How to transfer music from iPhone, iPad, iPod to Mac or Windows PC

It is likely that you have accidentally lost your music collection on your PC or your PC has been lost or

damaged.In this case, the only place where all the music remains is the iPhone, iPad or iPod. But since iOS is a closed system, there's no way to simply share tracks from your music gallery. Or, in the case of someone's Mac, you won't be able to sync using iTunes either.

But don't worry, there is an easy way to transfer all your music to Mac. Everything you need – is to download a third-party application and spend a few minutes.

The note: When you connect your iOS device to a Mac or PC with which it was not previously synchronized, an iTunes window will pop up asking if you want to synchronize the device with this particular Mac. Do not do this. Otherwise, all information from your device will be erased. Also bear in mind that this will only work for music that you manually transferred to your iPhone earlier, with the exception of those tracks that were downloaded from Apple Music.
