How do you transfer ALL music from iPhone to computer?

I got a new macbook pro and want to transfer all my music (also the ones that weren't purchased from the iTunes store) onto it. How?

The iPhone is not a storage/backup device.
You should copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • 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.

    If you only copy your Files you will lose your favorites. The best Way to copy your Library to the New Computer is to Export your libery (you can find the Export in the menue). This will copy your Wohle Library on cd. If you Out in These cd's in your new Computer iTunes will copy it with all informations.
    While that may work, it is extremely time consuming and unnecessary.
    Copying the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer will keep the library intact.

  • Best way to transfer my music from iphone to computer

    Best way to transfer mu music from Iphone to computer.

    Make sure you phone is logged into the Apple ID you used to purchase this music in Settings>Store.  If it isn't, tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you used.  You should then be able to see your purchased music on your phone in iTunes>Purchased>Music.  Also be sure you computer is auhorized for this ID in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer.

  • How do you put Voice Memos from iPhone to computer?

    I've had a very long chat with Apple Support and they don't seem to know the answer.
    My voice memos are important and are above 30MB so emailing isn't an option.
    I first synced my memos to my iTunes as usual (music doesn't sync with the library, bear in mind) and expected all my memos to appear, however they didn't. They appeared in the "on my device section" but I couldn't play them as the exclamation point appeared.
    Under Apple's instruction I updated to the new iTunes, and now the previous memos don't even appear in the "on my device" section. They said it's likely to do with ios 8. The memos I want were created in ios 8. And now they've randomly been duplicated on my phone so I have two of each?
    So after this iTunes update, I made a new memo, which again was duplicated, but now appears in the "on my device" part.
    What do I do to put the memos onto my computer somehow? I really need them!

    The following is pre iOS 8 but may have something that you missed: http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iosapps/transfer-voice-memos-from-iphone-to-com puter-3526349/
    One new thing I learned from it is that Evernote which I use for keeping some text notes in sync among various devices has a voice memo capability. Those would be automatically transferred. Here is some more information on that if you want to check it out for future use: https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/28606837

  • How do I upload all music from iphone to windows pc

    My pc died and all the music (purchased and old cds) is all on my iphone.  How do I upload all the music and not just purchased music back onto windows pc?

    If there is a way for you to remove your hard drive from your pc you can recover your music folder that way. you may have to find someone with a pc like yours to insert your hard drive in their pc to transfer all your files onto an external hard drive. once you find yourself a new pc, download iTunes on the new pc and transfer all the music/apps you recovered from the old pc hard drive(now in the external hard drive back into the music folder in your new pc. then use itunes to import all the same music and your library over. it worked for me. At some cases automatic downloads do take place so watch for that. if that happens duplicates of every song will populate. easy fix, just search for duplicates and delete from your library.
    hope this works

I have a new PC and I want to transfer all my music to it from my iPod. (I know how to transfer the purchased tunes, I want to transfer all the cd's that I've loaded).

    It is important to make a backup of your iTunes Music Library. In case of data loss, including hard drive failure or replacement, accidental deletion, and so forth, you'll be able to restore it from your backup.

  • 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.

  • HT3819 How do you transfer purchased music from one apple id to another?

    I have a different Apple ID on my ipad than my macbook and macbook pro, I have most music on the macbooks but some on ipad how do I combine? This happend because when I was at the apple store buying my ipad I could not remember my other ID, so we made a new one. Fast forward to now, I have downloaded music on the ipad and want it on the macbooks also. How do I transfer the purchased music to the macbooks soi can change my ID on the ipad to gain access to all?

    Authorize your computer for both accounts, then transfer the purchases to the computer:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You cannot change the account, but you can put them in the same library.

  • Transfer all music from iphone to new macbook pro

    I would like to transfer all my songs from my iphone which was sync with a PC to my new macbook book pro, i have transfered all the itunes purchased songs but cannot transfer all the other songs. I have transfered all contacts etc... to the new macbook, but no joy with the remaining songs. can anyone help?

    The conventional way to do this would be to just grab the songs from the PC where they originated. However, if you'd rather pull them directly from the iPhone, you'll need a 3rd party tool such as PhoneView. I hope this helps!

  • How do you transfer specific music from your computer to your ipod touch?

    Ive read threads of how to do this and so far none have helped...Im trying to add specific songs that are on my computer to my ipod touch (4th gen).  I do not want the songs on my ipod transfered to my computer. 
    When I go to the ipod device in the menu collum of itunes on my computer, & then pick the "music" tab in the menu bar I get very limited options that I can choose.
    it says
    1. sync music .... If I try this selection a warning msg pops up " all existing content on ipod will be removed & replaced with songs & playlist from your itunes library"  I don't want this! I just want songs added to ipod
    2. below this selection are 4 options inside a gray box.  These selections are not available for reasons unknown to me.  They read
      a.  Entire music library
       b.  Selected playlist, artist, albums, and genres
       c.  include music videos
       d.  include voice memos
    selections a,  c, & d have tick marks by them
    As far as I have found up to this point this is somwhere close to the vicinity that I want to be in order to get done what I want to get done.  I don't know... perhaps I'm coming at this from the wrong angle.  Maybe I should use the ipod , and come at itunes from its interface?...

    I have not sync with another computer.  Brand new Ipod touch from christmas.  same computer.  I have however conected it to this computer before & because I was ingnorant it synced automatically with this same computer.  I was ****** because it messed everything up.  So I erased my ipod completlely and started over.  I also un-installed itunes and started over with its as well.  I then put only music that I wanted on my ipod onto my computer in itunes. 
    Now I cant figure out how to get that specific music on my ipod... this is all very maddening!!.. I feel like throughing both computer and ipod out my 2 story bedroom window
