How can i transfer songs from my iPhone 4s to new mac

I recently got a new MacBook (My first one ) but the problem is my old PC crashed and I lost all of my songs that were on that computer. The only songs I have left are on my iPhone. Is there anyway I could simply transfer the songs on my iPhone to my new MacBook? of course, when I go to "sync" my phone to my new iTunes, which is my old account, it says that everything will be erased and what is in my new iTunes library (which is empty) will be transfered to my phone.
Please help!!!! I am still learning this MacBook so please forgive my stupidity! Go Team Apple!

Re-downloading all your purchased music (apps, ibooks, videos, everything) is easy if you purchased them from Apple. Assuming they are still available, you simply download them again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Retrieving music that you copied from CD or other sources is not easy. Music is supposed to go from your computer to the iPhone, not the other way around. Moving its content to a computer is contrary to the design.
I wish I had a dollar for everyone with a Windows PC who asked this question. Given their predilection for attracting viruses and other sordid malware, Windows PCs crash with disturbing regularity. Now that you made the wise decision to replace it with a MacBook, get an external backup disk (external hard disk drive, or Time Capsule) and simply use Time Machine. Plug it in and Time Machine does the rest. The drudgery of backing up your system becomes painless and totally forgettable, and recovering from a crash becomes a non-event.
Here is some guidance retrieved from an old post. Since it is old, some of the links may not work:
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
iTunes & iPod software
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

    You can't. Not directly anyway. You might be able to import them to your computer and then sync them to the iPad but there is no way to transfer them over the air or by connecting the two devices with a cable.

  • How can I transfer Music from my iphone 4s to my mac?

    I can't figure out how to transfer Music from my iPhone 4s to my Mac. I read somewhere that iCloud can do this, but I couldn't find how to do it; I don't see Music in my iCloud. And connecting the iphone to the Mac doesn't show anywhere to transfer, except to Sync, which erases former music.

    You can only transfer purchased music from your iphone to your Mac.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    otherwise it is a one way sync itunes to iphone for music.

  • How can I transfer songs from my iPhone without wiping the iPhone?

    I have two computers. My original is a basic Dell that's really getting old and the other is a new one I custom built a year ago. My first computer, which I had all my iTunes stuff on, has started dying so I've decided to transfer all my music and iTunes over to the new computer. I transfered all my songs from iTunes over to the new computer (after re-downloading iTunes) and then popped in my iPhone.
    The issue is this: the new iTunes library is missing 200 songs that my iPhone has. Well, whatever, I figured I'd just sync it. But if I sync from my phone to the new computer it wipes out my phone and gives me the stuff in iTunes, so then I'm out 200 songs. So I tried hitting "Manually Sync this phone". Same thing, if I try and hit apply it says it'll wipe out my phone because it's already synced to the old computer.
    Is there a way to un-sync my phone from the old computer, or a way that I can move my music from the phone over to the new computer without wiping it?

    iPhone Data Transfer is another choice which lets you copy sms, contacts, notes, bookmarks, songs, vidoes, photos and call log etc from old iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5 to your new iPhone 5S or iPhone 5S.
    Most important is these data will be merged perfectly on your new iPhone. No data loss worry.
    Best luck!

  • How do I transfer songs from my iPhone to my new computer?

    I know how to transfer songs puchased from iTunes, but what about my other songs?

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • How do i put songs from an iphone onto a new mac?

    i have no idea how to put songs onto a new computer/blank itunes

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized 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.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.
