How can I transfer my itunes from my iPhone to my new computer without deleting my songs off of my iPhone?

I have a new computer with new songs I have purchased. But my iPhone has almost 2,000 songs on it and I have deleted it once before by trying to transfer my songs to a new computer before. Now I am a little bit scared to even try, so... How can I transfer my songs off my iPhone onto my new computer?  Thank you!

If these are songs you have purchased with iTunes, then you start up iTunes, log in with your Apple ID, connect the phone and transfer purchases. If this is not purchased music, iTunes is not set up to work that way. Sync of music is only one way, from iTunes to Phone. That is what the backup of your computer is for.
If by some chance you did not backup your comptuer, then you would need to look into 3rd party software. See this user hint about handling that. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • My old computer has crashed and is beyond repair. How can i transfer my playlist from my ipod to my new computer?

    My old computer has crashed. My new computer has my iphone account. How can I transfer my playlist from my ipod to my new computer?

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • How Can I transfer my music from my phone to a new computer?

    Basically my phone is smashed to pieces however before claiming on the insurance, I need to transfer all my music on to a new computer, as the main one I used in the past is no longer with me! is there a way I can do it??
    Thanks in advance!

    If, as you say, you have backed up your purchased music, then you do not need to get it from the phone. Just get it out of the backup, or from your old computer, and copy it to the new computer.
    OTOH, if the only copy of the music is on your phone, then you may be out of luck. It depends on how badly damaged it is. If you can still get it to connect to the computer, you could use [Senuti|http://www.fadingred.com/senuti> to download the music from your phone to the computer. If you can't get it to connect, though, and you don't actually have a backup copy anywhere else, your music is gone.

  • If my computer crashed how can I get my itunes from my ipod onto my new pc without losing when syncing up?

    my pc crashing some time ago -- want to add new songs to my iPod but don't want to lose the songs I have on there now.  Anyway to do that?

    You should transfer the song files from your iPod to your current computer, add them to the iTunes library, and sync your iPod to that library (after confirming all of those songs are there now).
    Any songs purchased from the iTunes Store can be re-downloaded, at no cost, using the Purchased screen in the iTunes Store.
    For other songs, you can't transfer from iPod to computer using iTunes.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  Add "mac" to the search if you use a Mac.
    That would be the safest way to proceed, because you will then have a backup of the iPod's songs on the computer (in case the iPod breaks, gets lost, or needs a "Restore").  However, if you decline to sync when you first connect the iPod, it should get set to "Manually manage music."  When it is set that way, you should be able to add new songs to it manually (by dragging songs to it in iTunes).  But again, it would be safest to have ALL the songs (on the iPod) in the iTunes library on the computer first.

  • HT1349 I want to transfer my itunes from my ipad to my new computer...how do I do this?

    How can I transfer my itunes from my iPad to my new computer?????

    You can copy iTunes purchases from the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from other stores or copied from your CDs you can either copy them onto your new computer from your old computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527) or backup, or you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPad

  • How can I transfer purchased itunes from my computer to my iPod without losing/erasing the current songs on my iPod?

    How can I transfer purchased iTunes from my computer to my iPod without losing all the songs I currently have on my iPod?  I've already burned the purchased songs onto DVDs, but they still aren't recognized as authorized songs that I can copy onto my iPod.  One other note:  The songs I purchased were done so with iTune versions much earlier than 10.0, does that matter?  I couldn't tell you what version though.   

    Not sure what you are saying.
    What is stopping you from adding the songs?
    Are you getting an error message?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup.

  • I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content
    Pasted from another thread
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2234756?start=0&tstart=0
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed.  How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer?

    The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed.  How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer?  When I try to use Picassa to import them I can only see the 'Camera Roll; folder but I have several other folders with hundreds of pictures in them

    To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad 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.

  • I upgraded my computer to 64bit.  How can I transfer my Premiere Elements 8.0 (32bit) to new computer?

    In October 2014, I purchased Adobe Premier Elements 8.0 (and the APE Templates 8.0) for my work computer (32bit Windows 7).  Now they gave me a new computer which is 64bit (Windows 7).  How can I get my Premier Elements program back on my new computer without having to purchase it all over again?  I only had the program for a couple of months before they upgraded my computer  to a 64bit  I submitted my question through "Adobe Chat" and they said they couldn't help and I would need to check the forums.  Thanks to anyone who can help!   Jay

    What did you have for installation...
    a. installation files from a purchased download from Adobe
    or
    b. installation disc from boxed packaging of the product?
    If you have an installation disc, then insert the disc into the burner tray and follow the instructions for the installation
    that present sequentially. Remember that Premiere Elements 8 on Windows 7 64 bit is still going to be a 32 bit application.
    It will be running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of the 64 bit computer and the 32 bit limitations would apply. But Premiere Elements
    8 will install on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit but not as a 64 bit application.
    Now if you purchased an download, those downloads are typically specific to the operating system to which it was downloaded.
    Whether or not installation files downloaded to a 32 bit computer will work on 64 bit computer is questionable. Best advice is to
    try it. You will get an immediate message from the computer and program if it is a no go.
    Please review and let us know the outcome.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.
    ATR
    Add On...Premiere Elements Windows is a 64 bit application only when it is version 10, 11, 12, or 13 run specifically on
    Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
