Because putting them onto the computer is a separate process.

I had my laptop repossesed and it had all my bak up from my iphone 4 on it i have a new computer but i cant put all my pics vids apps and songs on my itunes i really need help with this because alot of the photos and stuff i have on my iphone are sentimental as are the songs which all havnt been purchased through itunes please tell me there is a way to do this??//
Set the iTunes to prevent automatic syncing before you plug it in the first time. You should be able to extract any photos in the camera roll as you would from any other camera. You can transfer purchases to get anything you actually purchased from the iTunes store off the phone and into iTunes. Made sure you have at least 1 contact in whatever application you intend to sync contacts to. This will give you the option to merge them. If you don't, the phone will be overwritten with the blank address book from the computer.
As for extracting anything else, media sync is meant to be 1 way only. Computer>iPhone.
As for media that wasn't purchased on the phone, you can try a 3rd party program that 'may' be able to extract it, but this isn't sanctioned or supported by Apple in any way. Technically, you're out of luck if you don't have a backup from the computer that was repossesed. -
Hey there, I have an iPhone 3g that was synced to my computer. My computer got stolen with all my music on it. I have a new computer but I can't sync my computer to my iPhone. How can I recover everything that's on my iPhone 3g to my computer?
If your backup copy of your computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.
Otherwise, authorize your computer for your itunes account, connect iphone, do not sync, Click: File>Transfer Purchases
This will transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer.
Enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data. -

HT201272 Help! I have a new computer but can't download any purchases?
Help! I have a new computer but can't download any of my purchases from last few years? Is there a solution? I have no current iPad/iPhone/iPod.
Make sure you authorize your new computer and deauthorize your dead computer.
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
Once done, see if you can redownload your purchases after,
Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Hope this helps. -
I wiped my ipod classic and then my computer crashed, so i no longer have the songs i purchsed from itunes on my ipod or computer! I have a new computer now with itunes installed, can I get the songs purchased previously from itunes somehow?
Yes, you can!(:
STEP 1: Open iTunes
STEP 2: Navigate to the "iTunes Store". It can be found under the "STORE" tab.
STEP 3: On the right side of the store there should be a "Quick Links" Section. Click on the "Purchased" link.
STEP 4: Navigate to the "Music" tab and click on "All Songs". Then at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says "Download All". Click the button and your songs will be begin downloading!
NOTE: This will only work with songs that you bought from the iTunes store, if you imported them from a CD, you will have to do it again.
NOTE: You can also do this with Apps, Movies, TV Shows, and Books.
NOTE: You may have to sign in with your Apple ID to verify the download.
Hope this helped! Enjoy your music!(: -
I have a new computer but am unable to transfer i-photo library form previous computer to the new one. l
I've tried to copy the library from the old computer to an external drive, and have been successful, however, how do I transfer this new copied library to the new computer's library. Unless I plug the external drive in the new computer, i-photo displays only what's in the external drive (copy of i-photo library in original computer). How can i transfer this file from the external drive to the new library in the new computer?Link the two Macs together.
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine. Use drag and drop, not copy and paste.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else. -

I have downloaded an album in to my iTunes library. And put it in a playlist on my computer.
But I can't get it to sync with my iPad. The other albums and songs are on the playlist, but not this one album for some reason.
The album shows up on my iPad as an album just fine, but isn't included in the playlist like it is on my computer.
Why won't it show up on my iPad playlist?Hello William,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you would like to delete some songs off of your iPad. I have a couple of suggestions.
First, I recommend swiping the individual songs on the album to get the delete option:
Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete.
If the you are not getting a delete option and song has a cloud icon to the right of it, this indicates the song is being streamed from iTunes in the Cloud.
You can choose to hide all songs that are not downloaded on to your iPad in Settings:
Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
iPad User Guide - iTunes Match
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad99f373c1
Alternatively, if the song was purchased from iTunes, you can hide the song by accessing the iTunes Store on the computer:
To hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
You will need to quit and relaunch the Music app on your iPad after hiding the purchase on your computer before seeing the changes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Is there a way to transfer all songs including the ones downloaded from cds on to a new computer?
I have just downloaded itunes on to a new laptop and when I have tried to tranfer the songs from my ipod on to it I was only able to tranfer the songs that i had purchased through itunes.
Is there any way of transfering the songs that are on my ipod the weren't purchased through itunes?Ideally you would transfer you working library, or a backup of it, from your old computer to your new one. If that's not possible then...
