How do I upload my music from my iPhone 4S to iTunes so I can then transfer to an iPod?
Hi there
I hope the above makes sense. I have over a 1000 songs on my iphone but 400 in iTunes. I want to upload my iPhone library to iTunes so i can then sync with a new iPod?
Please someone help...
Thanks
As I said, you can transfer itunes purchases.
As everything else came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there, and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.

How do I upload my music from my iPhone 3G to my iTunes account on a computer with Windows 7?
How do I upload my music from my iPhone 4 to my iTunes account on a computer operting Windows 7 (computer A)? All of my music is in my iTunes account on another computer operating Windows 7 (computer b), but I can't seem to get my iTunes account on computer a to recognize the music on computer b (it is the same shared iTunes account), nor can I figure out how to get all of that music, which also is on my iPhone, transferred from my iPhone to computer a.

I got a new computer and somehow have lost some of my more recently purchased and or imported music. I have some of that music on an iphone and some on an ipad. How do I get the music from those devices into my itunes library without losing everything else?
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
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. 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.

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 do I get my music from my iphone back to itunes?
When I downloaded the upgraded itunes I lost all of my downloaded music from itunes but it is still on my iphone. How do I get my music from my iphone3 back to itunes without loosing it as I now have a new iphone5 and i would like the music put on that phone?
The iphone is not a backup device. The sync is one way -computer iphone.
The exception is itunes purchases.
You can transfer itunes purchases to your computer by opening itunes,connecting iphone clicking File>Transfer Purchases -
Hi, Can anyone help, the music on my iphone was loaded from a itunes library that I no longer have access to. Does anyone know how to download the music from my iphone to a new itunes library account on my computer?
yeah... that's just bad advice because it simply doesn't work that way.
iPhones like all iDevices are designed to sync to one and only one computer.
Please refrain from giving incorrect advice.
To the OP, a simple search of the forums or a little reading in the User's Guide would have provided the correct steps on how to get the music purchased via iTunes onto another computer without deleting it off the device. FYI, it has nothing to do with the device or connecting it to another computer. Simply copy the files from the original computer to the new computer, or redownload them on the new computer. -
How to backup apps and music from an iphone 3g using itunes 11
Hi, my godson has been using an iPhone 3G as an iPod for music and gaming apps. I want to give him my iPhone 4 (not a 4S) and I have iTunes 11 (registered with my appleID) on my Win8 laptop. I've done a Backup of the 3G and then restored to the 4, the settings and photos "transferred" with the Restore operation, but the apps and music didn't "transfer." How do I backup (all apps and music and photos,etc.--everything on the 3G--to the iPhone 4 using iTunes 11. I think I could have done it easily with older versions of iTunes (with the "Explorer" bar on the left side of iTunes), but I can't seem to figure out how to do it with iTunes 11.
Thanks!Read my post here. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3286150?tstart=0

How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4? The car manual says to consult the phone's Bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have a manual for that.
That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.

HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?
How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?
An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account. An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state). If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum. -

Hi, susiebroll.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You will need to reset your old Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below to transfer your purchases from your old Apple ID to your Mac. If you do not have access to the email account or are not receiving the password reset link, see the second article.
