HD died... anyway to move apps and songs from Iphone back into my itunes?

Hi All, as the title states, my HD died and was replaced, no data could be retrieved. I had a recent work back up, but my personal files (pics, garage band recordings and Itunes files) were last backed up in Dec 08, I know... back up more often.
Anyway.. when i installed the new drive/itunes.. it didn't move any files into itunes and i am afraid to switch it to manual fearing i will lose my songs/playlists and apps forever.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
Purchased applications can also be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

Hard disk failure, replaced; how to get songs from iPod back into iTunes

Hard disk failure, replaced with new hard drive etc;
How do I get all songs from iPod back into iTunes?
(mix of CD sourced and iTunes shop sourced)

I can't believe there's no answer to this. Apple wants to charge customers for support but this has got to be happening thousands of times a day what with Windows OS reinstalls being what they are-numerous! Please let me know if/when you get a reply, thx!

Im trying to update my Iphone OS but it says: " you have purchases that have not been transfered to your itunes library". I dont want to lose anything I've purchased, I dont want to cross reference every app and song to see if its in itunes or not. help

II have an iPhone 4. I want to update my iPhone operating system but when I do, it says I have purchases that haven't been transfered to my iTunes library. I sync my phone everytime I plug it in (automatically), so I'm not sure why I'm getting the message. I have updated opertating systems before and lost everything, photos, contacts, music, aps, etc so I've been hesitant to do it this time, but my phone is just too slow and aps keep crashing etc.
Short of going through and manually verifying every app and song ive purchased, how can I figure out what is missing from my library, and begin this update?
Thx
Jon

thanks, but the device displays on the top right of the latest version of itunes, and i doesn't allow a right click. You can open it and access the info inside but theres no option to "transfer items" anywhere :-s

How can i put songs from my ipod into my itunes library?

I want to sort out all mu music on my ipod and start fresh, but i want to keep all my music. Is there a way of putting music from my ipod into my iTunes library? I understand that if there is music on my ipod then i mustve put it on there from the library but i dont think i did! It's just not there! all i need to do is transfer it from my ipod to my itunes library Pls help. Ta.

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
With your iPod connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPod.
If you had Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading a song from the iTunes store direct with your iPod, the song would be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPod with iTunes after doing so.
Manually managing music and videos is manual all the way.

My hard drive crashed - can I transfer songs from iPod back into iTunes?

My computer's hardrive crashed and I had to replace the entire hardrive. (Grrrrrr!) I lost the folder that contained all of my music. I re-downloaded iTunes onto my computer with the new hard drive but now my library is empty. All my songs are still in my iPod...
Is it possible to do a "reverse" transfer. In other words, put the songs from my iPod back into my iTunes. If so - HOW?
I'm afraid to hook up my iPod to my computer because I don't want the automatic upgrade to start and then my iPod will be empty too.
Please send help!

As iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. When you connect you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it.
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are quite cheap these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

My sisters ipod touch was being registered to my itunes account and then itunes crashed at the final stage and now it wont give me an option to sync my apps and songs from my itunes to her ipod. What can i do?

I have an iphone and it is obviously registered to my itunes so i have all my apps and music on it and my sister just got the new ipod touch and wants my apps and music and so i went to register it to my itunes to sync my music and apps to it just before her birthday but itunes crashed on one of the stages (the final stage i think) of registartion and so i had to close itunes and start it up again but it didnt give me the steps to register the ipod again and now when i connect it i go onto the ipod button and it is just blank with ipod written in the middle with no autofill buttons or sync buttons or any automatic fills and i cant drag music onto it either. Is there anything i can do?

- You need to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and start anew. Is the restore button visable in iTunes? If it is they restore the iPod.
- If it is not visible try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If the restore button is still not visable, try placing the iPod in recovry mode. See:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

How do I get my apps and pics from iPhone to iPad?

How do I sync my photos and music from my I phone to my iPad? I have sync'd on iTunes but can't figure out how to get iTunes to recognize what I have purchased already.

Here is a possible solution: When you sync your iPad, highlight your iPad in the left column of itunes and you should see a set of tabs for your iPad. Check the tabs for apps, music, and photos and make sure the items you want on the iPad are set to sync. When you have them set, click the "apply" button in the lower right corner of itunes.

How do I go back into my registry and change a number for loading apps and websites from 20 back to ten?

I tried something suggested from a friend who said to go to a spot in my registry and change a number from 10 to 20, and this would help apps to load better, giving them more time. But now nothing will load because there is to much time taken. I need to find that segment of the registry and change the number back. When I went there, a little box popped up and said, "I will be careful I promise. "

I did the resetting preferences, still no help, still cannot play flash games on facebook like Indiana Jones, Cityville, and Pioneerville. I wish I could go back and change that number I changed from 20 back to 10. I would be playing right now.

In order to transfer your photos from your old iPhone 4 to a brand new iPhone 5, you should transfer them form your iPhone 4 to your Mac first, thus you can transfer them from your computer to your iPhone 5 later, in this way, you can make it true to transfer photos from your iPhone 4 to your iPhone 5.
