How do I get music off my iphone and into my itunes

I had several CDs that I had downloaded into my itunes and put them on my iphone. Then my computer crashed and I had to get a new one. Now none of those cds are in my library but they're still on my iphone. How can I get them off my phone and into my itunes? I cant sync any new music because it says my phone is synved with another itunes library and if I do, everything on my phones gonna be erased. Help????

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • How can I get music off the ipod and into my library?

    I can't get the music off my ipod into my library... arg why won't it let me?

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not work with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

    There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

  • How can I get my music off my iPhone and into the iTunes library?

    My computer broke down a long time ago and I lost all my music, the only place I have any of it now is on my iPhone. None of my songs were purchases. I haven't updated my phone since I got it a year ago, I deleted and backed up everything on my phone except for my music because I can find no way how, and I still don't have enough space to update. Some of the songs I have on there, I can't get back if I delete now, not anywhere. Why is there not a simple, built in way to back up music??? This has been driving me insane forever, I really just want to get my music back into iTunes again, or get it onto the computer I'm currently using, somewhere, anywhere, at this point. Is there any way to do this without downloading some program that you have to pay for to get to work?

    You don't need to manually put iTunes Store purchases in the cloud. If that purchase can be stored there in your country, it's done so upon purchase. If not, it isn't possible.

  • How can i get music off my iphone onto my new computer without the music on both having songs deleted?

    I have a new computer and have put some music on it before I hooked up my iPhone. So now I have some music on my iPhone that I don't have on my computer and I don't want to 'sync' and lose some of the music on my iPhone.  So I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with getting the music off my iPhone and adding it to my new iTunes??

    The syncing of music is not a true sync process - not really a sync at all. It is a transfer process. No iTunes content in your iTunes library will ever be touched or removed by syncing an iDevice.
    Where is your old computer - the one with your iTunes library that was used to sync with your iPhone? Why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.?
    If your old computer is still available, transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link. This will prevent any iTunes content from being removed from your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer.

  • How can I get my music off my nano and into my itunes library?

    We did an erase/install on our imac and forgot to back up the itunes library. Thankfully my music is on my ipod, but how do I get it back into my library?

    You can try some 3rd party utilities like those above. Your mileage may vary.
    Officially, there is no way to get music off your iPod and onto your computer. Sync is 1 way only.

    Try using a third-party utility such as iExplorer - iPhone, iPad Music & File Transfer App for Mac & PC.

  • Now that I'm using Match, how do I get music off my iPhone?

    I've got Match enabled on my Mac, iPad 2, and iPhone 4. I have a bunch of music on my phone from before I enabled Match (about 8 GB worth) that I would now like to delete all at once. I'd rather keep the drive space free and just dl matched songs as needed. When I try to manage the music on the phone in my iTunes window, though, there doesn't seem to be a way to do it anymore.When I select the Music tab on my iPhone while using iTunes, I am presented with a window that says "iTunes Match is On." Any thoughts on what I need to do here?

    You can go to settings>general>usage click on music and then swipe across the music and a delete button will appear.
    Press the delete button and your music should delete.
    You cannot manually manage your music from the computer and have itunes match going also.
    You either have to have match working on your phone or be syncing the old way.  You cannot have both right now.

  • How do I get music off my ipod and on to my itunes acount?

    I need to burn a CD for a freind but I cannot get my music off of my Ipod and on to my computer. I want to put it in a play list I made but it will not let me drag it.

    The media should already exist in iTunes on the computer.
    iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    That being said, if for some silly reason the media is not in iTunes and you have chosen to not maintain a backup of the library, iTunes purchases can be transferred from an iDevice to iTunes. 
    Connect the device, right click on the device and select "Transfer Purchases".

    On an iPhone4 that had iOS5.1.1 (and worked perfectly, by the way), I upgraded to iOS6 and that was when my iPhone 4 became just an iPod with short battery life.
    How can I dump iOS6 and get iOS5.1.1 back on my iPhone 4?!

    There is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS.
    Apple do not support downgrading.
