Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.

For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Can anyone help? Can I get my iTunes library from my Ipad touch into my new PC? From what I've read, it looks like I have to buy a special software to move it over. However, I thought when I bought the ipod that it said I could have the library on other computers. Or was it that the library could be on several ipod devices? Thanks for any help.

How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
hi,
i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
Thank you!!I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic. -
My mini died. bought one used from a friend... all of my songs and books are on my iPhone, and I cant figure out how to get them onto this new computer. this is frustrating. the things i really want are purchases I've made from itunes store... help
!!!!!Hey kevyg3,
I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:

iTunes tells me, that I need to load version 11.1 in order to load a backup into my iPhone 5. I'm working with a windows PC and want to update my phone to iOS 7GM. version 11.0.5 is the highest I can get for windows. Can somebody help me?
I'm assuming you followed a forum like Gizmodo to load the latest version of iOS 7 Beta on your device
Alot of those forums forget to mention, iTunes 11.0.5 will allow you to update to the iOS 7 Beta but your device will no longer work unless you have the developer version of iTunes as well....
I'd suggest you to research how to downgrade back to 6.1.3/4 and wait a few days for the iOS to be released, -
I have OS 10.6.8 and I've recently downloaded Mountain Lion (10.8.3)... when I try to install, it says that I need version 10.8 to continue... What do I do?
Open App Store and sign in with your Apple ID. Locate the Mountain Lion installer, purchase Mountain Lion, then download it. It's a 4 GB file. You have downloaded an updater.
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
the process has completed.
d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
a. Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
b. Open Disk Utility.
c. Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
d. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
e. Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
f. Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
g. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
As an alternative to the above (you still have to do your own download of Lion/Mountain Lion) you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process of Steps 2 through 4. -
my ipod touch has 1.1 gb left of space on it. when i try to install an app thats 314 mb it gets three quarters of the way through and says my ipod has no space left. when i go to the storage it also says it has no space left. whats going on?
To download/install an app directly to the iPod you need available storage equal to about three times the file download size. Syncing the app to the iPod requires a lot less. Thus you either have to free up more storage or sync the app from your computer.

This is correct.

Just installed Firefox 4 but when I try to search for add-ons every result fails to find anything or the loading gui just keeps spinning. What should I try to fix this problem?
Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems. -
I downloaded the iOs 7, after went to sync it with my computer but it said I needed to update my iTunes, so I went to download the 11.1 and it said I needed a newer version? 10.6 (or something like that)
And so now I can't sync my phone...
Any suggestions? Besides throwing my computer out!! haha
My macbook is older.. bought in.. 2009. So I realize things may not work exactly the same.Yeah really!
One thing depends upon the other then nothing works or is no longer compatible.
I don't blame ya for wantin' to throw your computer out! Ha-Ha! -

Hi all..
Ive had my mac for quite some time, could say its been abused.. brought 2nd hand. But i do love it!!!
I dont know a great deal about the software.
Im trying to update my Java but while doing so it tells me that i need to free up space on my start up disk?
Please can somebody talk me through this? Many thanks, marcIt is not worth it. Java is insecure until you get to 10.5.8. Read this tip on disabling Java, and why.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3261
If you should desire to upgrade to 10.5.8, you may be able to, if you have 867 Mhz or higher G4, but that will mean disabling Classic, and other things mentioned here:

I have a six year old lap top with an old OS and itunes 10. I backed up my i phone 4 on it. I got an I phone 5 and the version of Itunes compatible is not supported by the laptop. I installed itunes on a different computer and when trying to sync the iphone 4 to the desktop, updated the iphone 4 software. Now my iphone 4 is no longer compatible with my laptop. I am interested in getting my contacts and photos from my old laptop to either iphone at this point. I have the backed up files but they are txt files in the Mobile Sync Back ups. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Generally when moving from one phone to another, individuals will make a backup of the one device and then restore to the second device. However, it seems you are no longer using the computer you made the backup on, so that can be a problem. There is no way for you to take information out of the backup and insert it in the iPhone. It is an all or none proposition. But, just moving the backup folder from one computer to another doesn't work either.
Did you sync the contacts to a supported application on the computer? Also, if you are referring to the photos in the camera roll, you can import them to the computer by connecting the phone to the computer. You do not need iTunes to do that. Just plug in and let the computer photo import utility take the pictures and put them on the computer. Then you would sync the photos back to the photo library on the new phone,
Contacts you can look at a 3rd party app that might help. MCBackup is in the app store and converts your contacts to a file you can email to yourself and then click on it and open it. Suggest syncing contacts/calendar to a supported application on the computer, or to iCloud so you can recover a lot easier. -
How do I get my itunes to recognize my account, it seems to be stuck on my friend account even when my ID show up as sign in, only when I try to update an App, that my friend account appear. I try to reset it on the computer and the phone itself, but no luck. Please advise
Many thanks lllaass,
The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.
Cheers
