Question - how do I get my music from my iPhone 4 onto the iTunes on my new macbook air?

iTunes is and never has been, simple!!! GRRR LOL

There's a knack to transfering music from an old iPhone to a new iTunes library.

First take your iPhone and make sure you have set your camera to still shots. Then you need to take as many pics as possible of your breasts and text them to the number I have just PM'd you.

The knack is to not use itunes. It borders on being the worst software known to man. Download and use the much simpler and far far better Copytrans

If all the women of this world followed your advice I wouldn't have a hard drive full of house wife soft porn

Wait for iCloud?

Actually could more to it than springs to mind.
iS your iPhone linked to another iTuns account? e.g. on an old Windoze machine? i.e. the music on your iPhone synced to this machine? If so you have several options and need tot think carefully about strategy.

The simple answer: short of music that you purchased from the iTunes Store, YOU CANNOT.

The complicated answer: You will need to jailbreak the iPhone, and install afc2add on the iPhone and download Diskaid on your MBA and use Diskaid to pull the music from the phone and import it into iTunes.

Yes u can as I've done it several times, just can't remember how...

Hit play on the iPhone, place it next to the macbook, make sure your microphone on the macbook is working, then press the record button in Garageband, this way you can add extra drums and things and make the music even better!

First, you are duty bound the next time someone says "Ooo Apple, they are so easy to use" to recount your story of woe like the ancient mariner. Its penance for trusting Jobs not to be a git.

Second, try reading:

looking at http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/ for a paid app

or particularly this: http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/ and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSIcirDjW-Q for a free mechanism

and finally, repeat after me "I will never trust apple with my content, for they are money grabbing little bastards who play dirty to screw over the dumb." Then get your music/video library out of their clutches, pronto.

Just copy across the iTunes library from your previous computer to your new one.

That's what I did.

You can't copy from the phone to computer without using an additional program.
