HT1329 My laptop was stolen and I am trying to transfer the music from my iPad

I want to transfer the music from my iPad, most of which is not purchased from iTunes, to the new computer (PC) but getting a message stating that the device is syched to another computer. Anyway to make my new computer the home computer and transfer the non-iTunes music without erasing the content of the iPad?

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
Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned above). For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you 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):

Do not regard your i-device as a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining a backup of your media on a computer backup.

iPods (except for iPod touch) require a computer (Mac or PC) running iTunes to sync content.

My laptop was stolen and I want to move all my songs from my iPad to iTunes....how?

iTunes wants to sync an empty library to my iPod. I want to do the reverse so I can populate iTunes. This seems so easy but I can't figure it out.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is oen way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Was your backup copy of your computer stolen as well? If not, then use it to put everything back

Where can I find "Store Authorize This computer" on iPhone 4s, because it constantly showed up while I tried to transfer the music from my PC to my iPhone4s and I cannot successfully transfer the music from PC to iPhone.

I try to transfer the music from iTune on my Window7 to iPhone4s. During the process, the phrase "Some of the purchased item on the iPhone 'Admin's iPhone' including 'Dropbox' could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer.To authorize this computer for items purchase from the iTunes store.Choose Store>Authorize>This computer." Where can I find the "Store" to authorize my computer? plus I just want to transfer the music from PC to iPhone; not the other way around. Please help. Thank you.

Press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

What if my laptop was stolen, and I'm trying to sync my mini?

I have a ton of books on my mini, and I cannot sync with the new library on my computer. It tells me that I have to erase all the content on the mini in favor of the computer. Is there any way to get these books off?

TS3376 My laptop was stolen, and I'm trying to lock it remotely, but I don't remember my password. How can I retrieve it?

The question says it all. I need to retrieve my password, but it is 6 numbers. My password for my mac and my apple ID would not work and I don't remember setting a password.

Without the computer you cannot retrieve or reset your admin password. The password for your Apple ID is something you set. You can reset that password, but you will need some computer to do that.

My computer crashed and was rebuilt. I tried to sync the music from ipad back to my computer but I keep getting a message that says the content on my ipad will be erased. It also says the ipad was synced to a different library.

My computer crashed and was rebuilt. I tried to sync the music from my ipad to my computer but get a message that says the content on my ipad will be erased and is synced to a different library. All the music purchased from itunes synced but I need to get the music that was not purchased on itunes. How do I do this?

You don't. the ipad is not a backup/storage device. it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer. The sync is one way - computer to ipad. The only exception is itunes purchases.
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
If so, not good.
You may be able to purchase a third party program, not supported by Apple, to get the other music.

My laptop was stolen and all my music is on my iPod Classic. How can I transfer it to my new computer and keep the playlists and such?

Hey Everyone,
My apartment was broken into and my laptop was stolen which had my entire iTunes library. I have it all on my iPod Classic now which was with me at the time.
What do you suggest as the best tool to transfer the music FROM my iPod to to my new computer? I know there are some programs out there, what have you had success with?
My most important question is, is there a way to retain my library and especially playlists as it is (instead of copying over a massive bunch of songs)? Most of my music is from music blogs, mixtapes and underground artists so most of it cannot be found in the iTunes store.
Thanks for any help guys!
Vlad.

My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop. I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone. Any suggestions?

You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
