Transferring iTunes between devices

I reloaded iTunes from the Apple.com site and have the next to newest software on my iPhone.

I finally am able to 'see' iTunes on my laptop but when I try to download the tunes from my iPhone, they are not highlighted.

iPhone 4S, iOS 8.1.1, HP Pavilion laptop

Hello there, clarencetoo.


It sounds like you're trying to get your content transferred from your iPhone to your iTunes Library on your computer. The following Knowledge Base article offers up how to do just that:


Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support


Transfer your purchases to your computer

Before you transfer your purchases, make sure that your computer is authorized with the same Apple IDaccount you used to make the purchases. Learn how to authorize your computer using iTunes.

If you bought the iTunes Store content on your device using multiple Apple ID accounts, you'll need to authorize the computer for each one.

To transfer purchases from your device to a computer:

  1. Connect your device to the computer. Wait for its icon to appear in iTunes.
    User uploaded file
  2. Go to File > Devices. If you're using iTunes for Windows and can't see the menu bar, learn how to turn on iTunes menus in Windows.
  3. Choose Transfer Purchases from [device name].

​​This feature works only for content bought from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or received from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, all podcasts from your device's Podcasts app and copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer. Learn how to transfer media to your iTunes library.


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Cheers,

Pedro.
