Restoring music from iPhone to iTunes after time machine backup

I recently restored my macbook pro 13-inch from a time machine back up which i did at end January. After the backup, however, I added music to my iTunes, and synced my iPhone with it. After the restoration from time machine, the music was no longer in my iTunes but still remained in my iPhone. How do I transfer the music from my iPhone back into iTunes? I tried syncing normally but the music did not go back to iTunes. Thanks!

  • How can I restore music from iPhone to iTunes Library?

    iTunes deleted music (the proverbial !) in my iTunes library, however the music (I want it in the library) still plays on my iPhone. I have repeatedly trying synching the iPhone (the music is still playing ok on the 3GS) but whenever I click on the song in iTunes library, I get the ! and "cannot locate song". How do I get the music on my iPhone back onto the iTunes Library? I tried synching iPhone but still ! in iTunes. This just happened the other day when I opened iTunes.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    If you have back up your music, you can restore from the backup.
    To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
    Right-click (or Control-click) the device and choose Restore from Backup
    If you have a new phone, you can connect to iTunes and it will prompt to restore from your backup

    If you have no backup for your data on iPhone, iPhone data recovery software is your last shot! I used Wondershare iOS Data Recovery and it worked well, there are also other options available.

  • Transferring/restoring music from iPhone to iTunes

    I had a computer meltdown necessitating me getting an all new computer; no opportunity to de-authorize the old one. This is a work computer, and they do not backup itunes purchases, as per company policy. Unfortunately I never was able to back-up my itunes due to the CD burner having problems. But, all my tunes are on my iPhone and on my Shuffle. Today I tried to transfer them to the brand-spanking new computer.
    I installed the latest iTunes - no problem.
    I update the software on my iPhone - no problem.
    I rebooted everything, just to be on safe side.
    I authorized the new computer, providing email and credit card and name of first born - no problem.
    I checked "transfer itunes to new computer" ... and synced...and waited.
    Only to get an error message saying not all tunes could be located. Turns out NONE of them could be located. Not a single one! All have a next to them. They are all still on my iPhone.
    How do I get them on to my new computer?

    Thank you Carolyn; that was the first link I found before I started attempting the transfer. I followed it to the letter. And, it did not work. Hence, why I am posting my question.
    Any other thoughts?

    You can recover any purchased songs that are on iPhones using the procedure here.
    If this is not available, you can ask Apple to allow you to download your music again. Note that, first, they DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. Purchase of music from the iTunes store entitles you to one download of that item. Second, note that if Apple does allow you to download a second time, they have to pay royalties on each download, whether you pay for it or not. Last, if they allow it, please back up your purchases.
    To request a redownload, contact iTunes support from the menus in iTunes or use this page.
    Best of luck.

    any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

  • No internet after time machine backup

    I sit here on a new computer under a different user name from my old backup. I can't get internet on my old user name. I realized my internet was working fine when I logged into my old computer at the same time to see if it was an internet issue or a computer issue. I'd hate to have to transfer all of my old info from my old user name if there is an easy fix for this that I'm not seeing.
    I've rebooted the modem several times, I've run disk utility, and run all of the maintenance scripts for ONYX. I haven't deleted any preferences and I guess that should be my next step.
    What's odd is that my old user name gets literally 1kbps internet, the new user name gets 1.5mbps, the usual for my internet. I've turned off the old computer to see if maybe there was a conflict with that as well, but the issue still happens.

    it's all the same as far as I can tell. No sharing, and I only use airport and one network.
    I went ahead and deleted a bunch of the preferences in the users>library>prefs. It reset all of the network options, but the lag still exists.
    One thing I forgot to mention was that on my first attempt at the time machine backup, it got hung up at the very end when it said "transferring network preferences". This makes me think the time machine backup has some corrupted file in the network prefs. I wish when I had made my second and successful attempt at the backup was that I unchecked the network prefs to be tranferred.
    I opened up terminal to see if there's some extraneous process running, and there's a lot of stuff running and I can't really decifer if the root processes are supposed to be running or not.
    Anyway, I'm giving up and just starting over on a new account. I've searched around the web, and this seems to not be an uncommon problem (no internet after time machine backup), and there's no apparent solution either.
    At least I don't have to reinstall the programs, just move a bunch of stuff. It's a pretty odd bug and I hope Apple picks up on this one to fix.

  • Continuity issue after Time Machine Backup for new Mac

    I restore new Mac Mini (2014) with a Time Machine backup made on MacBook Air (13', 2012). Now handoff is not working on my MacBook because iCloud thinks that Mac Mini is MacBook Air now. I disabled iCloud on all devices and Handoff and other worked well on Air before I logged into iCloud on Mac Mini. What should I do to repair this issue?

    That's not how you set up a new computer.
    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

  • Transferring purchased music from iPhone to iTunes

    I purchased a song on my iPhone, but it doesn't want to transfer to my iTunes when I try to drag it. Transferring purchased songs from my iTunes to my iPhone is no problem, just not the other way around. Does anyone know how to do this? I have a 3G iPhone.

    Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    If so, this is automatic, or should be. With Sync Music selected under the Music tab, after purchasing a song with your iPhone the song will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. The same applies with 3rd party apps if you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Are you manually managing music and video with your iPhone with this selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes? If so, after music is downloaded with your iPhone it will not be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so since you are manually managing music and video with your iPhone, which provides no benefit with an iPhone whatsoever compared to doing the same with an iPod since an iPhone doesn't support disk mode.
    If you are manually managing music and video with your iPhone, music and video is not being transferred to your iPhone automatically - it is being done manually - hence the name of the option - "manually manage music and videos". If you choose to manually manage music and videos, then you've also chosen to manually transfer any music or video that was downloaded from the iTunes store with your iPhone from your iPhone to your iTunes library.

  • ALL apps deleted from iPhone and iTunes after newest iTunes download

    ALL of my boyfriend's apps were deleted from his iPhone 3G AND iTunes after he downloaded the newest version of iTunes onto his PC. Does anyone know why this happened? Can he get all of those apps back somehow?
    Thanks!

    The only way all iTunes content on his iPhone can be removed is if he synced his iPhone with iTunes after the current iTunes version was installed and his iTunes library on his computer is now empty. A warning message should have been provided indicating this would happen if he proceeded with the sync.
    His iTunes library on his computer is now completely empty - no music or anything else?
    Nothing available in the iTunes named folder located in his Music folder?

  • Can't sync applications after Time machine backup restoration

    Hello.
    I'm running 10.5.4 on a Macbook whose hard drive crashed. I replaced it with another one and restored from my closest time machine backup. Everything is OK with the files, the problem was when I tried to sync my ipod touch.
    The ipod is running 2.0.2. It contained 9 applications, but after the first try to sync I got the error message that several applications couldn't be synced. For each of them I had a message like "Application blah blah could not be synced because you lack the permissions to do so".
    More importantly, the iPod touch now doesn't contain any of these applications, even though they still get reported as a problem during syncing. Rather than deleted, they seem to be hidding, though I can't access any from the touch.
    How can I recover my applications being synced without losing their data?

    I have used iTunes to reset the iPod to the factory default settings. After the syncronisation and reuploading of all my music and photos, I still get the same error on application syncing: I have no permissions to sync applications.
    I have tried downloading new free applications from the App store, but it is the same, nothing gets synced, the new applications are added to the list of problematic programs that can't be synced.
    Here's a snapshot of the error: http://gradha.sdf-eu.org/appsyncerror.png

  • How to restore session from external hard drive as time machine?

    Hi - I'm trying to restore my apps and data from my time machine onto a new hard drive, which was just replaced by Apple.  I'm using a WD elements hard drive as a time machine and the new hard drive only sees it as an external hard drive - it asks whether I want to use it as a time machine, so if I select this will it keep all my old back ups from the previous hard drive?
    When I went through the set up assistant it didn't pick up the external hard drive - it is definitely plugged in, on and on the same network!  I'm now trying migration assistant which closes down all apps, and so it can't pick up the drive either - any ideas?
    Thank you!

    You need to boot to the recovery HD and then select Restore from a Time Machine backup.
    You can't do that when you are bootiing to the real OS. It has to be done from the recovery hd.
