    How do you download purchased music from the newest version of Itunes to my iPhone?

    Update the version of iTunes on your computer. If the computer's currently running 10.5.8 or 10.6.8, this may require upgrading its OS.

  • I got a new computer and some of my music apparently wasn't backed up to the external hard drive.  I have some of the music that didn't save on an iphone. How do I move the music from the iPhone into my iTunes library on the computer?

    I got a new computer and somehow have lost some of my more recently purchased and or imported music.  I have some of that music on an iphone and some on an ipad.  How do I get the music from those devices into my itunes library without losing everything else?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How do I remove purchased music from my iPhone?

    I have purchased music using my iphone.  Now I'm trying to remove the tracks from the phone.  They are not on any of my playlists that I have set to sync, but they are always still synced to my phone.  I have even gone as far as unchecking the Sync Music option in iTunes.  This removed all my playlisat tracks, but the purchased tracks are still on my iPhone.
    How do I get them off? I thought there used to be an option on the Sync Music page of iTunes whenever I bought a track, but now I don't see it.

    Synch your phone with iTunes and transfer your purchases to your computer. 
    Then once you're sure those songs are safely on your computer, unsynch them from your iPhone by unchecking them in iTunes.

  • HT1451 How do I download my music from my iphone to another itunes library account on my computer?

    Hi, Can anyone help, the music on my iphone was loaded from a itunes library that I no longer have access to.  Does anyone know how to download the music from my iphone to a new itunes library account on my computer?

    yeah... that's just bad advice because it simply doesn't work that way.
    iPhones like all iDevices are designed to sync to one and only one computer.
    Please refrain from giving incorrect advice.
    To the OP, a simple search of the forums or a little reading in the User's Guide would have provided the correct steps on how to get the music purchased via iTunes onto another computer without deleting it off the device.  FYI, it has nothing to do with the device or connecting it to another computer.  Simply copy the files from the original computer to the new computer, or redownload them on the new computer.

  • How to backup apps and music from an iphone 3g using itunes 11

    Hi, my godson has been using an iPhone 3G as an iPod for music and gaming apps. I want to give him my iPhone 4 (not a 4S) and I have iTunes 11 (registered with my appleID) on my Win8 laptop. I've done a Backup of the 3G and then restored to the 4, the settings and photos "transferred" with the Restore operation, but the apps and music didn't "transfer." How do I backup (all apps and music and photos,etc.--everything on the 3G--to the iPhone 4 using iTunes 11. I think I could have done it easily with older versions of iTunes (with the "Explorer" bar on the left side of iTunes), but I can't seem to figure out how to do it with iTunes 11.
    Thanks!

  • How do I upload my music from my iPhone 4S to iTunes so I can then transfer to an iPod?

    Hi there
    I hope the above makes sense. I have over a 1000 songs on my iphone but 400 in iTunes. I want to upload my iPhone library to iTunes so i can then sync with a new iPod?
    Please someone help...
    Thanks

    As I said, you can transfer itunes purchases.
    As everything else came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there, and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.

  • How can I removed purchased music from my iPhone?

    I purchase most of my music on my phone  but i dont want it all to remain on my phone. i want it to be on my computer I also want to be able to only put playlists on my phone. for some reason it keeps duplicating songs that ive purchased. how to i fix it without entirely deleting the song from everything?

    If you buy them on your phone, they're going to be downloaded to your phone.
    If you buy them on a different device, and want to make sure they don't get downloaded to your phone:  Settings >> iTunes and App Store >> turn off "Music" under Automatic Downloads.
    To delete a song, answering the title of your post, swipe your finger sideways on the song and selected delete.  If you have "Show All Music" turned on in Settings >> Music, they'll still appear, but not be local on the device.
    I don't sync playlists, so can't answer that part.  Maybe someone else can.

    How do I transfer my music from my iPhone to my iTunes library on my laptop?

    Plug it in to the computer, select your iPhone under DEVICES, click Sync.
    OR
    If you have iCloud enabled on your iOS 5.0.1 iPhone and iCloud compatible Mac (you didn't say whether you had a Mac or PC), it should be there already.
    OR
    Go to Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync and initiate a sync.
