When my dad passed away last year we put his iphone in a drawer for safe keeping, because his music was very important to him and obviously we didn’t want to lose.
The phone is getting difficult to hold a charge now and I am wondering if there is a way to put its music in my iPhone? I bought a 64GB iPhone to have enough space to fit it, but now I understand it’s not as easy as I thought before.
- Alternative to iTunes?
- Can I copy files between two different iTunes libraries within iTunes?
- Can I use 2 iPads at the same time for synchronous music creation? What happens with the same application?
- Completely delete all cloud music from iPhone
- Change the sound level when using iPhone docked earphones
Is there a way to do this or do I just have to hope that the battery is never completely empty on his phone?

There is no “official” way to recall music from any iDevice to a computer, but there are many unofficial applications that can do that. The basic idea is to download the music from the iDevice & into iTunes, from where you can then keep it or re-sync it to your device. I don’t know to do it directly from phone to phone, you must have a computer as an intermediary. Googling “copy music from iPhone to computer” will give you more variations on applications than you would know what to do – and even I don’t know what computer platform you have, so you’re linking to a LifeHacker article explaining how to do it on Windows, Mac and Linux.
