HT1766 Transferring music from iphone to new pc

I've lost all music on my old pc. I spent hours uploading all my old cds onto itunes. When I try to sync my iphone with the new pc via itunes it wants to replace with what is on new pc which is nothing. How do I transfer music from my iphone to my new pc?

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.

  • Transferring music from iphone to new iphone

    So, say I'm West Coast guy and in the East Coast visiting family. Had a iPhone 5s and just got a new iPhone 6. Figured I could backup my iPhone 5s on brother's iMac and then restore it to the new iPhone 6. Most of it went OK, except I've got some of his apps and a few other things - but I did not get any of my music over to the new iPhone 6. Most all my music was imported into my iTunes from CDs and then onto my iPhone 5s.
    Question: any way to get my music back onto the new iPhone 6, or will I have to resynch when I get home?
    Is there a better/cleaner way to transfer settings/content from one iPhone to another new one, other than backup and restore from iTunes?
    Thanks!

  • 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?

  • Transferring music from iPhone to new iTunes

    The hard drive on my new Mac Book Pro failed and I took it to the Apple Store.  They said it would have to be replaced and suggested I take it to Best Buy first to have it backed up.  I do so and they charged me for a portable HD they said had all my files (including iTunes) on it.  I then took the Mac Book back to the Apple Store where they replaced the hard drive.  When I tried to restore the portable HD Best Buy had done, I discovered that Best Buy had not backed up anything. The HD was blank.  I took it back to Best Buy and they appoligized and said they had made a mistake, but they had not been able to back the old hard drive up.  I called the Apple Store back but they said the old hard drive had already been disposed of.  All my music is on my iPhone.  Is there a way to get it into iTunes on the new hard drive on my Mac Book Pro?  I'm not going to worry about the rest of the files on the old hard drive.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod/iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You may be able to purchase software to retrieve other items.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer before it failed?

    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.

  • Transferring music from iphone to pc

    Purchased/Downloaded music from itunes to iphone - how can I sync / upload music to PC to back up?

    PaulCB
    Saw your post about transferring music from iPhone. I guess I am a total dweeb; I cannot understand Apple's instructions.
    I have two identical PCs. Have same version of iTunes on each. iPhone 3GS with 4.01 OS. I cannot figure out how to transfer the 5400 songs on my iPhone into my iTunes library without erasing the 2500 songs (different titles which came from a Dead Dell) that are already there. Any advice would be super appreciated.

    If music was obtained via third party then you can transfer it anywhere in a supported way by apple

  • 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.

  • Transferring music from Iphone to a new installed Itunes library

    I have recently had my lap top repaired and my Itunes has had to be erased, I have reinstalled Itunes and my Itunis es music library is now empty and I did not make a back up, is there anyway I can transfer all the music from Iphone back in to my music library if  I sync it with Itunes library it is going to wipe all the music on my phone, thanks

    iTunes includes an option to import iTunes content from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store.
    First you need to re-authorize your 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 > Import Purchases From > the name of your iPhone.

  • Transferring music from old to new computer ?

    hey!
    so i tried following the tutorial for transferring music from my old computer to my new computer (both of them PC's) and i got as far as the "copy itunes folder into ipod then connect to new computer"
    now the next step is to take that itunes folder outta my ipod folder and place it into "my music" and then delete the itunes folder from my ipod so i free up my memory again.
    the only problem is i don't know where this "ipod folder" is located so i can't extract the itunes folder and now i have all this memory used up.
    has anyone done this before because the PC version of the tutorial doesn't seem to be working. my question is what should this ipod folder look like and where can i find it?
    THANKS!

    Hi cynthia I know what your going through the same exact thing happened to me (I feel your pain and stress). You can use Windows Explorer to delete the folder it should be obsvisoly labeled I belive as "Itunes" and if you acidentally delete your music its already on your new computer anyway so all you would have to plug it in and it would sync...

  • Transferring music from iPhone to a new computer...

    I spilled coffee on my computer and had to get a new one, but I hadn't backed up my iTunes... Is there any way that I can take my music from my iPhone and put it into iTunes on my new computer???

    iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased from the iTunes Store only.
    Without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    The iPhone is not designed for or intended to be a backup device.

  • Transfering music from iphone 4 to an iphone 5 help

    I recently upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 5. I tried to transfer my music to the new phone from itunes and my music will not transfer. What can i do to fix this issue.

    Hi Lav122,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first thing I would suggest is to transfer your purchases from the iPhone 4 to your computer.
    Your post doesn't indicate what type of computer you have, but here is the basic information:
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Transfer purchases from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to an authorized computer
    Next, I would suggest backing up your iPhone 4 to iCloud or iTunes and restore your new iPhone with that backup.
    The article below will show you how.

    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Transferring Music from Iphone to Computer ??

    HI,
    I HAVE BROUGHT NEW COMPUTER AND WHEN I CONNECT MY IPHONE TO NEW AND TRY TO UPLOAD ADDITIONAL MUSIC IT AS TO TICK MANAGE MY MUSIC MANNUALLY,
    BUT IF I DO THT ALL MY OLD MUSIC COLLECTION ON MY PHONE WILL GET ERASED
    SO HOW TO ADD AND TICK MANAGE MY MUSIC MANUALLY WITHOUT GETTING OLD MUSIC ON MY IPHONE DELETED.

    First, stop typing in all caps.  It is considered SHOUTING and is perceived as rude, which may explain why such a simple question has gone unanswered for as long as it has.
    You cannot use an iPhone to transfer music to another computer.  You have to add the music collection to the new computer the same way you did to the old computer.  Any iTunes purchases are still available via your Apple ID.  But any music added from other sources (such as CDs) have to be transferred to the new computer using another method, not the iPhone.
