How do I transfer my library from my iPhone to my new Macbook Air?
How do I transfer my photos from my iPhone or IPad to my new Macbook Air? I last synced to my old Macbook Pro, and have since had a major issue with the library on that computer. The library on my iPhone and iPad are good and would like to import those to my iPhoto on my Macbook Air and just start from there. Any suggestions? Thank you!!! Craig
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 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 transfer my songs from my iphone 5 to itunes on windows 7?
Changed my Hdd on my conputer and lost all data. i donwloaded itunes but now i cant figure out how to put my songs from my iphone to my itunes. HELP !!!!
The iphone is not a storage/backup 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 backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back. -

How can I transfer purchased iTunes from my computer to my iPod without losing all the songs I currently have on my iPod? I've already burned the purchased songs onto DVDs, but they still aren't recognized as authorized songs that I can copy onto my iPod. One other note: The songs I purchased were done so with iTune versions much earlier than 10.0, does that matter? I couldn't tell you what version though.
Not sure what you are saying.
What is stopping you from adding the songs?
Are you getting an error message?

how can i transfer my songs from my nano to a new itunes account because when i try to it tells me that i need to errase whatever is on the nanno ans then i can sync whats on my itunes but i want to put these songs and store them onto this new itunes acc
Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

I have a new computer with new songs I have purchased. But my iPhone has almost 2,000 songs on it and I have deleted it once before by trying to transfer my songs to a new computer before. Now I am a little bit scared to even try, so... How can I transfer my songs off my iPhone onto my new computer? Thank you!
If these are songs you have purchased with iTunes, then you start up iTunes, log in with your Apple ID, connect the phone and transfer purchases. If this is not purchased music, iTunes is not set up to work that way. Sync of music is only one way, from iTunes to Phone. That is what the backup of your computer is for.
If by some chance you did not backup your comptuer, then you would need to look into 3rd party software. See this user hint about handling that. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 -
