How do I sync the music from my iPhone to iTunes on my mac?

I got a new macbook and I can't sync the music from my iPhone to iTunes.. How do i do that?

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
The sync is one way - computer iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

    - You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
    go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

  • How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old computer?

    How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old Hewitt packard computer?
    Thought by connecting my phone to computer it would automatically duplicate. Only seems to work with a small amount of music which I downloaded through my mac
    Im no expert with computers so need some step by step advice
    I have over 1000 songs on my iphone and want to back it up on my mac itunes
    Want to upgrade my iphone and dont want to loose my music and ideally want to import it onto my new iphone
    Need help?

    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.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. 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.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library?

    Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library? I want to have a copy of the music on iTunes so when I update to a newer version of iOS I don't lose my music. And no I didn't buy this music off iTunes and neither will I use iTunes Match.

    There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
    All of your media should be in iTunes already.
    If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
    If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

  • My pc crashed and bought a new one.  how do i sync the music from iphone to new pc?

    My primary pc for syncing both my iPhone and iPad crashed.  I have a new computer and have synced the apps but not the music on the iphone.  How can I transfer the music from the iPhone to the new computer?

    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.  Use this to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy (not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.

    Just recently I got a new laptop which means a fresh, new itunes. The old computer had all my songs but it's a really slow old computer so i can no longer sync my iphone to it anymore. so i was wondering how could i sync the music i have on my iphone to my new itunes on my laptop? the only option i've seen is syncing the 3 sample songs i have on my itunes to my iphone but then i would lose all my other songs. help.

    How do I transfer the music from my phone to my itunes....

    If you were using a Mac you could use a program but AFAIK there is nothing similar yet for the PC.
    However, you should have a backup of your music, correct? Just restore from that backup to your computer (and, if not, at least this will teach you the importance of always backing up your music purchases onto writable media like DVD).

  • HT1766 How do I save the music from my iphone 5c to my laptop?

    Hi,
    How do I save the the music from my iphone 5c to my laptop?
    Thank you.

    Hello daisyruth,
    If the music on your iPhone 5c was purchased from iTunes there are two different ways to get this music to your iTunes library. You can either connect your iPhone to iTunes and transfer the purchases or you can download your purchases directly to your iTunes library from the iTunes program itself. The following articles will help you get that music to your computer.

  • How do I get the music from my iphone to my new computer?

    We just got a new computer and not all of my songs were from itunes. Is there any way of getting them from my iphone to my computer?

    Open iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect your iPhone.
    If at any point you get a message that your phone is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your phone.
    iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod or iPhone to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.
