How can i take the music off my ipod touch/iphone 3gs and put it on my itunes account without deleting the music

I have a Ipod touch and a Iphone 3gs with music that i want to put on my Iphone 4s. How can i put music from each one onto my itunes without itunes trying to delete it?????

You can transfer purchases from your iPhone and iPod touch to your computer and it will put all music, apps, books, and other purchases or downloads made in iTunes onto your computer. Or you can sign into the iTunes Store in iTunes on your computer and go to Purchases > Not on This Computer > Download all for each tab across the top.
If you have any music that was imported from CDs to your Dad's computer, you'll need to import those to your laptop. When you sync your iPhone, it will erase all the music on your iPhone and replace it with the music in your Music Library. If you have all of the music that's on your iPhone on your computer already (by importing CDs and transferring purchases) you won't lose anything.

  • I need to transfer content from my ipod touch to a NEW itunes account without deleting the content! help me please!!

    A friend and I shared an itunes account, as we both had ipod touches. I no longer have access to that account. I have created an account of my own but I need help tranferring the content that is on my ipod touch to my new itunes. I am scared to update my ipod or syncing it because it might delete my content. I have spent A LOT of money on apps and music from itunes, and i need help! PLEASE!!

    The photos are on the ipod.  Photo sync will erase them.  I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
    I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck.  They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed.

  • How can i take the music from my Iphone 3GS and put it in my Itunes Library

    How can I transfer my music on my phone to my Itunes library on the computer? I need to make space on my phone to update and take pictures.

    For iTunes purchased content, without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases. Music ripped on your own requires third party software, like this:

  • When I am listening to music on my iPod Touch 5th gen and it is locked I try to double click the home button to bring up the music controls, but it does not work. How can I fix this?

    So, I locked my iPod while listening to music, then pressed to home button to turn it back on, then I pressed it again twice to bring up the music controls so I could pause the song. The music controls came up, but they didn't control the song I was listening to, also the album artwork wasn't showing. How can I fix this?

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
    Cheers!

  • Hello my question is how can i get this circle off my ipod touch its not letting me go on my lock screen i try restoring it but itunes wont let my restore it

    Please answer my question, I really need my iPod Touch back.

    First try a reset:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
    If that doesn't work, try a restore again. If necessary, place the iPod in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • A friend of mine put music on my ipod from her itunes account. now i cant put my music up there from my itunes account without erasing the other songs. how can i fix this ?

    A friend of mine put music on my ipod from her itunes account. Now i can't put my music up there from my itunes account without erasing the other songs. How can i fix this?

    "A friend of mine put music on my ipod from her itunes account. "
    This is not legal.  You have no legal right to that music.
    " Now i can't put my music up there from my itunes account without erasing the other songs. "
    That is correct.
    How can i fix this?
    There is nothing to fix.  The ipod is designed to stop you from being able to steal music as you are doing.
    Erase the music you got illegally and sync your own music to your own ipod.

  • My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist. However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder

    My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist.However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder?

    Yes it's possible to sync music back from a iPod back into iTunes that (I assume) wasn't purchased on the iTunes Store.
    Apple allows iTunes Store purchases on devices to be reversed back into iTunes, just not cd rips and stuff like that. For that it's a one way trip to the device from iTunes.
    I likely can't suggest such software here, but if you visit iLounge you can ask what is the latest software that works for your platform.
    Really it only takes a mere few minutes to backup your iTunes Library and stick in a few cd/dvd's or a external drive. iTunes even has a menu command for it to make it oh so simple. Please use it and backup all your data.
    Hard drives fail, computers burn up, thieves steal, stuff gets forgotten. Plan for something happening because it will.
    Good Luck

  • How Do I Get My Music Off My Ipod Touch Cos My PC Blew Up!!

    I'm hoping someone can help me...
    My PC recently died on me so i lost all the data including my itunes library.
    Is there any way to get the music off my ipod touch? I've tried just exploring it in My Computer (Windows XP) but the ipod isn't showing up a drive...
    I've a couple of 3rd party freeware apps but they say that the ipod is not connected (but the ipod works ok itself)
    Can anyone help?

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to the iPod and iPhone. However there are a few third party utilities that are advertised as iPhone and iPod Touch compatible which can be used to retrieve the music files and playlists etc. Have a look at the web sites and help pages for these ones and see what you think or check the web for reviews:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    how do i get my music off my ipod touch and on to my new itune account with out losing my music

    Transfer the iTunes folder from your old computer to your new computer. It's in your My Music >> iTunes folder. You'll probably need an external hard drive to do this. Make sure you upgrade the old and the new computers to the latest iTunes before transferring your music to the new machines.

    In Mail 4.6 (10.6) I'm not seeing only seeing Import Mailbox, no export. But Mail can be archived
    Note: I'm not getting the Archive option with Cmd, but I do get it with a right-click.
    Archiving mailboxes
    You can archive (create a backup copy) of a mailbox so you can retrieve messages if needed.
    To archive a mailbox:
    Select one or more mailboxes to archive.
    To select mailboxes that are next to each other (contiguous) in the list, hold down Shift as you click the first and last mailbox; to select mailboxes that are not next to each other in the list, hold down Command as you click each mailbox.
    Choose Mailbox > Archive Mailbox, or choose Archive Mailbox from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) at the bottom of the sidebar.
    Choose a folder or create a new folder where you want to store the archives, and then click Choose.
    Mail archives the mailboxes as .mbox packages. If you’ve already archived a mailbox, Mail does not overwrite the existing file but appends a number to the filename to create a new version of it.
    If you need to recover messages, you can import an archived .mbox file as “Mail for Mac OS X.”
    Importing mailboxes
    If you set up Time Machine to back up files, you can use it to restore previous versions of a mailbox or a message. Time Machine deletes older backups to make room for new ones as the backup disk fills up, so older backups of Mail might be deleted.

  • My Ipod Touch is disabled and when I connect to Itunes to recover it, it states that itiTunes could not connect to the iPod touch "iPod touch" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod touch before it can recover.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    To restore from backup see:

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
