How do i download the music from my i-phone 4 to my laptop?, how do i download the music from my i-phone 4 to my laptop?

help my computer crashed and i want my music back from my phone

One choice is to use the computer backup of the old laptop and sync it to the new laptop.  The other is to find some program on the web that reads data from the phone and copies to the computer.  Try googling to find something.

  • How can I separate my daughter's iTunes purchases from mine (the paying account)?  Some of her music is dreadful and it keeps downloading to my iPhone.

    Greetings all:  I've looked through the support communities and don't see this particular question.  I opened an iTunes account quite a few years ago and my daughter and I made purchases and shared home libraries and all was well.  However, as she's gotten older, her taste in music has changed and some of it is dreadful.   It keeps downloading (from the Cloud?) to my iPhone.   How can we separate her purchases from mine?  We have five devices authorized (her laptop, tablet and iPod and my iPhone and my laptop.) My account is the paying account.  Many thanks for your assistance!

    On your iOS device:
    Settings > Music > turn Show ALl Music off
    This will hide purchases that are not locally on your device.
    In iTunes create a Playlist with just your music and sync only that playlist.

  • I had about 6000 songs on my old computer in Itunes. 1000 I bought from Itunes, the rest I downloaded from CD's I owned. I was able to down load the Itunes songs but not my library of cd music. How do I download those songs into my new computer?

    I have 6000 songs in itunes (in my Ipod and old laptop).
    I was able to download the songs I purchased directly from itunes to my new laptop but the 5000 songs  I loaded into itunes from my old laptop using my own CD's won't transfer... or I don't know how.
    When I plug in my Ipod to my new laptop, I get a message that says the Ipod library is linked to my old laptop and the library can only be linked to one computer at a time.
    Any ideas how to resolve this situation?

    Copy them from your old computer, or your backuo copy of your old computer. to your new one.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.

  • I've just downloaded itunes on a new computer, and I'm downloading music from the cloud, but it seems to stick on certain songs and won't download them at all, stopping at a certain point. How do I get round this?

    Hi all,
    I've just downloaded itunes onto a new computer, and I'm currently downloading previously owned music from the cloud. However, it keeps sticking on various songs - it will get part of the way through and just stop, this seems to happen to about 1 in 10 songs. How do I get round this?
    Also, once I've finished dowloading from the cloud, how do I get my library to display only the songs I've downloaded, and not all the other ones that I don't want anymore?
    Cheers, Alex

    On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

  • TS4124 I have around 1000 songs manually downloaded from my CD's to iTunes in my iPhone before an operating system change on my computer deleted my iTunes and had to create a new one.  The music won't transfer to my new iTunes!  How do I get it back?

    I can't figure out how to get my music back onto a new iTunes from my iPhone.  I had to replace my iTunes after an update to my operating system on my MacBook Pro was reversed (found Mountain Lion to be incompatible with many existing programs and couldn't use it).  I had alraedy manually loaded about a 1,000 songs from my CD's and now no matter what I've tried I can't get them back onto my new iTunes!  How can I fix this without re-loading all of these songs?

    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.

  • Hi - I've brought the new iphone 5 but can't download my music from my itunes account even though I have the latest version (10.7). All i can see is that my account is not showing the iphone 5 as a 'managed device' and i dont know how to get this added ?

    Hi - I've brought my iphone 5 but cant seem to download my music from my itunes account onto it. I've downloaded the latest version of itunes as i heard this could be a problem but still no joy. The phone tries to sync when i plug it all in to the pc and even has the capacity bar showing about 12gb of audio but there is still nothing downloaded onto the phone.
    The only thing i can see that might be causing the problem is that when i go into my itunes account it doesn't show that the iphone 5 is an option is the 'managed device' section but i dont know how i can add the new iphone 5 to this....
    Can anyone please advise me on what to do ?
    Many thanks !

    You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. To make this your syncing computer:

  • Can i store my music on my device without using my data in my phone plan streaming from the cloud? How do i put what I want on there without waiting for each song to download from the cloud one at a time?

    How can I store the music I listen to on my iphone without streaming it from the cloud and using all my data on my phone plans?  How do I dump it on my phone all at once in itunes rather than waiting for each song to download individually from the cloud?

    What??  You asked how to get all your music on your phone at once rather than downloading it to your phone from iCloud.
    Go to your purchased list in iTunes and download all your music to your iTunes library, as explained in the linked article.  Then sync it all to your phone using iTunes you're done.  The music will be stored locally on your phone and you won't have to download it again in the future.

  • On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

    On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

    Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
    Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers.  To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing.  Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share.  You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons.  Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
    Go to Music in your Home Share.  Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.

  • How did I get an album cover 17 times when downloading music from itunes to my ipod and how do I get rid of the duplicates?

    I am pretty new to an ipod.  I finally got itunes on my computer, was able to download from computer to ipod classic,  but somehow ended up with 2 album covers showing 17 times for one and 16 times for the other.  I really don't have a clue how this happened or how to fix it.  The music it self is not duplicated just the album covers.

    1) Plug in your iPod.
    2) Wait for an 'iPod' button to appear at the top right corner of iTunes.
    3) Open that.
    4) Go to the 'Music' tab.
    5) Sync music.
    WARNING: This WILL delete all your music you had on your iPod prior to this.
    To add songs without syncing:
    1) Create an iTunes playlist with the songs you wish to add.
    2) Repeat steps 1 - 3 above.
    3) Go to the 'On this iPod' tab.
    4) Select your playlist you just made on the bar at the bottom of the list beside the 'Autofill from...' prompt.
    5) Press 'Autofill'.

  • How many times can I re-download music or apps from the iTunes store?

    Hey guys!
    How many times can i Re-download the iTunes songs and apps?
    I am thinking of buying a few albums from iTunes, but I am not quite sure if I have the possibility to re-download them as well?
    Thanks!
    Rick

    "How many times can i Re-download the iTunes songs and apps?"
    As many as you like, until or unless they are no longer offered.
    You should ALWAYS maintain a backup copy of your computer, including your music.
