How do I get music off my iPad onto my new iMac?

I've got CDs on there which I'd ripped onto my old iMac but weren't purchased from iTunes. My old iMac was burgled so I now want to sync my iPad with the replacement. When I tried to sync it I got a message saying the contents of my iPad would be erased and replaced with the ilbrary on the computer, bu that only has the stuff I've purchased from iTunes. I've not managed to update to iOS 5 yet as I haven't synced as I don't want to lose everything on there.
How do I get stuff off?
Thanks

If you've authorised your iTunes account(s) on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to copy iTunes purchases via File > Transfer Purchases. For non-iTunes purchased music, if you haven't got a backup of content on external drives, CDs, DVDs etc, then you will need to see if there are any third-party programs that can copy content from your iPad to your computer

How can i get music off my iphone onto my new computer without the music on both having songs deleted?

I have a new computer and have put some music on it before I hooked up my iPhone. So now I have some music on my iPhone that I don't have on my computer and I don't want to 'sync' and lose some of the music on my iPhone. So I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with getting the music off my iPhone and adding it to my new iTunes??

The syncing of music is not a true sync process - not really a sync at all. It is a transfer process. No iTunes content in your iTunes library will ever be touched or removed by syncing an iDevice.
Where is your old computer - the one with your iTunes library that was used to sync with your iPhone? Why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.?
If your old computer is still available, transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link. This will prevent any iTunes content from being removed from your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer.

How do i Get music from my iPad to a new MacBook Pro

I have a lot of music on my iPad and want to get it onto my new MacBook Pro. It seems to want to sync the MacBook to the iPad which will wipe out all my music since the MacBook has nothing on it. How do I sync from iPad to MacBook?

You need to make the new Mac iTunes library your syncing library. iTunes on the Mac sees your iPad as a new device because you have never synced with this computer before. You can make the Mac your syncing computer by following the instructions in this user tip. You will be able to transfer the purchased music on the iPad into iTunes when you follow this procedure.

On itunes? OR externally? Because I did back them up on itunes and I think I do have an external backup, I just wanted to know whether it was possible for me to recover them from itunes as they still show up in my purchase history.
Only in the U.S.
This is one of the many reasons that always maintaining a backup is very important.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
Your purchase history is only a list of your purchases. There are no files there.

How do I get photos OFF my ipod onto a new computer?

I can see the photos on the iPod.
I've tried putting it in dick mode but the photo files don't show up. All my other files seem to be there.
Putting new photos on the ipod is easy. Getting them off and onto a new computer doesn't seem like it can be done.
Any ideas?

I don't have the original pictures because I don't have the original computer. I can't re-put them on the ipod. We're talking 4000 pictures or so.
Right now I have Image Recall looking at the ipod. It's found 37 pictures so far. I'm hoping it will be able to find the rest. I'm not hopeful.

How can I get music off my ipad?

I synced my iTunes music library to my iPad by mistake and now want to remove it. There is nothing about removing music from the device in the operating manual and I can't find anything in the support section on the Apple website. I would prefer a solution that didn't involve removing music from the iTunes library itself.

Hi - thanks for your reply.
I can't seem to make your first suggestion work, I've done this before for other apps so I understand the concept but it just doesn't work for the album view in the iPod app.
I'l give the other suggestion a go.

I did not sync music properly to computer from iphone3. have new iphone4. how can i get music off old phone onto new one. new phone all set up. help

I did not sync my iphone3 music to my computer. Thought I did it properly but did not. New at this stuff. Now my IT person installed and configured my new iphone4 and my music is on old phone. Anyway to get it to new phone. Help.:)

Set up your new phone as if it were the old one. Settings, mail, mobile me, same email same password that you used on old phone. You can still sync the old phone to iTunes library. You may have to click on picture of phone on the left & click on back up iPhone. You'll see songs, contacts & calendar downloading in apple slot at the top. When done connect new phone. Authorize computer put in apple ID when that screen comes up & that should allow both phones to share the library. If you use the same ID the same information will be on both phones.

How do i get music off an old ipod

How do i get music off an old ipod classic into my windows 8 system when it doesn't find the ipod when i plug it into the usb?

Hi aekdbaker ,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have music on your iPod that you would like to transfer into your iTunes library on your Mac.
If those songs you wish to transfer were purchased, there are two different ways you can accomplish this. The first way, which does not even require you connecting your iPod to the computer, would be to re-download them from iTunes in the Cloud directly to your iTunes library. Directly connecting your iPod to your Mac to transfer purchases is an option as well. Instructions for both methods of gathering your past purchases in your iTunes library on your Mac are available in the attached article.

To troubleshoot your iPod not being seen in iTunes, please use the troubleshooting steps outlined in the next attached article.

I have tried to do this through home sharing but as I don't have the old laptop it wont let me.
Any HELP please?!?
Would be much appreciated.

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?
