my wireless laptop, I get 2.8 Mbps down.
    If I use the speedtest.net iPhone app over wifi, I get 0.6 Mbps down.
    This is consistent. My wifi speed is slower than my 3G speed. Is there something wrong with my iPhone?

    Thank you very much for that info. I'm curious - I've seen other people referencing download speeds of 9 - 10 mbps with their iPhone. Is that simply a reflection of a faster ISP connection? Thanks!
