Unable to transfer music and photos from iphone to computer

I just got a new computer because my old one was damaged and the hard drive dead also. All my music and photos are on my iphone but when i tried transferring them over to my new computer, it does not transfer all my music and photos over. Any idea what to do?

Hello theopeningeye,
It is not possible to transfer Music, Songs, Playlist etc.. from your iPhone to your computer via iTunes, you will have to find a 3rd party software.
Regards,

how to transfer music and pictures from iphone to computer

If the music was purchased from iTunes then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer). If the music came from other sources and you don't have a copy of them anywhere else, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which might be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
For photos taken with the phone then on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard, and on a Mac you can use Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture : copying photos. To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

How do I transfer music and photos from my iPhone 4s to my iPad

HHow do I transfer music and photos from my iPhone 4s to my ipad

You cannot directly transfer anything from an iPhone to an iPad. If your iPad is signed onto the same Apple ID as your iPhone in Settings>iTunes & App Store, then it has access to the same Music library as your phone. Click on the More tab in the iTunes App on your iPad, and then on Purchased, Not on this iPad to see all of the music available to download to the iPad. You can also set the "Automatic Downloads" option to ON in Settings>iTunes & App Store and going forward, any music you purchase on the iPhone or via iTunes on a computer will automatically download to your iPad. Set the same setting on the iPhone to have it do the same.
As for photos. If both the iPhone and iPad are signed onto the same iCloud ID in Settings>iCloud, then turn on Photo Stream on both the iPad and iPhone to share Photo Stream photos between the two devices. Photos on your Camera Roll that are no longer on Photo Stream, or photos in other Photo Albums would have to be sync'd to the iPad via iTunes on the computer you sync with (assuming you have imported your photos to that computer).

HT201302 how to transfer contacts and massages from iphone to computer

How to transfer contacts and massages from iphone to computer?

Hi, Shahmeer23c
iCloud is useful for a lot of things and backing up your iPhone's data is one of them. Included in the data and files that you can safely keep using iCloud are your contacts. The following instructions detail how to transfer contacts from iPhone to computer.
Step 1. On your iPhone, tap on Settings. On the "Settings" menu, select "iCloud". You will then be taken to the iCloud Settings.
Step 2. Enable the "Contacts" setting and should you be informed that you'll have to merge your contacts to iCloud, tap "Merge".
Step 3. Now on your computer, go to iCloud.com and login with your iCloud credentials.
Step 4. Once you're logged in, click on the Contacts icon to access your address book and all iCloud features for the contacts you've uploaded.
Step 5. In the address book, click on the cog icon at the lower-left portion, click "Select All", and "Export vCard" afterwards.
Step 6. iCloud will then give you a vCard that you can store on your computer. It contains all the contacts you've uploaded to iCloud using your iPhone.

Can I transfer music and photos from my 17" PowerBook G4 to a new MacBook Pro?

I am planning to buy a new MacBook Pro in the next couple of weeks. Can I have the "Genius" at the Apple Store transfer my music and pictures from my current PowerBook to the new computer? My current computer is a 17" PowerBook G4, running OS X 10.5.8. Because of the age of my computer and software limitations I have been unable to use iCloud for anything besides my calendar and contacts.

Yes, flash drive would work fine.
If all you care about is music and photos, as you indicated earlier, then you simply need to copy the entire contents of your Music and Pictures folders from the old computer into the Music and Pictures folders on the new computer. A flash drive will work fine as long as it is big enough. If you want to also move over personal files, typically those are in your Documents folder and possibly your Desktop, so don't forgot about those.
If you want to migrate over all your emails, applications, internet and router settings, web browser favorites, bookmarks, preferences, user names and accounts, etc., then you might consider doing the full migration using Setup Assistant upon the very first boot up. Apple will do this for you, for a fee, as will almost any Apple-authorized computer store (also for a fee, but probably for a bit less than Apple would charge). You can actually do this manually, using the external drive or flash drive, and I have done that myself. But you need to know where the files are to do that properly. The Setup Assistant (which is run upon the very first boot up of the new computer) or Migration Assistant (which is run after you have booted into your new computer at least once) make it pretty easy -- the main thing you need to do is hook the computers up with a firewire cable and follow Apple's instructions; or if that is not possible, the next best thing is to make a complete backup of your old computer onto an external drive using Time Machine (or a cloning program like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner) and migrate from the backup.

How to transfer messages and photos from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5?

Bought an iPhone 5. Never had good explanation of moving messages and photos from old iPhone 4. How can this be done?

Hi, there are 2 useful methods you can try:
Solution 1. Restore your iPhone 5 with the backup file of your iPhone 4. The brief simple steps are:
        1.Connect your iPhone 4 with your computer via a USB cable and launch iTunes;
        2. Click on your iPhone in iTunes. In Summary window, choose 'This computer' and click Back Up Now in the backup area to backup your iPhone 4.
        3. Reject your iPhone 4.
        4. Connect your iPhone 5 to your computer through the USB cable. Click it in iTunes.
        5. Click 'Restore iPhone'. Follow the prompts and do what it tells you to do.
        6. When the prompt ask you to set your iPhone, choose the backup you've made in step 2 to restore your iPhone 5.
Note: Messages will surely be restored to your iPhone 5. As for photos, only these one you've captured with your iPhone (saved in Camera Roll) will be restored to your iPhone 5.
Solution 2. Connect both iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 to your computer, try MobileTrans to copy photos and messages from your iPhone 4 to iPhone 5.

Transfer music and photos back to my computer

I had a virus and resulted in my having to change my hard disk.
I did not have back up of my photos or music, which they are safe on my Ipod photo.
Now my computer is fully repaired and have downlowded my software for i-pod again, obviusly is empty.
How can i download my music and photos back on to my computer with its new hard disk?
If i get it wrong, I loose everything!
Thanks and regards
jg

You won't be able to, just by navigating out the iPod's photos folder in iTunes. You'll likely need the help of some sort of third party software to get the job done for you. One thing you'll want to keep in mind about these photos is that they are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnail versions that were optimized for viewing on your iPod's Video smaller 2.5" LCD display.
Here is one such product.

How do I transfer music and photos from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. Have an old FireWire but it does not fit the new iMac

I am trying to transfer photos, music, etc from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. The Power Mac is too old for the migration assistant to help. I have an old Firewire but it does not fit the new iMac. Any suggestions? If a Firewire is the best option which one do I need? Thanks.

You need a Firewire 800 to 400 adapter or cable or a external USB 2/3 drive (self powered) it can default to the old USB the G5 uses 1 or 2.

How can i transfer music and photos from my ibook g4 to my new mac mini?

the g4 has a firewire 400 and the mini is firewire 800. IS there 400 to 800 firewire or a male-male usb2 cable out there? I've tried moving files to my external drive and then moving to the mini but the photos move over as one event. The music moves fine but the 2 step process is slow and tedious. Is there an easier way?

Hello,
Firewire cables with a Firewire 800 connector on one end and a Firewire 400 connector on the other end are common. For instance, the Belkin 6'/1.8m FireWire 800/400 Cable.

Cannot transfer videos and Photos from Iphone 3GS to my PC or MacBook

I have an Iphone 3G and my wife has a 3GS. On the 3G Windows XP or my MacBook will see the iphone as a camera. But on the 3GS neither OS will see the iphone as a camera. They both just open Itunes
I took a lot of video over the weekend with the 3GS and I need to get it to my PC without loosing the quality of the video.
Any ideas?

not that easy - but I did it! You need Adobe Photo Shop or as they say Adobe Photo Elements. Get started Adobe Photo Shop and klick on the Menu "File" / Import / via iPhone....
.... and it works. You can import all photos to Photo Shop and save them as you want.

How do i transfer music and ringtones from my apple pc to the ringtones on my iphone 4, tried everything, help

How do I transfer music and ringtones from my apple pc to my iphone 4, all downloaded into my ipod on my phone, unable to transfer into ringtones, help

Music transferred from your iTunes library to your iPhone is transferred to the iPod on your iPhone only.
If a custom ringtone is in the correct format, it will be available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Are the custom ringtones in your iTunes library available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

I used the migrator utility to transfer music and picture from my old PC and now I have 2 accounts on my new Mac, how can I get back to one account and still have the music and photos transfered ?

I used the migrator utility to transfer itunes and photos from my old PC to my new Mac and ended up with 2 accounts on my new computer. How do I transfer the music and photos and only have the 1 account on the new Mac ?

That's not easy. The Windows migration tool makes a new user account, and you can't prevent it.
You may be able to transfer what you want manually, but it's not quick or easy. See Transferring files from one User Account to another.
