How do I move my music from my iphone 4s to my new computer?

Every time i go under the i phone menus and click on music and sync it says that it is either going to delete all the songs that are currenty in my phone righ now. Or that it is going to replace all the 230 songs that i do have with the 3 cd's that i uploaded into my computer a few days ago. I dont want to risk losing any music at all because it is such a hassel to get it all back, and i am away at college and have no way of getting thoes cd's that are on my phone back on it. Please help
Thank you!

Where is your old computer and why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data you will need or want to access on your new computer?
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only. If you transfer your iTunes library to a new computer to be used for syncing, no iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on the new computer.

How do I move the music from my iTunes library on my desktop computer to my iPad?

Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your iTunes music to sync to the iPad's Music app

How can I move my photos from Photoshop Elements 8 to a new computer also running Elements 8?

I am not sure this is going to work. For one thing, the preferences file is in a different place in Mountain Lion. It is at: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.pli st. I wouldn't try to move the .plist file, I'd be very surprised if it would work.
I would do a different approach and start with just recreating the mail account(s) you have on the new machine from scratch and let them download your mail from the server. Then if there were e-mails not on the server any more, but stored in the black macbook, I'd copy them from the mailboxes folder, from the old machine to the new. I'm not sure where they are in 10.5.8, but in ML they are at ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes.
At each stage along the way I'd do a backup, so in case it screws things up, you can revert to a functional Mail.app.

You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.

I got a new computer and some of my music apparently wasn't backed up to the external hard drive. I have some of the music that didn't save on an iphone. How do I move the music from the iPhone into my iTunes library on the computer?

I got a new computer and somehow have lost some of my more recently purchased and or imported music. I have some of that music on an iphone and some on an ipad. How do I get the music from those devices into my itunes library without losing everything else?

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

HT4759 how can I transfer my music from my Iphone 4 to my new Iphone 5? I was able to transfer my contacts and apps but can not get my ipod music

Can someone help me figure out how to get my ipod music from my old 4iphone transferred to my new iphone 5?

if the music is purchased with iTunes, just download it on the iPhone using this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If the music on your iPod was downloaded elsewhere or ripped from CD's, you can't transfer that back to a computer or another iOS device, iPhones/iPads/iPods weren't designed for this. That has everything to do with music industry rights and legal stuff.

How do I move my music from an older macbook to the new iPhone 4s?

My macbook is old (OS X 10.4.11), so I can't update iTunes to a newer version. All the tutorials on syncing deal with newer OSs. I have TONS of music on my macBook, and I want to be able to use it on my new phone, but nothing happens when I plug it in to my laptop.
I know most people don't keep technology as long as I do, but my laptop works great. I don't need a new one, and I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars trying to update to a new OS.
Any savvy techs out there who know of a loop hole of how to get the music files to the iPhone?
Thanks!

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your devices sync with a photos folder you will need to copy this over and update the settings on the photo tab to point to the new location.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

How do i move my music from my old pc to my new one.

I bought a new pc. I have the hard drive from my old pc connected to the new one to move my files. I've looked at the instructions on this web site but can't figure out how to move my music. I'm an idiot. Can some one please help me.

You can add the contents of the media folders from the other drive into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, then dedupe. After importing, hold down the shift key and press File > Display Exact Duplicates. Sort the resulting list on Date Added, then select those files added today, delete, and move to the recycle bin.
This will bring in the media from your old library, but not ratings, play counts, playlists etc. Gathering up that extra data would be techincally feasible but not trivial. If, however, it was really important to you then you'd need to take a different approach and do some preparation before importing the media into your current library.
