I want to transfer my iPhone music to new computer on Mac. I dont know whether iTunes can transfer music from iPhone or not?(some songs didn't buy via iTunes.) If not, how can i do it? Can you nice guys give a efficient way or easy guide to work out this puzzle?
Thanks so much.

Connect it and try. iTunes should be able to import from iPhone.

thats not right

itunes only allows to sync music with one computer. if you connect your iphone to itunes on a different computer and try to sync the music, you will get a warning that you can only sync with one computer and that all music on the iphone will be wiped if you try to sync with this new computer.

Apple have KB's and tutorials regarding transferring itunes music from one pc to another. its quite a simple process.

If it's only a few tracks, you can bluetooth them. Import them to iTunes later.

you could, if the iphone had the file transfer bluetooth protocol, which it doesn't

there is a jailbroken app that can potentially do this, but it doesn't work on the latest iOS as far as I know.

no.

I've already posted how easy it is to do using Apples knowledgebase articles or tutorial. I've done it my self several times as I move each year to a new laptop.
