This solution also works to Synchronize iPhone and iPad, two iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone, etc
As seen in a previous post, there's no problem Syncing several iPhones to a single Computer / iTunes
The problem starts when you try to Transfer Music from one iPhone to another
This would be easy if we could just Copy Songs from an iPhone to iTunes and then Synchronize another iPhone with iTunes
But, as explained in our Sync iPhone to iTunes tutorial, iPhone to iTunes transfers are not possible using iTunes
The solution:
First Import Music from iPhone to iTunes with a dedicated software
Then, Synchronize a second iPhone with iTunes, which, at the end equals to Transferring Songs from one iPhone to another
Just follow these steps
- Copy Music from the first iPhone to iTunes
- Then, just Sync the second iPhone with iTunes
Notes & possible issues
- This solution transfers all personal settings between two iPhones: playlists, ratings and so on ( see complete list )
So, that's a very safe way to fully Synchronize two iPhones

Hi. im trying to transfer my music from my old iphone to my new one that i just got today and it doesnt seem to be working on my itunes. How can i transfer without using itunes ?
Dear Toni,
It’s gonna be nearly impossible to Transfer data from one iPhone to another without iTunes
What you can do is to Transfer data from your old iPhone to your computer
Then, Put these data onto your new iPhone without iTunes
I don’t get it. If you use an ipad2 as your prime media device (no laptop/ibook etc) and you want to sync the, say music, videos etc onto your iphone (3) because that’s the one in your pocket – you can’t do it? You have to have iTunes resident on a computer and sync both independently off that?
Dear Tim,
That’s correct
In the Apple / iTunes ecosystem your iPad is just a larger iPhone, not a computer
It’s a peripheral that synchronizes with a computer / iTunes

Dear Jess,
Right-click on your iPhone in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases
I purchased an iphone 5 and am trying to get all my songs from my iphone 4 moved over… only those that were purchased on my ipad have synced…. I know I’m doing something wrong, but I have no idea what? Also, I moved all my music from my iphone 4 to the iCloud.
I have two iPhone 5’s. a 64GB and 16GB with 33GB’s worth on music on the larger one and my PC. I connect my 16GB to iTunes and it warns it will replace all music with my current iTunes music. Will I be given the opportunity to say what to transfer? It won’t all fit so I hope it doesn’t try and just stop loading when 1/2 of the music is transferred.
I have lots of songs on my iPad and iPhone, my husband would like to get those same songs onto his iPhone how do we do this? Isn’t there some way of connecting us both to iCloud so he gets everything I have on my iPhone and IPad?
How do I UN-sync my phone from my husbands so we can stop deleting each others contacts? This is very annoying since I didn’t know we synced them
