How can I transfer my iphone music to my itunes...

I got a new laptop and I still have my music on my iphone but since my itunes library is empty I want my music to sync. But I can't figure it out. HELP ME

ps - I have a mac laptop and iphones 4s

The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

it's the same laptop I just made a new account and deleted my old account.

What roaminggnome said is still relevant. Don't use your iPhone as a storage/transfer device.

You have to go to ~/Music/iTunes in your previous account (I presume you mean that you made a "new account" on your Mac) and copy all its contents to somewhere in your new account (not ~/Music/iTunes). Then drag the entire iTunes folder onto the iTunes app icon.

I was having this exact same problem myself till I figured it out.
1.) With your iPhone plugged in, click on the iPhone button near the top right of iTunes next to iTunes Store.

2.) Click "On This iPhone"

3.) Click "Add To"

4.) Then you can drag music to your phone from your albums, songs list, playlists, etc.
Hope that can indeed help you transfer music from iPhone to iTunes successfully! If I didn't clarify it enough, let me know!

Hi -am about to do this so will let you know if it works, thanks in advance

Hello,

I got on to the point 2: Click " On This iPhone".

The Iphone page appears with the summary, but I could not locate " Add To" fo clicking.

Can you please help how to find this?

Many thanks

I understand all of this except for one thing: where is the "add to" button on "on my iphone"

Have you tried file > devices > transfer purchases? Or will that only transfer items that were purchased from the iPhone...?

That will only transfer items purchased from the iTunes Store. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for a complete solution.

What about stuff that wasn't purchased from the iTunes Store?

THIS is exactly the question I have, turningtest2. If anyone has an answer, it would be much appreciated!

I posted this before and it got removed.... probably for "advertising" or some crap.... I'm not trying to sell anything, I'm just trying to help. So I'm posting it again in hopes that it makes someone's day

The first thing you need to do (FOR MAC ONLY) is to go here and download this free program (trust me, I'm usually hesitant on downloading stuff, but this program is a life saver!). The download took a total of maybe 10 seconds... user friendly and extremely simple program, as you'll soon find out.

Once you've successfully installed DeTune, run the program! Once you connect your device, it will automatically show what device is connected. You're ready...

Step One: Connect your iPhone to your laptop (USB) - ignore iTunes if it opens, but CANCEL any sync that may occur (if it doesn't; even better!)

Step Two: In DeTune, it should automatically recognize your device (iPhone) and show all of the data in an iTunes-style display. On the left-hand side, you'll see tabs for Music, Podcasts, etc. (JUST LIKE iTUNES) Step Three: THIS STEP IS NOT NECESSARY, but I highly recommend it to keep all of your stuff organized: Create a new folder on your desktop (title it whatever, I used "iPhone Transfers")

Step Four: In DeTune, select everything you want to transfer. DRAG AND DROP it into the folder you made on your desktop... wait for the copying to complete.

Step Five: Stare at the screen in complete awe and amazement as all of your music is now comfortably sitting on your desktop waiting to be imported into your iTunes music library!

My files were in m4a format, so you may not be able to simply drag and drop. Import them into iTunes via FILE ---> ADD TO LIBRARY, then select the files.... Don't know why you can't just drag and drop, but that works just the same.

I hope this helped! I know I was in the same boat for quite a while, and am VERY pleased with this program. I bet my post disappears within a week

Good luck and Happy New Year!!!
