HT1296 music from my iPhone to my iTunes library. HELP!

I am trying to transfer my music from my iPhone 5 to my iTunes library. When i try and Sync them it only wants to do the opposite (add library songs to iPhone). Does anyone know how to do this or knows where i could get some help?

Actually, you can transfer purchased iTunes content to your computer: your phone connected, iTunes running, without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases or right-click the phone in the left device pane & select transfer purchases. Non-purchased iTunes content you cannot transfer without using third-party software.

  • I got a new computer and some of my music apparently wasn't backed up to the external hard drive.  I have some of the music that didn't save on an iphone. How do I move the music from the iPhone into my iTunes library on the computer?

    I got a new computer and somehow have lost some of my more recently purchased and or imported music.  I have some of that music on an iphone and some on an ipad.  How do I get the music from those devices into my itunes library without losing everything else?

    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. 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.

    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):

  • HT1451 How do I download my music from my iphone to another itunes library account on my computer?

    Hi, Can anyone help, the music on my iphone was loaded from a itunes library that I no longer have access to.  Does anyone know how to download the music from my iphone to a new itunes library account on my computer?

    yeah... that's just bad advice because it simply doesn't work that way.
    iPhones like all iDevices are designed to sync to one and only one computer.
    Please refrain from giving incorrect advice.
    To the OP, a simple search of the forums or a little reading in the User's Guide would have provided the correct steps on how to get the music purchased via iTunes onto another computer without deleting it off the device.  FYI, it has nothing to do with the device or connecting it to another computer.  Simply copy the files from the original computer to the new computer, or redownload them on the new computer.

  • How can i transfer music from my iphone 4 to itunes library?

    A while ago, my computer crashed and wiped out everything. I had to install Itunes. I've had my iPhone 4 for a year, and have many pictures and music on it.
    I still haven't updated my phone to version 5.1, and i would like to.. but my computer is saying that i should transfer all my apps, music, etc, so i don't lose it, but i do not know how to do that. HELP!

    See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  You will read in this article that music on your phone not purchased from iTunes cannot be synced to your iTunes library.  To transfer this music you will have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy (or re-rip you CDs with iTunes to import them).

    Plug it in to the computer, select your iPhone under DEVICES, click Sync.
    OR
    If you have iCloud enabled on your iOS 5.0.1 iPhone and iCloud compatible Mac (you didn't say whether you had a Mac or PC), it should be there already.
    OR
    Go to Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync and initiate a sync.
