The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

I recently just opened my own itunes account. I thought I added it to my iphone. However everytime I go to update my apps on my phone it keeps asking for my old itunes account password. How do I change that?
For what reason was a new iTunes account created?
Content acquired from iTunes is permanently tied to the account it was acquired with. -
How can I add a new iTunes account without losing all my music on my iPhone?
Currently, all of my family's purchases are through my wife's iTunes account. As such, both of our iPhones are synced with iTunes through that account. I would like to add an account just for me, but I also don't want to lose all of the music we've purchased so far. Is this possible?
Thanks for that...

I got an Icloud account and lost all my contacts from my Iphone 3s. how do I get them back?
I had to change my icloud account and all of my contacts disappeared from my phone contacts.
How do I get them back???? I lost hundreds of important personal and business contacts.
I tried to sync it when I got home with my Mac, but still all of my contacts are gone.
Where the heck are they? Why did they go? How can I get them back?Do you have an iCloud back up as well? If so restoring from there may be an option

This is really frustrating, I've been trying to get my songs back for hours
When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details. -
I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
How do I do this?
(when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said. You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before. You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer).
After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy. -
I shared my itunes account with my daughter for many years while she had only an ipod. She now has her own iphone with her own itunes account. Is it possible to transfer the purchases she made on my account over to her new itunes account?
No. Purchase always remain with the account they were purchased with.

How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12
How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12 i know in other versions it was via get info but as all of the tunes have the same album title , I am not sure what tio change to achieve this ?
I don't see your screenshot but I assume you're starting with something like this, i.e., the compilation split into multiple albums:
If you select all the items that you want to be in a single album, right-click > Get Info you'll see this:
As you say, in iTunes 12 you don't see a field to enter a distinct Album Artist value. You can, however, address this by clicking the Add Field button and selecting Album Artist:
That makes the field available in the metadata dialog so that you can enter the required value:
You can also show the pre-iTunes 12 version of the dialog by holding the SHIFT key when selecting Get Info - this allows you to enter the Album Artist directly: -
How do I get all my music from my iPhone onto my new macbook pro's iTunes? My old laptop is broken.
I recently purchased a Macbook Pro as my old Macbook broke. I want to transfer all the music from my iPhone onto the iTunes of my new Macbook Pro, however I cannot do this by moving the tracks onto an external hardrive from the old computer to the new as the old is broken. I've looked at lots of different forums etc. on the internet and I've still had no luck! Please help me !
Get a third-party utility such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac. See also, Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store and How to dowload purchased music.

hi i need help
hi my laptop with my itunes lubrary has crashed so i got a new one but i dont want to sync my iphone to the new laptop incase i lose all my songs on my iphone. how do i sync to a new one without losing everythingThe right way is to restore the backup that you kept of your old computer onto your new one. If it is too late for that before you do anything set up a backup process for the new one so when it crashes (note I said "when", not "if") you won't be faced with this problem again.
In lieu of that the apps already mentioned will help you get content off the phone if it was not purchased from iTunes. But it it WAS purchased from iTunes just connect the phone to your new computer, Authorize iTunes on the new computer and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes file menu. -

Good luck Friend.
That's not going to help. That article is for moving photos from iOS device to computer, not for removing them. Additionally, photos synced via iTunes cannot be manually removed from the device. You have to use iTunes to 'unsync' them, as FoxFifth stated.
Camera Roll pictures are the only ones that can be imported from device to computer. Album folders cannot be moved from device to computer. -
How do I put songs from my iphone onto itunes?
The only way to do this is to purchase 3rd party software such as Touch Copy. iTunes will transfer purchased music from your phone to your iTunes library (by right-clicking on your phone in iTunes and selecting Transfer Purchases), but not music that wasn't purchased from iTunes. If the other computer is at your home, on the same network and logged into the same Apple ID you can use Home Sharing to copy music from one iTunes library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

I deleted all downloaded songs from my iPhone but under
Settings/About it still shows songs on my phone.
How do I fix this? I need to use that storage space for other things.First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
