How to transfer/ copy iphone music to itunes ?

Hi,

Your reply certainly helped me, thank you.

As an academic with years of experience in developing and working with electronics and computing systems, doing a simple thing like this should be easy.

The problem is that driving a good application is easy if you do it every day, or if you have followed exactly the prescribed route with the right devices, with the correct and updated software, in the right order, and with the appropriate mental focus to arrive at the point where the situation arises.

Reality however can be a bit more messy.

Thanks again.

I want to thank you for your excellent post, and kudos to you! It provided me with the exact help I needed. I have been working with non-Apple devices for about 25 years. When I first started using iTunes, it seemed to be much easier and intuitive; the updates in the past year and half have been frustrating to work with; they ARE NOT intuitive at all, and that warning message threw me off, too. Had you not written your post, I'd still be searching trying to find an answer to something that should be so simple. I work with users on a daily basis and I hope I never, ever give them a response like you received here. No wonder people are afraid to ask questions!

Just plug it in to your computer. It will recognize it as a different device and you will be able to set what does and does not sync to it. I have an iphone5, iphone4 that I am now using as an iPod, and an iPad2 all syncing to the same computer with the same apple id. iTunes will give them different names, to help you keep them straight.

There is also solution about how to transfer music from iPhone to iTunes, that will work for a lot more than music well.

Good Luck!

I follow the guide above and I now have my iTunes music on my iPhone. Thx.

Yeah... Just as mentioned above, you can do that with iTunes. It's easy to be done. Launch iTunes on your computer and plug into your iPhone to the PC. Click the "File" button and choose to add files or folder from your PC to iTunes library. Click the "Music" icon to sync the audio files. Check the "Sync Music" icon to decide to sync "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres". If you want to copy the entire music library, check that option and it is done by clicking "Apply". So that you can transfer music from iTunes to iPhone.

I just figured this out! It was driving me nuts.

Connect your iPhone to your Mac.

Open iTunes on your Mac.

On top left are little icons for music, film, tv, and your iPhone.

Click on the iPhone icon.

New mini screen pops up.

On the left hand side menu, click on music.

New mini screen pops up to the right - it says "Sync" at the top.

Click on the radio button that says "Entire music library".

You're done - you'll see that beautiful sight of all your music loading on to your iPhone.

I've tried just about everything on here and nothing is working for me. And I'm worried that updating my itunes will delete my music that hasn't been purchased through itunes, which a lot of my music is because it's music that can't be purchased through itunes.

Read the manual. Syncing music is a very basic function of the device:

Follow this link- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519. Basically, you need to go into iTunes on your phone, select "more", then select "purchased." Your media should be there. Piece of cake!

Yes... that is my advice. for doing something as basic as transferring music from the computer to your device, why would you not look there first? Why would not even at least browse it when first using your phone?

The only manual my iPhone came with (which was bought brand new btw) was how to basically turn the phone on and manage the simple applications. It actually had NO information on iTunes, therefore I googled this same question, which led me here. So before you give an answer that doesn't help whatsoever, maybe you should just keep your unnecessary comments to yourself.

Thanks.

Thanks for the compliments!!!

The user guide is a default bookmark in the Safari app and can be easily downloaded from: http://support.apple.com/manuals/

Have a great day!!!!

Your answer to him was actually incorrect.. Yes, there is a user's manual, but the difference in HOW music is transferred in the new iTunes is enough to throw anyone off.. Its not immediately clear that your personal music cannot just dragged 'list by list' onto the phone.. The fact that you HAVE to sync (checked songs), makes a huge difference.. A lot of us like to manage our collections list by list, whenever we like.. Not just when its time to 'sync'.. You should have used more tact before offering such a harsh answer.. An answer that wasn't helpful at all, and more demeaning than anything...

Go to iTunes> Purchased to view purchased iTunes music on your iPhone.

Plug in your Phone into PC/Mac and start up iTunes, then select Music, check the songs you want, click Sync.
