HT1296 transfer entire media library from iphone to mac

Apple doesn't provide information on how to transfer entire media library (music, movies etc...) from Iphone to itunes. 
My macbook hdd failed and now I have all my media on iphone only.  Have been trying to figure out how to copy everything back to Itunes. 
So far I found some apps that cost around $30, but for this one time job that is not a solution.  Free app or a way in itunes is what I'm looking for. 
Thanks for your help in advance!

Solution found! 
There is an app called "Imacsoft iphone to mac transfer"
It tranfers up to 100 songs each time.  Just make sure you don't exceed those 100 songs, because then the app locks to 1 song each transfer. 
Also full version is reasonably priced at around $18

  • How do I transfer my iPhoto library from iPhone to my new computer?

    How do I transfer my iPhoto library from iPhone to my computer?
    My photos that I lost from my computer at the weekend are still on my iphone but I don't want to lose them and would like them back on my computer.
    Help very welcome.

    The photo sync is one way only - computer to iphone.
    Copy them from your backup copy of your computer.
    When pics are synced to iphone they are reduced in size/quality.  You can e-mail them to yourself, but they will never be of the original quality.

  • I am trying to transfer my itunes library from my old Mac to my new Mac; however, all that transfers is the music I downloaded from itunes.  It does not transfer the music I downloaded from my cd's.

    How do I transfer my itunes library from my old Mac to my new Mac?  When I try all that transfers is what I downloaded from Itunes.  It does not transfer the music I downloaded from my cd's/.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168

    2011 Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/  - An article with good background information, particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick  solution above. Unfortunately it uses the single term "transferring library" for two very different moves; relocating just your media (not recommended unless you really need this configuration) and relocating media+database (really your whole "library").  Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.
    If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

    You don't. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone. To import pics/videos in your camera roll, read here:

  • Moving an entire iTunes library from PC to Mac

    My Dell Inspiron is basically shot right now and I have to move my ENTIRE iTunes library (literally everything; music, music videos, podcasts, and apps for iOS devices) from it to my sister's MacBook Pro before the Dell is completely dead. My music is already on an external drive, but I think everything else (music videos, podcasts, and apps) is on the main hard drive, which I am planning to move to the external drive. I don't want to lose the data on my apps (such as game high scores and saved to-do lists). I don't want to have to restore and re-sync my iDevice as it takes a very long time. I also don't want to lose minor song information such as year, composer, genre, track number, and album artwork. Basically, I want my iTunes library on the MacBook Pro to be exactly like the one I had on the Dell.
    How do I go about moving my entire iTunes library with everything intact as smoothly as possible with little or no problems from PC to Mac?

    It's important that you copy the xml file inside the iTunes folder on Windows (Documents / Music) along with all your files. Then you have to transfer the iTunes folder into your Mac (usually is located inside the Music folder) and start iTunes. Inside iTunes pref make sure you select the right folder for your music. Another important thing is to have the same iTunes version on Windows and Mac when doing such operations. I hope that helps, bye

  • How do I transfer my iPhoto library from my old Mac Book to my new Mac Book Pro?

    I took delivery of my new mac Book Pro at the weekend and was unable to transfer all my data from my old machine at the time of set-up. Can someone tell me how I can transfer my iPhoto library to my new machine while keeping all photos in the events categories I have?
    thanks

    Quit iPhoto if open.
    Open your Pictures folder and select the iPhoto Library.
    Copy the iPhoto Library folder or package to your new computer.

  • I need to transfer an iTunes library from Windows to Mac. .with a catch.

    The catch is, I have a Mac formatted iPod, so if I understand correctly, I can't use it as an external drive to take the library from the Windows machine.
    Anyway. . I'm buying my fiancee a MacBook, and obviously she wants her iTunes library from her Windoze machine. Her iPod is a nano, so it's not large enough capacity to transfer her whole library to her new MacBook.
    So. . how do I get her music on her MacBook?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    One way would to be to re-format the ipod for windows, enable disk usage, copy her existing library, then transfer to the mac ( the mac will read a window formatted ipod). Otherwise, if you have the ability I suggest networking the 2 computers, (macs & pc's can be networked together without a lot of trouble) an transfer via ethernet.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from PC to Mac?

    I have been using iTunes for windows and have my library on the PC.
    I have now purchased a Mac and want to transfer my iTunes from the PC to the Mac.
    The Mac and the PC are on the one network (although I intend to remove the PC after I've transferred the files).
    How can I do it - either over the network or by using my IPod?
    Your tips are appreciated!!!

    If your complete library is on the iPod, you can use Senuti or ipodRip to transfer the contents including the playlists to the Mac.
    Hope this helps.

    I want to transfer my all important SMS and Contacts to computer on Mac because the box is full for a few days.So i am looking for the effective program to help me back up my stuffs. Having said that, any suggestions for a good iPhone manager/iPhone transfer software,which is better to be free without payment.
    I'm desperate any help would be appreciated...

    Google "PhoneView" or "iPhone Explorer" but you should be syncing your contacts with your Mac's Address Book anyway via iTunes or MobileMe. That's the way it is designed to be used.
