iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - just media purchased from iTunes Store
i-devices are intended to by synced with iTunes (iTunes --> device), not transfer things to iTunes. For transferring songs from i-device to computer see commercial software utilities (with the exception of iTunes purchases). Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing):

HT1296 How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro
How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro
I am facing problem while I connect to my iPad mini with MacBook Pro , it only sync photo from its taken by and from it camera roll only. It doesn't sync all the images... Like my all albums. All photos in library....To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
You should also be able to copy albums that you've created directly on the iPad via apps such as Simple Transfer (though I haven't tried it) -
How can I transfer all my music from 2nd gen iPod Touch to iPhone 5?
When I connect my iPhone 5 to my MacBook Pro (Model MacBookPro2,2) running OS X 10.7.5 and iTunes 10.7 and try to sync, only my recently purchased music is copied to the iPhone. Is there a way to directly transfer ALL my music, currently contained on my 2nd ge neration iPod Touch (running iOS 4.2.1) or my first generation iPad to the iPhone 5?
It needs to be stored on your Mac and in iTunes firs before it can be synced over to your iPhone 5.
If all the content you want to sync to the iPhone 5 are purchases from the iTunes Store, you can redownload them all via iCloud directly from the iPhone assuming you live in a country where iCloud has gone live.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If it's non iTunes store purchased content that is no longer stored in iTunes on your Mac, you'll need to the help of third party software to help you get the job done. See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

My home computer which has my iTunes library on it how can I transfer all of my music from my iPhone to my new computer
The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintan a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back. -
How can i transfer all the music from my old iphone to a new one
my iphone broke. i have a new one and im trying to get all the music from the old one to the new one. i dont wanna delete all the music on the old phone i just wanna like "Copy" it to the new phone but i dont know how thats why im asking for help.
I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync. -
How can I transfer all the music from my iPhone to the library on my new computer?
My iPhone was synced with my iTunes on a laptop that has since crashed. I'm wanting to transfer all my music and photos from my phone to my computer, which currently has an empty library. However, I'm worried that if I sync, it will erase everything I have and leave me with nothing. I didn't have anything backed up, so I hate to lose all that's on my phone when some of it is from CDs that I no longer have that were ripped into my previous library.
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device witha different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 -
HT1386 How can I transfer all my music from my iPhone to iTunes?
I just got a new computer forcing me to dowload iTunes all over again. I have all my music on my iPhone but i want to transfer it to my iTunes library. How can I do this? Every time i try to sync it, it says that all songs on my phone now will be replaced with the songs in the library...meaning since there is no music there that it would just be erasing all my music on my phone. PLEASE HELP. Thanks.

You have to move your songs on your iPod touch to iTunes, then synch your iPhone to that iTunes library. No other way to do this

I have tried copying iphoto onto flash drive and then putting on the pro but it just comes up as having no photos in it. Can I have two seperate iphotos on one laptop? I tried file sharing the iphoto library too but just comes up with not having the relevant permissions to put it on the pro. Please help, I'm not massively computer literate and just want my laptop to have photos on. I also need to move my itunes music....how would I do that? I don't want everything from my imac so don't want to use migration assistant. Thank you.
Hi Thomas,
Thank you again for another very swift response.
The folder got into the Trash because I'm an idiot who didn't think he needed it anymore.
Then I thought: hold on a minute. I'll pull that back out of the Trash before I delete it, JUST in case.
And thank goodness I did.
Here are the Terminal results:

Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.
Depends on why it's ineligible. If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version. (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".) Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match. Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible. -

This is one of the most basic of functions of the iPhone. This is a good time for you to read the User Guide. All the instructions on how to operate yor phone are included. I suggest you read through it.

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip. -
