Getting songs/podcasts OFF the iphone

how would one go about getting songs/podcasts off there iphone?

With your iPhone connected to your computer, launch iTunes (if not set to launch automatically when an iPod or iPhone is connected).
Select your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes drawer.
Under the Summary tab, deselect "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" and select "Only sync checked items".
Under the other tabs available, deselect the items you no longer want on the iPhone.
Under the Music tab, if you have "All songs and playlists" selected, you need to select "Selected Playlists" instead and make use of iTunes playlists. You can create unlimited Playlists or have a single Playlist named iPhone or whatever you prefer. You can add different songs from your primary music library and remove songs from this playlist that you no longer want on the iPhone and then sync.
Songs removed from the Playlist will be removed from the iPhone and any new songs added to the Playlist will be added to the iPhone.
The same applies to photos and podcasts, etc.

How do you get Voice Memos off the iPhone and onto my Mac???

Is this yet another iPhone dead end??
I used the Voice Memo app that comes with the iPhone to record some rehearsals and now I want to move them to my Mac, edit them, make CDs, share online.
I can't find any way to get them off the iPhone, unless I click the "Share" button, which means I can email them. But, it won't let me email the longer ones. I don't know how large the files are, but it just won't do it. I don't see any other facility for moving these files to my Mac. What is up with that???? iTunes provides no access to these files.
Is there some proprietary utility for the Mac that will allow me to access these files and move them to my Mac??? It would be nice if the iPhone would show up as a mounted volume which I could then browse for files, but that would make too much sense and be contrary to the control freak nature of Apple and it's iPhones/iPod Touches. I would call it another lousy user experience, but it's just a user non-experience, a complete dead end.
Is there any way to get these Voice Memo files off of the iPhone besides emailing them??

Thank you for replying!
That kb article refers to the iPod Nano and not the iPhone nor the iPod Touch.
The Synchronizing section you pointed to does not work. I have a big bunch of voice memos on the iPhone. I tried the sync. Three of them were moved to the Mac, the rest were ignored. Four others were moved to iTunes Music/Music/Unknown with numbered names (i had given several of the voice memos names with the Custom label on the iPhone). For the synch I selected "Include voice memos."
After a sync, or several syncs, none of the other voice memos were moved to the Voice Memo playlist, nor are they in the iTunes Music library.
How do you get them to sync? I need to move them off of the iPhone and onto my Mac!

How can i get my contacts off the iphone or icloud to a csv file

help i need my contacts for another phone too. can anyone help

Well there is 2 ways by backing it up to ur computer and to itunes or your icloud!

I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do i get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, they are on other iphone i have.

I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed it up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts under icloud and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do I get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, because the contacts went to another iphone i have.

I did turn the contacts back on and it didnt work. I am hoping the wi-fi connection I am on at school is not compatible, and it will work when I get home. Thanks!

Getting Albums & Large Videos off the iPhone

I tried to get help from this community to solve my problem only to end up handling it myself.
I am not without knowledge however, granted the one thing I cannot post here is the iTunes
system file code that prevents having to erase & sync the iPhone. Which I should add if you
do this (erase & sync) it would appear to only delete your music, but thats "as far as I know".
So to the gifts I bring to this place.. iPhone Explorer & why your transfers fail epicly.
Google the "iPhone Explorer" because you will need it, go ahead say you've used it an failed.
However before you dismiss my advice did you remember to....... UNDO YOUR IPHONE ENCRYPTION?!
Yes.. it would seem that using this application is DEPENDANT on wither you have encrypted your
iPhone thru iTunes. This is the only way to browse the pictures directory an copy ALL the folders
out onto your PC. I repeat, phone to pc, pics from your phone onto your PC.
What about the large videos you might ask.. WELL.. this applies to windows users ONLY.
go into the directory below, make sure to change your name where I've written "your name here"
otherwise you'll just be told the directory doesn't exist.
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME HERE\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
I will say it again, "your name here" refers to your windows user name!
Now once in this directory you'll see a folder or maybe more than 1, this depends on how many people
use your iTunes an back up their iPhones onto your pc.
Oh but wait, your going to say I never mentioned you had to backup your iPhone thru iTunes
in order for this to work, an just maybe your on someone elses pc an you've never backed up
your stuff here before an your worried it'll tell you some crap about "erasing & syncing".
Well relax.. armageddon isn't upon you yet. Still use the backup function an go to the directory
as mentioned, why? because! when you view the files by list & detail you'll be able to sort the entire
folder by file "SIZE" this should help narrow down (quite fast) which of these scribble scrabble named
files might be your "impossibru" to xfer video file(s).
If you've got issues getting smaller 5min or less video files off your iPhone this will still work but your
going to have to try to guess harder which file it might be.
Once you've located the possible file, copy it over somewhere else you won't lose it, for the sake of
all things.. DON'T mess with the original in the backup folder!! just COPY it outside.
Once you've got the file(s) outside, if you haven't turned on/off "file name extensions" so that the
.exe/.txt/.jpg an such show on all files, you'll notice the files I had you copy have no extensions!
Just rename the file to whatever you want it to be like test.mov an it should open just fine provided
you've got ALL the proper codecs for viewing video files (yes this matters an even if you think your
pc is just friggin awesome you could still be missing the right one or an updated version of the codec
you need most for this). Also you'll want a decent video viewing program to go along with the proper
codecs. For your aid I've supplied the url's of such things for you below.
Codecs: http://www.codecguide.com/download_mega.htm (Get the "mega" version, don't argue with me).
Video Viewing: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (I don't care who your pc tech is an what they said either, just use it).
You will have to reboot once you install these 2 things, it would also be advised your copy of windows
is legit an fully updated. You also might want to look into "CCleaner" if your brave enough to handle
cleaning your own pc's temp files just to be on the safe side, it's registry cleaner is verified by me
to do a decent job but hey, use it at your own risk as the cleaner isn't a required step to make this
all work.
Anyhow with this you've got your large video files & your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc albums off the iPhone finally by now.
Enjoy renaming the pics as you'll spend alot of time folder diving but hey it's worth not losing it all right??
PS: It helps to move all the pics out of all the new folders into one folder, hence the above statement.
PEACE! an to all you "hipsters" who said it couldn't be done, you KNOW what I wanna say >.>

The method you suggest is how I have been doing it, everything copies over easily except the two large files.
I wonder if there is a fix for that coming? I want the files, but it looks as if I can't delete them either, I can't move them in anyway, or open them in anything but the photo app.

I have rearranged all icons on the second and third pages to have a just a photo on my home, but if i switch off the iphone when i restarted it all the icons come back in the old position on the home and second page. I have ios5.

I have rearranged all icons on the second and third pages to have a just a photo on my home, but if i switch off the iphone when i restarted it all the icons come back in the old position on the home and second page. I have ios5.

you can suggest it here - http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
And it is only a problem if you want a blank first screen. Personally, it would drive me nuts always having to swipe over one page to get to my apps - the only time I unlock my iPhone is to use it or run an app, so no, I have no need nor desire to have a first screen with no icons at all.
But, if they'd put it in as an option so people like yourself can also have what they want, that's fine too So send them your feedback (they actually do listen - iOS 5 includes a number of things people have been asking for on these forums, like being able to delete individual entries from the call history, inproved alerts/notifications, being able to opt out of all the location based data they collect,...).

How to get photo albums off of iphone 4s with itunes

My computer has a virus so I hooked my iphone 4s to another computer with itunes. I need to get some photo albums off the iphone that I synced with the other computer but the only thing that comes up are the photo stream photos. My question is how can I get them off it is taking up space on icloud and I just don't want them anymore. please help.

Please explain to me what kind of photos end up outside the sandbox. Photos taken or saved with the phone are in the Camera Roll. Other photos on the iPhone would be synced via iTunes from the computer. Those pictures are already on the computer and can be removed from the phone via another sync. Importing the photos with import utility on the computer, like a digital camera is how to get the pictures. I'm not sure what these other photos are that you are referring to, or where they are coming from.

How can I get my photos off my iPhone 3 eventhough I don't have a sim card any longer?

I have an old iphone (pre iphone 4) and moved to Sweden. I want to get my photos off the phone, but no longer have any Sim card of any kind. Is there any kind of workflow or solution I can try to get them to my MacBook Pro? (My itunes says it can't read the phone without a sim). Any help would be much appreciated!!! Even if I could use my wi-fi to access the device? or blue-tooth??

I know the photos are on the phone, I can see all 915 of them. Itunes can now see the phone, but I'm afraid to update or sync with the phone as I believe it will delete the photos off my phone. I used to be able to get the photos off using Image capture, but Image capture no longer see my phone in the device list. That was my problem before I moved to sweden and chucked the sim. I used to mail the pictures to myself, but now that obviously doesn't work. I have image capture 6.1 and read on wikipedia there is a 6.2 but I can not for the life of me find it anywhere. Isn't there some app that should be able to transfer the photos over? I have iphoto and aperture, but they don't see the device either (using OS 10.6.8 on my macbook pro btw). These pictures are of my daughter, I just can't bear not getting my hands on them. Help!

How do I get camera photos off my iphone?

How can I get the photos that I have taken with the iPhone off onto my computer?

You get pictures taken with the iphone onto your computer just like you would with any digital camera.
Your Mac will recognize it as a camera.
Open iphoto, if it doesn't open automatically when you connect iphone, and import the pictures.

After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

After I connect my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.
switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
(Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.

My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop. I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone. Any suggestions?

You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
