I want to download music from Iphone 4 to my computer

I had to re-install my OS on my computer.  I had my music backed up.  After getting my PC working, I installed ITunes and added my backup folder to the library.  I seems I have music on my phone that is not in my ITunes nor on my PC.
I would to download the music from my IPhone 4 to ITunes or better to a folder on my PC.

Hello!
The article linked below details how to go about transferring music that you've purchased (but may not be in iTunes on your computer) from your iPhone to iTunes.

  • How to download music from iPhone to iTunes on computer

    I have been trying to download my music from my phone to my new itunes. How do I accomplish this?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    How do I download music from iphone to computer/itunes

    Wjosten ... sorry to push in to this discussion ... but I have a related music question ... and thought you might be able to answer.
    I know iOS does not enable audio files to be attached to text messages.  I assume this is to prevent illegal sharing of songs.  But who is actually saying 'no.'   Is it the music owners (studios and publishers) who fear they will lose control of copyrighted songs (a la Napster)?  Or is it Apple protecting the iTunes business.  Or both.  I wouldn't blame either ... they are just protecting their IP.  I'm just curious.  I wonder if the music companies suddenly decided to allow some kind of music file sharing via text messages ... would Apple (and Google) go along and enable such sharing on smartphones and devices ??

  • My computer crashed and all my music is gone. Can i put the music from iPhone back on the computer?

    my computer crashed and all my music is gone. Can i put the music from iPhone back on the computer?

    Yes you can. There are few ways to do this, assuming that itunes with your library doesn't work anymore.
    You can try with a freeware software for Windows named
    iPhone PC Suite
    Another way is to install on your iPhone an app that shares your music. I have one, it's called SongExporter.

  • How to download music from iPhone 4?

    How to download music from iphone4 to new mac without deleting the old data from the iPhone4?
    my frnd slip coffee on my old mac so had to get a new one and now want to add new songs onto my phone but don't want to loose my old songs.
    Any suggestion??? without buying ripping software, as i have already send a lot not the new mac book pro

    iOS devices are not and have never been backup devices.
    Move the content from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.
    Hopefully this clumsy friend either paid for or at the very least contributed to the replacement cost of the new computer.
    If for some silly reason you have failed to maintain a backup, downloading past purchases from iTunes.

  • I want to sync music from iPhone to Mac iTunes library

    Im all confused.  my existing library on my computer is all messed up. I have a bunch of duplicate song files and some that aren't able to "be found" and I want to somehow wipe all the info and music from my Mac iTunes library and put only my music from my iPhone into a new fresh iTunes library.

    Hello Carrie,
    I definitely understand wanting to clean up your iTunes library.  There are a few resources I recommend looking at.
    Firstly, if you wanted to continue with your existing library, you can identify duplicates in iTunes following these steps:
    Choose File > Display Duplicates to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose File > Display Exact Duplicates. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.
    If you are using iTunes 11 (the latest version of iTunes at this time), you will need to go to View>Show Duplicate Items (you can hold Alt or Option here as well to get the Show Exact Duplicate Items option).  You can find the full article here:
    How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2905
    If you think the music you are missing in iTunes is located on your computer somewhere, I recommend reviewing this article:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    If neither of those help and you prefer to recreate your iTunes Library, I recommend review this next article.  This article outlines what media you are able to transfer from your iPhone to your computer:
    iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209
    I recommend creating the new library and making sure it has everything you want in it before deleting your library that is disorganized.  This article outlines creating a new iTunes Library and how to switch between libraries:

    That is correct.  the music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The iphone is not a backup device.
    Copy everything from the old computer, or backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

  • Saving music from iphone back to my computer

    My computer crashed and I lost all my music stored on my computer. How can I send the music stored on my iphone back to my computer? I'm wanting to save the music on my iphone so i can install the update on my Iphone. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    The iPhone is not meant to be a backup for your iTunes library. Hopefully you have made a backup elsewhere.
    Only music that has been purchased from the iTunes store can be put back on your computer:
    Open iTunes, File>Transfer Purchases from iPod.
    All music not purchased from the iTunes store is unfortunately gone forever.
