How do I get the music from the phone back to the computer?

Lost entire ITunes on my computer had to reinstall. All music is still on my IPhone 3GS but I can't get it back into ITunes on the computer. Had a lot of CD's from my CD collection. Don't wanna click the wrong thing afraid I will loose all of it!

Hi,
Do you have a Backup of your Computer... Time Machine... External Hard Drive...?

How do I get my music from my IPod back in the library of my new computer, it tells me I can only Sync my IPod with one library but I don't have my old PC anymore?

How can I Sync my IPod in ITune on a new PC and get the music from the IPod in the library and avoid this msg:
You can only Sync one library with your IPod?

Use the backup of the media and other important files from the old computer to put them on the new computer.
iTunes only syncs with one computer/library at a time.
If you have failed to maintain a backup or no longer have the old computer, you may be out of luck.
iTunes purchases can be transfered from the iDevice. Connect the device, do NOT sync. Select File > Transfer Purchases.
This will only transfer iTunes purchases. All other media will not transfer and will be wiped from the device when it is synced with a new computer/library.

This may be a silly question but how do I get my music from my old ipod to the Ipod touch. when I go to move my music a error pops up saying your music wasn't copied to this ipod because it can not be played on this ipod. what can I do??

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Transfer Purchases.

How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?

Are you syncing to a different computer? Iphone will sycn with only one at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
Otherwise, just select what you want to be on the iphone under the music tab and sync. What do you care if it erases? You will be syncing what you want to the iphone.

Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod. If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

Hello cgbuehling
You can, but only the purchases that were made from the iTunes Store. Other content that was imported from a CD or other sources will not transfer over.

My itunes was deleted off of my computer. Is there any way I can get my music from my Ipod back onto my computer?

Most of my music is from CDs that I don't have anymore. I've got over a thousand songs and most of them were deleted when my computer crashed. Is there any way I can get my music from my ipod back onto my computer? Any sort of program you can buy? Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it!

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.
