How do i get my music from the iphone to itunes?

  my desk top recently bit the dust on me so I got myself a lap top. I have itunes installed but how do I transfer my music from the iphone 3gs to the itunes?

Purchased from iTunes or acquired from somewhere else.
For purchases make sure you authorize your computer in iTunes and go to File > Transfer Purchases.
For other songs you will need 3rd party software. Which one depends on what type of computer you have.
Easiest way to put your music is to use your backup from your old computer and restore it on the new one.

  • How do I get my music from my iphone into itunes library

    I have tried everything I can see to get my music from my iphone to my itunes library?
    I've just got a new iphone 4 and want all my music put onto my new phone but again I don't know what else to do.

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Everything should be on your computer, just sync it to the new iphone.

  • How do i get my music from my iphone, onto itunes? Plz help

    Hi, I have had my Iphone for two years now, but only got my macbook some months ago. Before i got my computer, i bought my music over the app itunes on my Iphone. My phone is broken so I'm sending it to reparation very soon, and they say i should have a backup for everything. I do have a backup for everything, except for my music. I have tried several tired synchronizing my phone on my mac (the automatic way), but it still wont come on my itunes. So, the music is on my phone, but not on my macbook. I almost clicked "Sync music" on itunes (macbook), but it would delete every bit of music or tunes i had. So of course, i did not do that.
    So my quiestion is: How do i get my music onto my computer, so i can get a backup??? Plz answer asap, because I have to send my phone soon.
    Thanks

    Hello JWILDT,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Since you have purchased the content from iTunes on your iPhone, simply transfer purchases from your iPhone in to iTunes.

    My computer crashed and I lost iTunes library and all playlists from computer.  Now I have a lot of music that I want to save to iTunes and cannot.  Additionally, I cannot add new songs without erasing the entire library from my phone.  HELP!!!

    Restore the iTunes library from the backups you were keeping regularly of your computer.

    First try this:
    - Go on iTunes computer
    - plug in the iPod
    - authorize your device from store/authorize
    - iPod / transfer from iPod by right clicking on the left pane
    This will only transfer iTunes purchased music, not ripped CDs. and it is unnecessary now, as the music can just be downloaded from the cloud.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

    Download it in iTunes from your purchased list, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    If the music is on your phone, another option is to authorize your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in iTunes, Store>Authorize This Computer), then connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

  • How to I get my music from my iphone to my new macbook

    My Macbook was stolen last month.  I have replaced my macbook and was wondering how to get all my music from my iphone on to my new macbook?  I thought Icloud would save my files, photos and music but it apparently did not.  Any help is appreciated.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    Was your backup copy of your computer stolen as well?

  • HT1349 i have a new pc and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all data to sync.  How can i get my music from the ipod to the new computer?

    I have a new pc windows 7 and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all the data to sync.  How do i get the music from my ipod to my new computer.  The old computer is trashed and files are not available, songs are only on ipod.

    One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup is a good idea. Use this link for future reference in this regard.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

  • How can i get my music from the cloud back on my computer??

    For some reason my computer keeps saying that it cant find my music!! I have changed computers and phones but thought that my music was backed up to the cloud. How do i get it back on my laptop to put it back on my phone??

    Downloading past purchases from iTunes Keep in mind that not all content is available for redownload.
    The best solution is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and other important data) from the old comptuer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.  Relying on the ability to redownload content is an extremely unintelligent way of maintaining access to purchased content.
