Iphone/iTunes Question

[Banded Drake Calls]

I recently bought a new laptop and downloaded iTunes on it. Before I used my computer at home to download music then sync it on to my phone. I want to take all the music that I have on that computer, which is also on my Iphone, and put it on my laptop. Can this be done with my Iphone? I've connected it and tried to go into the files on my phone, but all it will let me in to is the pictures.

WheN your phone is plugged in, you Should be able to just drag the music library on your phone and drop it into the iTunes library

I "think" that if it's with the same iTunes account, you can transfer the music with your phone like avidhunter described.

DO NOT delete your iTunes or your music off of your "old" computer until it gets transferred and you restart your "new" computer and your phone. Some have tried to do this and it wiped out the music on the phone completely. With the music still on the "old" computer, it can be easily transferred back to the phone again.

get a large external hard drive. back up everything from your old computer onto the hard drive and use it to transfer to new computer. if anything ever happens to either computer you still have your info saved on the hard drive.

You could also enable Home sharing in ITunes on both computers and then just copy music from desktop to laptop from one library to the other. Then in iTunes in preferences, under store, turn on automatic downloads for music so when you buy music on any of your devices it will automatically download to the other devices. (PC, Laptop and iPhone).
