RE: Isn't iTunes Music Sync Bi-Directional?

2017-06-20 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
It was never possible to transfer music back from an iOS device to the computer 
via iTunes. If songs were purchased from iTunes it’s a non-issue since you can 
easily download these songs in iTunes or on other iOS device. If you turn on 
automatic downloads this happens automatically the next time you open iTunes.

Thanks, Sieghard. I suspect you're right. Seems I recollect stories of folks 
who had an iDevice containing all their music and they wanted to put it on a 
computer due to some mishap with a failed drive, etc. and they couldn't do it 
without buying special software. That fits with my experience with purchased 
songs on the iPhone.

Hi Alan,

I don't think music you purchase on your iPhone syncs to the computer, you 
would have to turn on automatic downloads for music on your computer so that 
whatever you buy on other devices connected to your Apple Id also downloads on 
your computer.
I don't use playlists a lot so can't help you there, but maybe a call to Apple 
Accessibility may give you the best amount of information regarding how this 
all works.

Sieghard

Subject: Isn't iTunes Music Sync Bi-Directional?

I'm a bit confused by my results following syncing my iPhone 7 with iTunes 
after my last two song purchases from the iTunes Store on my phone. I purchased 
the two songs on my iPhone, went into the music app, and added them to my main 
playlist that I have set up to sync in iTunes. I would think that any songs 
I've added either on my computer or on my iPhone and have added to a synced 
playlist should remain in sync between the two. However, following a sync, the 
purchased songs are no longer in the playlist on my iPhone to which I added 
them. Its' as if the initial sync following their purchase didn't transfer them 
to the playlist on my computer and subsequent syncs then removed them from the 
playlist on my iPhone.

Is it not possible for songs purchased directly on your iPhone and placed in a 
synced playlist to be transferred to that playlist on your computer following a 
sync? What about calendar events that I add directly to my iPhone? Will they be 
synced to my computer since I have contacts and calendars set to sync in iTunes?

I'm having a hard time understanding why I got the results I did with purchased 
songs and would welcome any explanations.
