Some of the information below is summarized by turingtest2 in the post at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18842615
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is designed for 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 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 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):

  • How can I transfer songs from my old Ipod to my new one?

    I just bought a new ipod video from apple and I would like to transfer all of my songs from my old 3rd generation ipod to my new one, how can I do this?

    Download iRip, the program will detect your iPod then select "recover". If you have a firewire connection this will be fast. If you have a new iPod then you'll wait a little longer for your music to be ripped. When everything's recovered you eject the old iPod and connect the new one, drag'n drop, voilá. Don't forget to get rid of your music once you are sure it's installed -and maybe backuped in a external hard drive- so your computer memory won't be affected.
    I use mac, I'm noticing that you are windows, if this don't work, google "rip ipod" and you'll find something there. Hope it works!

    You can't without putting it on iTunes first, which is done by using the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu.

    How do you transfer information from an old ipod to a new one

    Restoring the new iPod from the backup of your old iPod will result in the new iPod being the same as the old iPod except that you will have to reenter keychain items like passwords since keychain items are only restored to the same unless you use an encrypted backup.

  • I just bought a new ipod shuffle, how can i transfer music from my old ipod onto the new one

    How do I transfer from my old ipod to my new ipod

    You can't transfer it directly.  If the old iPod is set to sync to your iTunes library on the computer, everything on the iPod is in your iTunes library.  Just set up the shuffle to sync from your iTunes library as desired.
    If the old iPod is set to Manually manage music, AND there are songs on the iPod that are not in your current iTunes library, please post back.

  • My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library so now how do I transfer music from my old iPod to my new one

    A little while ago my computer crashed and I lost everything, including my iTunes library except for on my iPod Shuffle. I just got a new iPod Nano for Christmas and I need to transfer the music from my old one to my new one but I can't figure out how to do this because my iTunes does not have the music that my old one does.

  • How can I transfer music from an old Ipod to a new one?

    I have an older Ipod and just bought an I pod touch.  How can I transfer the music from my old one to the new one?
    Thanks!

    All of your music should be in itunes on your computer.  If it is not, then put it there.
    You can then sync it to the ipod.

  • How do I transfer everything from my old iPod to the new one for FREE?

    I just purchased a new iPod Classic (7th Gen) and need to copy everything over to my new iPod. I was trying to use "iPod 2 iPod" but they want $40 for it and I am not spending $40 just to do a one time transfer. Is there any program out there that dose what "iPod 2 iPod" dose but is FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!! and available for Windows?

    NO, like most people I don't use iTunes like that, all my music is backed up on external hard drives and stored on DVD's, it is never all in the same place and I am not going to keep all my music on my computers hard drive and take up all the space. Now if only there was some magical amazing device that is like a laptop with a lot of storage space but only smaller that people could take anywhere to listen to all of there favorite music so they would not have to fill up there laptop or desktop's hard drive and/or drag around a computer where ever they go... oh wait, something like that already exists, it's called a #$%^*&! IPOD!!!. That is the whole point... The only place I keep most of my music on is my iPod but Apple and there infinite wisdom for some reason decided that iTunes would be the place where people would keep and manage their music and not the iPod, So since I can only sync my iPod with iTunes but CANT sync iTunes with my iPod I would be unable to do as you have suggested.

  • How do you transfer photos from an old iPhone to the new one??

    How do you transfer photos from an old iPhone to your new one??

    Photos in your camera roll are included in the iPhone backup, & restoring your new phone from the backup of your old phone, as described here, will restore these photos to your new phone:

    Photos synced to your phone are not included in any iPhone backup. If you're talking about photos that were synced to your old phone, just sync them to your new phone.

  • Is there a way to get my songs from my old ipod to my new one?

    i was just wondering if there is a way to get my songs from my old ipod nano to my new ipod nano because some of the songs i have are not in my itunes... so if there is a way to get my songs from my old ipod to my new one can someone tell me how please

    You can't copy directly from one iPod to another. If the songs on the old one aren't in iTunes you need to copy them back and update the new one from there. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible - Windows version only)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
