You can manually manage the contents between your devices and your computer. When you manage the transfer of contents between them, you can set the device not to automatically sync thus could make sure not automatically delete the contents that are in your iOS devices and replace them with the music you have in your itunes.
The more detailed instructions on how to configure your devices for manualy management can be found in the article that follows:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod

When I upload photos from iphoto or any other folder it overwrites all the existing photos in my ipad. is there a way to add to the existing library without deleting what's already in the library?
No, apart from using the emailing them, to yourself or using a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (in which case the photos will only go into the Saved Photos/Camera Roll album) or the camera connection kit (Imported album). You need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad in one go, as only the contents of the most recent sync remains on the iPad - not including photos in a sync is how you delete them from the iPad

Turn on iTunes home sharing. Then on the computer that you need to add music to just go the library with the files and drag and drop. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620

how do I get all my music from icloud to my itunes on my computer and my iphone and stop using icloud?
Hi,
You music is not in your iCloud account, it is in iTunes in the Cloud. Whether you use iCloud personally or not, it will not have an effect on the iTunes in the Cloud functionality. If you are using iTunes, then all of your purchases through iTunes will use iTunes in the Cloud as a backup for your purchases.
Cheers,

Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.
When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

I do not know how to get the music that I buy on itunes, on my mac, onto an ipod. I have already authorized my computer and "downloaded" my music, but that did not do anything, or provid the results that I was expecting, at least. Please, I really need to know how to do this on my own but I do not know what to do.Thank you in advance to anyone that is answering this question that I know most everyone but me knows how to accomplish. thanks!!!
In iTunes go to the Help menu in the upper menu bar. Then click on iTunes Help. Then on Sync your iPod, iPhone or iPad and follow the instructions.

I had downloaded all of my itunes library to my iphone from my home computer, My home computer crashed and all my itunes library was lost but it is still on my iphone. Is there a way that I can take all the music on my iphone that is all of my music from my itunes from my old computer and download it to my new computer that I have another itunes on? I tried to sync the music on my iphone to my itunes and I could not figure out a way to sync the music without erasing all of the music on my iphone. Does anyone have any suggestions?
For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work -
How do I transfer all my music FROM my iphone TO iTunes
how do I transfer all my music FROM my iphone TO iTunes
In iTunes, File>Transfer Purchases.
Anything not purchased from the iTunes store can not be transferred from the phone to a computer without purchasing 3rd party software to do so. It is not a backup device or data transfer device. -
How can I sync my iPad3 with my new computer's itunes without deleting all my music?
When I try to sync my music from my iTunes to my iPad3, itunes says that it will delete all my music, movies, etc currently on my iPad with what I have on my current iTunes. I have music and movies on here from at least one other computer using the same Apple ID. I was able to just highlight and drag all my music to my iPad (which caused a lot of duplicates), but my itunes really just does not want to cooperate with my iPad. Everything I try to do it just wants to either delete what I already have or not work at all.
You can sync your iOS device with a single iTunes Library. So if you sync your iPad with your present iTunes library all the music and videos would be deleted.
You can always transfer the media from your old iTunes library to the new one if they are on different commuter using a USB drive and then add those media to the new iTunes library and sync your iPad then. -
How can I fix this problem of finding the music that was lost since I restored my ipod classic. I still have some albums but some music is missing,
Hello lg3hree
Check out the first article to look on your computer for the music files themselves. If you had purchased anything from iTunes, you can just download the tracks from the iTunes store.

I need help. I would like to get all my music back. Thank you
For what silly reason would someone expect media to magically appear simply because they signed into iTunes?
Media is only where the user puts it.
Either copy the media from the old computer (or it's backup) to the new computer or download past purchases from iTunes.

HT1386 How can I transfer all my music from my iPhone to iTunes?
I just got a new computer forcing me to dowload iTunes all over again. I have all my music on my iPhone but i want to transfer it to my iTunes library. How can I do this? Every time i try to sync it, it says that all songs on my phone now will be replaced with the songs in the library...meaning since there is no music there that it would just be erasing all my music on my phone. PLEASE HELP. Thanks.
