Because there is no way to do so using the iTunes sync process. The iTunes content sync is one-way: Computer to phone. To get non-iTunes purchased content off your phone, requires third-party software, like this:

  • 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.

  • Transferring from iphone to new computer

    I have all my apps and songs library on my work computer and having just had my home computer repaired I want to sync all my iphone contents to this computer. However everytime I go to the itunes it says it will erase contents off my iphone and replace with library which is empty. How can I get it to copy everything from my iphone to this new library. I have authorised this computer.
    Please help. I would like to have this library as a backup to my work one.

    Here is my problem. I was on vacation recently <Africa>, using my aunt's computer when we lost power during a complete i phone reload. i was able to get it to reload all of the data. But now that i am back home, on our computer, every time i try to reload the applications, it says that all previous applications will be erased. See i have over half of the applications cost money, and i do not want to pay more money to get these applications back. Can anyone help me. ??
    I cannot use my Aunt's computer, because she is always out on business trips. Please...!!... CAN ANYONE OUT THERE HELP ME SOLVE THIS problem?

  • Buying a new Mac and try to save all information from iPhone in new iTunes, is it possible? how?

    Buying a new Mac and try to save all information from iPhone in new iTunes, is it possible? how?

    The easiest thing to do is transfer the library from the old computer to the new one.  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) so you get a prompt to choose a library, then select the copied iTunes folder.  If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder 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.)
    If you do not have access to the old library (and you always should in the form of a backup you regularly make of your computer and store on a drive in a safe place) and this phone has been synced with a different library you can backup certain items, then erase the phone and restore those items.  This will not include media not purchased from the iTunes Store.
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 - "Learn how to back up and restore the content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or 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.

    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

  • HT201269 Transferred from iPhone 3GS to 4. Backed up and restored, perfect. New phone is connected to our wireless but is still giving me the "no service" in the upper left corner. Help????

    Transferred from iPhone 3GS to 4. Backed up and restored smoothly. Still getting a "no service" message in the upper left corner of new phone. Help?.....

    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unlock and now updating locks back to the original carrier.
    Where did you get the iPhone?

  • Transfer voice memos from iPhone 5 to mac iTunes without replacing all music on iPhone

    I have some new voice memos on my iPhone 5 as well as selected music from my iTunes.
    I want to transfer the new voice memos to iTunes on my mac but it appears that it will since my itunes library to my phone.
    The iPhone is connected to the mac.  i am in iTunes and I go to the Device listed as iPhone and click on music.
    When I click on the box that says Sync Music, I get a message that says
    Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies etc from this iPhone and sun with intones library...
    I click cancel instead of remove and sync.    In the sync music window in light grey I can see tha Selected playlists, artist and albums and genres is selected and include voice memos is checked.
    On summary I have Manually Manage Music and Videos checked.
    I just got the phone and i see on p 110 of the manual how to move recordings to your computer and it isn't doing what I want.
    I would like to move the voicemails to the computer without syncing the library and I would like to manually move some songs from iphone to iTunes on the mac.
    I also don't know if under Summary if I should check Sync only checked songs and videos
    Mac mini 10.5.8
    itunes 11.1.5
    7.1.1 iphone 5
    Thanks for any help.

    I think you need to find a third-party tool to copy voice memos from iPhone to Mac because iTunes can't do it. And the only option Apple offers is to backup your iPhone, either to iTunes or iCloud. However, by doing this, voice memos are packed into the backup file package. You can't view them until restore your iPhone with the backup file.

  • HT204406 Upgraded my phone to iphone 6 from iphone 4. My iTunes with all my music is on a computer that no longer works and can't access the music. Will iTunes Match allow me to get my music off of my iphone 4 and put it on my iphone 6?

    Upgraded my phone to iphone 6 from iphone 4. My iTunes with all my music is on a computer that no longer works and can't access the music. Will iTunes Match allow me to get my music off of my iphone 4 and put it on my iphone 6? Sorry about copying twice, new to this.

    Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

  • Backing up, transfering ipod music to new MAC itunes !!!

    I think I am missing something. I have reviewed and searched for this answer using many search terms.
    I want to make sure I am on the right track.
    I have an ipod touch with many apps and over 800 songs and many movies.
    I need to transfer contents from ipod to new computer itunes account.
    I am not able to disable account or device on old computer no longer have it.
    IS my first step to back up ipod touch, if so can I do that just by using external hard drive or can it be done with file created in new macbook?
    Then how do I then transfers all this to new itunes account, then to be able to sync and capture everything?
    After that I am not sure what is next step?
    Thank you so much in advance

    If you can still get to your old PC, then just copy your library to the external drive. If you have no access, then you are going to have to either try one of the freeware programs like Pod to PC/Pod to PC or look for a commercial version to transfer your iPod content to your computer.

  • How come calendars and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

    How come calandras and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

    Hi, Did you work out a fix for this?  All my calender dates (past & future) and the last 12 months of new contacts gone!!!!   And yes i too back up regularly. 
    Previously when the great 5 upgrade happened, i did loss everything, and although I was doing backups none of that info was relative in an English way. A whole life of important, unreplaceable information gone!  Never to be found.
    All of my products are apple, but it seems that little people dont matter to them, with no recourse for the damage to my personal or professional life.
    Extremly disappointed again!

  • HT1688 how to transfer music from iphone to new computer

    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 do you transfer contacts  from iphone to new ipad?

    how do you transfer contacts  from iphone to new ipad?

    "Paired"?  I think you are saying you were trying to use Bluetooth to do this transfer.  That will not work.
    Instead, try one of these two methods:
    1.  Use iCloud to contain the contacts.  Then set both the iPad and iPhone up to reference the iCloud contacts.
    2.  Sync the iPhone using iTunes on your computer.  Then sync the iPad using the same iTunes.
    (This may or may not work depending on what you use to house the contacts.)

  • HT202662 how to transfer music from iPhone to new Windows 7 PC?

    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.

  • Why can't I download projects from iPhone to computer through iTunes to clear space on my device?

    Why can't I download projects from iPhone to computer through iTunes to clear space on my device?

    Yeah, I have this problem too.  Since the HD purchase usually includes the SD movie too, I am perfectly content to watch SD on my Windows computer and HD on my AppleTV.
    Only workaround I've found for this is to buy the HD version of the movie on my iPad.  Then, download it to my computer via iTunes or by transferring it from my iPad.  I hear you can buy it on an iPhone too (4 or 4s) and achieve the same result.
    But that's a terrible workaround.  I have a number of other HD movies I've purchased with previous versions of iTunes, so this is absolutely something that Apple has introduced relatively recently.
