I have subscribed to itunes match. How do I get the songs from my iphone into my itunes library which only shows the songs I have purchased? Lots of the songs on my iphone were taken from CD's years ago which is why I thought itunes match would help.

How do i get the songs i purchased off of my phone back onto it after restoring it?

i had to get a new iphone4, before going to the store i updated and saved all my stuff onto my computer. i came home to restore it, none of my songs were on my phone. i got my songs back onto my phone after i plugged it in again. now, none of the songs i purchased from my phone on the first iphone are there. and if i try to download a song that i already purchased from my phone, it wont let me get it because "i have already downloaded this item." how do i get them back on to my phone?!

If they are not on your computer, how does iTunes say that you still have them?
Do you mean that they show in your purchase history in iTunes?
It sounds like you did not "Transfer purchases" when you synced your iPhone. And as such, it's highly unlikely they were ever on your computer.
The iPhone is not a storage device. It is intended that all purchases be transfered to your computer for backup on a regular basis. Then as an added measure, create a backup of your iTunes library to an external drive, CD/DVD's, or flash drives in the event something happens to your computer.
It is ultimately up to the user to ensure that their media and files are backed up.

I can't get the songs i purchased onto my iPod

i just spent close to $20 on songs from iTunes. I plugged my iPod up to transfer the songs and they wont go through to my iPod. I just checked my library, recently added, and purchased songs. They're all gone. I checked earlier and they were there, but now they're not. I paid for the songs, but didn't get them!!! What should i do?

Go to the advence menu, then click on something like Search bought items... (I have a french version of iTunes... dunno in english). The search engine will tell you if your download are still there. Second, search your computerfo the song title you've lost. And : you know now that you should make a CD/DVD Backup of you're bought items...

You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

I recently purchased a new computer and just downloaded itunes. I have an old iphone that has over 1,000 songs that I want to put on itunes. How do I get the songs on my iphone onto itunes?

Help! I just bought a new computer and am trying to get the songs from my iphone to itunes on the computer. My old computer that had all of origional songs on itunes crashed so all I have is my old iphone. How do I get the songs to go into my itunes library. I would like to purchase a new iphone and plan to load the songs on it after I can figure this out? Please Help?

Restore them to the new computer using the bakcup of the old one. If you don't have a backup of the old computer, you can re-download music purchased from the iTunes store. If they were imported from CD's, etc. You will either have to re-rip them or purchase third party software to extract them from the phone. The iPhone is not a backup or data transfer device.

Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you in. If you are using your computer's iTunes then does music show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (on your phone you might be able to redownload media via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app) ? If music shows there, but not that album, then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If you aren't in a country when you can redownload music and it's still on your phone then you should be able to copy it over from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

I have been sharing my iTunes account with my kids...now they are getting older and want to have their own accounts, how do I share the songs I purchased for them on my account with them on their new accounts?

Is there a way to transer from my main account their new accounts? And can I share music from my account with them?

You can't currently transfer content from one account to another account. As long as the tracks are on the computer's iTunes that they use/sync to, and your account is authorised on that iTunes, then they should be able to continue to use them.

Connect your phone to computer, and sync like this. Check the boxes for the playlists, artists, albums you want to sync. Then click Apply. If you have enough space on your phone, you can choose Entire music library.

If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
