How do i put songs from an iphone onto a new mac?

i have no idea how to put songs onto a new computer/blank itunes

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.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

How can i transfer songs from my iPhone 4s to new mac

I recently got a new MacBook (My first one ) but the problem is my old PC crashed and I lost all of my songs that were on that computer. The only songs I have left are on my iPhone. Is there anyway I could simply transfer the songs on my iPhone to my new MacBook? of course, when I go to "sync" my phone to my new iTunes, which is my old account, it says that everything will be erased and what is in my new iTunes library (which is empty) will be transfered to my phone.
Please help!!!! I am still learning this MacBook so please forgive my stupidity! Go Team Apple!

Re-downloading all your purchased music (apps, ibooks, videos, everything) is easy if you purchased them from Apple. Assuming they are still available, you simply download them again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Retrieving music that you copied from CD or other sources is not easy. Music is supposed to go from your computer to the iPhone, not the other way around. Moving its content to a computer is contrary to the design.
I wish I had a dollar for everyone with a Windows PC who asked this question. Given their predilection for attracting viruses and other sordid malware, Windows PCs crash with disturbing regularity. Now that you made the wise decision to replace it with a MacBook, get an external backup disk (external hard disk drive, or Time Capsule) and simply use Time Machine. Plug it in and Time Machine does the rest. The drudgery of backing up your system becomes painless and totally forgettable, and recovering from a crash becomes a non-event.
Here is some guidance retrieved from an old post. Since it is old, some of the links may not work:
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

How do I put songs from my iphone onto itunes?

The only way to do this is to purchase 3rd party software such as Touch Copy. iTunes will transfer purchased music from your phone to your iTunes library (by right-clicking on your phone in iTunes and selecting Transfer Purchases), but not music that wasn't purchased from iTunes. If the other computer is at your home, on the same network and logged into the same Apple ID you can use Home Sharing to copy music from one iTunes library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

How can I download songs from my PC to my new Mac?

I am having trouble transfering the songs from my PC to my Mac. I was told that I can use iCloud but I'm not sure how to do that. Can someone please help me?

Hi bkokomoor!
I have a couple of articles here that will provide you with some options for moving your music from your old PC to your new Mac. The first outlines a couple of different methods for getting your iTunes library onto your new computer, and can be found here:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
As you hinted at earlier, you can also use the cloud to re-download all of your previously purchased items from the iTunes Store on your new Mac. An article about doing that can be found here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
You can also choose to migrate a large swath of your data from your old PC to your new Mac, including your iTunes library, by using a program built into your Mac called Migration Assistant:
Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files or system to your Mac

Take care, enjoy your new Mac, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

How do I transfer data from two computers onto my new mac?

I recently bought a new macbook pro with retina display after owning an iBook G4 and a powermac for 7 years but I now want to transfer the data from both of my computers (which both only have one account) onto my new computer. I'm wondering if it is possible to transfer the data from both of the computers onto my new one and if so how. Another issue is that my ibook had recently broken but the only issue was the ram was not working so I had the data recovered and put on an external hard drive so now what was on my ibook is now on an external hard drive. I really want to know if I can still transfer both computers onto my new one or if I can only transfer one of the computers onto my new one and I have to transfer the other one manually. Any ideas?

Migrating is simple and complicated at the same time, in your case simple to transfer files (e.g. films, pictures, docs...), and difficult for settings and all hidden stuff. My piece of advice is to use iBackup (grapefruit.ch) for system settings, which does not take too much, and simple drag-and-drop from older macs unto the new one. I would use firewire, as Retina does not this port, try to purchase a FW-to-ThB adapter, it may be worth having it. Connect the new mac to the old ones one after another, and restart the old ones in target mode (press T after chime), they will turn intro external drives, and may easily transfer anything.
If you are not familiar with iBackup, perhaps it is better to Migration Assistant, I do hope it works with older Mac OS. Note that, used after settings a new mac, it will create new users for the transfered data. The advantage is, they will transfer files and settings, but perhaps more than you really need.
Ort, as BGreg says, manual transfer of all files, this may prove slower, but you may have full control of all operations.

My Computer crashed-how do i put songs from iPod back onto computer?

my computer crashed a while back and i lost everything. my iPod still has my songs but i'm not sure how i can (or if i can) get them back onto my computer!!! do i need to reinstall the iTunes CD? please help!!! thanks!!!!

If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

How do I transfer songs from my iPhone to my new computer?

I know how to transfer songs puchased from iTunes, but what about my other songs?

The ipod is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

My Itunes decided to update itself without my consent and while it updated it erased my songs. I have an Iphone 4 and I want to put the songs inside my Itunes in my Mac Pro how can I do that?? not all the songs I have on my phone are bought.

It has always been very basic to always maintain to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

Transfer your library from your old computer. If that isn't possible then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
