Music transfer from iphone to Mac

I gave my kid my 3 yr old Macbook.  He has an older iphone with 300 songs from frostwire.  How can he transfer those to his computer.?

He'll need to use third party software.

Might work on the iPhone as well.

  • Email transfer from Iphone to mac or between email addresses

    I have 3 email addresses on my iphone 5.  One of the email accnts was locked by my service provider after I cancelled my internet service.  I can not access it by logging in but I do have a lot of emails stored on my phone in various folders for that email address.  Is there any way to either export them to a mac or trandfrer the folders and emails to one of the another email accounts on my phone. 
    I have hundred of emails on there so just sending them to myself again is not a real option.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Transfer of non-purchased music is one way only, MAC -> Phone.
    You'll need to get those digital files off your old computer and move them to your new computer.

  • Ipod music transfer from PC to Mac?

    Hello,
    I recently reformatted my ipod shuffle to PC so as to use as a portable drive. On my PC I have music that I do not have on my Mac. Itunes deleted the music from mac and replaced with music from PC. when I plugged the ipod back into the Mac, it asked some weird question about which library to use (yes or no options), one answer(no?)did nothing and no longer recognized the ipod until an unplug and reconnect. the other answer(yes?)replaced the music library with the macintosh's original playlist.
    So, is it possible to transfer music from a PC to mac? Is there some sort of copyright issue I'm missing here? If I replace the ipod music from the PC itunes library again, how can I transfer that music to the Mac?

    I found this which I think answers the question:
    Can I take a friend's iPod shuffle and browse or play its content on my machine (like I can with other iPods)?
    No, there is no manual mode that allows you to view or play the content from a friend's iPod shuffle on your computer. This also means that you cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle like you can with other iPods.
    Can I transfer data to iPod shuffle from multiple computers when in disk mode?
    Yes. If you put iPod shuffle in disk mode, you can transfer data from multiple computers from the Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows). You can only load music from one computer, using iTunes.
    Can I use iPod shuffle with both a Macintosh and a Windows computer?
    Yes. When you place iPod shuffle in disk mode, you can use it to transfer data between multiple computers, running either operating system.
    Thanks anyway, seems like a strange thing not to be able to do.

  • Music transfer from iphone to new pc

    hi,I want to transfer music from iphone to  pc after hard disk replacement.thks

    Hello lavergne
    You can only transfer music that has been purchased through the iTunes Store. The steps are outlined in the article below. Also the other article will let you download other purchases without having to plug in your iPhone.

  • Had a new hard drive installed on my Mac. Now how to get ALL my music/photos from iPhone to Mac?

    I had a hard drive crash on my Mac laptop over Xmas, and had a new one installed.  The iCloud contains all my purchased music, but I need to sync from my existing iPhone to get all the songs I previously had uploaded to my library from CDs.  (Don't want to do that again if I can avoid it!)  My iTunes library (actually on iCloud now) is about 600 songs short.  Is there a way to do this?  Every time I attempt to sync, I get a warning that all my songs on the iPhone will be wiped and replaced with what's in the library.  That's exactly the opposite of what I want to do.

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can purchase third party programs to retrieve the other music, at your risk.

  • Music transfer from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4s?

    I'm having trouble transferring my music from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 4s.  Here's what I tried.  I backed up the iPhone 4 and then plugged in the newly activated iPhone 4s and restored it as a backup.  When the iPhone 4s finished restoring, only photos and settings had transferred.  The apps began transferring, but my music was no where to be found.  The iPhone 4 is set to manually manage music and video.  It was also running iOS 4.3.3.  Is iOS 5 required on both phoens to restore data from one phone to another?  Would the software difference explain why the music and contacts did not transfer?

    You can backup the 4, erase all content and settings on the 4S (reverting it to a "new" state), then set it up and tell it to restore from iTunes using the backup made of the 4. I know that if you are syncing music, this will set it up with the same media on the phone. I don't manually manage music, so I don't know if it will definitely do this under those circumstances. It sounds like it doesn't.
    Syncing does NOT mean you have to transfer EVERYTHING in your library to the phone. It's fairly simple to selectively sync playlists, artists, genres, specific podcasts, etc.

  • Music transfer from IPHONE to new laptop

    hi
    my iphone wont transfer my music as states my i tunes library is already on a previous pc - which it was - but this pc crashed due to a virus and had to be scrapped - how do I transfer to my new laptop?
    thanks

    OK, just encountered this yesterday with an iPod Touch that I bought my sister. I made an account for her on my computer and registered it with her iTunes account so she could install stuff on the new iPod to use on trip home. When she got home to sync it, she would get a message that it was going to be erased. We had no choice but to proceed with the sync. After that message though there was a dialog to either erase, merge, or cancel. I selected merge and the only thing that she lost was her folders which were easy enough to recreate since she didn't have very many to begin with. I think this is something new with iTunes and while it didn't destroy/lose any important data, it's not really how it should correctly opperate not only was there an extra dialog box, but it misinforms the user that their data is going to be erased when it will not if they choose to merge on the next dialog which they are then too afraid to reach for good reason.

  • Will all my music transfer from the mac to my macbook air? I don't want it to because there is too much and the air will not hold it.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
    If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

  • How can I transfer contacts from IPHone to Mac?,

    First of all, thanks to everyone who will help me.
    I syncronised many times my Iphone 3GS with Mac and everything was OK (apart that I found all the contacts twice or 3 times in Iphone).
    I backuped Iphone sometimes on the Mac and others on ICloud.
    Last time, I found that the adress book in Mac was almost completely empty (only 10 or so contacts, all the groups empty) but I have everything in the IPhone.
    How can I now get to transfer all the contacts from IPhone to Mac?
    Thanks again
    Anna

    Deleted the contacts from where?  The device? the computer? both?
    Use the backup of the computer to put them back if they have been deleted off the computer.  Once that is done, they can be synced to the iPhone.

    How are you trying to transfer it?  Which applicaiton on the Mac are you using? How are you connecting the iPhone to the Mac? If you're using iPhoto what version of iPhoto is it and what system are you using?

    You don't. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone. To import pics/videos in your camera roll, read here:
