HT4527 I want to transfer the music on my iPhone to my iTunes on my work computer (which already has an existing library). How do I do this?
I want to transfer the music on my iPhone to my iTunes library on my work computer (which already has an exisitng iTunes library) but I don't know how to do this. I usually just listen to my iPhone plugged in via USB on my work computer but I'm concerned that I'm damaging the battery by having it plugged in for 8 hours a day.
1. How do I add my iPhone library to the existing one?
2. Am I damaging my battery by leaving it connected to the computer all day?
sync them both to the same computer and you should be able to have the music on your iphone through your itunes library.

I have a MacBook Pro and have recently bought a Western Digital external hard drive. I used it on my windows laptop first and unfortunately now on the Mac it is read only. How can I set it so that I can use it successfully between the both the Mac and windows laptop?

You will need to pull all the information off first. The formatting will erase it all.
Use Disk Utility (in Applications >> Utilities or use Spotlight to find it). On the left select your WD drive and then select the Erase tab. Where it says Format, select exFat in the drop-down menu. Next, click Erase and done. It will take approx. 5-15mins to re-format.
Cons: You will be unable to store files 4GB or larger in this format (usually only dmg/iso files or large Outlook files). Also, you will be unable to use Time Machine or other auto-backup programs.
That is not entirely correct, there is no 4G limit using exFat, FAT32 is the one with the limit. -

Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.
When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

my iPod was originally connect to an old HP. The HP has since died and now I own a Macbook pro. I want to transfer the music from my iPod (originally synced with the HP) to my Macbook Pro. Is this possible without losing the music on my iPod?
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

i was given an ipod by a friend due to them buying a newer ipod. I want to transfer the music that is currently on the ipod to my itunes without having to sync my ipod and delete the music. Any suggestions?
Without even knowing if Apple's DRM would permit this, if you are in the U.S. then that's copyright infringement.

I want to replace the music on my iphone 5s with a new itunes library
i couldn't find any answers on the forum, i'm hoping someone can help me... basically, i got a new laptop and instead of wanting to transfer my other itunes library from my old laptop, i decided to start fresh... i spent ages sorting all my new music out and itunes doesn' sync... i want to delete the music from my iphone and replace it with my new itunes library, i've tried pretty much everything, when i plug my iphone in and click sync, it skips through the 4 or 5 stages, the music never updates on my iphone. i'm really confused, i didn't want to click restore just incase i lost absolutely everything, PLEASE HELP
p.s. i already managed the accounts on itunes store and selected this computer, and my iphone, deleting my other laptop (so only this itunes library is active if that makes sense)See Here...

I bought a new mac and my music in itunes didn't transfer over from my old cpu. Most of it was put on with cd's I have. Can I transfer the music from my I-phone to itunes on my mac?
It sounds like there's something amiss with either your ID or the new system you're using. I've been using iTM on a Win7 and OSX SL system and have been able to upload and download to the Cloud on both. I've been using them interchangeably for the last week or so.
I would also recommennd giving Apple support a call, to see what they say. -

I have tried repeatedly and the File>Transfer Purchases is not working. I synced as well. Even though I see the music on my iPhone that I downloaded, it doesn't even show up in "Purchased on MY iPhone". What can I do?

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.
