How do I retrieve music from old iPhone?

I have an old iPhone that has a bunch of music, pictures, etc. on it that I want to pull off it and put onto my new Macbook Pro. My old Macbook Pro had all of it on it, but got stolen and I had NO backup! UGH! So, I tried syncing the old iphone to this new Macbook Pro, that doesn't have anything on it yet, to try and get the music and other stuff off it; but I got a message saying that if I sync it with the new computer, all the media on the old iphone will be replaced! I don't want to lose it, I want to retrieve it! There's GOT to be a way! Can someone help me out?
Basically, I just want to download all the content off this old iPhone onto the laptop so I have SOME music and some of the pictures I lost from when my laptop was stolen.

Yeah, I found instructions on how to pull music, pictures, etc. off the iPhone here: http://m.engadget.com/default/article.do?artUrl=http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/ 25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone-os/
And I found a free Mac OS X app that allows you to download files off an iPhone without doing anything you're not 'supposed' to do (i.e. jailbreak) to your iPhone. It's here: http://www.macroplant.com/podtomac/
Problem solved!

    how do I transfer music from my iPhone 4S to my new computer with windows 8 without deleting music off my phone?

    What should be done, is to copy your entire iTunes folder from
    your old computer to your new one, then open iTunes holding down
    the shift key.   You will get prompted to create new or open existing,
    select existing and navigate to the iTunes folder and select the
    "iTunes Library.itl" file.
    To find were the iTunes folder is:

    After doing this, you "should" be able to sync normally.
    If you never previously synced to iTunes, then it could be problematic.

    How do I get music from my iPhone 5 on to my new iMac?

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is isynced.  The sync is oen way -  computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You should copy everything (files/docs/music/pics/contacts/calendars/etc) from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

    OK, well, seems like you need to lose the attitude if you really want help.
    There are several ways to get music from iTunes on your computer to your device.
    The easiest is to sync directly with iTunes by connecting your device to your computer, selecting the device, setting up your Profile pages, and then clicking the Sync button to sync.
    First you want to open iTunes and under Preferences>Devices, make sure that you are not syncing automatically:
    Make sure that box is checked.
    Then follow the instructions in the article below for either your computer or your Mac to set up your Profile pages and to sync your music via iTunes:
    WINDOWS IOS SYNC ITUNES 11
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    You can also directly download music from iTunes to your device by going to the iTunes icon, going to "Purchased", and selecting the items that are not on your device that show a little cloud next to them. Click on the cloud and the music will download.
    You might also want to familiarize yourself with your iPhone 5 manual. It has all the answers you cannot find on Google or by trying to just do it by brute force. If you would take a little time to read about your device and how to use it, you might not be so frustruated and unnecessarily snarky to people who are trying to help:

    how do i transfer music from my iphone to my new laptop

    You might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    For iTunes purchases File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them over. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then if you haven't got it on a backup drive and you don't still have your old computer with it (copying music between computers) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them off your phone : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
