How do I get my entire iTunes library off of my iPhone?

I have an iPhone 4s, and for some reason I have every song in my iTunes library on my phone. I put in my settings on the computer to only sync my playlist, but it still puts on other playlists that I can't delete off my phone.
EDIT: I've noticed that in my playlists section, it has the one playlist I want plus all of the "automatic" playlists or whatever they're called, ones that have a little gear next to them, like "90's Music: or "Top 25 Most Played", and It won't let me delete this playlist from my phone, or iTunes,

I don't think you can control what playlists appear on the phone under iOS 6.0.2 - I noticed it synced every playlist I had created on iTunes.

  • How can I get my entire itunes library onto my PC laptop?

    I had an ipod touch, where I bought and stored most of my music. I only have a few songs on my PC laptop. Unfortunately my ipod has litterally fallen apart, to the point where it can't be used (pieces of the screen, wiring, and the outside have fallen off.) How can I get the entirety of the songs I have purchased using my apple id, including those that were on my ipod, onto my laptop? I have itunes 10.7 currently, but can install a newer version of itunes if need be. (As you may have noticed) I'm not a particurally tech savvy person, and I thank you greatly for your help.

    Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

    I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • HT201543 how do i get my old itune library onto my new laptop, my old laptop is broken but all media is on my phone. Most of the songs are from CD's which i no longer have. HELP!

    That is not necessarily true. You are allowed to make a back-up of media you own and, at least in the Netherlands, even a copy of a work you've borrowed from a library. The law expressly permits this and you pay a certain amount for recordable media to allow for home use.  See http://www.thuiskopie.nl/nl for this.  If you then decide to destroy the media, i.e. do not transfer the media to someone else, I don't see how you infringe copyright by keeping the back-up. But I guess some so-called creatives like the idea of making money in all kinds of hypothetical ways...
    It is a nice dream, where you have to work once and then earn a lot of money by selling millions of copies from your work. But buyers can make copies too!! Hahahahahaha!

  • HT4914 How do I download my entire iTunes library back to my computer and iPhone ?

    The things I love about iTunes Match are:
    upgraded audio quality
    entire music library backed up to cloud to prevent loss
    available on multiple devices anywhere*
    The thing I hate about iTunes Match is that if I don't have access to WiFi or Cellular then I have NO ACCESS to my music. Since I travel often and am frequently in situations where there is no Wifi/Cellular (or it's to expensive when in another country) I'm left with no options.
    My question is - How do I download my ENTIRE ITunes Library to both my computers, iphone and ipads?
    I can't image clicking the "download icon" on 50,000 songs... is there a workaround for this?
    thank you!
    Michael

    If you use a regular CD, then you will need a lot (depending on how many songs, videos, or apps) I recommend using DVDs so that way, you can store a lot. (CDs hold up to 800MB or 80min.; DVDs hold up to 4.7GB or 120 min.)

    itunes sync takes all music off iphone 4s onto pc. how do i get music from itunes on pc to the iphone 4s?

    Under your device in iTunes, you need to make sure you have "Sync Music" enabled on iTunes under the music tab to tell iTunes to move the music it has over to your iPhone.
    Take a look at this article for information on how to sync your iPhone using iTunes.

  • How do I get videos that I recorded off of my iPhone so I can upload them to Facebook? I cannot send them via email nor MMS because it says they're too big.

    How do I get videos that I recorded off of my iPhone so I can upload them to Facebook? I cannot send them via email nor MMS because it says they're too big.

    iTunes is not used to move photos and videos from an iPhone to a computer (it is used to move them the other direction).
    Also note that a connected phone or camera does not show in the Finder on a Mac. It should show in Image Capture or iPhoto.
    The following has instructions on how to move them: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Another option is 3rd party software such as http://www.photosync-app.com

  • How do i restory my entire itunes library from the hard drive of a new laptop to itunes?

    I recently got a new laptop and would like to transfer my itunes from the old to the new. I backed up the itunes library to an external hard drive, and have transferred it to the hard drive of the new laptop (I haven't deleted the library from the old laptop). I am operating on windows. I am now stuck and can't seem to restore my entire itunes library to itunes. The items purchased from the itunes store are in the library on the new laptop, but the rest of my music is not. How do I restore it to my itunes library? I have tried opening itunes while holding down shift and selecting "choose library" option, but when I select the itunes folder, it doesn't appear in the library.
    help?!

    Hello ggjsa,
    Congratulations on your new laptop!  I understand that you have copied your old iTunes Library to your new computer, but you are still not seeing the music.  I recommend reviewing Part 5 in the section titled "External drive" in the following article:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    If you are still having trouble transferring the library using this method, you may want to try using the Home Sharing method in the article. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • How do I get this stupid U2 album off of my IPhone?

    This has got to be the most idiotic marketing stunt ever.  Shame on Apple for burning $100MM of shareholder money to do it. I have spent the last half hour trying to get this stupid U2 album off of my IPhone.  I tried doing it from my laptop and hid it in the ITunes Store there, but it is still showing up on my IPhone "in the cloud" ... any idea how I get it out of the cloud ... or will I just have to hate Apple forever for messing with my IPhone without my permission?

    What an odd reaction to a free gift.
    If your parents or children gave you a gift that you do not like, would you react this way?
    Have you taken leave of all reason?
    You have been given a free gift.  You can choose not to listen to it.  You can delete it from your library.
    iCloud will allow you to redownload it in the future, should you choose to do so.  You can also choose to never download it again.
    It seems as if you are greatly over reacting to a free gift.
    How dare Apple and U2 give you something for free against your will.  The nerve.

  • How do I get the old Apple ID off of my iPhone and the new one installed?

    I got a MacBook Pro and decided to create a new Apple ID different from the one I previously had. How do I get the old Apple ID off my iPhone and the new one installed?

    When I tried this, my music stayed the same whereas my new iTunes has only about half the music it used to.  How can I get all the music to clear out so that it can sync my new music to it.  Simply connecting it to the MacBook Pro and pressing Sync has not worked.

  • How can I move my entire iTunes library from old laptop to new one?

    I got a new iPad for Xmas to replace an old laptop not realising I would still have to have a laptop or PC for my main iTunes library. I have got round ths by creating my own area on my partner's laptop & have installed my iTunes library on there. However, it has only installed my purchased music & not my wider collection such as all my CD's that I burned then got rid of to go digital. I have my complete library on my iPad & iPhone but need it on my laptop too in case I lose or break a device & need to install my iTunes library to a new device.
    I have followed the support detailing how to move your iTunes to a new computer but am not getting very far. I don't have an iPod to use as an external hard drive. I read that you can drag your iTunes library to a CD or DVD but my library is 16GB & I don't have any disc big enough!
    Does anyone have an idea of a simple way I can do this? Is it not possible to do it directly from my iPad or iPhone seeing as my complete library is on both of these devices?

    Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
    To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
    Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
    I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    That will let you transfer your non purchased content
    For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
    In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
    Download any music by clicking on the cloud button
