Copy Songs from One iPhone to Another iPhone?

I got a 16 GB iPhone 4 on release day. Since I've had it, I have put about 1,500 songs (I have about 4,500 total) on it from my iTunes library on my Macbook. I recently upgraded from the 16 GB to a 32 GB iPhone 4. My questions is: can I add the same exact songs from my old iPhone to my new one? All the songs are in my iTunes library, I just don't want to have to go through them all and select the 2,000 or so that I want to put on there. Thanks for any help!

Mac OS X (10.5.7)

There are so many ways but the simplest way to do it just a flick of your finger, here what you need to do

  1. open your i-tune on your laptop or iphone
  2. on iphone- go to settings
  3. tab click on music
  4. go to the bottom of this screen, it says "HOME SHARING"
  5. log in with your apple ID
  6. save it

Now go to the other device you want to transfer your music ( target phone or ipad)

  1. follow the same steps on this phone
  2. get out of the yoru setting
  3. go to i tune on yoru phone
  4. tab click shared, it will ask your liberary name , select it
  5. it will refresh it with in few seconds

YOU ARE ALL SET , hope you find this helpful feel free to leave yoru comments.

Thansk!

The only way to get itunes content on your new phone is by syncing or manually managing songs & videos through itunes. You can sync as many devices as you want to the same itunes account, there is no limit with a software like this: http://goo.gl/pLIoov


Unless you created playlists(smart idea), then you have no choice but to go through itunes & select the content you want on your new phone or if you have checked "Sync only checked songs & videos". From your post I'm guessing you have "manually manage music & videos" checked, correct? If so, you should be aware of the fact that there is absolutely no advantage to doing so with an iphone. Unlike disk wheel ipods, the iphone does not support disk mode. Thus, you're better off creating playlists & syncing those to your phone.

Here is my way to copy songs from iPhone to iPhone and i hope it works. Open your iTunes on your old iPhone. On iPhone, go to settings, tab click on music and then go to the bottom of this screen, it says "HOME SHARING". Log in with your apple ID and save it. Now go to the other device you want to transfer your music. Follow the same steps on this phone. Get out of the your setting and go to iTunes on your phone. Tab click shared, it will ask your library name , select it so that .it will refresh it with in few seconds

I was having this exact same problem till I figured it out. And I would recommend you a fast way to transfer music from 16GB iPhone to 32GB iPhone, you can:

1.) Download and Install TunesGo

2.) Connect iPhone to Computer, you need to tap "Trust" on both iOS devices

3.) Transfer Music from iPhone to iPhone,choose "Media" and then click "Music". click "Export to"> "Export to iPhone".

What's more,you can use AirDrop to copy songs from iPhone to iPhone, too.Check the detail below.
