Can I use iTunes Match to transfer music from an iPhone4 to a new iPhone5s? I'm traveling without my laptop!
- Music was purchased outside of iTunes store
- On a vacation
- iPhone 4 has all my music
- No access to iTunes
- Want to buy a new iPhone 5s on vacation but this is holding me back
Just wait until you get back home... it's not that big of a deal.
While it would work, paying for iTunes Match just to move media from one device to another seems silly when one could simply wait a few days.
Might not work either. I don't use iTunes Match, but I think it needs to start by scanning an iTunes library on a computer, not a device.

Re: Simply wait a few days
I'm going to be away from home for 3 months or more. My main PC is in storage, actually. ^_^ I'm also willing to pay to fix this problem.
You indicated that "it would work". Is this a fact? My iPhone 4 will upload its contents to my iPhone 5s without the use of a computer with iTunes?
Honestly, I've never used iTunes Match.
Keep in mind that iTunes Match is only for music, any other media content would not be affected.
Also, pictures synced to the device from a computer will not be moved over unless the new device is restored from a backup on that computer.
Personaly, unless the current iPhone was damaged or otherwise acting as if on it's last leg, I'd wait. There may be better options in 3 months.
