How to transfer music/apps from iphone to itunes?
My previous laptop broke and i lost everything, and in desperation of not having to buy all my songs again, is there a way to transfer what's on my phone to itunes? And please don't tell me i should have backed it up because i know that
Based from what I did with my friends and what I found on the net… (actually what we did was trial and error. We tried stuff, then checked if it works. If it didn't we'd try something else. It took a while though.)
1 - authorize your computer. It's under the STORE tab/menu (you'll need your apple Id for this)
2 - (if your device isn't connected yet, connect it now.) I'm assuming that your phone is synced with your previous laptop, so itunes will ask something about 'erasing and syncing' and 'transferring purchases'. Click on 'Transfer purchases'.
**If there's no prompt or something like that, go under the FILE menu, then under DEVICES, choose 'transfer purchases'
[actually I'm checking on itunes now, just to make sure.haha]
And… I think it's done!
Additional stuff:
I once transferred songs from my pc >> phone, and used this program called iTools. Just in case the steps on top don't work, try it. There are lots of guides on doing it on youtube. Give 'em a shot and good luck!
- Transfer paid apps FROM iTunes to iPhone on mac? I have some paid apps on my mac which I would like to transfer to my iPhone. But every time I sync the phone it says so-and-so app can't be synced. Free apps can be transferred without any problems, but its the paid apps which I want on my phone. If there's a software, please name it As soon as possible.
