How do I sync all of my music from my phone to itunes? I can sync the purchased music but none of the music i had from CDs. All of the music was on my itunes and now it is gone, but it is all on my phone.
iPhone 4S, iOS 8.0.2
Hi CheyenneS123,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! Due to copyright laws and licensing agreements, you cannot transfer media imported from a CD or other source back to your computer:

Music imported from a CD or other source
- iTunes can't transfer this media back to your computer.
If the content was previously on your computer you can learn about finding missing media:

The iPhone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer. The sync is one way - computer to iPhone. The exception is iTunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
