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.

    how do i get music from my iphone to my new laptop ?

    You can only transfer music purchased from the iTunes store from your phone to your computer.  To do this, authorize iTunes for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music in Store>Authorize This Computer, then connect your phone to your computer and in iTunes go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    To transfer music from other sources from your phone to your computer, you'll have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy.

  • How do i get music from my iPhone to my new MacBook?

    How can i get music to transfer from my iPone 4s to my new MacBook Air? iPone was backed up to a HP computer that crashed before i bought the MacBook.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just this occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you failed to backup, then you may be able to purchases a third party program to get the other music from the iphone.

  • Can't figure out how to remove select music from my iPhone 4 with the new iTunes

    My old PC with all my music on iTunes died, and I need to remove some music from my iPhone 4 to make room for the new OS update. I downloaded iTunes on a different computer and tried to sync the iPhone to it, to move all the music on my iPhone to iTunes so I could deselect what songs I wanted to remove to make the storage space. I can't figure out how to do this with the new (non-user-friendly) iTunes update. When I sync the phone, the only songs that show up are the ones I have purchased on iTunes, but non of the songs/albums that I transfered from CDs. I don't want to reset my phone to delete ALL my music, just select songs/albums. Can anyone please help me figure out the new iTunes to be able to do this? It is driving me nuts and I'm getting really mad at Apple for their constant updates making things less easy to use!

    i have the same problem, if u find it out please let me know :C i can erase or put new songs from my pc to itunes u.u

  • How do I transfer music from my iPhone 4 to my new MacBook Pro

    I just got a new 15 inch MacBook Pro for my birthday, and I want to transfer my music from my iPhone 4 to my iTunes on my new MacBook Pro. I have already downloaded an app called diskaid and another one called tuneaid but neither of those worked. Is there a free and easy way to do this? Please help!
    Thanks,
    Becca

    He probably bought the music directly on his iPhone. If thats the case, just set up your account and phone on that computer then transfer your purchases over to that computer. If you bought from a separate computer, you'll need to transfer from that computer to the new one, like a brody said above.

    I tried to sync it manually and I tried doing it over wi-fi, but I can't get the songs from my phone to my computer. I am logged in on both devices. I have an HP laptop that uses Windows 8

    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be transferred to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase them, then connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  However, music from other sources must be extracted from your phone using 3rd party software such as Touch Copy, then imported to your iTunes library.
