  • Transferring purchased music from iPhone to iTunes

    I purchased a song on my iPhone, but it doesn't want to transfer to my iTunes when I try to drag it. Transferring purchased songs from my iTunes to my iPhone is no problem, just not the other way around. Does anyone know how to do this? I have a 3G iPhone.

    Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    If so, this is automatic, or should be. With Sync Music selected under the Music tab, after purchasing a song with your iPhone the song will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. The same applies with 3rd party apps if you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Are you manually managing music and video with your iPhone with this selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes? If so, after music is downloaded with your iPhone it will not be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so since you are manually managing music and video with your iPhone, which provides no benefit with an iPhone whatsoever compared to doing the same with an iPod since an iPhone doesn't support disk mode.
    If you are manually managing music and video with your iPhone, music and video is not being transferred to your iPhone automatically - it is being done manually - hence the name of the option - "manually manage music and videos". If you choose to manually manage music and videos, then you've also chosen to manually transfer any music or video that was downloaded from the iTunes store with your iPhone from your iPhone to your iTunes library.

  • Transferring Purchased Music from iPhone to new hard drive

    Hard-drive burned up and has been replaced. Most music was backed up, but not all. And most of the new music (that hasn't been backed-up) is on the iPhone. But I can't copy the files on my iPhone back to my new hard drive. Obviously there are security measures to keep folks from transferring files all over the place. But it seems that if it's on my iPhone, I must have obtained it legally, and there must be some accommodation for a dead hard drive.
    Same question for my iPhone apps. I'd rather not pay for apps twice, and iTunes won't let me copy them from my iPhone back onto my 'puter. As soon as I sync apps, they'll all disappear, unless there's some way to convince the phone that it's looking at the old, pre-burned-up-hard-drive.
    File>Transfer Purchases sort of worked, but not completely. I have about 600 songs on my iPhone, and it copied about 200 of them to my new hard drive. I have music purchased from iTunes, music copied from purchased CDs, and free downloads (Starbucks, Paste, etc). And there's no trend in what got copied and what didn't. Some of each category was copied, but not all. Very confusing that I can't find a pattern.
    OS X 10.5.8, iPhone 3G with 3.1.3

    Apps issue solved. Or, more accurately, it's a non-issue. iTunes prompts you that you already bought the app and can download it for free. Not so with music, I'm afraid.

  • ITunes locks up while transfering purchased apps from iphone 4

    I have had various issues with upgrading to itunes 10.5. Now that most problems have been solved I am having trouble transferring purchased apps from iphone to library. The process starts but after a few apps itunes locks up. I have to go to task manager to exit. Task manager confirms itunes is not repsonding. Any help is aprreciated. I am also getting the blank page when opening itunes.

    An iPhone backup does not contain any iTunes content. After you restore from backup, you must sync or re-download your iTunes content, to restore it to your device.

  • Purchasing music from iPhone

    How does it work if I purchase music on iPhones? Will the songs be transfered from iPhone to my computer when I sync? Or will the music download from iTunes to my computer when I open iTunes on the computer?
    Is the song quality the same regardless if it is purchased via iPhone or my computer?
    Thanks

    If you purchase music on your iPhone it will be the same quality as if you purchase it on your computer. After purchasing the music the next time you sync to your computer the purchased music will be transferred to your iTunes Library and then you can back it up. If your iPhone is set to autosync this will be done as part of the sync, if you are manually managing your music you will have to go into iTunes and direct the transfer of the songs.
    It is a good idea to sync ASAP as soon as possible after your purchase, and make sure you are syncing on your computer and you are logged into the same iTunes account that you used to purchase the music on the iPhone.

  • Transferring non-purchased music from iphone to itunes

    I've got an iphone with a lot of music I originally transferred from my CDs onto itunes then onto my iphone. My laptop with all my itunes and music on was reently stolen and I don't want to go through the pain of reloading all my CDs. I have managed to transfer purchases from my old account (which I shut down as a result of the theft), but cannot work out how to transfer the CD music from the iphone to the new computer and itunes. It keeps telling me I'm going to wipe the iphone. Any help?

    You'll have to use third party software, as Apple makes no provision to do so:

  • Transferring Non-Purchased music from iPhone to computer.

    My Windows computer recently crashed and the hard drive was wiped. I want to transfer all my music from my iPhone 4 to my new computer. I have tried a few of the third party software options and none seemed to work. Also, when I try to activate the "manually manage music and videos" option in the iPhone summary in iTunes, it does not let me unless I Erase and Sync to the new library. Please help..

    This is not a feature of the iPhone and iTunes. The iPhone is NOT a backup device.
    There are 3rd party utilities that can do what you want.
    Google is your friend.

  • Transfering my music from iPhone to a new MacBook

    I had a complete failure of my hard drive on a MacBook and lost everything included my music library. Is there a way to transfer my library that is on my iPhone back to my new MacBook.Tried last night without any luck.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Also, any recommendations besides disksavers for help in trying to retrieve data from a failed hard drive. They said it was a complete failure but I am willing to get a second opinion.

    The iPhone is not a backup device, and iTunes-managed transfer of music is one-way (computer to phone) with the exception of music purchased on the iPhone itself. You'd need to use something like TouchCopy or PhoneView (Google them). But, you really should have had a backup hard drive and made frequent backups - may I suggest you start that practice now??

  • Transferring Purchased Music on Iphone to iTunes

    I recently purchased a Sony Vaio that died on me.... It just came back from Sony, like brand new.
    I have my purchased music on my iPhone and haven't been able to transfer the music to the blank iTunes that I have now...... And when I try tu upgrade to the new iphone version, I get a warning that all of my music will be ERASED...
    How can I tranfer my purchases from my iPhone to my BLANK iTunes?
    HELP!

    Plug in iPhone. Then up in File menu in iTunes, tell it to transfer purchased content.
    But FIRST, log into iTunes Store on that computer so it knows your account info thus knows what to look for on iPhone.

  • Cannot Transfer Purchased Music from iPhone to iTunes

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a couple albums on my iPhone and downloaded them on the iPhone.  When I synched my iPhone to iTunes on my PC, I expected that these purchased songs would be transferred - that's what usually happens. 
    In this case, the songs now appear in my iTunes library, but they're greyed out, each with the small circular sync symbol on the left side.  I am trying to figure out how to get these songs into iTunes.
    I've tried navigating to the iTunes store > Purchased, selecting "Recent Purchases" and I can see my songs.  There is a disabled button to the right of each song that said "Downloaded"... so apparently I'm not able to download them again...
    Then I tried right-clicking my iPhone (while connected to iTunes) and selecting "Transfer Purchases" - one would hope that this would do it, but alas it's not to be.  The status window shows "Transferring purchases" very quickly, then back to normal (Apple icon).  The songs aren't transferred.
    Any suggestions on what to do next would be greatly appreciated.

    I seem to have resolved it somehow while waiting on the phone for Apple support.
    I turned everything on my iPhone and in iTunes related to iCould to "off".  Glad Apple support had me on hold fo 45 minutes or else I'd never have found the time to fix this.  Glad I saved some $$$.
    Judging by some of the other threads, it's probably wise to disable iCloud stuff if you don't live in the US.

  • Transferring purchased apps from iPhone to iTunes

    I can't seem to get all my applications from my iPhone into iTunes -- only a handful of them actually show up.
    I tried "transfer purchases," and it appears to copy them, but they're nowhere to be found in iTunes.
    Any ideas?

    I should clarify: iTunes in the cloud for music is not available in my country. It is of course available for apps.

  • Transfering Photos & Music from iPhone onto a camputer

    I just upgraded to Leopard and in the process something went wrong I lost everything on my hard drive. I have all of my songs, and most of my pictures on my iPhone and need a way to transfer them back onto my computer. I'm not talking about the pictures on the Camera Roll which are taken on the iPhone, but the pictures that were on my computer and I synced onto the phone using iTunes.
    I heard of a program from Tansee, but it is only for Windows and I tried on a friends PC and had no luck (perhaps because my phone was set up on a mac...not even sure if that makes a difference). Can anyone suggest another way to do this? I'm afraid to do a regular sync and have iTunes think I erased all my songs on my computer and erase them on my phone as well.
    Thanks!

    There is a program called the Tansee iPhone Copy Pack (google it) that lets you download your music and pictures from your iPhone to your computer. I mentioned that it didn't work the first time I tried, but I finally got it to work. The free trial says you'll only be able to download the first 5 songs, but it let me download all of them. As for the pictures, it says you can only download the first 6 and I wasn't able to get around that. The songs transferred just fine and I imagine if you pay for the full version of the software it should work for the pictures also. I think its like 29 bucks. The only problem is that it is only for Windows, so I had to borrow my friends PC. Hope that helps.
    When you synced your iPhone to your computer after erasing the hard drive did it sync your contacts and calendar OK? I've been worried that if I sync it with an empty Calendar & Address book, that it will think I deleted everything off my computer and delete it off my iPhone as well, so I haven't done it. Let me know if that worked out for you.

  • Songs deleting when Transferring purchased songs from iPhone to computer!

    When I transfer purchases from my iPhone to my laptop the process does not always seem to work. On a few occasions, it appears to have completed. But when I check iTunes on my computer the purchases are not there and try are also deleted from my iPhone! So I'm left with nothing. Does anyone know a way to restore purchased content to your iPhone?
    Thanks for your help!

    Update iTunes on your computer.
    On the iPhone, open up the iTunes app.  See Purchased at the bottom. Find your movies and you should be able to redownload for free.
    On the computer, get into the iTunes Store, in the top right column, it says Purchasd. Again, you should be able to download them.
