That is correct.  the music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The iphone is not a backup device.
Copy everything from the old computer, or backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

    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.

    iTunes will transfer your purchases from your iPhone to your new computer by using File>Transfer Purchases. For the rest of the content that’s on your iPhone use a program called TouchCopy which works on Windows and the Mac. It transferred my music, photos, contacts and SMS to my new computer very well.

    If music was obtained via third party then you can transfer it anywhere in a supported way by apple

    How to transfer music from iPhone to new Windows 7 PC?

    Your iPhone is not a backup/storage device. You can transfer music from iPhone to iTunes: go to ~/Music/iTunes in your previous account (I presume you mean that you made a "new account" on your Mac) and copy all its contents to somewhere in your new account (not ~/Music/iTunes). Then drag the entire iTunes folder onto the iTunes app icon.

  • Hi all - any idea how to download songs from an old AOL iTunes account - have updated to Apple ID which is fine for new songs but didn't realise this wouldn't include the old songs.  Have a 1st gen ipod with the original purchases on if that helps

    ....... is there a way for me to get my old music library (which was controlled by my dad's apple ID) onto my new mac, but from that point on, start using my own apple ID for purchases?........
    Yes, once the content is in iTunes on your computer, just click it to play and authorise your computer to play it by entering your Dad's ID and password.
    Log into your own account and start purchasing your own content which will then be added to the existing content.

  • How to download music from iphone to computer

    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 contacts from iPhone 4 to iTunes?

    How do you download contacts from iphone 4 to itunes?  I followed the steps but I cant find them in itunes.

    You don't.  Itunes is not a contact/address program.  It does not contain your contacts.
    They would be in whatever program you chose to sync.  Address Book for example.

    If your music has a cloud icon means the music is not on your iPhone/computer iTunes locally.
    You can download the music through Purchased tab then sync your iPhone with the music selected.

  • How to export music from iPhone to new PC?

    I recently purchased a new PC and was unable to transfer the music library from its predecessor. Currently, that library lives on my iPhone. Is there a way to export the music library from my iPhone to a PC? I've tried backing up the phone to the PC and to iCloud but haven't been able to locate said back files.
    Keep in mind that plenty of the music is before I had iTunes so they are not purchases through iTunes, I'm sure that will affect this somehow. I don't want to download third-party software to use the phone as an external hard drive, there has to be some way to accomplish this throug iTunes.
    Ideas?

    Saw that post. Those instructions are out of date for the latest release of iTunes on a PC and do not work as written. Plus those instructions do not indicate where the files are placed on the PC once it backs up.Checking all iTunes folders the music was not backed up to any of those folders.
    Other ideas?

  • How to transfer music from iPhone to new iMac

    My wife just got an iMac. She has had an iPhone for about a year or so. She wants to transfer the music from her iPhone to the iMac so she can then do new downloads on the iMac and keep it and the iPhone in sync. Photos transferred without problem. Apple says the music cannot be transferred. Any suggestions?

    The iphone syncs one way for music, it is not a storage device.
    The itunes purchased music can be transferred by File>Transfer purchases in itunes.
    The iphone can sync with one itunes library at a time. You need to transfer you old itunes library - from the old computer, to the new imac, then sync.

    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.

  • How to sync music from iPhone to new MacBook pro

    Hi everyone I just got my first Mac computer so please excuse my ignorance. I have an iPhone that has a ton of music on it most of it from the iTunes Store but some songs are from CD's from people. I am a dance teacher so a good chunk of my music is not bought from iTunes. I need to sync the music from my iPhone to iTunes on my computer. Can someone please give me step by step directions on how to do this so I won't lose all the music that was not from iTunes. I also do not want the sync to erase the music from my iPhone because I need it for the gym. Thanks so much the help is so appreciated!

    Any music you purchased from iTunes can be transferred, the rest will have to be imported to the MBP from the prior source.  Examine this discussion:
