In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with a single iTunes library only. When you in effect stole this music from your friend's computer, all music that was on your iPhone was erased first.
If any of your friend's music was purchased from the iTunes store, you will need to know your friend's iTunes account and password to authorize your computer with your friend's iTunes account before being able to transfer the music to your iTunes library. iTunes does not support transferring music from an iPhone that was not purchased from the iTunes store.
All iTunes content on your iPhone or that was on your iPhone before it was all erases before syncing your iPhone with your friend's iTunes library should be in your iTunes library on your computer including apps.

    If they were purchased then you simply transfer purchases

    Songs should reside in iTunes, if you have any non-purchased content on the phone you will need a 3rd party program to transfer

  • How to download all songs from my external drive into my itunes library

    I have enough Gbytes to not use an external drive for my music.
    How do I proceed to download all songs from the external drive on my internal drive?

    Hello there, Laetidela.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps on how to move your iTunes library from an external hard drive to your computer:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    External drive
    This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
    Notes before you start:
    You can use most iPods as an external drive.
    Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
    Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
    Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
    Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
    Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
    Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
    Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
    Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
    Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

    how do you transfer from ipod to the itunes library

    You cannot transfer songs from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    NOTE:  For songs from the iTunes Store, you can also use the Purchased screen (in the iTunes Store) to find and re-download previous purchases (at no cost).

  • How do I transfer apps FROM my iPhone 3gs TO my itunes library

    I want to sync the apps from my iphone to my itunes library.
    When I check the 'sync apps' box in the apps tab in itunes I get a warning that all of the apps on my iphone (3GS, just updated to iOS4)- about 50 apps - are going to be replaced by the apps in the library - 2 apps.
    Is there a way for me to transfer the apps from my iphone to the itunes library so when I sync them I wont lose all my apps?

    connect your device and right-click or control-click your iPod in the iTunes Source list, then choose +transfer purchases+ from the shortcut menu that appears.

    Hello audreywisc,
    Songs can be removed from your iPhone by tapping 'Songs,' then swiping the song, then tapping Delete.
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

    You don't. Sync via iTunes to PC/Mac, then to other device.
    Otherwise people could "share" all their purchased music.
