HT1473 Loading old Cd music from phone to my computer

My computer crashed and took all my old cd music with it. It is still on my phone in my itunes because I converted it. I want it back on my computer but I cannot figure it out. Please help. I want to load it onto a thumb so I cant loose it if i crash again.

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.  The sync is one way - computer to ipad.  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.
Have you failed to do this?

  • UP-LOADING PHOTOS & RIPPED MUSIC FROM IPHONE BACK TO COMPUTER

    My computer crashed and I lost everything, but thankfully my iPhone has all the photo's and music albums stored on file. The problem is, I can't find a way of re-installing that data back onto my computer! I have managed to re-install music I purchased on the Apple site, but there is no facility available that I can locate that allows my photo's and ripped albums to be re-installed back onto the computer.
    Please help!

    That's because Apple makes no provision to do what you want. It's expected that you maintain a backup of your music, photos, and other data. The iphone is not a backup device. You can recover this data, but you will have to use third party software to do so. Bear in mind, photos synced to your phone were reduced in resolution for display on the iphones screen. There is no way to recover their original resolution if you did not make a backup of your computers data.

    There is no option avalable in order to redown load these songs again.

    Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you are in, whether you've changed countries since buying it, and whethet it's still in your country. What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage :
    If not all of your music shows there then check to see if any is hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

  • How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info

    How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info...

    If your device is signed into an old ID of yours that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
    If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

    Penny wise and pound foolish.
    boggles my mind that I can't simply transfer MY files from MY phone and MY PC. /END RANT
    Boggles my mind that people don't have a backup and then on top of that, they place blame everywhere but themselves when it comes back to bite them.
    $25 so I can have access to MY files is just stupid.
    If I have data on two sources (phone and PC), why should I need a 3rd source for backup? There is NO reason why my phone can't act as a backup for PC and vice versa. The old iPods could do this. My old Android phone could do this!
    I backup all my important work and personal files, but having 12 gigs of music saved on 3 different sources (plus the CD originals) is just unnecessary.
    Please don't make excuses for Apple not supporting this.
    But how about going back to solving the problem... is there freeware available or a workaround so that I and the original poster can copy music from phone to PC???
    Thanks to those who are trying to help.
