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.

  • How to transfer music from iPhone to macbook pro using Yosemite

    Hello,
    I am wanting to transfer all of my music and playlists (including music downloaded from internet) from my iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1.1) to my macbook pro which is using Yosemite (10.10.1) How would I do this?
    Thanks!

    Syncing will only transfer music purchased from the iTunes store to your computer.  Music from other sources can only be transfered from your phone to your computer using 3rd party software such as PhoneView (Mac) or Touch Copy (PC or Mac).

  • How to transfer music from iphone to macbook pro

    I recently bought an album on my iphone 5c from the itunes store, I expected it to transfer straight to my itunes on my macbook pro and my ipad but it hasn't. I've tried to redownload it on my macbook but it wont let me as it says it's 'purchased' on the itunes store but isn't in my library. Please help!!

    Hi ..
    Two ways to do this ...
    Using iTunes >  iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    Or, if you want to sync your music between the iPhone and iPad to your Mac automatically via Wi-Fi, use iCloud >  Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    You get 5GB's or free storage space.

  • Transferring music from iPhone to MacBook

    I have recently downloaded some new albums on my iPhone, however when I tried to transfer them to my MacBook there was a problem with my internet connection and as a result a majority of the songs haven't transferred. At the moment all of the songs that haven't transferred are light grey with an exclamation point in a circle to the left of the song name and they cannot be played on my Mac. I have tried syncing my iPhone again but I can't get them to transfer properly, any advice on how to sort this out?

    iTunes will sync the contacts back for you.
    If you right-click in your iPhone in iTunes, there should be a "Transfer Purchases" option. That will copy anything you got from the iTunes Store from your iPhone back to your Mac.
    You can buy a program called senuti to copy music you didnt buy from the iTunes Store back to your Mac.
    iPhoto or Image Capture will pull any photos in your Camera Roll, but I dont know about getting pictures you synced back. Im sure theres an app for that. Just remember that iTunes downsized them before it copied them, so they wont be the same quality as orig.
    Oh, and go spend 75 for an external hdd and setup Time Machinr to automatically back your Mac up so youre never in this spot again.

  • Transfering music from iphone to Macbook

    My old macs hardrive crashed but i had all my music on there so i need to get it back onto my computer. I still have the music on my iphone though, so is there an application that will help me do this? I've been looking for a while but i cant find one. I need one thats free, supports latest iphone OS, and supports mountain lion. Thanks!

    Why not just sync your iPhone with iTunes on your computer (assuming it now has a working hard disk)? You can also sync it with another computer using iTunes, even temporarily just to have a backup. iTunes can handle multiple devices, if you're using someone else's computer meanwhile.
    iTunes is your best bet for sync and backup of your iPhone.

  • Trapped at transferring data from my old macbook pro to iMac

    I got a new iMac yesterday and was trying to transfer data from my old macbook pro to iMac through time machine...
    However, I encountered HUGE problems....
    Background info: I set up a new account before I transffered my data.
    Here is what I did:
    I used migration assistance to transfer data. I chose to transfer everything listed on migration assistance from time machine to my new iMac.
    After this process was completed, I switched to the transferred account from my newly-set account. Then I realized all the old stuf, (including the software problems + old apps such as microsoft 2008, had been transferred to my new iMac. what I really wanted were all the documents, pictures and music! Therefore I decided to delete this account....
    Question 1:
    1) I deleted the transferred account, then there was a windown came up asking me if i wanted to keep the home folder, I chose no. then mac started cleaning up and BACKING UP. Since I already had a copy of everything, I stopped the backup process....then this transferred account was deleted. However, everything was still on my mac that I don't have access to (at least I don't know how...) when I checked my mac stroage!
       Could anyone tell me how to delete all the files I transferred from time machine to my new iMac?
    Question 2:
    2) how can i only transfer documents+pictures+music from my old macbook pro to new iMac through time machine without creating a new account? I want all the files to be directly transferred to my newly-set account...
    LSS:
    Question 1
    I tried to transfer everthing from my old macbook pro to new iMac but i realized there were something I didn't want that had been transferred as well. Therefore I deleted this transferred account. However, all the files are still in my mac even if I have deleted that account. Could anyone tell me how I can access to those content and delete them?
    Question 2
    I just want the documents, music and pictures (from iPhone library) to be directly transferred to the newly-set account on my iMac through time machine (instead to transferred the whole old account to my imac) How can I do it??
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE OF GOING THROUGH THIS MESSAGE. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD GIVE ME A HAND.
    btw, you can totally see that i'm not a computer person at all....:( thanks for your help!!

    I suggest starting over. Boot into Recovery mode, wipe the HD, reinstall the OS, and, on first boot, use the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide to do the migration.'

  • 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.

  • HT204144 File transfer using Airdrop from iphone to Macbook Pro

    File transfer using airdrop form Macbook Pro to iphone is working...but from iphone to Macbook Pro is not working, Why?

    Hi Brok25;
    Thanks for the question.  The resource below explains the specs and settings that are needed for AirDrop.  Check the settings and look to see if your MacBook Pro is listed.
    Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203106
    Sending files to and from an older Mac
    If a Mac you're using with AirDrop was manufactured before 2012, you can send and receive files with other Mac computers.
    On the sending Mac, click "Don't see who you're looking for" in the AirDrop window.
    Select the option to "Search for an Older Mac."
    On the receiving Mac, open a new Finder window and click AirDrop in the sidebar.
    Tips for sending files
    Make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on your Mac and your iOS device. Although you don't have to connect to a specific network, Wi-Fi needs to be on to send and receive files using AirDrop.
    Move your devices closer together. AirDrop is designed to work within a range of approximately 30 feet (9 meters). If you need to send a file to someone farther away, consider using File Sharing, iCloud, or email instead.
    If you're using a firewall on your Mac, you won't be able to receive AirDrop files if you have enabled "Block all incoming connections" in the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences.
    Make sure your devices meet system requirements for AirDrop.
    System Requirements
    To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
    your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector 
    your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
    your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
    Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network. 
    To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need the Mac models listed below with Wi-Fi turned on and OS X Lion or later installed.
    MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
    MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
    iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
    *The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
    For help identifying your Mac, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu. You can refer to the Apple Support website to find out if your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch includes a lightning connector. 
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • Can't import purchased music from iPad to MacBook Pro's iTunes

    I bought and downloaded classical music albums to my MacBook Pro's iTunes.  They have also apparently been automatically synced onto my iPad's iTunes.  Then I purchased and downloaded successfully four classical albums to iPad's iTunes.  But when I manually synced the iPad's iTunes with the Mac's iTunes, only one of the four paid albums was fully transferred so it can be played from the MacBook Pro's iTunes.  The other three albums only show notices in Mac Book Pro's iTunes that they are "purchased", but there are no digital files that can produce sound.  How can I get the digital music files of these purchased albums to be downloaded onto the MacBook Pro's iTunes so they can be played there?

    Yes you can. Connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, select your device on the left side, right click on the name of your iPad and you can select transfer purchases.
    You must authorize your computer as well in iTunes from the menu at the top under Store.

  • 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.

  • How can i transfer my music from my old macbook pro to my iphone?

  • HT1338 How can I access apps transferred from iPhone to macbook pro?

    Can anyone help me with this? I bought a new Macbook Pro. I already have iphone 4s and ipad2. I have purchased few apps on iphone and ipad. I have connected iphone to mac and downloaded the apps to the library and then I am stuck as I don't know how to access the apps, which are already in library?

    Just to clarify... iPad/iPhone run the iOS operating system.  Macs run OS X.  While there are some underlying similarities, they are two different operating systems.  You cannot run iOS apps on a Mac and you can't run Mac apps on an iOS device.
