HT1296 Transfers from device to computer

I accidentally deleted a few playlists in iTunes on my computer. But because I didn't set up my iPhone to automatically sync music with iTunes, the original playlists are still preserved on my iPhone.
Question: is it possible to transfer a few playlists FROM my iPhone to my computer (iTunes) so that both computer and iPhone playlists match?
Thanks in advance.

Try Senuti.

I set up Firefox sync from my old computer. This has had its hard drive replaced and been sold. I now want to retrieve the information and got my bookmarks on my new computer. I can't see any way to do this!

Help please

To build on the second option provided by The Edmeister make sure that you have your Sync Key, if this is not the case Firefox Sync will not help you (data is encrypted with that Key).
Finally, if the last sync happened long time ago, it may be the case that your data is not on the servers anymore. Firefox Syn wasn't designed as a back up service.

HT1296 Need help with sync from phone to computer

When I sync my phone to my laptop, I would like info I entered on the calendar on my phone to be added to the calendar on my computer. I can only get it to sync from computer to phone. I need to update both
any ideas. I have searched the help files and can't find this anywhere

My problem is similar. I just upgraded from the 4S to the 5 and I used to be able to sync the calendar on my iMac and iPhone using iCloud without getting duplicates by selecting/deselecting the appropriate calendars on the respective devices. Everything synced as I entered it.
I'm pretty sure it was working with the 5 until recently...
Today I noticed that an event I entered on the 5 for last week didn't show up on my iMac. When I checked the EDIT screen on the phone to see what calendars were checked, only the calendar for that event was (on the All on my iPhone). All but the Unfiled calendar are checked on the All on my iCloud. When I unchecked and rechecked the calendars under the Phone didn't help. Can't get the thing to sync...
Seems like most people are having problems with Exchange accts, but here I am with my iMac/Phone/Cloud...

HT4236 importing photo albums from device to computer

Can you import complete albums under the album name from the device (ipad) to the computer (imac)?

See this article, referred to in the article you attached above:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
In particular, note these two paragraphs (pay particluar attention to "Camera Roll or Saved Photos" in the first):
After your photos have been imported from your Camera Roll or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
Additional Information
You can import only photo and video content taken with the built-in camera or captured on the device. You cannot import photo or video content synced from iTunes.

Why can't you sync from iphone to computer

when i go to sync music or tones etc a message always come up ...do you want to remove everything from this iphone?
why can't you merge and then select music etc

Because, by design, an iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with one computer at a time. Each time you change computers, all iTunes content is first erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the new computer.
So, if you want to sync with this computer, either copy your iTunes library to this computer, or transfer the purchased content on your phone. Without syncing, right-click your phone in the left device pane & select "Transfer Purchases". Make sure this computer is authorized first: Go up to "Store", then "Authorize this Computer".

Auto sync from phone to computer but not computer to phone.

how do I auto sync music from iphone to computer, but keep from auto syncing from my computer to the phone? There is not enough memory on my phone to handle everthing on my computer and want to back up purchases made from my phone without having to remember what I bought and manually syncing. Thanks

Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
Connect device, right-click on it in the side bar and use transfer purchases.
Edit your sync settings so that a reasonable subset of your library is scheduled to sync to it rather than everything.

Apps won't sync from iTouch to computer. iTunes recognizes the iTouch and the app content, but the content is grayed out on the computer screen and won't allow me to sync. My iTouch is version 4.2.1 with 6.8GB capacity.

I am on vacation and away from my home computer. I installed iTunes on a computer I'm using at my son's house to enable
me to sync my iTouch, since it has become unstable when I am playing games and continually closes and reverts to the home
screen.
My son's computer recognizes my iTouch and my apps appear on the screen but they are all grayed out and will not allow me
to sync. Can anyone help me please?

Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. If you try to add content to it from another computer it will erase the contents of your iPod and replacement it with the contents of the new library.
In regards to the unstableness, have you tried a hard reset to see if that makes a difference? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

HT1386 I need help getting my music to sync from iphone to computer itunes. Got a new computer and everything else will sync but my music from my iphone.

I use my work computer to sync my iphone due to outlook appointments and email. I was given a new computer and got everything transferred ok, except for my music. I need to transfer my music from my iphone to my computer itunes. itunes is only giving me the option to sync from itunes to iphone, which would wipe out all of my music I think. Can someone help with this?

razmee209 is right, but if you can't get your old computer, you can use iExplorer to download your music from your phone to your computer. I've used it for other things and it works.

From device to computer

I just bought a new computer and I can't figure out how to transfer everything from my devices (ipad, iphone, ipod) on to my home computer into itunes?

iDevice are not and have never been backup devices.

School issued iPad--message that iPad is controlled by another computer. I need to sync from my home computer. How would I do this?

school issued iPad2 is controlled by another computer. I have to download from my home computer. How do I make this happen?

An iPad is designed to sync or connect with only one computer. Your schoool issue iPad was set up using a school computer most likely and that is the one that will sync wi the pad. Attempting to supync with a different computer will create problems. I suggest not doing that.
I see two solutions,
1. Email the docs you need to transfer from your computer to the email account that is on your iPad.
2. Copy the material from your computer and transfer that to the schools computer. Check with your Information Tech person at your school to see what might be best.

Want to sync FROM ipod TO computer w/CD loaded music

This is a strange one. I have what I believe is a first or second generation ipod nano. The ipod and the computer were working wonderfully. We loaded lots of music via CD into the computer and synced w/ the ipod. Then I had to give the computer back to my mother-in-law, so before I gave it to her I wiped out the itunes library on the computer.
NOW, we have the computer back so we can load more music onto the ipod. I simply want to load the music from the ipod TO the itunes library on the computer -- but it won't let me. Is there any way to do this without having to wipe out all the music that is on the ipod and reload manually into the computer, then sync to the ipod??
PLEASE HELP!! The computer in question is a Dell laptop.
Thanks.

For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

Sync from a new computer to my iPhone 5

I am unable to download content from my Windows 7 iTunes library to my iPhone 5 . I download podcasts to my laptop and no matter how often I sync, they do not appear on my phone. When I first bought my iPhone it was sync'd with a different laptop. How can I get content from my current computer onto my iPhone?

I just answered my own question. In iTunes I set it to back up to this computer, and it said you are connected to another computer and do you want to erase everything and proceed? I said yes, which is probably different from most people would want to do.
