How do I transfer music from an old iphone/dated account to my new account?

I have an old iphone that has music from an old itunes account. I would like to transfer the songs to my mac which my new account is setup on. How do I do this?
Thanks!

Also keep in mind that unless the media are DRM protected (all movies, and all music prior to about 2009) once you have the files on your computer (which you should if you purchased these) then their use is pretty flexible.  It is really when you start getting into re-downloading or trying to use iCloud services that multi-account services are tough. Even then you can try using Family Sharing or Home Sharing to facilitate using media from different accounts.

    How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music on the old phone synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library on the laptop is empty) ?
    I tried the "Transfer Purchases" option - however this only worked for apps - not sure if I'm missing some sort of setting.
    I do not want to use iCloud as I do not have enough space for my music.
    Thanks!

    You cannot. The music must be in the iTunes library first. See these User Tips:

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for 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 purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    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 can I transfer music from my old iPad to my new MacBook ?
    My old MacBook was stolen and now I have all my music still on my IPad but like to get it back in my ITunes as well, is this possible ?

    If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, simply sign into your iTunes Store account on iTunes. From there, go to the main page of the store. Then, on the right, there should be a purchased button. Tap there, and walla! You can download all of your past purchases. If it wasn't from the iTunes Store, use a third party Mac app.

    if from 3rd party you have to put songs on computer and sync from itunes.  Apple doesnt support syncing from ios to itunes so you will have to already have the songs on pc.

  • How do I transfer music from an old ipod shuffle to a new one?

    How do I transfer music from my old not working ipod shuffle to a new one?

    If the music on this nonworking Shuffle is not in your iTunes library or in a backup somewhere, I'm afraid you are out of luck. You'll need to redownload any past purchases you had on there via iCloud. It shouldn't cost you anything.  See here for more details.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For all other non-iTunes purchases content, you'll need to redownload/re-rip it to iTunes again from its original source such as another MP3 store or from CD.
    If the music that was on the older Shuffle is still in your iTunes library, simply configure it to sync to the new Shuffle.

    How do you transfer music from an old ipod to a nano?

    Restoring the new iPod from the backup of your old iPod will result in the new iPod being the same as the old iPod except that you will have to reenter keychain items like passwords since keychain items are only restored to the same unless you use an encrypted backup.

    If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
    Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
    If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
    If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
    The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
    Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
    To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"
