Post by: GolfDan on 31 December 2011, 09:19

I got meself a Macbook in December and want to put all my music from my iPhone on it, can I use software like I have done in the past on a Windows PC or is there a trick way of doing it for a Mac?

Ha, how daft of me I didn't think about that, being in work for 6am this morning has left me a little confuddled.

you can't transfer music from the phone to the computer because if that's the case we could all go around sharing our music collections with each other for free  :rolleyes:

you would need third party software.

Apple, always doing things arse about face :rolleyes:

If you have your old PC/Laptop you can do this to preserve your library:

heres a hint...back up the intunes library on an external drive...then you can move the music around the house to the different machines or even a friends...also isn't as limiting as machine harddrive in terms of space... plenty of reasonable 1.5TB drives out there now  :rolleyes:
