Transfering music library from Iphone to new pc

How can I transfer all of my music from my iphone to my new pc. I have only found out how to transfer the music purchased in the itunes store.

Itunes purchased music is all you can transfer. The iphone is NOT a back up device.
The music sync is one way -computer to iphone.
You should move the music from your old computer to the new one, then sync.
You can use your back up copy of your music to do this.

  • Transferred iTunes library from pc to new mac, iTunes ; however, when opening iTunes on mac it reports the library was created with a newer version of iTunes and won't open.

    Transferred Itunes library from pc to new mac; however, when opening itunes on the new mac it reported that the library was created with a newer version of itunes and could not be opened. It asked if I wanted to download updates and I did. However, the new mac is up to date. Itunes won't open. What to do now? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello, Stephen.
    Thank you for the question.  You will need to rebuild your iTunes library file in order to open an older version of iTunes.  Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process.  Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

  • Transferring music/files from Iphone 3gs to new computer

    Hi
    I have previously transferred music form my ipod to an old laptop, both have since broken or been updated.... so lost the info for the website yamipod...I have had a look to help move everything but for some reason it doesn't work on my computer!! Wrong file and I tried installing two of three recommnded programs (FinalTorrent was one) it still wont let me do it....
    I also checked out (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1202) but it doesnt give me the options as shown on screen...
    I don't know if I'm being thick (pregnancy brain!!) or not but i really need easy to follow help to save my music on my iphone!
    Thanks Jules

    Hi Jules,
    You must use iTunes software only for syncing music to your iPhone. Yamipod is a third party iPod manager not supported by iTunes.
    Since iTunes is dependent on your internet connection, I doubt that FinalTorrent will work.
    Make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements for an iPhone 3GS.
    iPhone 3GS Tech Specs
    Windows system requirements
    PC with USB 2.0 port
    Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

  • Music sync from iPhone to new PC

    I have a new PC and would like to sync my iPhone content, music, etc., to my new PC. Is there a way I can do that?

    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old PC to your new PC - especially if your iTunes library on your old PC includes iTunes content that was not purchased from the iTunes store. And you need to do the same for any photos on your old PC that were transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new PC with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. This will not transfer any iTunes content that was not purchased from the iTunes store.
    If any 3rd party apps available on your iPhone that were purchased from the iTunes store are not transferred to your iTunes library with this process, you can re-download any purchased app with iTunes on your computer and not be charged again for the app as long as you use the same iTunes account that was used to purchase the app originally.
    You will probably be better off transferring your entire iTunes library from your old PC to your new PC.
    The sync process for contact info, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks is a bidirectional or true sync process with the supported applications on your computer. For syncing contact info and calendar events, Outlook 2003 or 2007 is required. For syncing contact info only if Outlook 2003 or 2007 is not available, you can sync contact info with the address book used by Windows Mail - the name change for Outlook Express with Vista.
    Before syncing contact info and calendar events with Outlook on your new PC and if the Outlook address book and calendar are empty - do not have any data, enter one contact in the address book and one calendar event in the calendar. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing contact info and calendar events, which you want to select. If you will be syncing contact info only with the address book used by Windows Mail, the same applies - enter one contact in the address book used by Windows Mail before syncing contact info. This will provide a merge prompt, which you want to select.
    Photos transferred to your iPhone from your old PC will be erased first when selecting photos on your new PC to be transferred to your iPhone, so if you want the photos available on your iPhone that were transferred from your old PC if you have any, you need to transfer all photos from your old PC to your new PC along with all other important data from your old PC that you want available on your new PC.

  • Need brief tutorial on moving music library from iphone to imac

    Have a large iTunes library on my iPhone. I want to migrate all of it to our new iMac (Intel using 10.7). I have two accounts on the iMac, mine and my wife's, which have been set up to share the music (iTunes) library. When I sync my iPhone into my account on the iMac in order to sync the music library it gives me a message that if I sync the music all the items on the iPhone will be replaced with the music library on the computer. However, there is no music library on the iMac as yet. How do I get the iPhone music on the iMac so my wife and I can share the library?

    It's not just your media that will suffer if you switch computers, you app data, contacts etc are at risk too. Unless you are unable to do so you should migrate your exisitng library the device syncs with, or a backup of it, to your new computer. This is much easier than extracting content from the device. Otherwise...
    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!

  • Want to import entire music library from iTouch to new HP laptop

    I have an iPod iTouch with a music library of about 2500 songs and I have a new HP Pavillion DV6000 Entertainment notebook computer (which runs Vista). My original iTunes library is in my desktop (which runs XP). The iTunes n the desktop is the one the iPod is officially affiliated with. Apple policy states that an iPid can only be affilaited with one computer. I want to import the entire music library (not just songs purchased through iTunes store) from my iPod iTouch into the empty iTunes library on the new notebook. I've heard mention of iGadget, iRepo and IpodAccess but I don't know how to use these to get what I want. Can anybody give input or specific directions to help me?

  • Remove music library from iPhone

    Any way to delete the music on my iPhone so I can do a fresh new connection to iCloud.

    All you need to do is adjust your sync settings on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings, this time choosing "Selected playlists..." (rather than "Entire Library"), check the playlist you want on your phone, then sync your phone again.

    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.

  • Problems transfering music library from RealPlayer to IPOD

    Just bought the 80 gb IPOD. When I transerred my music library, which is very large and (unfortunately) on RealPlayer, many of the songs are cut off when I play them on the IPOD. They still work fine in RealPlayer on my computor. But the IPOD cuts out (and goes on to the next song) when there is approximately 15% of the song left to play. Very strange.
    More key facts: 1. library is about 68GB. 2. All of the library was originally saved using the RealPlayer software. 80% of the library is in the RealAudio format (.ra extension); the balance is with the MP3 format. The songs that cut out on the IPOD are all ones that were saved with the RealAudio format. The ones with the MP3 format work fine on the IPOD. So, 80% of my songs on the IPOD end early 3. Most of the songs were saved on the then-current RealPlayer version during 2004 or 2005. So it was not ancient technology. All was saved at 192kb/s whether it was in MP3 or RealAudio format. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    "The songs that cut out on the IPOD are all ones that were saved with the RealAudio format. "
    That is the problem. That format is not compatible with the iPod.
    You need to convert them to a format that is.

  • How can I manage music library from iphone

    Is there a way to manage playlists (i.e. add a song purchased from iPhone) from the phone, and have it sync via WiFi to iMac?

    Not from a standard feature from the phone.
    Alternatively you can install a remote desktop like.. TeamViewer 7 and remote desktop the computer..
    But it would be alot easier to do it on the computer..

  • How to transfer music library from iphone 4 to iphone 5.

    I cannot figure out how to transfer the music from my iphone 4 to my new iphone 5.

    If iTunes purchased content, you can simply re-download it directly on your phone. For non-iTunes purchased content, you need to get it in your iTunes library, then sync it to your phone. If not already in your iTunes library, you'll need third-party software to extract it from your phone:

  • Transferring iTunes library from iPhone to computer

    So, great thing happened, my hard drive crashed last week. Anyway, Apple was unable to save anything, so I lost my iTunes library. However, I have an iPhone and all of my music is still on there. I've been able to transfer purchased items back onto my computer. Yet it will not transfer everything else (i.e. stuff I didn't purchase from the iTunes Store).
    Does anyone know how I can go about transferring these things. I've got thousands of songs on my iPhone and hardly any on my computer. I'm a bit annoyed at the moment.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    There is no Apple supported way to do this.
    The iphone is not storage device. It syncs one way - computer to iphone.
    You should always back up important info/music/pics to an external source as hard drives can and do fail.
    This question has been asked an answered countless times on these forums. You can do a forum search and find many threads on this.

  • Transferring photo albums from iPhone to new laptop help?

    My old computer crashed all my data is not recoverable. I have some phone albums on iPhone 5 that I want to download to a new computer, but I can't get them to show up in iTunes or iPhoto when I sync my phone. The only images that download are the ones from the camera roll. Any suggestions on how I could save these images?
    Thank you.
    -F

    Photos outside the camera roll can only be transferred to the computer if you use 3rd party software, like Touchcopy for example, just to name one of the many a search will bring up.

  • 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.

  • Transfering iTunes Library from iPhone

    Recently my computer crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 7; all of my files were completely wiped out, but I have always used an external hard drive for the music I upload to my iPhone.
    So now I have an iPhone filled with music, the music files in their original location and an empty iTunes library. I don't want to lose all of my music by synching to iTunes and am looking for a way to transfer my iPhone/computer files back into iTunes library without having to re-upload them one by one again.
    I have searched the net for quite a while and can't seem to find a solution to this particular problem. Perhaps someone in this forum might know?

    Did that.  It told me the computer was already authorized. 
    Long and short, I went ahead and hit "continue" and this time did not lose all my music data.
    However when I do try and sync it now tells me I cannot sync the iphone because the required data could not be found.    This means I have to sync manually (as it were) and takes longer.
