How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library is empty)?

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:

How do i transfer music from itunes to iphone

how do i transfer music from my itunes account to my iphone? I was able to sync purchases from my phone to itunes, but can't move my music to my phone.

This series of posts was very helpful to me in fixing a problem I had encountered (apart from the various rude comments made by those who seem to have no patience with users who do not have their skill level...). The problem that I had is as follows -- at least I think this was the problem.
For some time I had been managing my music on my iPhone manually. That is, I simply dragged and dropped the music I wanted to my iPhone from my laptop using iTunes. Then, suddenly (it seemed to me) all of the music I had put on my iPhone seemed to disappear except one album that I had recently bought. I kept putting music on the iPhone, and it would work fine, and then it would disappear again. I looked through manuals and settings and couldn't seem to figure this out. Now what I've determined is that iTunes must have changed something in a more recent version that deletes music that is not "synced" with each new sync of the phone. (dragging and dropping had worked on my iPhone and iPod for some years previously... but i think with an upgrade of the iTunes software things changed.)
So, following the suggestions in this discussion, I went to iTunes with my phone plugged in. Clicked on the device (i.e., my phone). From the Music tab (at the top), clicked on Sync Music. (Previously I had not followed through on this step, because there was a warning message that said all the content on my phone would be erased -- technically false, because it would only erase music on the phone, not everything.) But when I did click on the Sync Music, accepted the warning, and then clicked on "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres," there then appeared a very nice set of checklists that allows for on-going management of music on the iPhone. (I didn't know about this checklist because it didn't appear... I had thought that "checking" was something that was to be done from the main music menus...)
Anyway, the system of checking playlists, albums, etc. is quite nice for managing music on the phone, because my phone will not hold all of the music that I own, so I can update the phone by syncing so that it holds only that portion of the library that I want to use at the moment. (Sometimes I'm listening to the Blues on a daily basis, sometimes to Beethoven...) So, even though this discussion didn't tell me all of this, it did give me the lead that I needed to get there.
So, as a comment to our rude fellow commentators here: I've been working with Macs and Apple equipment for over 20 years. I don't go back to re-read all of the manuals every time I upgrade software. And when Apple doesn't tell you that they've changed something in their software that invalidates a procedure that you've been using for years, it can look very strange. Then, when you do go to the manuals to search for the problem, rarely do you find (at lease rarely do I find) any explanation that a new procedure is in fact a new procedure that invalidates an old and trusted procedure. This is a problem that I run into periodically, and it makes me feel stupid, and it may make my questions posted to forums seem stupid to others. Other users are new to Apple, its software, its devices, and may have other reasons for asking simple questions. If the question is so simple to you that you don't want to waste your time with it... well... then don't. But don't insult other people who need help. Leave it to those who can take the time to be courteous and helpful. In this case, even though I'm a long-time user, it was responses to really basic questions that led me to the fix for a problem that had been annoying me for weeks.
So, thanks to those of you with simple, basic questions, and thanks also to those of you who helped.

Transfer music from laptop to iphone 4s

While trying to transfer files from my laptop to my iPhone 4s (using iTunes 11), I get an error stating, "some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone because they could not be found". Could you please help?

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

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 Mac to iPhone WITHOUT iTunes?

I'd like to transfer (not sync, just transfer) songs from my Mac to my iPhone. How can I do this without going through iTunes software?
I know there was another software I used to do this with... something like iFun or iExplorer; but neither of those will transfer from iPhone to Mac. I've searched the web several times for such software, came up empty.

"The only reason it would delete songs on your phone that you had no physical copy of would be if you tried to sync it with a different iTunes library."
Yes, I know that. That's why I mentioned I have two computers. I also know you can redownload songs from iTunes. The songs don't come from iTunes. I don't know why you wish to devolve my query into a legal battle (like I'm sure you're a copyright lawyer for the RIAA) but number one, who said they were copyrighted songs? Not me. Number two, even if they were, yes the copies are mine if I choose to make copies. At least in my country, that's the case. That fact does not change if I lose the original, if the original source is unplayable, or if it burned up in a fire. Are you an international copyright attorney too? If so, you're not a very good one. And I posted a simple query. I didn't post it to be told to buy a different phone. If you can't answer the query, then why are you here? Just to argue for iTunes and copyrights? I already mentioned that there is software that exists to do what I want, so I obviously do not need to buy another phone. I just want better software at this point.

How to download itunes music from laptop to iphone

I have song downloaded on itunes to my laptop, how do I download to my iphone???

Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload it directly on your phone via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone.
If not then you can connect the pne to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of the computer's iTunes (you can enable the seidbarvia option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync it to your phone.
