How do I get my music off my iphone???

I have over 200 songs on my iphone. When I plug it into my iMac, I can see the songs on the phone in iTunes. But I can't get them FROM the phone to the computer. It won't let me copy them, drag them, or whatever. I would like to NOT lose the songs I have downloaded to my phone. WOW! For something with the Apple logo on it, this freaking iPhone is awfully NONintuitive.
How do I transfer songs (or any data) from the iPhone to my Mac computer???

Click  File>Transfer purchases

    Click on transfer purchases only works for purchased apps and music, but NOT the music rip from CDs or other sources.
    For transferring music other than those purchased from iTunes, refer to the following:

  • 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?

    Download Cyberduck. Other FTP software will be similar.
    Go into the wifi settings on your phone.
    click on your network.
    write down the IP address
    Open Cyberduck
    click on the open connection button
    In the dropdown menu go to SFTP (SSH File transfer protocol)
    In the server field enter your IP address
    Port is 22
    Username is "root"
    there is no password
    Once connected you'll see "Library" and "Media"
    Above that you'll see /private/var/root
    click that dropdown menu and navigate to the hard drive symbol that has "/" next to it.
    You'll now see 18 folders.
    Navigate to var/mobile/media/DCIM
    Here are all your images and video

  • How do i get my music off my iphone into itunes? my old computer broke and all i have is the music on my iphone.  I have an iphone 3gs

    help me

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone.  Without syncing :  File>Transfer Purchases
    As provided you can do a forum search as this is asked and answered many times each day.

  • Mac-format to PC-format: How can I get my music off an external hard drive?

    I had a mac-formatted iPod for years, and all of my music is on an external hard drive that is hooked up to that computer. When I got a new iPod after mine was stolen, I had to get a PC-formatted iPod. How can I get my music off of the hard drive and onto my PC (and eventually my iPod)? I tried uploading the files into my iTunes account on the Mac, but they don't show up in my account on the PC. Most of the music are CDs that I copied onto my computer years ago, and had on my old iPod. Help!

    Your Firefox profile would have the data. You can find it at:
    *C:\Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>
    **The file you want is called ''places.sqlite''
    You can copy that file if you want to restore your bookmarks to your current Firefox by going back to ''C:\Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>'' and overwriting the current file. Keep in mind, doing this will erase your current bookmarks.

  • My iPod touch is telling me I need to restore to factory settings. How can I get my music off of it before this happens?

    My IPod it telling me to restore factory settings. I know this will cause me to lose all of the music on it so far. How can I get the music off of it before I restore the settings? I really do not want to lose thousands of songs.

    What is telling you that and what is the wording?
    Can you make a backup via iTunes:
    iOS: How to back up
    Can you transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    If not then there is nothing you can do except restore the iPod and thus erase the iPod.

  • How do I get my music off of the cloud and back into my library

    How do i get my music off the icloud and back into just my library?  It started downloading my music in my library and put it on this icloud and now I cannot play the music in the library that has been downloaded on the icloud

    iTunes should show you two copies of the file (track) one which is in the local music folder (on the laptop / pc) and one that is available from iCloud.

  • How do i Get my music off my iPod back onto my hardrive where it originated

    How do I get my music off the iPod back onto my computer after a crash....? There has to be a way. Other wise what's the point of the **** thing.

    How do I get my music off the iPod back onto my computer after a crash....?
    Restore the music form your most recent hard drive backup.
    You do make backups of your hard drive, right?
    There has to be a way.
    There's many ways. If you search the forums, you'll find dozens of solutions. You can use the search box in the upper right portion of the discussions website.
    Other wise what's the point of the ** thing.
    It's an audio player... not a backup device.
    If you rely on your iPod as a backup of your music.. then you are misusing the device. It's not intended to be used in this manner. Apple makes it difficult to get music off the iPod as a method to hinder music piracy.
