HT1329 Can I transfer music off my iPhone onto my computer?

My hard drive on my computer died and I lost all of my music. However I have it all on my iPhone. Alot of the music was on cds which I have since disposed of and from what I'm hearing on iTunes I can only transfer iTunes purchases back to my computer. Is there any way to get all the music from my phone back onto my computer?
Thanks for the help

How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?

I have tried to do this through home sharing but as I don't have the old laptop it wont let me.
Any HELP please?!?
Would be much appreciated.

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?

Click on transfer purchases only works for purchased apps and music, but NOT the music rip from CDs or other sources.
For transferring music other than those purchased from iTunes, refer to the following:

How can i get music off my iphone onto my new computer without the music on both having songs deleted?

I have a new computer and have put some music on it before I hooked up my iPhone. So now I have some music on my iPhone that I don't have on my computer and I don't want to 'sync' and lose some of the music on my iPhone. So I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with getting the music off my iPhone and adding it to my new iTunes??

The syncing of music is not a true sync process - not really a sync at all. It is a transfer process. No iTunes content in your iTunes library will ever be touched or removed by syncing an iDevice.
Where is your old computer - the one with your iTunes library that was used to sync with your iPhone? Why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.?
If your old computer is still available, transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link. This will prevent any iTunes content from being removed from your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer.

Depending on the computer OS platform that you use, you connect the iPhone to the computer and import the photos using whatever import utility on your computer that you would use to get pictures off a digital camera. See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

How can I transfer music from my iPhone to my computer using itunes without syncing?

Got a bit of a dilemma here... I had all my music backed up on my laptop and I usually transferred files using iTunes from there but it got a virus so I had wipe the whole thing out. I lost everything I had there but I had iTunes on my computer, I just didn't have all the files that were on my iPhone on that computer, only on my laptop. Now I want to add music onto my iPhone from my computer but I'll have to sync it, which means loosing half of my music. Is there anyway I can transfer music onto the device without loosing half of the data or is there any way I can transfer the music from iTunes to my computer so that when I sync it, all the music stays there? And if I need a third party transfer tool, which one is the most reliable to avoid viruses again?

Hello ZabeM
Anything that was purchased can be transferred to your new iTunes library by following the steps in the article below. You can also look at your purchased history and download the tracks to your computer.

How can I transfer music from my iTunes on my computer to my iPhone?

Thanks for the info. For some reason none of the syncing options are working for me. Additionally, I'm unable to drag and drop music to the iphone via iTunes.
It seems that ever since I turned off iTunes Match, my music library has been wonky.
Frustrating.

If this is music purchased through the iTunes Music Store, you would need to transfer the music to your computer using iTunes then transfer to the non-apple device according to the manufacturer's instructions.

I want to know How can I transfer music from my iphone 5 to another iphone 5

Purchased iTunes content can be re-downloaded for free, directly to the device, as long as you use the samme Apple ID that was used to originally purchase the content. Either that, or you sync it to the phone using iTunes. You can also use iTunes Match.

Why I can't transfer music to my iphone 4S? I know I have to use Itunes, I could do it before but now nothing happens.. Please help

Ever since I installed an application (a Ringtone maker) downloaded from App Store now I can't transfer music to my iphone 4S?
I know I have to use Itunes, I could do it before but now nothing happens. Although I followed the instructions given in the Help Video for that application nothing happened, no ringtones were loaded, and all my music disappeared.
Please help!!!

Hi Ivan,
Connect your iPhone to your computer. In iTunes, select your iPhone in the left bar. In the middle screen, go to the tab 'Music' and see if the Sync music box is checked.
If it is checked, you can select the music you want on your iPhone in the screen below.
If it is not checked, you can drag and drop music from your library to your iPhone.
Do the same in the tab 'Ringtones' (not sure if there is such a tab).
Let us know if this solved your issue.
