Apple doesn't provide information on how to transfer entire media library (music, movies etc...) from Iphone to itunes.

My macbook hdd failed and now I have all my media on iphone only. Have been trying to figure out how to copy everything back to Itunes.

So far I found some apps that cost around $30, but for this one time job that is not a solution. Free app or a way in itunes is what I'm looking for.

Thanks for your help in advance!

iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.1

This is not helping in my case because I've listened and purchased music before itunes came along. So lot's of it is ripped from my cds.

I do not believe that is possible for free. You would probably have to use one of the apps you found (that cost).

Solution found!

There is an app called "Imacsoft iphone to mac transfer"

It tranfers up to 100 songs each time. Just make sure you don't exceed those 100 songs, because then the app locks to 1 song each transfer.

Also full version is reasonably priced at around $18
