How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?
I have tried to do this through home sharing but as I don't have the old laptop it wont let me.
Any HELP please?!?
Would be much appreciated.

The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?

    How do I load music from my ipod to itunes on my new mac, I do not have my old mac?

    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

  • My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my phone, but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it.

    My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. I have lost all music & data that was on this original itunes. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone (music & photos) onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my iphone (3GS), but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it. Help please!!

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal or Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

  • How do I transfer music from my Creative Zen Micro to my new Mac Mini?

    My Mac Mini does nothing when I plugged my Zen in by usb. My old Windows computers would automatically detect new hardware and lead me through the process.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How do I transfer music from my iPod nano 4 to my new mac when my old one is broken

    Well, I have an iPod nano 4 and a MacBook Pro (2009 or whatever) with iTunes 11 and my old hard drive broke in it and I lost all my music. I did not have a backup but I realised I still had it all on my nano. I need to transfer it all to my computer without re-downloading all the music but I don't know how. I'm able to open up the iPod in iTunes and look at the music on it, play it and even copy it (when it's connected) but I can't paste it or drag it anywhere. Please will someone help me.

    iTunes will alow you to transfer your itunes purchases (plug in iPod, right click on device in itunes, select transfer purchases). For the rest of your music, try this: http://www.transferpod.com/

  • How do I transfer wma on flash drive to itunes on my new mac?

    I've copied thousands of songs from windows media player to a flash stick and thought I'd just plug it into my new macbook and drag the files to itunes...not that easy apperantly. I downloaded a program called Aimersoft video converter but I have to go into each artist then each of their albums then scroll over all the songs in that album and convert, then I have to move them into itunes from there. No artist or album info comes up in itunes after that just the song name (not very organized). At this rate it will take me ten years to transfer all my wma files. there must be an easier way. BTW this Aimersoft will only let me convert so many files before they make me purshase the whole program. PLEASE HELP!! the sales rep at Apple said this would be easy... so far that's a NOT!!!!

    iTunes for Mac does not convert WMA files.
    You will need a 3rd party program.
    You can use Windows Media Player, convert the files and simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

  • How do I transfer music off of my ipod 30gb into my library?

    How do I transfer music off of my ipod 30gb into my library?

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection (Yamipod has already been mentioned above), you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

  • HT204406 How do you transfer music from your ipod to itunes match?

    How do you transfer music from your ipod to itunes match? I recently bought itunes match and it wont allow me to add songs from my ipod to the music library and match. Before I bought it, it would not allow me to transfer it either. After my purchase, I thought it would solve the problem but it did not. Any solutions?

    You can't do it from an iPod, you can only do it from your computer's iTunes
