Pulling Music Off Of An Old iPhone?

My partner is currently using an old iPhone as an iPod, and it houses the vast majority of his music, but all of that music isn’t backed up on a computer nor is it all from iTunes.
Is there any way he can pull the music off of the iPhone safely, since it’s dying and he will soon need something to replace it?

Music that was not purchased from iTunes that is not already in a computer and iTunes library would have to be gotten off the phone with a 3rd party utility. See this user hint for some suggestions. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    How do I get the music off of my old iphone?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • How do I take the music off of my old iPhone and put it onto a library in my laptop if the music is not in my original iTunes library?

    I got a new phone and I'm trying to take the music off of my iPhone 5c, put it into my iTunes default library and then put it onto my new phone. A lot of my music was put onto my phone via mass amounts of CDS and I dont want to put them back on my laptop. I have a Toshiba so that would take way too long. Since I wiped my computer clean awhile back I have nothing in my iTunes library at all. Someone help.

    That is stealing. Your friend has no right/licence to give the songs to you. It violates copyright law.

  • How do I get my music off of my old iphone to my new iphone

    I got a new phone and my music from my 3g will not sync to my computer to get onto my new phone.

    Since all music on your 3G should be in your iTunes library on your computer, what happened to your iTunes library?

  • Itunes wont let me download my music off of my old account

    I've been trying to get all my old music off of my old itunes account and it wont let me. I've even tryed to on my computer and and says " You must authorize this computer before you dowload."

    Have you authorised your account on that computer iTunes ? If not then you should be able to do so via the Store drop-down menu at the top of the iTunes screen (if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then control-B should get the menus to show)
    If you are trying to redownload them then redownloading past purchases may tie that computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • I have most of my music stored on my old iphone. i bought a new I pad, and signed up with a new e mail adress as my old one is defunct. How do i change my e mail adress to the new one, because it keeps telling me apple id already in use.

    You can change the primary email address on an account by logging into it via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it.
    You won't be able to change it to an email address that is being used an alternate or rescue email address on the account (they can be viewed/changed/removed via http://appleid.apple.com), nor to one that is currently being used as the primary email address on an account

  • I deleted all of my music off of my old computer.  The music is still on my IPOD nano and I have a new computer.  Is there anyway I can get the music off of my IPOD on to Itunes on my new computer?

  • Trying to get my music off of my old PC and on to my new mac

    i have an old PC laptop running windows XP, it also has an oder version of ITunes. I have an old IPod, everything is touch sensitive and the buttons light up red (i think it's second gen). i just recently purchased a mac mini and i need to get my music off of the old PC and on to the new macif anyone knows how to do this i would much appreciate your help.
    P.S. I'm still learning about my mac so go easy on me

    I believe your iPod is 3rd Gen (with the 4 buttons on the top?)
    Long story short, an iPod formatted on a PC can be read by a Mac computer, you can download a 3rd party software e.g. Senuti (Google search please) and install it on your Mac Mini, use this software to transfer the songs from your iPod to the iTunes of your Mac

  • HT203167 I bought and downloaded the Ricky Gervais' Audiobook series "A Guide To" last year off of my old iPhone. Since i bought my new iPhone the audiobook dont show up in my purchased items list. Is there a way I can retrieve them without having to pay

    Sorry, but audiobooks cannot be downloaded more than once without charge. You will need to have the audiobooks in iTunes on your computer so you can sync them to your new iPhone. If the audiobooks are not in iTunes and you don't have a viable backup, you may be out of luck. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the situation, and see if they can make an exception for you.

  • HT1212 I am trying to access my pictures off of my old iphone, it says it is disabled and i do not remember my password. If i restore the device will I lose my pictures because that is what I am trying to avoid?

    I am trying to access my pictures off of my old iphone, it says disabled and i don't remember my password. If I restore the device will i lose my pictures because that is what i am trying to avoid? I originally had my phone set up with itunes through the at&t store here locally so the odds of them having that same computer are probably pretty slim.... Any other options?
    Thanks,
    Alisha

    It's too late. If you had been syncing your phone with that computer prior to the screen failing, it wouldn't be asking you for a passcode...

  • How do i pull music off my iphone 4s

    My computer hard drive died so after installing a new one I had to reload itunes.  All my music purchased through itunes automatically synced over but none of my other music.  How do I get all the other music off my phone before upgrading my iphone to the new software?  I've heard people have lost lots of music with this upgrade.

    You should be able to sync it back to iTunes? It sounds like the music automatically re-downloaded from iTunes, rather than your phone.
    Can you plug it into your computer directly and sync it back to your Library? It should then read the music off your iPhone and place it in your Library (I think?).
    If not, best thing might be to call Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/
    Hope it helps!

  • Is there a way to retrieve all deleted photos off of a old iPhone 4?

    I know this may be hopeless but I had to ask because this is very important IF I'm able to get these old photos. With my old iPhone 4, I would delete pictures off of there if I uploaded them online or if I just didn't want them on my phone anymore (which I'm not regretting and I don't do now with my iPhone 5). I'm just wondering if there is anyway I can retrieve/recover any of my photos that I deleted off of my phone? The last time I backed this phone up was a LONG time ago and it was on my old MacBook so I doubt I can recover the pictures that way. Help please?

    Hi thatssoblasian,
    If you don't have a backup with the photos on it, and they weren't downloaded elsewhere, they're gone. Sorry.
