How do you download music from your iphone onto your computer ?

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 designed for 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 purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
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 you download music from your computer to your ipod touch

    I am trying to download my music from my computer to my iPod Touch and when I plug it in it says no device found!

    Hi Joshie Pumped Up Boudreaux,
    When you connect your iPod to your computer, is the iPod's battery dead? If so, it won't turn on for about 10-15 minutes (at least). Once the battery has enough charge, you should see the Apple logo, and it should start up.
    Otherwise, see this article if you're using a Windows computer or this one if you're using a Mac.
    Hope this helps,
    O.C.

  • How do you download music from your other computer to your new one?

    I have 2 ipods with music from my old computer on it and now my new computer doesnt give me the option to download my music to itunes. I REALLY WANT TO BUY NEW SONGS! please help us figure out how to do this! thanks

    You need to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one. You can use Migration Assistant or just copy the files from one to another.
    If they were purchased from the iTunes Store all you have to do is "authorize" the computer to play them. You can authorize up to five computers.

  • How to i download music from my iphone to my computer that I didnt purchase on Itunes?

    My old Iphone is from 2011 and I recently damaged it.  I filed an insurance claim and got a new Iphone.  When I backed up my old Iphone, Itunes would only take the music I purchased on Itunes.  How do I get the music that I didnt purchase on Itunes over to my new Iphone?  Mind you, these music files are very old and were uploaded from computers I no longer have.  There has to be a way.  Please tell me how.  I have over 750 songs I didnt purchase through Itunes and I have to erase my old Iphone and send it back to the insurance company.  Please help!!!

    How do I download music from my iPhone to my ipad

    You don't - not directly anyway. You can download the music again in the purchased tab of the iTunes app on the iPad. You will not be charged as long as you use the same Apple ID.
    You can also transfer the music into iTunes on your computer and then sync the songs to the iPad. This will only work for music purchased from iTunes.

  • HT1473 How do you move music from itunes on a windows computer to an iPhone 5,  Music from my existing collection?

    How do you move music from itunes in a XP computer to an iPhone 5?

    You copy the content of your iTunes Library to the iPhone by connecting to the iPhone to your computer, using the USB lead that came wiht the phone, and allowing iTunes and the iPhone to Sync with one another.
    This will leave the content in your iTunes Library. An iPhone (or iPod) is not desinged to be the only location for your music (or other content). The idea is that the iPhone (or iPod) has a copy of the Library.
