I can't put music from my iphone into itunes

After having to restore my library there are songs that are on my iphone that aren't on the library, and whenever I plug my iphone into itunes it wants to do a restore which would make me lose all the music and my data. Is there a way I can get the music onto my computer and into itunes without having to restore the iphone? Is it a problem with the phone?

Not necessrily, you just need to find a 3rd party program to transfer content that is ripped or purchased outside of iTunes.

  • I can't import music from my computer into Itunes

    I've been trying to import music from my computer into Itunes, And it isnt working
    I have the latest version of Itunes
    When I try adding the files by clicking add file in Itunes or by dragging, it does nothing
    I know it means that the file is incompatible with Itunes, But I have put the same type of file into Itunes before with no issues (MP3)

    Hey Haley.1182,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble importing music into iTunes. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article should help get the music imported. The second article shows what formats are compatible with iTunes.

  • Can you transfer music from an iPhone to iTunes?

    i was just wondering if there is a way to get my music from my iPhone onto my iTunes on my Mac. my dell had a bad virus, so i gave it to a relative of mine to reinstall everything, and i told him to backup my itunes(which he forgot to do). so now i have a blank dell, a new mac, and all my music on my iPhone. Again, any way to transfer em? Thanks!
    P.S. they all aren't purchased songs, they are mostly from CDs that i lent my friends(most of which they lost) and those that i did buy were transfered from my account.

    iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) 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.

  • Old iTunes deleted, new iTunes doesn't have all of my music, can I copy music from my iPhone to iTunes without syncing

    Help, computer returned from being fixed, everything has been deleted. Can you import music from iPhone 4 into new iTunes (old iTunes deleted) without syncing phone.

    My computer HDD did not crash only my external drive with the music files.  I have not had to reinstall iTunes software.  The iTunes libarary is still complete and shows the complete list of music.  I have also ran Update iTunes Match and all of the music is on the cloud.
    I cannot play the music from iTunes that is on the cloud, however the music I purchased from iTunes did download and it will plan from my computer.
    The matched or uploaded music is what will not download and I can't find a command that allows me to download from Match.
    Sorry if I'm not being very clear, however I do really appreciate your help and suggestions.

  • Can't play music from my iphone on itunes?

    I don't understand this problem. I haven't done it in about a year, but I used to be able to play my iphone library of songs on my laptop through itunes.
    Now all my music is grayed out. I checked to see if its authorized, and it is. That is fine.
    The mp3's are not bought through itunes, if that makes any difference? (CD's, old collections, etc...)
    I can play it fine from my iphone.
    THanks for any suggestions. I tried reinstalling as well, no dif.

    I have been having the same problem... And basically what I was finally told by the folks at the apple store, is that there is no way to do this without syncing, and I don't want to sync. I want my music to be mobile, I don't want to have to copy it to every computer I want to listen to it on. I want to listen to it from the device, and be able to buy a new album at work or at home. This is a major disappointment for me, as every other device I have owned including my iPod Touch had this capability. I could authorize 5 machines and manually sync, and the music on that device could be played and managed on those authorized machines. For example, my wife has her own music collection, and I have mine, but we have a media center connected to our flat-screen in the living room, that we use for playing music when we are entertaining guests, and with our old iPods and iPod Touch devices, we could unplug one of our devices and plug the other persons in and listen to music from both our libraries without copying the music to that computer. Now with our iPhones there is no way to keep our seperate librarys and be able to play music on multiple computers in our house and at work, which we have always been able to do until our iPhones. The whole point of the iPhone for me was to be able to combine two devices and now because of the lack of this feature I still have to keep all our iPods around too... Dumb. I almost took our phones back because of this, and if apple doesn't fix it, I probably won't buy another. They should have at least mentioned this little fact before selling the devices to us. I know it's a different device, but it's similar enough that you expect it to work the same as the iPod and iPod Touch. It's not like I am wanting to be able to copy music from the device to multiple machines, it's exactly the opposite... I just want to be able to copy music to the device and listen to it at home and at work... why all apples other devices do this, and the iPhone doesn't is completely perplexing to me, and a serious oversight on there part.

  • 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.

  • Can't put music on my Iphone after iTunes update and reinstalling my Windows 7 Ultimate

    If anyone can help with a suggestion what to do:
    - i reinstalled my PC to Windows 7 Ultimate and installed latest iTunes version.
    now I cannot drag and drop any music to my Iphone 4s in iTunes or make playlists to do the same.
    Does anyone have the same problem?

    " it says that I can only be synced with one computer."
    "It" is exactly correct. 
    " It says that I have to erase everything and sync with iTunes."
    Again, "it" is correct.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.
    The itunes content and picture sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    If you sync contacts to a blank computer, then they will be erased as well.

  • Putting music from Media Player into iTunes???

    So....I just recently bought my Nano. I have lots of songs on my computer (that I put on there from my CDs) in Windows Media Player 10. When I connected to iTunes (to put music on my iPod) some of my previous songs from Media Player were put into iTunes, yet there are still LOTS of songs not in the iTunes Library. And I don't think that they didn't transfer because they are "protected", it has to be something else. I've tried dragging, copying, nothing is 'allowed'. I've gone to about every window, menu, and help/support site in both iTunes and Windows Media Player. This is almost a last resort.
    Thank you SO much if you have ANY information at all!!!

    I'm having the same problem, can someone help us?????

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

    Does your husband have his own computer/iTunes account? If so, the easiest way is to turn on Home Sharing, transfer whatever you want from your library to his library & then sync it to his phone on his computer:

    How can I transfer music from my iphone to other non apple devices ?

    If this is music purchased through the iTunes Music Store, you would need to transfer the music to your computer using iTunes then transfer to the non-apple device according to the manufacturer's instructions.
