Moving music from iPhone to computer

After a good experience with my iPhone 3 and buying an iPad, I decided to go 100% Apple and switch from PC to and iMac.  I cannot move my music from my iPhone to my iMac.   Is there a way to sync the phone to move the music to my new computer?  I did not buy the music from iTunes, but loaded 200 CDs manually into my PC several years ago.  I would hate to have to do that again. 

You will need to copy your itunes library from your PC and put it on your Mac.
Itunes sync one way computer to iphone.

    Best way to transfer mu music from Iphone to computer.

    Make sure you phone is logged into the Apple ID you used to purchase this music in Settings>Store.  If it isn't, tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you used.  You should then be able to see your purchased music on your phone in iTunes>Purchased>Music.  Also be sure you computer is auhorized for this ID in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer.

    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 ??

  • Moving music from iPad to computer

    My mother bought an iPad2 about a month ago and downloaded all her music from her computer to the iPad2 with my help. Recently, her computer went nuts and she had to completely wipe it clean so she lost all of her iTunes music files. She asked me if there was a way that she could take the music from the iPad2 and download it back onto the computer. I have been told that this is impossible to do. Does anyone know if you can do this and if you can, could you give me detailed instructions on how to do so?
    Thanks!

    This is a recommended method to move music from iPad to computer:
    Step 1. Turn off automatic syncing in iTunes, do this through iTunes Preferences > Devices > check “Prevent iOS hardware from syncing automatically”, then quit iTunes
    Step 2. Download iStonsoft iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer  and install it
    Step 3. Connect the iPad to the computer by USB data cable
    Step 4. Run iStonsoft iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer and click the arrow next to the iOS devices name, then click the arrow next to “Media” and then again next to “iTunes_Control”
    Step 5. Drag the entire “Music” folder to a location on the desktop, this is all of your music and it may take a while to transfer
    Step 6. Wait a while,Finish!you success to transfer music from iPad to computer
    Tip: iPod and iPhone is also the same way,you can also transfer photos,video.etc

  • Music from iphone to computer

    Hi there, I have synced my iphone to my computer. Bookmarks, contacts, and ical from phone to computer. Worked great..... But.... how do I get my music, movies and photos from my iphone to the computer? When I try to sync this it tells me it will erase my library from my iphone. I don't want to lose this info.

    Only music that has been purchased from the iTunes store (be it on your comp or on the iPhone) can be transfered from iPhone to computer.
    Its under the file > transfer purchases.

  • How to transfer music from iphone to computer?

    My computer crashed and after repairing all my itunes backup files are gone.There’re almost 500 songs in it…But I still have those music on my iphone, so can I transfer the music back to computer from my iphone?

    Pop into iTunes and choose File –> New Playlist.Now you can just drag and drop music from your iTunes library (in iTunes, needless to say) into this new playlist. When you're ready, you'll see a bunch of music happily ensconced in the playlist.Cool. Now click on the "Music" tab and you'll see that you can select "sync playlist". Do that, then select the new iPhone sync playlist you've created.Set things up just as I have shown and that's all there is to it. Now click "Sync" in iTunes and it'll synchronize your playlist with the iPhone music library and next time you click on that ole' "iPod" button on the iPhone, your selections from you music library will be present.You may also follow this guideHow to Transfer Music from iPhone to Computer

  • Moving Music FROM iPod to Computer...

    My computer crashed, dammit. Fortunately, had my music backed up on my iPod.
    Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like iTunes wants to allow me move it onto my new computer. Is this some crazy iTunes security feature, or am I doing something wrong?? Any workarounds??? Aargh!!!!
    Help, please?

    Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer.
    There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
    If none of these methods work, try CopyPod which also supports the transfer of videos from iPod to computer.

  • How do you transfer ALL music from iPhone to computer?

    I got a new macbook pro and want to transfer all my music (also the ones that weren't purchased from the iTunes store) onto it. How?

    You should copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Transferring music from Iphone to Computer problems

    I am really not sure where to ask this.
    I am transferring my music from my iphone to my computer because it seems a lot of my songs on my computer have disappeared over the last few years. There is a folder for the band, but the music is all gone. My phone has all of it. So to make it easy I got Sharepod to transfer the music. It has fixed some of the problem, but there is still about 4 gigs of music on my phone, that does not transfer over. I know that sharepod could be the problem (even tho I don't know how the music disappeared in the first place). Does anyone have any kind of answers, or a better method to transfer my music. My backup hdd recently failed so the iphone is my only option.
    I am truely sorry for asking here, but I am running out of places to ask.
    Ty for any help in advance.

    Music should never disappear from an iTunes library unless you are having HDD problems. So I would start by resolving that problem.
    Was the music all downloaded from iTunes, or does it come from multiple sources? If it is all iTunes you can restore it to your computer by connecting the phone and choosing "Transfer purchases" from the iTunes File menu. If it is from multiple sources then you need an iPhone file browser. I am not familiar with Sharepod, so I don't know if it is the problem or not. I have heard good things about TouchCopy.

  • Copying non itunes music from iphone to computer

    My PC crashed. I purchased a new Window 8 computer and odwnloaded iTune. Apple no longer allows you to sync from iPhone to iTunes. I signed up for iTunes Match but that only put music I purchased in iTunes. Any ideas?

    Music has never been synced from the iPhone to iTunes except for music that was purchased from the iTunes Store.
    Where is your computer's backup that should include your iTunes library and all other important data such as documents, photos, etc., or was all other important data lost as well?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    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. 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 purchased content.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
