How do i transfer my music from iPhone to my Mac

I've just recently bought a MacBook Pro, so i was excited to be able transfer all my info from iPhone onto the laptop. However after I synced my phone onto iTunes nothing transfered into my music library, apps or contact library. I have tried using iCloud but my i Phone 4 just doesn't seem to like it, just comes up with "enter username and password" randomly all the time now, and when i plug my phone in to charge it will say "not enough data"?
Please can you help me!

The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  it simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itues purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How do I transfer outgoing emails from iphone to my mac? (I have use POP3)

    I have now a small trouble with my mail account. I would like to switch from POP3 to IMAP serwer, but first I would like to copy all my sent mails from my iPhone to my mac (where my phone is sync). How can I do that?

    iTunes doesn't sync the actual emails, only the account settings.
    So, those sent emails won't sup up in the POP email account on your iPhone.

    I have I Tunes, but the back up only transferred my contacts from Outlook.

  • How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?

    hi,
    i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
    1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
    2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
    Thank you!!

    I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
    The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic.

  • I have an IPhone 5, and of course I have used ITunes. My Computer has been completely destroyed, so I have to Purchase a new one. How can I transfer my music from my iPhone to my New PC?

    The way I do it is I hook to my windows computer, it will pop up iTunes. I click iTunes off. The phone will show as another drive on your computer. Click it open then migrate to the photos folder from the iPhone.
    Then select all, cut then right click on your pictures folder on your computer or make a new folder on your desk top like I do and right click on new folder and select paste.
    Photos will be gone. Just remember to turn off the iPhone sync in your photos folder on the phone or they will come back
    Good Luck

    - 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.
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

    Use the backup of the old computer and copy the iTunes files to the new one.
    However, since you are writing here, you probably didn't have a backup, so check out this user provided support document https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    How can I detele the items that i have already added?

    Via the iTunes sync process.
    And deleting music from your iPhone can be done the same way or if your iPhone 4 is running iOS 5, you can delete songs direct from the iPhone one at a time.
