How do I transfer playlists from an iPhone 3GS to a PC?

My PC hard drive died. I have figured out how to transfer purchases from my iPhone to my PC, but I can't figure out how to get my Playlists transferred.  Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Big Bopper, thanks for your continued help. Unfortunately the answer to your question is no. The first time I had plugged an iPhone of any variety into my PC was yesterday, and the only thing that happened when I did this was that iTunes told me I had to enter the access code to the iPhone before I could continue with iTunes. I did this and it all worked fine - except that I can't get photos through iTunes.
(Sometimes I am asked this when I plug in my old-fashioned iPod Classic, and I usually cancel the invitation because I only need to organise my iPod through iTunes. But not for the iPhone.)
I am coming to the conclusion that iTunes just can't be used to manage photos the way it can manage other medie (e.g. songs). I'm not sure why photos are singled out - as an aside, music from my wife's iPhone library synched without me doing anything, and I was surprised to discover today that after re-synching my iPod I had all of my wife's music collection on my iPod, but not her photos. So transferring music  isn't just easy, it's inevitable, but transferring photos is problematic at best (let's face it even if I could go through Windows Explorer to transfer photos, that still would be harder than the way iTunes deals with music). Which is odd given that a user is more likely to have copyright permission over their photos than over their music - you'd think it would be much harder to transfer songs, and pretty straight-forward to transfer photos!
Anyway, thanks for trying to help. I think in this case there is a speed bump in Apple's famous seamless user experience!

    DO NOT sync your iPhone or all your music will be lost. 
    Use a music transfer software like Senuti to move your music from your iPhone to yur Computer/iTunes.

  • How can I transfer playlists from my Iphone to my Computer

    So I recently got a new computer and I just installed Itunes on it.
    My old computer broke and so I lost the playlists in it, but I still have all my playlists and songs on my Iphone 4.
    I searched up how to transfer playlists to my new computer and I found that doing a Back Up would work, so I backed up my Iphone to my new itunes and all the playlists with songs are on it.
    Everything seemed fine untill i realized that I cant do anything with my music apart from playing it on my computer.
    The songs play but i cant even drag them out to my desktop or anything.
    Is there anything I could do to move the songs and copy them onto a file on my desktop?
    Please answer asap, im frustrated and cant seem to find a solution.
    Thank You

    Not really. Frankly you should always keep at least two copies of your iTunes libraries on separate drives. Your iPhone could be too easily lost, stolen, damaged, or corrupted. Some of the paid transfer software does make it relatively easy to copy off the media but there are free solutions in that list too, the last three entries in particular.

  • How do I transfer apps FROM my iPhone 3gs TO my itunes library

    I want to sync the apps from my iphone to my itunes library.
    When I check the 'sync apps' box in the apps tab in itunes I get a warning that all of the apps on my iphone (3GS, just updated to iOS4)- about 50 apps - are going to be replaced by the apps in the library - 2 apps.
    Is there a way for me to transfer the apps from my iphone to the itunes library so when I sync them I wont lose all my apps?

    connect your device and right-click or control-click your iPod in the iTunes Source list, then choose +transfer purchases+ from the shortcut menu that appears.

  • How do i transfer video from my iphone 3gs with ios5 to my mac?

    I've recently shot to videos that are to big to email.
    How do I import the video or isn't it possible?
    I've tried with itunes, imovie, iphoto and image capture, but my phone only shows up as a device in itunes.
    Anybody got any ideas?

    You can't do videos with Photo Stream, so you're saying that neither iPhoto or Image capture see your phone as a camera, correct? In your iPhone camera roll, do you have both pics & videos, or just videos? If you have pics in the camera roll, were they all shot using the phone's camera, or were any saved from emails or web sites?

    How to i transfer playlists from my iPhone to iTunes? They are all on my iPhone but not on iTunes how do i get them on there?

    iTunes will only transfer purchases back to your computer using the iTunes > File > Transfer purchases from XXX's iPhone.  It will not transfer playlists or non-purchased songs.
    Here is an application that will transfer playlists and non-purchases (from iTunes) songs.  There is a free demo limited to 1,000 songs or you can buy the full featured version for $18.99.  http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/

    how do you transfer playlists from on computer to a new one, library has already been transfered

    - Why not just copy the iTunes computer folder to the new computer?
    - You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can transfer non-iTunes purchased music by using one of the third-party programs discussed in ths previous discussion:
    Best iPod to PC
    - Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file from your old computer to the new one and restore from backup, you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod and thus loose all app date. The iPod backup file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • HT1329 How do I transfer playlists from one ipod to another?

    How do I transfer playlists from one ipod to another?

    It needs to go through iTunes.  But there is no way to transfer songs from iPod to iTunes library (except for music you purchased from iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library.  You can then sync your iPhone to the iTunes library.
    Alternately, if you sign up for the iTunes Match service, your iTunes music library on your computer will become available from iCloud.  You can set your new iPhone (assuming you bought a "new" iPhone) to sync from iCloud, instead of from your computer's iTunes.  All of your music will be available wirelessly, wherever you have an Internet connection.

    The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind.  Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

    Pics taken with the iphone are imported to your computer as with any other digital camera ( as explained in the manual).
    Pics synced to your iphone from your computer should still be on the computer.
