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.

    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.

    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.

    If it's iTunes purchases (or if you have iTunes Match) then you might be able to re-download them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. Otherwise you will need to sync your music via your computer's iTunes, you can't connect an iPhone to an iPad for direct transfer

    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.

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. 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 purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How to transfer music from iphone to computer?

    My computer crashed and after repairing all my itunes backup files are gone.There’re almost 500 songs in it…But I still have those music on my iphone, so can I transfer the music back to computer from my iphone?

    Pop into iTunes and choose File –> New Playlist.Now you can just drag and drop music from your iTunes library (in iTunes, needless to say) into this new playlist. When you're ready, you'll see a bunch of music happily ensconced in the playlist.Cool. Now click on the "Music" tab and you'll see that you can select "sync playlist". Do that, then select the new iPhone sync playlist you've created.Set things up just as I have shown and that's all there is to it. Now click "Sync" in iTunes and it'll synchronize your playlist with the iPhone music library and next time you click on that ole' "iPod" button on the iPhone, your selections from you music library will be present.You may also follow this guideHow to Transfer Music from iPhone to Computer
