I have music on my iPhone that is not on my Mac iTunes.  How do I transfer from the iPhone to the Mac?

I had an incomplete backup of my music on an external hard drive.  I had to have my hard drive replaced.  I now have music on my iPhone that is not on my MacBook Pro.  It is music that was not purchased from the iTunes store, but it was uploaded from a CD (which I no longer have).  How can I transfer music from my iPhone to my MacBook?

  • I have music on my phone that will not show in my iTunes library, so I cannot play those songs from my computer.

    I am having a list of problems with my phone. First, my music keeps starting and stopping and I can't get a song to play through.  I went to the apple store and they told me I have some kind of damage so my dock connector thinks it's connected or something. In any case, I have a lot of trouble playing music through my iHome since it is connected by bluetooth and my phone no longer likes to play music. So I've resorted to playing music off my computer through my iTunes library until my phone upgrade is available. Today, I ran into the issue where I noticed I was missing songs from my iTunes library. I checked on my phone and they were on there, so I'm confused why they are not in my library. Shouldn't they be synced?? I'm absolutely perplexed, and I just keep running into problem after problem. Can anyone help as I can't get phone support without giving Apple more money?? Thanks!

    You probably purchased those songs on your iPhone and never transferred them to your computer. You can do so by following these instructions:

  • I have a book on my iphone that is no longer on my computer, how can i delete off my iphone

    I have music on my iphone5 that I want to delete and cannot because the file is no longer on my computer (PC), is there anything I can do about this?  It will not play on the iphone, but does show up.

    Your post title talks about a book, but the body talks about music.  I will assume you're asking about music.
    Open the music app on your iPhone.  Switch to the "Songs" view (on the bottom).  Find the song, and swipe it from left to right.  Then click "delete".

  • My Iphone 3gS is not being recognized in Itunes on my laptop. It is charging so the USB port is working properly. My wifes Iphone IS being recognized by the same laptop. My Iphone IS being recognized by the desktop computer and another laptop

    My Iphone is not being recognized in Itunes on my laptop. It is charging, so the USB port is working. My Iphone does work on another Laptop in the house and My wifes Iphone is being recognized on the same laptop that mine is not. Any suggestions?

    The key bit of information here is that one iPhone works on the computer in question and another does not. So it is unlikely that AMDS is not running or there is a driver problem; if either of these was the problem neither phone would be recognized in iTunes.
    Unfortunately, I don't have an answer either. Except to verify that both iPhones (the one that works and the one that doesn't) use the same cable and the same USB port.
    Also, are the two iPhones the same model and same iOS version?

  • HT1349 I have podcasts on my iphone that are not showing up in iTunes. I can't get the delete arrow on the phone and can't delete from iTunes. Any ideas?

    I would like to delete a number of podcasts from my iPhone. They do not show up in iTunes and when I pull the arrow on the phone it does not give me a delete option. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Recently I had to restore my computer, when I first reconnected my iPhone I thought it might sync it and wipe out everything on my iPhone, but it didn't do that. The only thing that seems messed up is the podcasts.  I do have an app called Bookmark that I use to listen to books and podcasts. Thanks for any ideas.

  • HT1329 I have music that I downloaded from my cds on my very old Ipod. How do I save this music to my library? I havent updated this since I purchased a new computer so I have music on my Ipod that is not in my Itunes library. I don't want to lose this mu

    I have a very old Ipod probably 12 years old. It could be the first or second generation. I have music on it that I would like to put on my new one. I have not updated this Ipod since I purchased several computers ago. How do I put the music from this Ipod into my library. It is music from CDs I own. I really don't want to have to take all that time to redo that again. Can anyone tell me how to do this. I would like to update my library with this music and update this old Ipod with new music for use in my car. It works great and does what I need it to do so I can't see tying up my new Ipod or Iphone when I want to use it in my car. I appreciate any suggestions you can give me. Thanks

    Restore them to the new computer using the bakcup of the old one. If you don't have a backup of the old computer, you can re-download music purchased from the iTunes store. If they were imported from CD's, etc. You will either have to re-rip them or purchase third party software to extract them from the phone. The iPhone is not a backup or data transfer device.

  • I have music on my iCloud that is not mine. How can I get rid of it?

    I recently synced my ipad mini with my laptop and now there is music on my ipad which is not mine. How can I get rid of it and more importantly, how did it get there?  Thanks

    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Store
    Tap the Apple ID then tap Sign Out then sign in with your Apple ID.
    Perhaps you have more than one user account on your laptop and iTunes content was synced using another Apple ID from that account.

  • I'm missing a few songs on my iphone that are not missing in my itunes. I clicked "sync all music" already.

    There isn't the exclamation point next to the songs in itunes. There are only about seven songs missing on my Iphone. A long with a few album artwork issues. It wouldn't be such a problem if it weren't my favorite band's stuff missing.

    I ran into this problem as well, random songs missing from one album of a particular band.  First I compared the info of each the missing tracks (command-i while in itunes) to the rest of the songs on the album to see if there were any discrepancies, as this could potentially confuse the iphone.
    It turned out that wasn't the case; the only information that was different for each song was the name of the song and the track number, which is as it should be.  But I did notice that in the 'Track Number' section of the Info tab for each track, the total number of tracks for the album wasn't listed.
    In other words, the track number for each song was listed as 'Track Number x of __'.  When I entered the correct value for the blank box (i.e. the total number of songs for the album (16 in this case)) for each of the tracks, this fixed the problem on my iphone.  So, for example, for track #3, instead of having 'Track Number 3 of __' it now says 'Track Number 3 of 16', and the same goes for all the other tracks.  All I had to do was re-sync my iphone, and voila, problem solved!
    To save time, you can enter this info for all the tracks on the album simultaneously by shift-clicking or control-clicking to select them all at once, and then pressing command-i.  The number you put in the dialog box that comes up (which should have the album name but none of the song names) will be applied to each of the tracks all at once.

  • I have music on my iPod that I didn't purchase through Itunes, I need to get it onto my computer, but I don't know how.

    I have a ton of music on my iPod, I need to transfer it all to my computer, Itunes if possible, but I can't figure it out. I can't use transfer purchases, because it isn't music I bought from the store. The music is from a computer I no longer have access to. Please help!

  • How to get rid of the old songs from iPhone that do not show up in iTunes?

  • IPhone 5 will not be recognized by iTunes or charge while on but when turned off the iPhone will charge just fine but still won't sync with iTunes what should I do?

    Was charging my iphone 5 for about an hour or so after charging unplugged and went to playing games phone was at 5% so I grabbed my cable and plugged it into the wall nothing happened tried three different chords and blocks and sockets afterwards I plugged my phone into the computer and it wouldn't charge or sync with iTunes it acted as if it wasn't even plugged in so I shut the phone off and though I'd give It a break and try again later. As I got ready to go to bed I though I'd try to plug it back in and see if anything happened nothing did so I just left it I went to mess with it this morning and come to find out it was at 100% I continued to mess with it and i came to the conclusion that it only charges when turned off. I can't get the phone to reset and would love to restore with iTunes if it would sync with iTunes I don't know what I need to do but really need my problem resolved since its a hassle to have to turn off my iphone in order to get it to charge

    Is that a new iPhone? Bring it in to Apple for a replacement.
    But do this first:
    hold the Home Button and the Power Button at the same time, keep holding, ignore everything on the screen, keep holding until you see the white Apple logo appear, then let go and let it start up.
    It should charge both when on and off, unless you connect throug a hub and there are current eaters also on the hub: connect directly to the usb port.

  • HT4914 I have music on my iPod that is not in my iTunes library. Can this music be stored in iCloud?

    My computer crashed a few months back, and I lost a significant portion of the music that was in my iTunes library. However, everything I lost is still on my iPod. Is there a way to store this music on iCloud using iTunes Match? Or can I only store the music in my iTunes library on my computer?

  • I have music on my ipod that i cant move onto my itunes on the mac, I have music on my ipod that i cant move onto my itunes on the mac

    I have a new mac, have downloaded my itunes on to it pluged in my devices and half the music on my Ipod has not transfered. How can i get it into my itune library ?

    Plug in your device and wait for it to show up in iTunes. After it does click on it, then go to "Music." Shift+click to select the desired audio files, and manually drag them up to the "music" folder at the top left within iTunes. If that doesn't work we can try something else.

  • I have an outstanding event notification that will not allow me to accept, decline or maybe. Neither can I delete the event, despite it taking place over 6 months ago. Sent numerous reports to Apple. How can I get rid of this?

    I have an outstanding notification on my calendar on iCloud. Despite the event taking place over six months ago, it is still showing as an outstanding event. I have tried to 'decline, maybe or accept' the event invitation and each time it tells me the calendar is not repsponding and send to Apple, which I do and yet I still cannot get rid of it. Any other event invitations that I accept etc will disappear, except this one. Help!

    Does this apply?

  • I cannot sync my iphone 4S message not enough space for itunes-how do I fix this

    How do I fix a sync problem for iphone 4s- not enough free space to hold all items in itunes?

    Assuming there is actually enough space try this:
    BACKUP to computer
    Restoring to factory settings
    Restore from backup
    Sorted.
    That fixed mine. I have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with pulling out from USB without ejecting for itunes/USB bus. Just like on any USB drive, open files will leave a mark behind if not closed properly. Honestly I have no idea why it does it.
