Your unhidden purchases should show up automatically in any library signed into the same Apple ID.


If you do need to reclaim media from the iPhone see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - Apple Community. The easiest method may be a temporary subscription to the Apple Music service, merging the music on the device into an iCloud Music Library which you then download to a computer and backup for security.

Hi Kernsie ,

I don't know why I couldn't copy & paste this , nevertheless , in Apple Support , try : " Transfer Music from iOS Device " :


🆕 connect iPhone to MacBook > if it's the first time you're connecting this device > Finder > device ( in sidebar) > trust .


If not , select your device in the sidebar > music > sync opens Finder .


📅 Back in time , iTunes songs purchased in the iTunes Store were automatically synced to all of your devices ( $25.00) extra to sync songs from your own CD's ) .

Though that is not the case anymore … if you're not referring to the Music Subscription , you should be able to copy them to your Mac by connecting your iPhone with a USB cable to your MacBook .


💻 You mentioned that your iPhone is too new for your Mac , correct ? I believe that wouldn't be the problem . … … try the above advice & read the article below …

if it doesn't work out , reply and we'll continue to find a solution for you .
