Transferring music from iPhone 4s to macbook

Is there another way to sync my iphone without having to erase everything on it? A simple way?

Hi..
You can transfer iTunes purchases, but for non iTunes purchases, you need to use a third party utility.
Connect the iPhone to your computer.
Launch iTunes. Select the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
Now from the iTunees menu bar top of your screen click File > Transfer Purchases from ..
For non iTunes purchases, see Zevoneer's post here > Moving files from Ipod to Itunes: Apple Support Communities

Transferring music from iphone to pc

Purchased/Downloaded music from itunes to iphone - how can I sync / upload music to PC to back up?

PaulCB
Saw your post about transferring music from iPhone. I guess I am a total dweeb; I cannot understand Apple's instructions.
I have two identical PCs. Have same version of iTunes on each. iPhone 3GS with 4.01 OS. I cannot figure out how to transfer the 5400 songs on my iPhone into my iTunes library without erasing the 2500 songs (different titles which came from a Dead Dell) that are already there. Any advice would be super appreciated.

Transferring music from Iphone to a new installed Itunes library

I have recently had my lap top repaired and my Itunes has had to be erased, I have reinstalled Itunes and my Itunis es music library is now empty and I did not make a back up, is there anyway I can transfer all the music from Iphone back in to my music library if I sync it with Itunes library it is going to wipe all the music on my phone, thanks

iTunes includes an option to import iTunes content from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store.
First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File > Import Purchases From > the name of your iPhone.

Transferring music from iPhone to MacBook Pro

I just bought a new macbook pro and went to transfer my music from my iPhone to the new iTunes, and only half transferred. The other half are in the iTunes music section but are not highlighted. Help?

The iphone is not a backup device.
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Music from iphone 4 to macbook pro

is there any way for me to transfer my music from my iphone 4 to my new macbook pro? i know you can do it with windows but why is it so hard to transfer to a Mac?? please let me know if there is any solution.

For purchased items: iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
For songs that you ripped from CD's, you'll need something like: http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/
Or alternatively, if you still have access to the PC with the music on, then set up home sharing

Transfering music from iphone 4 to an iphone 5 help

I recently upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 5. I tried to transfer my music to the new phone from itunes and my music will not transfer. What can i do to fix this issue.

Hi Lav122,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The first thing I would suggest is to transfer your purchases from the iPhone 4 to your computer.
Your post doesn't indicate what type of computer you have, but here is the basic information:
iTunes 10 for Windows: Transfer purchases from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to an authorized computer
Next, I would suggest backing up your iPhone 4 to iCloud or iTunes and restore your new iPhone with that backup.
The article below will show you how.

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Transferring music from iphone to new iphone

So, say I'm West Coast guy and in the East Coast visiting family. Had a iPhone 5s and just got a new iPhone 6. Figured I could backup my iPhone 5s on brother's iMac and then restore it to the new iPhone 6. Most of it went OK, except I've got some of his apps and a few other things - but I did not get any of my music over to the new iPhone 6. Most all my music was imported into my iTunes from CDs and then onto my iPhone 5s.
Question: any way to get my music back onto the new iPhone 6, or will I have to resynch when I get home?
Is there a better/cleaner way to transfer settings/content from one iPhone to another new one, other than backup and restore from iTunes?
Thanks!

Transferring music from Iphone to Computer problems

I am really not sure where to ask this.
I am transferring my music from my iphone to my computer because it seems a lot of my songs on my computer have disappeared over the last few years. There is a folder for the band, but the music is all gone. My phone has all of it. So to make it easy I got Sharepod to transfer the music. It has fixed some of the problem, but there is still about 4 gigs of music on my phone, that does not transfer over. I know that sharepod could be the problem (even tho I don't know how the music disappeared in the first place). Does anyone have any kind of answers, or a better method to transfer my music. My backup hdd recently failed so the iphone is my only option.
I am truely sorry for asking here, but I am running out of places to ask.
Ty for any help in advance.

Music should never disappear from an iTunes library unless you are having HDD problems. So I would start by resolving that problem.
Was the music all downloaded from iTunes, or does it come from multiple sources? If it is all iTunes you can restore it to your computer by connecting the phone and choosing "Transfer purchases" from the iTunes File menu. If it is from multiple sources then you need an iPhone file browser. I am not familiar with Sharepod, so I don't know if it is the problem or not. I have heard good things about TouchCopy.

Help transferring music from iTunes to new MacBook Pro

Hi there,
I am almost all set up with my new laptop. One last hitch; I can't seem to transfer my music over. I tried to put my library (about 6G) of music from my old (PC) laptop onto my iPhone and then figured I could just upload it from the iPhone to the MacBook but I when I try to sync it doesn't seem to want to work. I am getting a message that leads me to believe that when I try to sync the iPhone to the MacBook I will lose my iTunes library. Has anyone tried this? Is there an easier way to move the music files over?
Thanks!!

How to sync music from iPhone to new MacBook pro

Hi everyone I just got my first Mac computer so please excuse my ignorance. I have an iPhone that has a ton of music on it most of it from the iTunes Store but some songs are from CD's from people. I am a dance teacher so a good chunk of my music is not bought from iTunes. I need to sync the music from my iPhone to iTunes on my computer. Can someone please give me step by step directions on how to do this so I won't lose all the music that was not from iTunes. I also do not want the sync to erase the music from my iPhone because I need it for the gym. Thanks so much the help is so appreciated!

Any music you purchased from iTunes can be transferred, the rest will have to be imported to the MBP from the prior source. Examine this discussion:

Transferring videos from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro

I need help!!! I regularly import my photos/videos from my iphone 4 onto my macbook pro. I do it through iPhoto, and then export the files onto the hard drive so that I can save in multiple places (hard drive, USB, etc.) Going thru everything today, I realized that none of my video files (.mov) play from my hard drive!! These are precious videos of my 3 kids that I hoped to keep forever and I'm afraid it's all lost as I've already deleted them off my phone after every import to the macbook! Someone please help!!!
Am I doing this the wrong way? Is there another way to transfer video files from my phone to macbook and have them still play normally?

Ok I can try that for next time...but is there any way I can get my other files to work properly? They play fine in iPhoto but I'd like to be able to save them to a USB drive.

Transfering music from iphone 3g to computer

can anybody help? i'm trying to transfer all my music from my iphone to my computer after it has been wiped. i have installed a new itunes and synced my iphone to my computer but i can't find any of my music can anyboby help me ???

Penny wise and pound foolish.
boggles my mind that I can't simply transfer MY files from MY phone and MY PC. /END RANT
Boggles my mind that people don't have a backup and then on top of that, they place blame everywhere but themselves when it comes back to bite them.
$25 so I can have access to MY files is just stupid.
If I have data on two sources (phone and PC), why should I need a 3rd source for backup? There is NO reason why my phone can't act as a backup for PC and vice versa. The old iPods could do this. My old Android phone could do this!
I backup all my important work and personal files, but having 12 gigs of music saved on 3 different sources (plus the CD originals) is just unnecessary.
Please don't make excuses for Apple not supporting this.
But how about going back to solving the problem... is there freeware available or a workaround so that I and the original poster can copy music from phone to PC???
Thanks to those who are trying to help.

Transferring Music from iPhone to new computer

Hello,
The computer I normally sync with iTunes has crashed suddenly with an I/O error on the hard disk. This has left the computer completely useless and now I am trying to manage the music on my iPhone with my work laptop, (Windows PC) but I am only able to transfer my purcahsed songs from iTunes off my phone to the work laptop music library, and I can't sync without losing all my other content on the iPhone that is in my original library on the crashed laptop.
With my original computer out of commission there must be some way of creating a new library on my second computer and managing my music from the iPhone. My only copy of the music files is on the iPhone. How do I move these to the new laptop?

You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That might switch the assocation of the device to the new machine but I couldn't say for sure.
