This How.com.vn teaches you how to sync purchased music from your old iPhone to a new iPhone using iTunes or iCloud.
Steps
Using iTunes
Open iTunes on your computer. If you’re using a Mac, you’ll find it in the Applications folder and the Launchpad. If you have Windows, click the Start menu, select All Apps, then click iTunes.- If you have not already synced the music on your old iPhone with iTunes, do that before you continue.
Make sure iTunes is authorized. This is the only way you’ll be able to use iTunes to transfer purchased music from your iPhone to the computer. Here’s how to do it:- Click the Account menu.
- Click Authorizations.
- Click Authorize this computer.
- Sign in with your Apple ID.
- Click Authorize when prompted.
Connect the new iPhone to the computer. Use the cable that came with the iPhone or one that’s compatible.
Click the File menu. It’s at the top-left corner of the screen.
Click Devices. It’s toward the center of the menu.
Click Transfer Purchases from “iPhone".
Click the iPhone icon. It’s near the top-left corner of iTunes, below the menu.
Click Music. It’s in the left column under the “Settings” header.
Check the box next to “Sync Music.” It’s at the top of the right panel. A pop-up will appear, letting you know that any saved music on your iPhone will be replaced with the music in iTunes.
Click Remove and sync. The music in your iTunes library will now sync to your new iPhone.Advertisement
