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.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
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.

  • How do you sync music from my iphone to my new macbook?

    I have just purchased a new macbook pro and I was wondering whether there was anyway to transfer music from my iphone to my macbook?
    My previous itunes was on a dell computer so I'm not sure whether I'll have to transfer music from this computer to my macbook. Hopefully there's an easier and quicker way using my iphone!
    Thanks

    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 you import music from my iPhone to my new MacBook Pro without loosing non-purchased music?

    I recently purchased my first MacBook Pro. I am trying to import my music from my iphone to my Mac and itunes, but I do not want to sync it because I have downloaded music from previous CD's that I do not want to loose. It says that I can only transfer "Purchased" music into my itunes library? I can I transfer ALL my music from my iphone to my computer and into itunes????

    Syncing is NOT limited to purchases music. You do not need to purchase anything, just learn how to select and sync (not upload) thru iTunes. What does "not let me upload" mean? What is occurring when you try and what are you doing?

  • How do I transfer music from my iPhone to my new MacBook without erasing everything off my iPhone?

    All that seems available is to 'sync' my new and empty iTunes library to my phone, which is not what I want.  How can it be this difficult to get my music purchased from iTunes and under the same apple account which my MacBook runs onto the new MacBook?

    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 move music from my iPhone to my new MacBook?

    I just got a new MacBook as a school laptop. I want to put my music on iTunes on it from my iPhone. I've already authorized this laptop and somehow managed to get the movie I have on my phone onto it, as well as my apps. So how the crap do I get my music on there? This is so inconvenient...

    There's no way to do it that's officially supported by Apple, but there are ways to do it.
    Since it's not officially supported, I'm hesitant to give any more detail- though it isn't very difficult.  I suggest Googling it for some quick answers.

  • How do i Get music from my iPad to a new MacBook Pro

    I have a lot of music on my iPad and want to get it onto my new MacBook Pro. It seems to want to sync the MacBook to the iPad which will wipe out all my music since the MacBook has nothing on it. How do I sync from iPad to MacBook?

    You need to make the new Mac iTunes library your syncing library. iTunes on the Mac sees your iPad as a new device because you have never synced with this computer before. You can make the Mac your syncing computer by following the instructions in this user tip. You will be able to transfer the purchased music on the iPad into iTunes when you follow this procedure.

    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.

    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 transfer music from my iphone to my new laptop

    You might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    For iTunes purchases File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them over. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then if you haven't got it on a backup drive and you don't still have your old computer with it (copying music between computers) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them off your phone : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
