How to transfer music from computer to iphone without deleting existing iphone purchases

I am putting CDs into iTunes on a home computer (PC) and I want to put that music onto my iPhone.
But the only option seems to involve deleting all my iPhone music, which includes purchases that I have recently made which I cannot synch to my computer.

Syncing music does at least two things.
1.  It can add to the device any music that is resident on the computer that is used for the sync
2.  it can add any music from the mobile device to the computer if both are logged in (and authorized) to the same account that purchased the music.
By the description in your post, I suspect that some music is on the device that was purchased with different Apple ID than the computer is authorized to.

  • How to transfer pics from PC to Ipad2 without deleting existing folders?

    Whenever I try to transfer pics from pc to Ipad2, existing folders are deleted (which mens I only have one folder, cuz everytime I try to transfer a new folder with pics, the previous is deleted)?
    I also tryed to trasfer all my folders with pics at one time, which was very simple, BUT then all the pics are totally mixed up and not in the correct folders
    I have google'ed this issue, and I can see other are having the same, but I can't find any solution any where.
    Pls help :-)
    Thanks

    Create a parent folder on your computer that will contain the named folders of photos you want transferred to your iPad. Select this parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes. To add a new folder of photos to your iPad, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync. To remove a folder of photos from your iPad, move the folder out of the parent folder followed by a sync. The same applies to individual photos. You can remove individual photos from an existing folder in the parent folder on your computer followed by a sync to remove the photos from your iPad, or add individual photos to existing folders of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync to add the photos to your iPad.

  • How to transfer music from one account to another through an iphone?

    Recently, I was able to get a brand new laptop. I was excited to finally be able to purchase my own music from my own iTunes account, but over the past few years, I'd been buying songs off of my family's shared iTunes account. How can I transfer the songs I purchased from there onto my new iTunes library with my individual account?

    I'm afraid you cannot transfer purchased items from one account to another: this is a limitation imposed by the copyright owners. However recent purchases from the iTunes Store are not DRM-protected so you may be able to play them anyway if you manually copy them across. You will need to drag the out of the original iTunes to a folder on the desktop, and then transfer that to your new Mac and drag them into iTunes there. Try it with a few there and see if it works.
    Should you have any movies, though, these cannot  be transferred.

    how to transfer music from iphone to new computer

    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.

    You don't.  The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  the only exception is itunes purchases.
    The iphone is not a backup device.

    I need help on how to transfer music from my old iPhone 3GS to my new iPhone 4s.  Thanks

    Apple's method is you sync the new phone to the same iTunes library you used with the old phone. You do not do a phone-to-phone transfer nor do you transfer items (except iTunes Store purchases ) from a phone to a computer.  Your computer's iTunes is the master and up-to-date repository of your media.
