How do I transfer songs from my iPhone to my new computer?
I know how to transfer songs puchased from iTunes, but what about my other songs?
The ipod is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

If the iPhone and iTunes aren't logged into the same account, the existing iTunes library will be replaced with the current iPhone music library.

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 can i transfer songs from my iPhone 4s to new mac
I recently got a new MacBook (My first one ) but the problem is my old PC crashed and I lost all of my songs that were on that computer. The only songs I have left are on my iPhone. Is there anyway I could simply transfer the songs on my iPhone to my new MacBook? of course, when I go to "sync" my phone to my new iTunes, which is my old account, it says that everything will be erased and what is in my new iTunes library (which is empty) will be transfered to my phone.
Please help!!!! I am still learning this MacBook so please forgive my stupidity! Go Team Apple!Re-downloading all your purchased music (apps, ibooks, videos, everything) is easy if you purchased them from Apple. Assuming they are still available, you simply download them again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Retrieving music that you copied from CD or other sources is not easy. Music is supposed to go from your computer to the iPhone, not the other way around. Moving its content to a computer is contrary to the design.
I wish I had a dollar for everyone with a Windows PC who asked this question. Given their predilection for attracting viruses and other sordid malware, Windows PCs crash with disturbing regularity. Now that you made the wise decision to replace it with a MacBook, get an external backup disk (external hard disk drive, or Time Capsule) and simply use Time Machine. Plug it in and Time Machine does the rest. The drudgery of backing up your system becomes painless and totally forgettable, and recovering from a crash becomes a non-event.
Here is some guidance retrieved from an old post. Since it is old, some of the links may not work:
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) 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. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
iTunes & iPod software
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers

TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows

Floola Mac & Windows

TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
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

How do you transfer songs from an iPhone to a computer
My laptop bit the dust so I had to replace it. I am trying to transfer songs from my iphone to the new laptop but the "sync" function only works in the other direction and would errase all the songs on my iphone. Any suggestions?
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 for this very occasion. Use it to put everything back. -

How can I transfer contacts from my iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?
You can't. Not directly anyway. You might be able to import them to your computer and then sync them to the iPad but there is no way to transfer them over the air or by connecting the two devices with a cable.
I know absolutely nothing about apps like this, but I did a very quick Google search and found this.

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
