HT1766 How do I get my music from my iphone to itunes after computer crash and lost previous itunes library?

My computer crashed and I lost iTunes library and all playlists from computer.  Now I have a lot of music that I want to save to iTunes and cannot.  Additionally, I cannot add new songs without erasing the entire library from my phone.  HELP!!!

Restore the iTunes library from the backups you were keeping regularly of your computer.

  • How do I get the music from my iphone to my new computer?

    We just got a new computer and not all of my songs were from itunes. Is there any way of getting them from my iphone to my computer?

    Open iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect your iPhone.
    If at any point you get a message that your phone is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your phone.
    iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod or iPhone to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

  • HT1349 i have a new pc and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all data to sync.  How can i get my music from the ipod to the new computer?

    I have a new pc windows 7 and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all the data to sync.  How do i get the music from my ipod to my new computer.  The old computer is trashed and files are not available, songs are only on ipod.

    One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup is a good idea. Use this link for future reference in this regard.

    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

    Hello JLGBone,
    It sounds like you are needing to transfer your music from your iPod classic to your computer. The following article will help you transfer your iTunes Store purchases:

  • How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old computer?

    How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old Hewitt packard computer?
    Thought by connecting my phone to computer it would automatically duplicate. Only seems to work with a small amount of music which I downloaded through my mac
    Im no expert with computers so need some step by step advice
    I have over 1000 songs on my iphone and want to back it up on my mac itunes
    Want to upgrade my iphone and dont want to loose my music and ideally want to import it onto my new iphone
    Need help?

    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 properly 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. 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

    my computer crashed and lost my itunes, now i have a new computer...is there any way to get my music back from my account

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can redownload some purchases in some countries.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    When I downloaded the upgraded itunes I lost all of my downloaded music from itunes but it is still on my iphone.   How do I get my music from my iphone3 back to itunes without loosing it as I now have a new iphone5 and i would like the music put on that phone?

    The iphone is not a backup device.  The sync is one way -computer iphone.
    The exception is itunes purchases.
    You can transfer itunes purchases to your computer by opening itunes,connecting iphone clicking File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do i get my music from the iphone to itunes?

      my desk top recently bit the dust on me so I got myself a lap top. I have itunes installed but how do I transfer my music from the iphone 3gs to the itunes?

    Purchased from iTunes or acquired from somewhere else.
    For purchases make sure you authorize your computer in iTunes and go to File > Transfer Purchases.
    For other songs you will need 3rd party software. Which one depends on what type of computer you have.
    Easiest way to put your music is to use your backup from your old computer and restore it on the new one.

  • How do I get my music from my iphone into itunes library

    I have tried everything I can see to get my music from my iphone to my itunes library?
    I've just got a new iphone 4 and want all my music put onto my new phone but again I don't know what else to do.

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Everything should be on your computer, just sync it to the new iphone.

  • How do I get my music on my iPhone to play all my songs and not just repeat one song?

    How do I get the music on my iPhone 4S to play all of my songs instead of just repeating 1 song?

    You have Repeat turned on.  While playing music, tap the screen so that you see the scrubber bar showing the time.  See that icon on the left side?  That's Repeat.  Tap it until it is white to turn it OFF.

  • How do i get my music from my iphone, onto itunes? Plz help

    Hi, I have had my Iphone for two years now, but only got my macbook some months ago. Before i got my computer, i bought my music over the app itunes on my Iphone. My phone is broken so I'm sending it to reparation very soon, and they say i should have a backup for everything. I do have a backup for everything, except for my music. I have tried several tired synchronizing my phone on my mac (the automatic way), but it still wont come on my itunes. So, the music is on my phone, but not on my macbook. I almost clicked "Sync music" on itunes (macbook), but it would delete every bit of music or tunes i had. So of course, i did not do that.
    So my quiestion is: How do i get my music onto my computer, so i can get a backup??? Plz answer asap, because I have to send my phone soon.
    Thanks

    Hello JWILDT,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Since you have purchased the content from iTunes on your iPhone, simply transfer purchases from your iPhone in to iTunes.
