Transferring music from iPhone to computer/iTunes

hi there,
my computer recently caught a virus and had to be rebooted meaning everything was removed from it. I had to reinstall iTunes but all my music was gone. I still have my music on my iphone but I don't want to download anymore incase it deletes what I have remaining on my phone. Is there anything I can do to put all of my music back onto itunes without having to download it all again?
thankyou

The user tip should help you extract everything that is on the iPhone and listed in the Music app, whether it came from the iTunes Store or not.
It is usually possible to remove viruses from computers without going nuclear on the hard drive. Unless the user data has been encrypted the hard drive can be attached to another uninfected computer and all user data copied off to safe storage. Keeping a backup of your data makes even that effort unnecessary.

  • 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.

  • HT1296 Need help transferring music from iPhone to computer

    My computer crashed when I was trying to make backups of everything on it and I wasn't able to backup my music. But now that my computer is fixed how do I get music from my iPhone back onto my computer? Any suggestions. And all my music wasn't purchased through iTunes.

    For non-iTunes purchased music you'll have to use a third-party tool. Google for "iphone music copy" for options. For iTunes purchased content just choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu in iTunes.

  • Transfering music from iPod to computer (Itunes)

    Hi,
    My computer have crashed. I have now replaced the broken harddisc and installed SW. I only have my music in my iPod now. How do I trigger a transfer from my iPod to iTunes, it doesn't happen by it self when the iPod is connected and listed in iTunes?
    I currently got music and filmes in the iPod. And I do not want to loose any of it, just get it copied over to iTunes.

  • Transferring Music from Iphone to Computer ??

    HI,
    I HAVE BROUGHT NEW COMPUTER AND WHEN I CONNECT MY IPHONE TO NEW AND TRY TO UPLOAD ADDITIONAL MUSIC IT AS TO TICK MANAGE MY MUSIC MANNUALLY,
    BUT IF I DO THT ALL MY OLD MUSIC COLLECTION ON MY PHONE WILL GET ERASED
    SO HOW TO ADD AND TICK MANAGE MY MUSIC MANUALLY WITHOUT GETTING OLD MUSIC ON MY IPHONE DELETED.

    First, stop typing in all caps.  It is considered SHOUTING and is perceived as rude, which may explain why such a simple question has gone unanswered for as long as it has.
    You cannot use an iPhone to transfer music to another computer.  You have to add the music collection to the new computer the same way you did to the old computer.  Any iTunes purchases are still available via your Apple ID.  But any music added from other sources (such as CDs) have to be transferred to the new computer using another method, not the iPhone.

  • Transferring music from iPhone to new iTunes

    The hard drive on my new Mac Book Pro failed and I took it to the Apple Store.  They said it would have to be replaced and suggested I take it to Best Buy first to have it backed up.  I do so and they charged me for a portable HD they said had all my files (including iTunes) on it.  I then took the Mac Book back to the Apple Store where they replaced the hard drive.  When I tried to restore the portable HD Best Buy had done, I discovered that Best Buy had not backed up anything. The HD was blank.  I took it back to Best Buy and they appoligized and said they had made a mistake, but they had not been able to back the old hard drive up.  I called the Apple Store back but they said the old hard drive had already been disposed of.  All my music is on my iPhone.  Is there a way to get it into iTunes on the new hard drive on my Mac Book Pro?  I'm not going to worry about the rest of the files on the old hard drive.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod/iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You may be able to purchase software to retrieve other items.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer before it failed?

  • 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.

  • Best way to transfer my music from iphone to computer

    Best way to transfer mu music from Iphone to computer.

    Make sure you phone is logged into the Apple ID you used to purchase this music in Settings>Store.  If it isn't, tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you used.  You should then be able to see your purchased music on your phone in iTunes>Purchased>Music.  Also be sure you computer is auhorized for this ID in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer.

  • How to download music from iphone to computer

    How do I download music from iphone to computer/itunes

    Wjosten ... sorry to push in to this discussion ... but I have a related music question ... and thought you might be able to answer.
    I know iOS does not enable audio files to be attached to text messages.  I assume this is to prevent illegal sharing of songs.  But who is actually saying 'no.'   Is it the music owners (studios and publishers) who fear they will lose control of copyrighted songs (a la Napster)?  Or is it Apple protecting the iTunes business.  Or both.  I wouldn't blame either ... they are just protecting their IP.  I'm just curious.  I wonder if the music companies suddenly decided to allow some kind of music file sharing via text messages ... would Apple (and Google) go along and enable such sharing on smartphones and devices ??

    The iphone is not a backup device.

  • What is the name of the $20 program that has a red itunes icon that transfers music from your ipod to itunes?

    What is the name of the $20 program that has a red itunes icon that transfers music from your ipod to itunes?

    I second the whole iTunes folder approach.
    If for some reason you have split the media folder from the library files then the media folder needs to restored to the same path it used to have while the library files can be copied into the music folder of your new profile.
    If in dobut, backup up the entire Documents and Settings folder before wiping the infected drive, but be selective about what you restore as many viruses drop active components capable of reinfecting the compuer in the temp folders and internet caches. It is much easier to backup more than you need than to discover after the fact that you no longer have access to some vital project you'd been storing in a folder on the desktop.

  • HT1386 I need help getting my music to sync from iphone to computer itunes. Got a new computer and everything else will sync but my music from my iphone.

    I use my work computer to sync my iphone due to outlook appointments and email.  I was given a new computer and got everything transferred ok, except for my music.  I need to transfer my music from my iphone to my computer itunes.  itunes is only giving me the option to sync from itunes to iphone, which would wipe out all of my music I think.  Can someone help with this?

    razmee209 is right, but if you can't get your old computer, you can use iExplorer to download your music from your phone to your computer.  I've used it for other things and it works.

  • 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.

  • Will my apps in my iPhone be deleted when i sync music from a different computer/iTunes?

    So i went to a technician to download paid apps for my iPhone. Then when i went home i want to add music files to my iPhone but when i pressed the sync button the iTunes said:
    The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
    An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
    i was wondering if when i sync JUST MUSIC/VIDEOS/PHOTOS will my apps be erased too???
    Thanks in advance for the answers! <3

    just copy over the music from the other computer, import it into itunes, then sync your phone.

  • Music from iphone to computer

    Hi there, I have synced my iphone to my computer. Bookmarks, contacts, and ical from phone to computer. Worked great..... But.... how do I get my music, movies and photos from my iphone to the computer? When I try to sync this it tells me it will erase my library from my iphone. I don't want to lose this info.

    Only music that has been purchased from the iTunes store (be it on your comp or on the iPhone) can be transfered from iPhone to computer.
    Its under the file > transfer purchases.
