How to transfer music from iPhone 4s onto Macbook Pro?

I have had my iphone for a while and put songs onto it from another laptop with a different itunes library but now, I switched laptops and the old one is broken, and got a new macbook pro. If I try and sync my device with the new itunes library it will delete everything on my phone to the itunes library. How do I keep my music and just transfer things from my iphone onto my macbook? I've tried file > devices > transfer purchases but for some reason it doesn't work and my library remains empty. Why won't apple come up with a solution on how to do this instead of making new iphones every year?

Do not use itunes! All you have to do is to download itools. That app is much better than itunes. All you have to do is to click browse on app with your music and copy paste music to some folder on your mac.

  • Transfer apps from iPhone to Macbook Pro? Is there a way to transfer apps from my iPhone 5 to my Macbook Pro? So I will not have to repurchase them? (e.g. I have Pages on iPhone but not Mac, would I be able to download it again for free?) Thanks in advance Also, when I go into the Mac App Store, Pages is still available only for the paid price? I assumed it would just say "Download" or something. I mean the Mac equivalent of the iPhone apps, but just wondering if I can get them free?

  • IPhone 4 to Macbook Pro music transfer? I have an iPhone 4, and I just recently received my Macbook Pro with Retina Display. Because my old laptop is too dysfunctional, and freezes every time I try to do a music transfer from that laptop, I have to find other means of music transfer. I'm looking for a FREE program that I can download that will transfer my music (and movies, audiobooks, etc) from my iPhone 4 to my new Macbook. So far, every program I have tried doesn't register that my iPhone is even connected.
