As we know, we can transfer music from iPhone to a computer for free using iTunes. But you would only be able to transfer purchased songs from iPhone to the computer. Learn how to transfer music from iPhone to PC by following these steps:
- Step 1. Make sure you've got the latest version of iTunes installed on the computer. iTunes 12.5.1 or later is required for importing photos this way.
- Step 2. Once the preparation work is ready, connect your Lightning-to-USB cable to the PC. You may need to unlock the phone and verify "Trust This Computer" when prompted.
- Step 3. Open iTunes and go to its File menu and click on the option of "Transfer purchases from the iPhone". Since the purchased files are encrypted, sometimes iTunes might ask you to authorize your computer to play them. To do this, go to the Accounts > Authorization and choose to Authorize the computer.
