How do we Back up my music files from my phone into my computer (PC) without using any programs

I am looking for a way to back up my Music from my iPhone into the computer (Like how the iPod Nano could) WITHOUT using any programs. Is there a way? Is it possible? If so, please help....
thankyou
Charlie

Music purchased from the iTunes store can be redownloaded again for free (see.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519)  In other words, it's already in iCloud so there's nothing you need to upload.
However, if you don't want to run into problems syncing with your new computer you need to copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

    Restore the device from the backup created.
    If no backup exists, there is nothing to recover.

  • How do I transfer non-iTunes music files from my iPad to my MacBook using home sharing?

    My MacBook Pro hard drive recently had to be replaced by Apple, because it quit for some reason they couldn't identify. However, now my ipad2 doesn't recognize my macbook pro and I have at least 200 music files in my library on my iPad that I did not get from iTunes. I need to upgrade my iPad to iOS 5 but I also don't want to lose all those music files. I was hopeful I could use home sharing to sync my iTunes libraries, but I can't figure out how to export files from my iPad. Please help, anyone?

    I was hopeful I could use home sharing to sync my iTunes libraries,
    Unfortunately, you can only stream content to your iOS devices via home sharing (not sync it).
    I'd have a check through the following user tip instead:

  • HT4889 I have accidentally created another account when using Migration Assistant to a new MBA. How do I now 'migrate' all the files from both accounts into one to save myself having two accounts, both of which are me? Help?

    I have accidentally created another account when using Migration Assistant to a new MBA. I have read that I probably should not have skipped migration in the initial set up and the problem would have been avoided but, alas, here I am. Does anyone know how I can 'migrate' all the files from one of the accounts that has been created to the other, so then I can delete it and have a single user on the computer seeing as I am the only person using it? I have read starting again, if this is the way to go, where is the best place to start 'starting again'?

    Yes definitely should see it but its not coming up (I don't think) when I log out of 2nd user and into the main account. Opening finder in the 2nd account, I can obviously find the public folder because thats where I dropped all the files, but when in the main account, it can't be found. The only public folder that comes up is the folder for that account (main account) and it does not display files I'm looking for. Frustrating....
    EDIT: Have found it through a round-about way but all music and photo and movie etc files have a red stop sign disallowing them from being transferred. Can you guess what the next question will be?

  • Need up transferring music files from windows phone

    I have a zune as a MP3 player which my Mac reads as a windows phone via the windows phone app. There is an import button to import pictures and videos from it onto my computer (which hasn't worked anyway) however, I can't figure out how to transfer all of my music from my zune onto my Mac book. I realize there is the very long way of plugging the zune into a regular computer and transferring the data onto a USB/memory stick and then transferring onto my Mac. I'm just hoping that there is some possible way of just importing it straight from my zune onto my Mac if anyone can help.
    Keep in mind, I know how to get music from my Mac onto my zune. It's the opposite that I'm having trouble with.
    Thank you.

    Hi John,
    Welcome to the Mac Forums!
    Sorry you are having problems. The "Priviliges" problem you are having has nothing to do with files being locked. It has to do with the way Mac OS tracks who is allowed to see what data on your computer. This way when you have multiple users logged onto your Mac, each user can only see what they are allowed to see and can't rummage through everyone elses files. Keeps things private from other users. Unfortunately, it can create complications when copying files.
    I think the best solution for you is to set up your entire Windows iTunes library for "sharing." Then have your new Mac look for shared music on the wireless network. iTunes on the new Mac should then "see" all your Windows music. As long as you have the Mac set up as "authorized" in your iTunes account, you should be able to make copies or duplicates using iTunes of all the tracks in your library that are stored on your Mac hard drive.
    Hopefully this will work for you. I have not tried it, but from my knowledge of iTunes, it should work. Keep us posted.
    Cheers,

  • Transferring music/files from Iphone 3gs to new computer

    Hi
    I have previously transferred music form my ipod to an old laptop, both have since broken or been updated.... so lost the info for the website yamipod...I have had a look to help move everything but for some reason it doesn't work on my computer!! Wrong file and I tried installing two of three recommnded programs (FinalTorrent was one) it still wont let me do it....
    I also checked out (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1202) but it doesnt give me the options as shown on screen...
    I don't know if I'm being thick (pregnancy brain!!) or not but i really need easy to follow help to save my music on my iphone!
    Thanks Jules

    Hi Jules,
    You must use iTunes software only for syncing music to your iPhone. Yamipod is a third party iPod manager not supported by iTunes.
    Since iTunes is dependent on your internet connection, I doubt that FinalTorrent will work.
    Make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements for an iPhone 3GS.
    iPhone 3GS Tech Specs
    Windows system requirements
    PC with USB 2.0 port
    Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later

  • How may I prevent loss of Music - not from iTunes - on a new computer?

    The original iTunes Library I had for my iPod Touch was on a computer that has broken down.
    I am concerned about what I'm reading in the iTunes HELP files, because I see no way to prevent loss of my non-purchased (at least from iTunes) music when syncing with a newly authorized computer. I do not have all of the original CDs anymore for most of this music.
    I have just installed iTunes on this new computer & wish to save ALL current iPod Touch content into this new and empty iTunes Library!  What must I do to save my non-purshased content?
    I did just do a BACKUP of my iPod contents but have stopped there, not knowing if it will contain everything...  What now?
    THANKS!

    Well, I really do appreciate your input Kappy.  When it comes to doing backups, your info is correct and, in general, very helpful.  I am suspicious, however if it will actually have any bearing on the iTunes interaction and what iTunes will allow me to place into the new library.
    As for iTunes and what it will allow - or not allow, I'm not sure that the backup will allow me to slip it into the library per se.  I thinking that it's an iTunes issue instead of a backup issue, but maybe not...
    If I had any other model than a Touch, I believe I could use the iPod as a hard drive and transfer accordingly, but having a Touch, I do think my original question remains unanswered.
    Thanks again!

  • How do you import songs from your phone into another computer im on home sharing but it wants to wipe my music clean off when i clink to sync?

    trying to sync my old phone into a home sharing laptop to update all my music but unfortunatley it just wants to wipe clean my iphone of all the music ive purchased over the last year - how can i update this new itunes with a few songs already on it - from my phone, without losing any songs?

  • Was advised to delete system configuration file from hard drive and now computer will not start - any help would be appreciated.

    Downloaded Yosemite and since then cannot connect to internet or bluetooth mouse - was advised to delete system configuration file from the hard drive and since then cannot start up computer. Any help would be appreciated - cheers.

    Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys down.  The result should be a display showing a revolving globe.  By following the instructions, you will be able to reinstall the original OSX.  Then you may reinstall Yosemite.
    A solid Internet connection will be required.
