How to import ONE song (non-copyright protected) from iPhone to iTunes

I'm a musician and I want to import individual (original) songs from my iPhone into my MacBookPro iTunes, but via a rather convoluted path...
I record my own material into a MacPro in my studio, upload to a shared website to share file with the rest of the band, then download the file to my home iMac/iTunes. From iMac I sync to my iPhone. Now I want to import/transfer the song(s) from iPhone into my MacBookPro. All songs are NOT protected (my own material), all computers are authorized with iTunes. I can't figure out how to transfer individual titles from my iPhone to my MacBookPro. I must be missing something very simple here...?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Ian

The music sync is ONE WAY - computer to iphone. The ONLY exception is itunes purchases.
You would have to use a third party program, not supported by Apple, if you wanted to do this.

How to put one song on ipod touch from mac without syncing all files

I have been trying since I got my ipod touch in 2012 to put just one or two songs onto my ipod without syncing all the music on my mac coumputer. Every time I plug my ipod into my computer, and try to put one song to my ipod, it syncs every music file that is on my computer to my ipod. Please help.Thanks!!!

Well, you could turn on the sidebar... but rather, just connect your iPod and click on it. You'll be taken to the iPod screen, with "Summary", "Apps", "Music", etc. along the top. On the Summary page somewhere, you should find a checkbox that says "Manually Manage Music and Video".
(Pretty much) all the features from iTunes 10 are still present in iTunes 11. All iTunes 11 got was a new interface.

Can only import one song at a time from a CD, then get conversion error.

I have been using iTunes for several years to import tracks from CDs. Until now I have not really experienced any problems - though I have not had need to do so for some time. I have just tried importing a few new CDs and am experiencing the following problem.
a) First track is imported OK.
b) iTunes gets about half way through the second track and then errors with this message:
"Error occurred while converting file "<track_name>". An unknown error occurred (-1303)."
...followed by:
"The iTunes Library File cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (13010)."
Note:
1. The first track is saved in the media folder OK.
2. The library file (iTunes Library.xml) is being still being updated with the new track each time.
3. I can resume importing the CD with the track that has just failed and it will import OK, but the next track will fail as above.
4. The same issue occurs regardless of the the format to which I am converting (I've tried both mp3 and AAC so far).
I am using the latest available version of iTunes for Windows (11.1.3.8).
I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
I have checked the web for similar instancves of this problem but without success.
Any ideas??

i also have the same problem.. it's so annoying!
i haven't yet found out why this is happening.. but i have found a way to start adding lots of songs at one time..
in my case, i am adding from my music folders in my C drive.. so i open the folder using 'my computer' and select all the music i want by holding the Ctrl key.. then i make the music folder window smaller and then put my itunes page back up.
while the music folder window is showing on top of the itunes window page, i press control again and click on one of the highlighted songs (which then picks up all the others i have highlighted) and drag them on top of the word LIBRARY (not MUSIC) until it lights up, this then adds my big group of songs to my library in itunes, then i just right click on my ipod section and press sync.
i have a new ipod 30gb and am using the new itunes 7
i never had this problem with my old ipod mini or the itunes version that came with that
hope this helps

Transferring non-purchased music from iphone to itunes

I've got an iphone with a lot of music I originally transferred from my CDs onto itunes then onto my iphone. My laptop with all my itunes and music on was reently stolen and I don't want to go through the pain of reloading all my CDs. I have managed to transfer purchases from my old account (which I shut down as a result of the theft), but cannot work out how to transfer the CD music from the iphone to the new computer and itunes. It keeps telling me I'm going to wipe the iphone. Any help?

You'll have to use third party software, as Apple makes no provision to do so:

Tip: How to play a playlist one song at a time from iTunes on a computer using the checkbox property

I would like to share a tip about how to play a playlist one song at a time from iTunes on a computer. The tip I am sharing is simple, but I was not able to find it in the iTunes Help. After searching on the internet I found the idea for this solution in a discussion in which this was presented as a frustrating problem rather than a desired behavior. This tip relies on the checkbox for each song in iTunes. For a song in a playlist to play automatically, the checkbox must be checked. To keep a song from playing in a playlist, simply uncheck it. Therefore, to keep all songs from playing automatically in a playlist, simply uncheck them all. Now you have a list of desired songs in a desired order but none of them will play automatically. You can play each one when you want to play it without having to search for the next song and without having to be at the computer to stop the playing after each song.
Step by step:
1. Create the playlist.
2. Uncheck all of the check boxes in the playlist (In iTunes for Windows, ctrl click one of the check marks to uncheck all of the checkboxes at once)
3. Now double click (or select and press spacebar) a song to play it. It will stop when finished because there is no other song checked to be played next.
4. If you want to change back to normal sequential play, ctrl click one of the check marks again to change all of the checkboxes back to the checked status.
Based on some discussions I found while looking for a solution (including at least one in which the questioner got bashed about why anybody would ever want to do such a thing and in which the proposed solutions were things like creating one song playlists or simply press stop after each song), some may not understand why this would ever be desired. Here's why I wanted to do it:
I was responsible for playing a series of songs at a dance. I needed to stop after each song to have a transition time to allow me to introduce the next song and to give new dancers time to get onto the floor and other dancers an opportunity to leave the floor. Furthermore, I was also dancing and didn't want to have to spend time searching for the next song (which is why I wanted to create a playlist in advance with just the songs I wanted to play in the order I wanted to play them) and I wanted each song to stop after playing since I was not at the computer to press stop.
I hope this will help others who have a similar need.

Thank you! I put some self help hypnosis tracks to listen to on my iPod. I did not want to go to the next track automatically, I wanted to listen to them individually, one at a time. (If I fell asleep, I did not want to 'wake up' in the middle of a different track.) Your information helps me understand that I need to re-load this playlist onto my iPod from my Mac computer, only first, I need to UNCHECK the boxes in front of each track so the iPod will STOP each time after playing the selected track. It is too bad that so many functions are not availabvle within the iPod, but that is probably why they can make it so compact.

I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?
I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
thanks!

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings
