How to download music from iPhone to iTunes on computer

I have been trying to download my music from my phone to my new itunes. How do I accomplish this?

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.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. 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.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    How do I download music from iphone to computer/itunes

    Wjosten ... sorry to push in to this discussion ... but I have a related music question ... and thought you might be able to answer.
    I know iOS does not enable audio files to be attached to text messages.  I assume this is to prevent illegal sharing of songs.  But who is actually saying 'no.'   Is it the music owners (studios and publishers) who fear they will lose control of copyrighted songs (a la Napster)?  Or is it Apple protecting the iTunes business.  Or both.  I wouldn't blame either ... they are just protecting their IP.  I'm just curious.  I wonder if the music companies suddenly decided to allow some kind of music file sharing via text messages ... would Apple (and Google) go along and enable such sharing on smartphones and devices ??

  • How to download music from iPhone 4?

    How to download music from iphone4 to new mac without deleting the old data from the iPhone4?
    my frnd slip coffee on my old mac so had to get a new one and now want to add new songs onto my phone but don't want to loose my old songs.
    Any suggestion??? without buying ripping software, as i have already send a lot not the new mac book pro

    iOS devices are not and have never been backup devices.
    Move the content from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.
    Hopefully this clumsy friend either paid for or at the very least contributed to the replacement cost of the new computer.
    If for some silly reason you have failed to maintain a backup, downloading past purchases from iTunes.

    Copy everything from the old computer, or backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

  • How to download music on iPhone to iTunes?

    Hi-
    I have an iPhone 5 and I have downloaded an album from another computer which is not a purchase I made from iTunes, it was a CD download on the computer that I put on my phone through iTunes. That computer is no longer functioning. I want to get that album from my iPhone to my computer, but I do not have a disk drive so I want to download the music from my iPhone to iTunes. I can't figure out how to do this.
    Thanks for the help

    The iPhone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iPhone.
    The only exception is iTunes purchases.
    You may be able to buy a third party program at your risk to extract the music.
    Did you not maintain a backup copy of your old computer?

  • How to transfer music from iphone to itunes on the computer using vista?

    I was given an iphone 3 after my other phone quit while on vacation from a family member. I am new to the apple world, by the way! This iphone has alot of music on it and it will not sync to my laptop to transfer the music to the library. So, I was wondering how to transfer the music from the iphone to my computer/itunes! Someone help! Thank you! O and if there is a way to do this without using a 3rd party software, that would be even better!

    What you're asking to do is NOT legal. You do not own the music and the person who gave it to you does not have the legal right to give you copies of it unless they are the holder of the copyright.

  • How to transfer music from iPhone to iTunes?

    I recently made the switch from PC to mac. I'm loving it so far except I have one problem; I can't get my music from my iPhone onto iTunes. Not all of my music was purchased from the iTunes store so I can't just retrieve it using my apple id. The computer that had all the music saved crashed so I couldn't transfer the music with an external drive. I was told I would have to use a third party software in order to transfer my music from my iPhone to the iTunes. I have downloaded a bunch and they are all trial versions that have a limit to the number of songs I am able to transfer. Does anyone know of any free softwares that can do this?

    if you want the music, you'll have to pay in order to do that http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php

  • How to transfer music from iPhone to iTunes library

    I noticed my options for syncing my music between my iPhone and iTunes is limited to iTunes purchases. I can transfer purchases from my phone to my library, but what do I do about my music from CDs? How do I transfer my songs and playlists from my iPhone to my libary? I used a different computer to get my songs from the CDs to my iPhone, and I am not about to go hunting down those disks deep in the storage closet in my basement when I have them right here on my iPhone. If I have to transfer the songs as files into a folder to then transfer back into Itunes, what audio format do I use? How can I see what format my existing songs are?

    you could use 3rd party apps such as PhoneView and iRip.

  • HT1386 How to download music from ITouch to ITunes? It has stopped working.

    When I first connected ITouch to ITunes it worked beautifully. Now it syncs the first three steps but does not add or delete music from either device. Any thoughts?
    FYI - I have downloaded latest version of ITunes. I am running Windows 2007.

    Refresh my memory as to what is step 3?
    Does it complete the sync or freeze?
    What is Windows 2007?
