HT1386 When it asks to sync my music it will automatically delete from my I pod I don't want that

I want to put my music from my I pod on my Mac book pro ,but I don't want to delete it from my I pod

I am having a similar problem with my iPhone 5. When I first got the iPhone 5 I synced it with my old Mac mini. Since then my old Mac mini broke forcing me to purchase a brand new Mac mini. Now I am trying to sync my iPhone 5 with the new Mac mini and it seems like the the only option I have is to erase my iPhone. None of the work abounds that I found on the net apply to me because I am unable to access the old Mac mini that my phone is synced with.
What can I do about this? I have a lot of photos, videos and GarageBand files on my iPhone 5 that I am not willing to part with. Between the time that my old mac mini broke and now, my iphone has been my computer so everything I have done in the past 5 months is on this phone. I have been a loyal apple customer for over 15 years. I just dropped another $1000.00 on a new Mac mini just to be rewarded with being told that I have to erase my iPhone before I can use it with my new computer. That kinda *****. If there is any way around this problem please let me know.

How do i get my library from my phone to my new computer? I no longer have access to the old computer. When I try to sync it says it will erase everythiong from my phone.

How do I get my library from my phone to my new computer? I no longer have access to the old computer and when I try to sync my music, it says it will erase everything on my phone. My itunes library is not showing up when I sign into the new computer. Its not even showing any downloads.

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Transfer Purchases.

My computer is asking to update firefox. I want to know if this will automatically update to 4.0. I don't want 4.o because when I added it before it wouldn't work with a game I play.

My computer is asking to update Firefox. How can I find out if this will update to 4.0? I don't want 4.0 because I did it before and it wouldn't work with a game I play. I want to update if necessary. What info do I need to provide to get an answer to this question?

It should tell you what version it is trying to update to. There is an update to Firefox 3.6.16 available. If you prefer you can download and run the Firefox 3.6.16 installer available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

If I delete an email on my iPhone, how do I sync it where it will automatically delete on my macbook and iPad. By the way, I have no idea how to change my email (which was a mobileme account before it became iCloud) to an IMAP format, so be specific!

How do I set up my macbook pro where it mail that I delete off my iphone will be automatically deleted off my macbook pro and ipad? Be specific; I have no idea how to set up mail in IMAP. This is a mobileme account I've had since 2007 and is now set up with icloud, but for over a year now, no syncing (deleting) mail i've deleted off my phone.

Try this to change the deleted folder on the ipad to the same as on your mac

The steps are pretty much the same as the gmail account used in the instructions, you may also be able to refresh the email folder list on the mac

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'. This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library? It doesn't sync either.

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

Also why is it forcing me to set up as a new iphone, why doesn't it recognize it like it did before I upgraded iTunes. I'm afaid I will lose all my apps, music, pictures etc. please help. thank you.

You are correct. Corrupted files are in the backup. If you've already restored the iPhone it has been erased and starting over is the way to go in order to eliminate the corrupted files.
Hope that helps

The same way it was done in every previous version.
Connect the device to the computer.
Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?
