    they do this so you cant go to someone's computer and download their music to your iphone then take your iphone, plug it into your computer, and put the music up there. They don't want anyone getting free music. If I bought a son by Gorillaz that you didn't have and didn't want to buy, you would be able to sync with my computer, take the song, and put it on your computer for free although there are third party programs that allow you to transfer from your device to your computer. just google it.As far as purchased music, you bought it with your account so naturally it would transfer to your computer that has your account on it.

    You can follow the following guide:

    Pop into iTunes and choose File –> New Playlist. Now rename it to something logical: I use "iPhone Sync":

    Now you can just drag and drop music from your iTunes library (in iTunes, needless to say) into this new playlist. When you're ready, you'll see a bunch of music happily ensconced in the playlist.

    Cool. Now click on the "Music" tab and you'll see that you can select "sync playlist". Do that, then select the new iPhone sync playlist you've created.

    Set things up just as I have shown and that's all there is to it. Now click "Sync" in iTunes and it'll synchronize your playlist with the iPhone music library and next time you click on that ole' "iPod" button on the iPhone, your selections from you music library will be present.
