Now that I'm using Match, how do I get music off my iPhone?
I've got Match enabled on my Mac, iPad 2, and iPhone 4. I have a bunch of music on my phone from before I enabled Match (about 8 GB worth) that I would now like to delete all at once. I'd rather keep the drive space free and just dl matched songs as needed. When I try to manage the music on the phone in my iTunes window, though, there doesn't seem to be a way to do it anymore.When I select the Music tab on my iPhone while using iTunes, I am presented with a window that says "iTunes Match is On." Any thoughts on what I need to do here?
You can go to settings>general>usage click on music and then swipe across the music and a delete button will appear.
Press the delete button and your music should delete.
You cannot manually manage your music from the computer and have itunes match going also.
You either have to have match working on your phone or be syncing the old way. You cannot have both right now.

How do I get music off my iphone and into my itunes
I had several CDs that I had downloaded into my itunes and put them on my iphone. Then my computer crashed and I had to get a new one. Now none of those cds are in my library but they're still on my iphone. How can I get them off my phone and into my itunes? I cant sync any new music because it says my phone is synved with another itunes library and if I do, everything on my phones gonna be erased. Help????
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

I have a new computer and have put some music on it before I hooked up my iPhone. So now I have some music on my iPhone that I don't have on my computer and I don't want to 'sync' and lose some of the music on my iPhone. So I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with getting the music off my iPhone and adding it to my new iTunes??
The syncing of music is not a true sync process - not really a sync at all. It is a transfer process. No iTunes content in your iTunes library will ever be touched or removed by syncing an iDevice.
Where is your old computer - the one with your iTunes library that was used to sync with your iPhone? Why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.?
If your old computer is still available, transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link. This will prevent any iTunes content from being removed from your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer.

How do i get rid of the U2 album that itunes gave me? how do i get it off my iphone music app?
when i go to my music app, there is a album (U2) that iTunes gave everyone and i dont know how to delete it off my music app on my iphone. it gives me a option to download it from iCloud and when i do it then gives me a option to delete the songs but when i delete a song it just goes back to the iCloud option and never deletes it. help meeee
The one band I legitimately refuse to listen to and I can't get it off of my phone. Doing some research, it looks like you can delete it but only if you have subscribed to iTunes Match.
Honestly, you could *ask* if people *want* to download the album instead of assuming everyone loves U2. Newsflash: No. They don't. -

How do i get music off an old ipod
How do i get music off an old ipod classic into my windows 8 system when it doesn't find the ipod when i plug it into the usb?
Hi aekdbaker ,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have music on your iPod that you would like to transfer into your iTunes library on your Mac.
If those songs you wish to transfer were purchased, there are two different ways you can accomplish this. The first way, which does not even require you connecting your iPod to the computer, would be to re-download them from iTunes in the Cloud directly to your iTunes library. Directly connecting your iPod to your Mac to transfer purchases is an option as well. Instructions for both methods of gathering your past purchases in your iTunes library on your Mac are available in the attached article.

To troubleshoot your iPod not being seen in iTunes, please use the troubleshooting steps outlined in the next attached article.

How do i get music from my iphone to my laptop ?
how do i get music from my iphone to my new laptop ?
You can only transfer music purchased from the iTunes store from your phone to your computer. To do this, authorize iTunes for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music in Store>Authorize This Computer, then connect your phone to your computer and in iTunes go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
To transfer music from other sources from your phone to your computer, you'll have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy. -

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.

How can I get pics off my iphone 5
How can I get pics off my iphone 5 & make sure they're saved without a computer. I don't have a laptop or access to one. I have close to 1600 photos and don't want to lose them. How can I save these?

With the free icloud photostream there is currently a 1000 photo limit. When photo 1001 is added then photo 1 is deleted.
It has nothing to do with 30 days.
