Hello Jus777,
Yes, thanks. As you can see from the help article, this is a one way transfer. There is no Apple Supported option to transfer music from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch device to a Mac.
There may be third-party options.
If this is purchased music, just redownload it to your computer: Redownload music - Apple Support
Thanks.
Unfortunately that is just standard syncing of Mac to iDevice (iphone / iPad / iPod etc). This deletes any info on the iDevice. This is how I lost my playlists on my iPhone when syncing with new MacBook Pro. Thankfully I have not synced my iPad to the Mac & so still have playlists in tact in the iPad.
What I need to do is sync iPad to Mac (opposite direction to above - sending playlists from iDevice to the Mac).
FWIW a temporary subscription to Apple Music is a potential Apple solution to this issue, with the provisos that it only covers music, and may include the occasional mismatch, e.g. clean vs. explicit etc. You can subscribe on an iOS device, matching or uploading the music content on the device into the user's iCloud Music Library, which can then be downloaded to a Mac or PC.
