You cannot copy music from an iPhone to a computer, you can only copy music from a computer to an iPhone. If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store you can just download it again on your computer using iTunes. If it was from other sources (ripped CDs, MP3s, etc) you will have to recover it from the original source or from a backup of your computer (such as a Mac Time Machine backup). The iPhone is not a backup device. The one exception is if you have a paid subscription to iTunes Match, which stores your non-iTunes music on Apple’s servers, you can download it to iTunes on your computer.
