How do i transfer music from my ipnone 4 to my  itunes library?

i cant copy or drag and drop music from my iphone to my itune library or pc.

You have to "sync" the music to the PC through iTunes. You cannot just drag and drop the music as if it were a flash drive or something like that.
And usually, you are only allowed to sync your music to the computer that you originally set it up on, and not on someone else's computer or like your work computer. To do that you would have to reset the iPhone and wipe all the media off of it. (and I don't think that's what you want)

    I want to get my music from my ipod to my itunes library. is this even possible?
    PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!!

    Hi Liv-itup,
    Yes, it is possible.
    I assume you must have downloaded on some other machine than the one you want your music on...
    First, Authorize your current machine to your iTunes account - iTunes.app>Store>Authorize Computer.
    Second, get yourself a copy of Senuti (iTunes backwards) - it's free:

    and off you go.

    how do I transfer songs from my iPhone to my macbook iTunes library?

    If they were purchased then you simply transfer purchases

    Songs should reside in iTunes, if you have any non-purchased content on the phone you will need a 3rd party program to transfer

    how do i transfer music from one ipod to another using itunes

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There is more than one way, but to get it all on all devices, connect the first device to iTunes and choose to transfer the music from the device from the file menu. Once everything is in iTunes connect the second device, select the device in the device list, navigate to the music tab and check the content you wish to sync, click apply/sync.

  • How do I transfer music from my ipod or macbook pro (itunes) to my ipad

    How do you transfer music from my macbook pro to someone's Ipad?

    This doesn't appear to be an option anymore. 
    I can check songs but there's no transfer button -
    Syncing doesn't transfer songs in that direction -
    You can add to a playlist but the song still isn't there.

  • Please help - how do I import music from my ipod into a new itunes library?

    Hello
    I would very much appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get the music from my old ipod mini into the new itunes library on my new laptop.
    The mini was previously sync'd with my old PC which died so my files are only present on the ipod. Upon loading itunes, the software is only letting my sync the ipod providing I wipe it (obviously not desirable...)
    Thanks for any support, Andy

    Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" as you already know will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However 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. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iRepo Mac and Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • How can you transfer data from an ipod touch to the itunes library without having all your data deleted?

    I have a laptop and the hard drive had to be replaced because it WILL NOT work (This broken hard drive will be refered to as "HD1" from now on). So I had no choice but to have HD1 replaced with a better hard drive (the new one will be refered to as "HD2" from now on). I had HD1 for about 5 years, but what is stuck on HD1 is my itunes library will all of my music, like I said before HD1 will not work so I cannot retrieve any of my itunes data, or any data to be exact. But also, my data that was synced in HD1's itunes library is also on my ipod touch, which is still functional for the time being. HD2 has been installed and working perfectly and I installed itunes on it as well. If I synced my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library, all of my music on the ipod touch will get deleted. What I'm trying to do is have all of my music on my ipod touch transfered to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted.
    Key things to remember:
    -"HD1" is my broken hard drive
    -"HD2" is my new and awesome hard drive
    -I can't access HD1 at all because it doesn't work
    -I have an ipod touch with all of HD1's music on it
    -HD2 has an empty itunes library on it
    -I need a way to transfer all the data on my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted
    Is there someone, anyone who can help me out with this?

    I think so when you sign in your itunes library with your apple id which you were using on HD1 the data will be transfered or simply use icloud.

  • How to move my music from my itouch back to my itunes library

    i had to restore my computer so now i have no music on it. I want to move my music from my Ipod back to my Itunes on my computer. Last time i tried this i clicked sync and it just deleted all my msic off my ipod. this just seems like the dumbest thing in the world that syncing cant go both ways. Please help me

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.  Certainly you did not restore your computer without making sure that your backup copy of your computer was up to date.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I transfer music from my ipod to my PC/iTunes

    I've recently purchased a new computer and I created a new iTunes account as my old computer crashed. All my music is still on my iPod but how do I transfer my music from iPod to my PC/iTunes?
    Thank you

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.
