HT1373 how to synch music from iphone to new computer

I just bought a new computer and want to synch all the information from my iPhone to the new computer.  I have authorized the computer but when I try to synch, it erases all my music.

That is correct.  The iphone is not a backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content.
You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

    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.

  • How to sync music from iPhone onto new computer

    I had my iPhone synced to my old computer. I connected it to my new computer and it won't allow me to put any of my old music onto iTunes without deleting it all first. How can I keep my old music and put it onto my new iTunes?

    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 independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media 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.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    How to transfer music from iPhone to new Windows 7 PC?

    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.

  • How to sync music from iPhone to new MacBook pro

    Hi everyone I just got my first Mac computer so please excuse my ignorance. I have an iPhone that has a ton of music on it most of it from the iTunes Store but some songs are from CD's from people. I am a dance teacher so a good chunk of my music is not bought from iTunes. I need to sync the music from my iPhone to iTunes on my computer. Can someone please give me step by step directions on how to do this so I won't lose all the music that was not from iTunes. I also do not want the sync to erase the music from my iPhone because I need it for the gym. Thanks so much the help is so appreciated!

    Any music you purchased from iTunes can be transferred, the rest will have to be imported to the MBP from the prior source.  Examine this discussion:

  • 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.

  • Transferring Music from iPhone to new computer

    Hello,
    The computer I normally sync with iTunes has crashed suddenly with an I/O error on the hard disk.  This has left the computer completely useless and now I am trying to manage the music on my iPhone with my work laptop, (Windows PC) but I am only able to transfer my purcahsed songs from iTunes off my phone to the work laptop music library, and I can't sync without losing all my other content on the iPhone that is in my original library on the crashed laptop.
    With my original computer out of commission there must be some way of creating a new library on my second computer and managing my music from the iPhone.  My only copy of the music files is on the iPhone.  How do I move these to the new laptop?

    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That might switch the assocation of the device to the new machine but I couldn't say for sure.

  • Music from Iphone to New Computer

    My computer crashed and since then I have bought a new computer, how do I get all of my music from my iphone to my new computer? I have window XP base program

    Technically, you cannot go from iPhone to computer (except songs bought via the iPhone in the WiFi iTunes). Just computer to iPhone, else one could go over to any friends house and transfer off music.
    Unless you can get access to your old computers harddrive and hook it into your new PC and see if can get the files, or of course if you made backups, you really don't have much luck.
    You may ask over in the iTunes forum if Apple has a way to identify songs you have purchased and redownload them but I am very unclear about that.

  • Transfer music from iphone to new computer

    purchased a new laptop and I want to tranfer my music from the iphone to the new laptop witha  blank itunes.  I've tried a syncing the phone and it warns me the iphone data will be erased.  Not cool.  Any suggestions?  The old computer is dead and I can't access the data.

    This cannot be done (by design) without third party software, which may or may not be a violation of the iTunes license agreement. Try googling "Senuti".

  • HT1386 new computer, how do I transfer from Iphone to new computer itunes library?

    I purchased a new computer.  Thought I backed up to Itunes before but nothing shows in music library once I log in.  How do I preserve whats on phone to itunes on new computer?

    iTunes will only transfer music purchased from iTunes from the phone to your iTunes library.  Music from other sources can only be transferred from your phone to your iTunes library using 3rd pary software such as Touch Copy.  Your only other options would be to re-import this music from other sources (such as CDs) or to copy the entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one, using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

  • How to get music from ipod onto new computer?

    my old computer crashed and i got a new computer and now i don't know how to get my songs from my ipod onto my new computer. having alot of problems please help!

    All of your media that you bought from iTunes you can restore by plugging in the iPod and then right clicking on the iPod icon in the iTunes side bar and select "Transfer Purchases from (name of your iPod)"
    For songs/movies you ripped yourself:
    If you are on a Mac, look up DeTune... Or Senuti...
    there are other compatible things for other OSes but you will have to search for them

  • Transfer old and new music from iphone to new computer account?

    So my account on my family Mac desktop was malfuntioning -- meaning the apps open would not close, and the loading screen and rainbow cursor would not go away (its been days) therefore i decided to delete my account and create a new one.
    My account had everything of mine personal on it and noone elses. I thought that since all of my music was on my phone, i could just transfer all the music back to the computer, once i set up the new account that has nothing on it.
    Its not working.
    All the music I have is on my phone and only my phone. It is a mix between computer purchases, phone purchases, and CD's. All on various accounts from the past 7 years ever since i got my first ipod shuffle.
    Im really really hoping i can transfer everything back to my computer, because so far its only transferred the songs ive purchased on my phone, nothing else.
    And it hasnt asked me for verification or authorization for other accounts or anything.
    Help? Im desperate.

    Most Windows users don't.
    Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
    Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.
