How can i sync podcasts from iphone to itunes?

Here's my situation:
I have an iPhone 5c that I have always synced with iTunes on a laptop that belonged to my workplace. But I have left that job now, and with it, I have left the laptop. I now want to sync that same iPhone 5c on my iMac at home. This iMac has an iTunes that has NO podcasts on it ...
But when I prepare to sync the phone in iTunes and I click the podcasts tab and check the "Sync Podcasts" checkbox, it asks if I want to delete all the podcasts on the iPhone. I definitely *don't* want to do this ... I want those podcasts on the iPhone to be part of my backup on the computer. Many of these podcasts are older and no longer available for download from their original sources.
Is there any way that I can achieve this? It's not like I paid for any of these podcasts -- it's all free content, so I'm not breaking any copyright issues here.
Thanks for any help....

    seeing iTunes deleted my iPod, how can I transfer music from iPhone to iTunes?

    any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

  • How do I sync music from iphone to itunes?

    I lost all titles from itunes when I upgraded to the new itunes. Apple allowed me to download them again (thanks Apple). However, there is music on my phone from CDs uploaded prior to the loss of the titles. They exist on my phone but not in the pc. How do I sync music from the phone to the pc?  I miss the drag/drop method!

    You would have to use 3rd party programs. Try youtube, they would give you tutorials and the name of the program. There was one program I used but it deleted after I got all my music out my iphone.

    You can transfer purchases by following the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2566
    Anything that was not purchased from the iTunes Store would require third-party software to transfer over.

  • Crashed Hard Drive, how can I sync music from Iphone to new one?

    I understand that the iPhone is intended only to sync with only one computer and for that reason it won't allow me to transfer my music from my iPhone to another computer. Problem is my old hard drive died (along with all my music inside).
    How can I transfer the files that are on my iPhone to the iTunes on my new hard drive? I do not have any other back ups as I assumed the iPhone would serve as a back up device itself.

    I assumed the iPhone would serve as a back up device itself.
    That was a pretty bad assumption. The iTunes content sync is one way: Computer to phone. Apple makes no provision to get content off your phone and into your iTunes library, as it's expected that you backup that library, and no, the iPhone is not a backup device, not designed as such and never intended to be such.
    For purchased music from the iTunes store, you can File>Transfer Purchases, before syncing and after you've authorized your computer Store>Authorize this Computer. Music ripped on your own or photos synced to your phone will have to be extracted using third-party software before you do anything else:

  • How can i sync my updated iphone with itunes 10.6

    I updated my iphone to iOS 6.0 and now it will not allow myiPhone to sync to my itunes 10.6, which is the updated version of iTunes that my mac lap top accomidates. How can I get to sync my iphone to my lap top???

    Doublechecking. Do you currently have iTunes 10.6.3.25 installed?
    A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:

  • How do I sync voicememo from IPhone to itune?

    It works the first time..but I don't know what I did wrong. I was deleting something because it kept transfering the old voicememo from itune to my IPhone. Now it doesn't sync any voicememos recorded on my IPhone or even the old ones I have to Itune. I already clicked "include voice memo", and it shows in playlist, but it doesn't show anything on voicemmo page. It doesn't show "voice memo" as playlist on music page either.
    I would like to sync only the new voicememo recorded in my IPhone to Itune. Thanks

    I know exactly what you're going through. I may win the prize for having the most number of photos on my iPhone (2,397) that couldn't get downloaded. I have never been able to export photos from my iPhone to any of my Macs using iPhoto or Image Capture. (And yes, all OS and apps are the latest revisions). Nor have any of the popular apps like Picasa2, Adobe Photoshop Elements, or Windows native Camera & Scanner Wizard been able to do it on my Windows machines. BUT, the only 3rd party app that I had any success with was the Tansee iPhone Transfer Photo program. It downloaded 884 photos from my iPhone before that app stopped working, for some reason. It cost $20USD and works on Windows only. You may have better luck than I downloading all your photos.

  • How can I restore music from iPhone to iTunes Library?

    iTunes deleted music (the proverbial !) in my iTunes library, however the music (I want it in the library) still plays on my iPhone. I have repeatedly trying synching the iPhone (the music is still playing ok on the 3GS) but whenever I click on the song in iTunes library, I get the ! and "cannot locate song". How do I get the music on my iPhone back onto the iTunes Library? I tried synching iPhone but still ! in iTunes. This just happened the other day when I opened iTunes.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    If you have back up your music, you can restore from the backup.
    To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
    Right-click (or Control-click) the device and choose Restore from Backup
    If you have a new phone, you can connect to iTunes and it will prompt to restore from your backup

    If you have no backup for your data on iPhone, iPhone data recovery software is your last shot! I used Wondershare iOS Data Recovery and it worked well, there are also other options available.

  • How can I sync my new iPhone to iTunes without a computer.

    I need to get my music on phone but it only shows in iTunes not in the music player. How do I do that without computer

    Did you purchase the music from the iTunes store?  If so, you can download it again for free as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.  If the music was from other sources (ripped CDs, etc.) you have to sync your phone with iTunes on a computer to transfer it to your phone.

  • How can I get songs from iPhone into iTunes

    okay so on my old computer (and on my iphone now) i had/have around 1000 songs in my itunes from various websites, around half of these are free downloads of independant artists and things like that, so not purchased in itunes. the other half i did purchase. my old computer broke, so i can't get to any of the non purchased songs, besides from my phone. i transferred all my purchases into my new computers itunes so around 450 of my songs i can access, but the rest are only on my phone. itunes keeps prompting me to erase and sync but that would get rid of all the non purchased songs on my phone so they would basically be lost forever, right? i know they want me to do that to protect against illegal downloads and things like that but this stuff isn't downloaded illegally! is there anything i can do to get my music on this computer or am i basically screwed? also i've tried downloading a few free tracks from various websites (again, legally)... they are showing up in my itunes library but every time i try to drag them onto my phone it doesn't work. my computer is authorized and i've tried everyhting else i can think of... can anyone help? i have windows 8 and my itunes and iOS are both updated fully, if that makes any difference. thanks!

    The iphone//ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    There is no free, or Apple supported,  way to extract any other music.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
    Iphone sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with the content of the new computer.

    Hello Carpathianna,
    No judgment here on the music you listen to, I have that song too in my library. If iTunes is telling you that the song is missing and you purchased it from the iTunes Store, then just delete it from your iTunes library and then download your song again. Check out the articles below for more information.

  • HT1296 how do i sync contacts from iphone to itunes

    Attempting to reset iphone, I need to save contacts to itunes account

    You do not save them to iTunes. They are either saved as part of the backup, or they are synced to a supported application on the computer or to iCloud. Also, a reset on the phone will not affect data. You would not need to worry about saving anything, unless you are doing a restore, which will delete content from the phone.
