Match is also helpful. iTunes Match requires
users to have iTunes 10.5.1 or later, iOS 5.0 or
later, and it also only supports iPhone 3GS or

window, then you will see iTunes Match at the
upper right side. Click Subscribe for 24.99 per

the songs which arent saved in the cloud. Now

Store on their iPhone, and tap iTunes Match to
ON. Now iTunes Match will upload all your songs
to the cloud, and each song will have a cloud
icon attached. Now you can download the songs
from the cloud to your computer, and save the
songs in iTunes library for offline listening.

Solution 3. Copy Playlists from iPhone to iTunes
Accidentally delete the playlists in your iTunes
library? Dont worry, if you still have the
playlists in your iPhone, you are able to copy
playlist from iPhone to iTunes library with
several simple steps. The following guidance will
show you how to do that 1. Shut down auto sync

checking Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from
syncing automatically. 2. Connect iPhone to
computer with USB cable, and click the iPhone
icon in the left sidebar after iTunes recognized
your iPhone. 3. Find the playlist you want to
transfer and right-click it, then choose

switching to a new computer, you can move iPhone
music to external hard drive for a backup. Of
course, you are able to copy the whole iTunes
library to the external hard drive. As mentioned,
you are able to find your iTunes folder on your
computer, and now you only need to hit Ctrl C
to copy the iTunes library, and then Ctrl V to
paste the library to target folder in External
hard drive. This method will be helpful when you
want to restore your iTunes library on your new
computer, and you only need to hold Shift key
and open iTunes, then iTunes will ask you to
choose a library. With this method, you are able
to backup iPhone music easily and make them safe.
