I need to take music off my I Phone to download new operating system. How do I do this?

Hey smllygoblue,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide a solution:
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
Make sure your device has enough available space to install the update. Use iTunes to update if you don't have enough space, or remove content from your device. Tap Settings > General > Usage to see how much space your content uses.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop. I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop. How do I do this?

    I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
    How do I do this?
    (when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)

    Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said.  You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
    If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before.  You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer). 
    After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
    If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy.

  • I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music

    Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!

    What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

  • How do I take music off my iphone

    I have used iCloud to put music on my iPhone and now I need to take some off. How do I do that?

    Hi TatiWhited,
    You can delete individual songs, artists, albums, playlists, compilations and composers from your iPhone.
    Swipe over one of the items above and tap on the red DELETE button.
    This information is on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    I hope this information helps ...

  • HT1351 How do I take music OFF my iPhone? I have a 4S

    Can anyone tell me how to get music off my iPhone?

    The same way it was put there, by managing content via iTunes on the computer.

  • How can i get music off my iphone onto my new computer without the music on both having songs deleted?

    I have a new computer and have put some music on it before I hooked up my iPhone. So now I have some music on my iPhone that I don't have on my computer and I don't want to 'sync' and lose some of the music on my iPhone.  So I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with getting the music off my iPhone and adding it to my new iTunes??

    The syncing of music is not a true sync process - not really a sync at all. It is a transfer process. No iTunes content in your iTunes library will ever be touched or removed by syncing an iDevice.
    Where is your old computer - the one with your iTunes library that was used to sync with your iPhone? Why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.?
    If your old computer is still available, transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link. This will prevent any iTunes content from being removed from your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer.

  • HT4914 can I take music off my iphone and increase space after i upload to iCloud?

    Can I remove music from my Iphone and increase storage space after  I upload to iCloud through iTunes Match?

    Probably, but I'm not sure if the music will stream or download to your phone as you play it. If the former, consider data charges, if the latter, the phone will slowly refill.
    Another option is changing the music's bit rate to 192 or 128 kbp/s in the iPhone Summary screen in iTunes:
    This saved me many GB of room.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old comptuer to your new one.
    Sync your iphone. 
    It will delete the current content from your iphone and replace with content from the new computer.

  • HT1473 I just got a new computer and want to import my music (current playlists and all music) from my ipod to my new computer. How do I do this?

    I just got a new computer and want to import my music from my ipod classic and keep my current play lists. How do I do this?

    You can go to the pictures folder on your old computer and copy the "iPhoto library" file and copy it to a thumb drive or something like that and then just open it on your new Mac.

  • Need Help with music on my iphone with a new itunes download

    Hi,
    My old computer has died. All my music is on my iphone 5. Ive installed itunes onto a new computer and cant seem to get my music from my phone onto the itunes libary on my new computer. Also every time I try and get the music from my new computer onto my iphone it comes up with a error????
    I cant seem to sync the phone to the new itunes either, even though its the same apple id and password.
    Any help would be awesome.
    Cheers Evelyn )

    Once the Mac can see your Mac then you can use a program such as PhoneView (http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/) to see the content of you iPhone and transfer it to the Mac.
    Did the Mac die or did the HD die? If the issue is the Mac then you should be able to remove the HD and install in an external case to transfer the content to the new Mac.

  • My old computer crashed, my new one won't let me get my music off my iphone or put new music on it.

    So i had my iphone connected to my old computer.  It crashed.  However i had my work computer that i was going to use.  My work computer is connected to my ipad.  I can plug my iphone into my work computer and see everyting on it but i can't copy all my music onto my work computer or put new music from my workcomputer onto my iphone.  My Itunes on my work computer is authorized as well.  HELP pleae! Thanks!

    If you bought your music from iTunes, right click on your iPod in the device list and choose "transfer purchases".
    For all music you did not buy via the iTunes store, you'll have to use 3rd party software like Touchcopy for example.
