iTunes and Transferring Music (hard drive, how to, work, Mac) - Computers -PCs, laptops, hardware, software - City-Data Forum

I bought an iPhone 3G back in 2009. I synched my phone with my old computer. I then broke my old computer and bought a new one. Now, iTunes allows me to transfer only the music I purchased on my iPhone from the phone to my new computer. It does not work the other way around, so if I buy a song using iTunes on my PC, it won't upload to my phone. And my phone won't sync with my new computer, so all of the non-iTunes purchased songs on my iPhone--that I uploaded using my old computer--won't transfer over to my new computer. How do I get around this???

Make sure you authorize iTunes to your new computer.

I tried this and it didn't work. The music is all in my iTunes now, but it won't upload back onto my iPhone. Help.

Another itunes, ipod, music hassle. Should of got a plain mp3 player which just connects to anything and doesn't present al sorts of music transfer problems. A plain old mp3 player works as a mass storage device (another hard drive) and files, music or otherwise, are simply dragged and dropped with no questions asked. On top of that they play .wmv too. I just don't see why people buy ipods.

Never mind. I got it to work. iTunes keeps changing so much much and I didn't understand how to use the latest version.

Because for most people, they are very simple to use.

I find transferring music to my Sandisk MP3 player or my phone a bit more of a task. Easy enough to do, but not as intuitive.

Ironically (or not) I love the Mog music streaming app on my iphone, it gets rid off all of that itunes hassle that I just can't stand.
