Lost hard drive how do I move music and pictures from iPhone to new drive

I lost the external drive that had itunes on it. How do I get all my music and pictures from my iPhone to the new iTunes program?

Music is not stored in the iCloud. Past purchases can be reloaded from the cloud, and iTunes Match provides this function to non-purchased music.

    how to transfer music and pictures from iphone to computer

    If the music was purchased from iTunes then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer). If the music came from other sources and you don't have a copy of them anywhere else, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which might be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For photos taken with the phone then on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard, and on a Mac you can use Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture : copying photos. To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • How to back up music and video from  iphone to laptop.

    I have a problem about my boss's iphone.
    His iphone is 3G apple.he want to move music and video from his iphone to his laptop.His laptop use Window xp professional Sp 2 and has itue 8.He want to back up
    music and video in his laptop because the musics and videos already had in his iphone is from his friend pc.pls some instruction to me.
    Any advise would be appreciated.

    Transfering music to your pc is only possible if you bought the music via iTunes. Then you can tranfer your purchases back to your computer.
    Or you have to look for 3rd party software to transfer music you didn't buy in itunes to your pc. Search in google for "iphone music backup" or see this link:

  • My old laptop crashed, how do I get music and pictures from ipod touch (2nd generation) to new laptop?

    My old laptop crashed.  I bought a new one, but when I loaded itunes and plugged in my ipad 2, it only added the songs that were purchased in the itunes store.  I upgraded my os to 5.0 and it deleted all of my songs, a lot of my apps, and all of my pictures except for the ones on the camera roll.  I have these pictures and songs on my itouch 2nd generation but I can't get it to synch with the new computer.  All of the solutions I have seen online don't work.  I can't upgrade to the newest operating system because it is only 2nd generation. I tried turning on Home sharing and saving to the cloud, but I can't get it to work on the itouch.  Please help! 

    I don't have a backup copy of my old computer.  I bought an external hard drive and it said it backed up, but when I plugged it into my new computer, it was empty.  My old computer is not accessible.  Is there a way to get the music and pictures that are on my iphone and ipod onto my itunes account on the new computer? I have already lost them on my ipad. 

  • Unable to move music and pictures to iphone 4 iTunes shows sync complete = nothing on iPhone

    iPhone sync issues: unable to move music and selected pictures from iMac to iPhone via iTunes sync.   Sync shows complete - = nothing on iPhone.

    Well, you marked this topic as solved which I guess it isn't really.
    You need to transfer the library with which you originally synced the phone to the new computer.  A phone will only sync to the original library or it will offer to erase the phone for syncing with a new library.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to choose a library, then select the copied iTunes folder.

  • How to put current music and pictures from my Iphone to a new Ipad?

    Hi this is my first question!
    I am about to recieve a new iPad mini. I currently have an iPhone 4s and I want to transfer all my pictures and music over to the new device. I have just backed up my phone so that all latest files are on my PC. I have tried iCloud but this is out because my internet is too rubish.
    So what should I do?
    1. if i set the iPad up using the iTunes backup, everything will go on to the iPad that I have on the phone including the apps, which im not bothered about because I will be using less apps than before.
    2. If I set it up as a new iPad, can I connect it to my PC and get my music and pictures/videos over to the device without everything else.
    I know this sounds confusing but I don't know what to do, I asked in the Apple store and they didn't seem to know either,
    cheers, David

    You can restore the iPhone's backup onto the iPad, but that won't include the contents of the Music app nor the photos if they were originally synced from a computer (if they were taken with the phone they should be included) - restoring a backup onto a diferrent device also won't copy passwords (router, email, website) so you will need to re-enter them on the iPad. You can copy your iTunes purchases (including apps and music) from the iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) - if you do decide t backup/restore then you will need all of the iPhone's apps on your computer's iTunes as the backup only contains their content and settings, and not the apps themselves.
    If you set it up as a new iPad then as long as the music and apps are on your computer's iTunes then you can sync them over to it. iTunes will remember you sync preferences for each device, so you can sync more than one device to it without them affecting each other.
    You can copy the photos and videos that you've take with the phone to your computer : photos to a computer.
    And you can then sync them to the iPad : syncing photos.

  • How can I retrieve music and pictures from my Apple Tv?

    I had thousands of picture, music and movie files on my Macbook Pro, which was synced to my Apple TV.  I have since lost that Macbook Pro along with all the files on it.  I bought a new Macbook Pro, but want to see if there is a way of getting all the old files from the Apple TV and putting them on my new Mac.  I'd  prefer not to pick apart the Apple TV to get to the hard drive.  Is there any app or simple way to transfer files through Wifi, like a reverse home sharing?  If there isn't there should be.

    I assume this is a 1st gen and not the newer models (black box). In any case it is not meant to be used as a storage device and thus no easy way to retrieve

  • How do I copy music and video from my iPod to a new PC?

    My itunes PC no longer works.  How can I copy music and video from my iPod to a new PC?

    You can't transfer music from an iPod to a PC.  Apple do not provide that facility.  It can be done with third party software though.  There are a variety of these available though so search google for 'ipod to itunes'.

  • How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read below that you can't. Really? Is that correct?

    How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read that you can't. Really? Is that true?

    You can delete photo stream photos from iCloud by just deleting them on your iPod.  My photo stream photos are automatically deleted from iCloud after 30 days anyway.  Just so you are aware, deleting photo stream photos doesn't free up any space in your account as they don't use your personal iCloud account storage.
    You can't delete music from iCloud because the music isn't stored in your account; it's stored in the iTunes store.  What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased music in the iTuens store, allowing you to redownload them if you want to.  You can't remove anything from your list of previous purchases.  If you don't want to see these "iTunes in the Cloud" purchases in your song list, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn off Music under Show All.  LIke photo stream photos, this music doesn't use any of your personal iCloud account storage.

  • How do i transfer music and ringtones from my apple pc to the ringtones on my iphone 4, tried everything, help

    How do I transfer music and ringtones from my apple pc to my iphone 4, all downloaded into my ipod on my phone, unable to transfer into ringtones, help

    Music transferred from your iTunes library to your iPhone is transferred to the iPod on your iPhone only.
    If a custom ringtone is in the correct format, it will be available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Are the custom ringtones in your iTunes library available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

  • How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

    How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

    You can't save a PDF directly to the photos app, but if you can open the PDF in the mail app and get the entire PDF to appear on the screen, take a screenshot of it and that will be saved to the photos app camera roll.
    Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time briefly until you see the white flash on the screen and hear the shutter sound. That's how to take a screenshot.
    You should probably tap and hold down on the PDF in the mail app and select it to open in iBooks or another PDF app that you might have on the iPad.
