I recently downloaded music onto my iphone from another itunes library

but my own itunes library isn't letting my download it, how do I put the music onto my own library?

From another iTunes library of yours that is available on another computer that you own?
If so and the music was purchased from the iTunes store with the same iTunes account, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was downloaded from the iTunes store only. The computer you are wanting to transfer the iTunes store purchased content to must be authorized with the same iTunes account with iTunes.
If not from your iTunes library and iTunes account on another computer that you own, what you are wanting to do amounts to stealing.

  • How do I transfer and download music onto my Iphone from my new Macbook Air?

    I just recently got a macbook air. I tried to transfer music that was on my phone to my new Itunes library and redownload all of the new music I recently downloaded to my computer. It starts to process the request, gets to stage 2, finishes stage 2 out of 6, n then the processing stops on the computer and "disconnects" my Iphone from my computer, but still processes on my phone. I left my phone plugged in for 4 hours to see if maybe it would finish processing but it didn't. That is when I finally gave up and shut down my computer and unplugged my Iphone. I tried it for the second time, and continued to do the same thing. Please help me!!!

    Hi applenewbie11,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Congratulations on the purchase of your Macbook Air!
    You can only transfer music you purchased on your iPhone 4S to your new computer.
    The article has more details and screen shots, but the basic information is quoted below.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    If you want to transfer iTunes Store purchases from an iOS device or iPod to a computer, be sure to authorize the computer before connecting the device. After connecting your device to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, go to the File menu, then Devices, and choose Transfer Purchases from "(Your device name)".
    Or, you can Show Sidebar from the View menu, and then right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your device in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library. Please see this article for more details.
    Your best bet is to copy your Music folder from your previous Mac or PC to your new computer and then sync it with your iPhone.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Why can't I download music onto my iphone from my new computer?

    I have a new computer that I've authorized. But I cannot transfer new music that I've purchased onto my existing iPhone. It says that my library is synced with another computer. I'd have to wipe out everything on my phone to sync to this new computer. I don't want to do that. How can I select this new computer as the computer that I want to sync to from now on? Will it help to un-authorize my old computer?
    THANKS!

    I didn't watch the video,  However, the procedure is simple.  Download the track from the other site, and make sure it is saved to your computer.  Then drag it into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder (which can be found inside your iTunes Media folder).

  • Is there anyway i can download music into my iphone from a different computer?

    Im trying to download music onto my iphone from my sisters computer because my computer is having problems. But is there anyway i can download music from her computer to my phone without having to erase all of my music?

    No.
    Iphone will sync with one computer at  a time.  Sycning to another will erase the current content

  • I downloaded music onto my iPhone 4S from from the iTunes Store that I previously purchased, and now I can't delete them from my phone.  I tried do remove them from my MAC too, but still can't delete them.

    I downloaded music onto my iPhone 4S from from the iTunes Store that I previously purchased, and now I can't delete them from my phone.

    How are you trying to delete the music direct on your iPhone?
    You tried to remove the music from iTunes on your Mac how?
    Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer?

    You're welcome.
    All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library regardless if you select a single album or folder of photos to be transferred or multiple albums or folders. The photos on the albums or folders of photos include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in an album or folder of photos only by selecting the album or folder, or all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
    Makes more sense when transferring multiple albums or folders of photos which cannot be changed when transferring only a single album or folder of photos.
    The same applies with iTunes and music playlists. A song can't be in a playlist unless it is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song.

  • Itunes is not letting me download music onto my iphone. How do I get it to work?

    I have been trying to download music onto my iphone and it does not work! It just doesn't connect. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    iTunes will only transfer music from the iPhone that were bought at Apple's iTunes store. You'll need to use a third party program such as Senuti to transfer music you got from other sources.

  • HT5622 Why when I try to download songs onto my iPhone from my iPad, it pops up and says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID, You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days.

    Why when I try to download songs onto my iPhone from my iPad, it pops up and says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID, You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 90 days
    (Note, mine says 28 days because I have been waiting for a fair bit for this to go away.)

    You can't keep changing the ID you use with iTunes, you are limited to once every 90 days.

  • I can't trasfer music from my library in itunes to my iphone 3GS. A black ring with a line through it comes up when i try to move music onto my iphone from itunes. How can I fix this so that I can load my phone with music?

    How are you trying to transfer it and what are your setting on iTunes.  I'm not on a computer that has iTunes at the moment so I'm going from memory and similar issue.  If iTunes is set to sync music then I don't think you can select and drag, if set to manual manage music then you can.  Also make sure you are dragging to music on the iPhone.
    Hope this helps

  • I need to transfer music from another itunes library to my current. my last computer crashed and i do not want to lose all of the music stored on my nano. Please help!

    I need to transfer music from another itunes library. My last compter hard drive failed. I have several hours of songs and I don't want to lose these. Is there a way to transfer music from another libray to current? I have recovered the purchased music but would like to transfer other. I have a mini without a disc drive so it makes loading the same music difficult. Please help.

  • HT1451 How do I download my music from my iphone to another itunes library account on my computer?

    Hi, Can anyone help, the music on my iphone was loaded from a itunes library that I no longer have access to.  Does anyone know how to download the music from my iphone to a new itunes library account on my computer?

    yeah... that's just bad advice because it simply doesn't work that way.
    iPhones like all iDevices are designed to sync to one and only one computer.
    Please refrain from giving incorrect advice.
    To the OP, a simple search of the forums or a little reading in the User's Guide would have provided the correct steps on how to get the music purchased via iTunes onto another computer without deleting it off the device.  FYI, it has nothing to do with the device or connecting it to another computer.  Simply copy the files from the original computer to the new computer, or redownload them on the new computer.

    That's too bad.
    If the intent was to obtain assistance, start by providing some specifics of the issue that is occuring.
    How are you trying to add music to the device?
    Are they any errors?
