Streaming music from iPhone to Mac?

Hey guys, I'm currently using a Macbook Pro with Retina Display, the late 2013 version and also the iPhone 6, 64GB. I recently found out that I could play music from my computer but controlling it with my phone. It's called streaming music, I guess? I'm not too sure. I've been trying to figure out how to do that for the past few weeks and I've been unable to do that and I'd like to know how to do it cause I'd love to stream music from my phone but playing from my Mac.
I could really use some help with this.

simple really. You get a box (that's the Apple tv), You plug it into the wall, and then into the tv set. You run setup, it finds your network, then you get out either your Macbook pro, mac pro, iPhone or whatever else has Airplay built in (it's under iTunes--I don't know if you can share all of your music or control it, but I know it's there). You find something you want to stream to the Apple tv, make sure airplay is on , you click play on it, and it shows up on the tv. It's $70. Reflector or something like that, which lets you stream from your iphone to your Mac, is around $15. XBMC should be free (I just found out that you have to jailbreak your iphone first), so there's that. Along with Reflector, there's AirServer and X-Mirage. You also have to turn mirroring on. I've also found out it works with Airport express. I think Apple designed Airplay to work with Apple tv and airport expres only, so I'd recommend going with Reflector, AirServer or X-Mirage, all of which should do the job okay

How do i move music from iphone to mac?

Our mac does not have our full library (from our old PC), our iphones do. when I turned on the "library sharing" it deleted the songs off our PC and the library now matches our mac. However, our Iphones have all of our songs. How can we export those songs back to the mac/pc?

Problem streaming music from iPhone to airport express

Hi
I use a Airport express connected to my stereo to stream music from my iMac and iPhone. It works brilliantly and seamisily from my iMac but when i try to listen to music from my iPhone it connects up but then plays the music but it keeps dropping out and you hear the music but it seams to keep loosing the connection.
the imac and iPhone are connected to the same wifi network as the airport express. If i lay the iphone near the wifi router it still drops the signal and drops the connection to the airport express
ive got an iPhone 4s running Iso 5 and lion on my Mac
just a note ive had this problem with my previous iPhone 3gs running the old iso and the new iso 5 when i updated it the other month
I have also updated the Firmware on the airport express
any suggestions or solutions would be greatuly recieved.
Thanks in advance

thanks for your replies.
It's because I have one router for internet (that I share with my neighbors) and another with my Airport Express hooked to it.
But I would like to stream my music when I go to my friends.
I'll write to Apple

How do I sync music from iphone to mac?

About a year after the rest of the world, iTunes sent to my iPhone the U2 album that everyone else was force-fed and some other music too from a German radio station. I never asked for any of this, but actually quite like it, so I wanted to transfer the music to my Mac. A simple sync by plugging iPhone 6 into Mac did nothing. So I restarted the iPhone, also nothing. I highlighted the songs in iTunes on the iPhone and clicked "Add To", but apart from taking an age, that didn't work either. Anyone have any bright ideas? I looked around in the forum, but found nothing helpful. The handbook or instruction manual was no help either. All I want to do is get the stuff that iTunes forced on to my iPhone to my Mac. Sounds simple, but apparently it isn't. Grateful for helpful responses.

Go to iTunes website and purchase latest iTunes this is very necessary it is the only way you can sync your files to your laptop because iPods/iPhones don't work the same way as normal mp3 players that come out as removable disk in the computer.
AnywY get iTunes the pages one because you constantly update your iPhones iOS so yea get otunes and stick the cable that connects from tour iPhone to your Mac book the. Open iTunes then your iPod will come up as an iPod or iPhone.

Can't stream music from iPhone to airport express when connected to internet

I have an issue with my airport express. When the unit is used solely for streaming music from my IPhone to connected stereo speakers without an Ethernet cable attached it works fine. When I attach an Ethernet cable to the airport express and connect to the Internet on my iPhone, the airport express will no longer stream music from the iPhone. This is a recent problem, previously I was able to access the Internet on my iPhone from the airport express, whilst simultaneously streaming music from the iPhone back to the airport express.

Do you mean Lan cable? Can this be done wirelessly from itunes to airport express without the internet connections? I can't connect to an airport express that's not connected to the internet.

Streaming music from iphone 3GS ipod to powered speakers

Can I stream music to my powered speakers(attached to an Airport Express) from the IPhone 3GS iPod?
Is there an app made to do this?

At the moment, no. I would suggest submitting feedback to Apple if you want this feature.

I want to sync music from iPhone to Mac iTunes library

Im all confused. my existing library on my computer is all messed up. I have a bunch of duplicate song files and some that aren't able to "be found" and I want to somehow wipe all the info and music from my Mac iTunes library and put only my music from my iPhone into a new fresh iTunes library.

Hello Carrie,
I definitely understand wanting to clean up your iTunes library. There are a few resources I recommend looking at.
Firstly, if you wanted to continue with your existing library, you can identify duplicates in iTunes following these steps:
Choose File > Display Duplicates to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose File > Display Exact Duplicates. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.
If you are using iTunes 11 (the latest version of iTunes at this time), you will need to go to View>Show Duplicate Items (you can hold Alt or Option here as well to get the Show Exact Duplicate Items option). You can find the full article here:
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library

If you think the music you are missing in iTunes is located on your computer somewhere, I recommend reviewing this article:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
If neither of those help and you prefer to recreate your iTunes Library, I recommend review this next article. This article outlines what media you are able to transfer from your iPhone to your computer:
iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209
I recommend creating the new library and making sure it has everything you want in it before deleting your library that is disorganized. This article outlines creating a new iTunes Library and how to switch between libraries:

How do you transfer music from iPhone to mac

Some of the information below has subsequently been summarized by turingtest2 in the post at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18842615
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for 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.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
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):

How to transfer music from iphone to mac?

There was a problem on my mac so went to the Apple store. They said the only solution was to erase all the data and start over. But I didn't get to back up my data so I don't have my music anywhere except on my iPhone. So is there a way to transfer music from my iPhone to my Mac iTunes?

Take a look at this link, http://lifehacker.com/5954309/how-to-transfer-everything-from-your-iphone-to-itu nes-on-a-new-computer

Copy music from iPhone to Mac

Hi. So I believe that I may have deleted music from my iTunes after transferring it to my iPhone to save on space. Is there any way that I can backup my music that is on my iPhone to my Mac? Is it as simple as copy and paste?

No, cut-and-paste is not possible. Check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPhone media recovery options:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10570955#10570955
You'll need to make sure whatever utility you select, if you need to transfer content not purchased from the iTunes Store, supports your iPhone. Not all will.
Regards.

HT1329 how do i transfer my music from iphone to mac book Please help

Iv been trying to put my music from my old iphone onto a macbook pro computer ! But im not to sure how to do it. Iv tried alot of things but it saves as a txt . Please help

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content fo the computer to which it is synced.
The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

On the sharing option it gives you, how do I sync music from iphone to mac without plugging it in?

I have them both turned on, on the mac and my iphone, but for whatever reason tehy are not transferring. I just need help on how to make this happen!

Do you have an iCloud account? If so, from iTunes, Store Preferences, check the automatic downloads you want to sync. If you check Music, the music you purchase form iTunes will sync via iCloud to your iPhone if you have the iPhone Settings > Store > Automatic Download of Music switched on. The computer will download and store automatically all purchases from the iTunes store and sync to the iPhone.
If you have music that is not from the iTunes store you have to purchase iTunes Match, about $25/yr.

HT1551 Streaming music from iPhone 4 to apple tv

I can stream videos and photos no problem from my iPhone but can't seem to play music. I can select the button which gives you a choice of iPhone or apple tv but just seems to play silently on my phone and not through the tv. The button seems to turn blue for some reason(not sure if relevant). I've done the usual reboots, software updates etc but doesn't work. Any ideas ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Did you restart your Apple TV, iPhone and the router. What format is the music in.

The following link has 2 methods for importing photos to a Mac (not counting Photo Stream). Are you using iPhoto or Image Capture? If you follow the steps in the link for that method, what exactly happens that doesn't allow the upload? iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

Need to merge my Apps, pics, and music from Iphone to Mac Snow Leopard

I merged my Iphone to the computer thinking my music, pics, and Apps would merge like my contacts and calender. How do i get my music, pics, and apps from the phone to my Mac.

You can only move purchased music and apps from the iPhone to the computer. Connect the phone but do not sync. Choose "Transfer Purchases" from the file menu.
Photos in the camera roll can be transferred using iPhoto, but photos in the Photo app cannot be. There are commercial Mac programs that can copy the photos off the iPhone; Google is your friend. But be aware that the photos on the iPhone are lower resolution than the originals.
