Is it possible to move applications etc from the phone back into itunes

does anyone know how to move applications and ringtones notes etc etc back into the itunes ? i dont mean back up I have for example tom tom i uploaded onto my phone, however old pc died and now i have no apps other than on my phone, i would like to get them saved onthe pc in itunes

The iphone is not a back up device. The music/apps/movie sync is one way - computer to iphone.
The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases from itunes will move itunes purchases to your computer.
You should maintain a backup for this very reason.
You can also re-download apps (unlike music):

    How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?
    The music I want to move was in iTunes but is now just files. I had to reinstall a new iTunes and lost all my old music.
    Thank you!

    That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer.  It is not related to your question.
    You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window.  After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod.  You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

  • HT1473 My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone.  If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone.  Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes

    Thanks, but ringtones not purchased from iTunes, created them just before computer crashed.just before the next scheduled biweekly backup.
    I found and downloaded TouchCopy 12 for PC and was able to copy the ringtones from my iPhone to my Windows laptop very easily.  It also enables you to transfer photos, memos, voice messages, etc.

  • Can I restore a playlist from my iPhone back into iTunes?

    My playlist disapeared from iTunes, but it is still in my iPhone.  Is there any way to restore my playlist from my iphone back into iTunes?

    iTunes is designed to 'sync' onto iPods, NOT the other way 'round. In order to copy content from an iPod back onto a computer, it requires a third-party utility (if you Google 'iTunes alternatives' you'll see many possible options]. Most of them are free.

  • How do I get my music from a backup back into iTunes?

    Computer crashed.  I have a backup.  I just want to get my music back on my computer without doing a full reinstall.  How do I find what I need in the Time Machine or Time Capsule, whatever it is called? Can I still keep my playlists, etc?
    I am not super computer savvy, but I can work my way around. Simple instructions, please. I just need my music, so I can sync my iPhone.
    Thanks!

    It sounds to me like the option to  "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" was turned off in the iTunes -> Advanced preferences when you added the tracks from the flash drive, so iTunes left them on the flash drive rather than copying them to your computer's hard drive. Get Info on any of the tracks and see where iTunes thinks they should be located. If they're pointing to the flash drive, check that preference.
    If that is indeed the problem, you'll need to fix the location. You can do this track by track if there aren't too many, but if there are a number of them, it'll be easiest to remove them from the iTunes library, fix the above-mentioned preference, and add the tracks again. Or you can just keep the flash drive connected to your computer, but that's probably not ideal.
    Regards.

  • How can I move my media from the Apple TV to ITunes?

    I have a lot of purchused content that did not download to my itunes on my computer and I do not want to lose it. What can I do?

    It sounds like you might have your Apple TV set up for streaming, rather than syncing.  On your Apple TV (this is for the old version, but it may be the same on the newer one), you go to the heading all the way on the right to the "Settings" menu.  Choose "computers".  If you have a "shared" library, you'll want to remove this.  Once you have done this, you'll want to sync with iTunes (I believe it is similar to this, do not choose "Add shared iTunes Library", the only other choice).  Apple TV will provide you with a code, which you will enter on your computer.  At that point, it will automatically start syncing all your stuff off your Apple TV to your computer (make sure you have a lot of room on your HD).  It also automatically will sync a certain number of items to play directly from your ATV, rather than your home directory - however, if you sync it so that nothing is on your ATV (and nothing syncs to your ATV) then all of your content will show up in "MY ..." under the item (i.e. TV shows, Movies, Music....)  Anything you buy on your ATV will automatically sync with your computer and be removed from the ATV after it is done downloading. 
    If you don't have room for everything, then you'll have to use do the reverse of the above, and after syncing some of your stuff to your computer, remove the library, and re add it back as a "shared iTunes Library", which will allow you to see those items on your computer when it is on, and itunes is running (this is true regardless).

  • How do you move POP3 email from the iPhone back to the server or computer?

    Is there any way to get email that was downloaded to the iPhone using POP3 back on the server or computer? (other than resending all the mail)

    You're welcome.
    Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is really designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
    I access a MobileMe account and a business POP account with the iPhone's mail client. Since an IMAP account is designed to be accessed with more than one email client keeping all server stored mailboxes synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account, accessing an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client is much more preferable to me. All sent messages are available with each email email client used to access the account. Read a received message with the iPhone's mail client and the message will be marked as read automatically when checking the account with the email client on my computer and vice-versa. I create additional server stored mailboxes to store received and sent messages by category and I can transfer messages from the account's Inbox or Sent mailbox to the designated server stored mailbox with the iPhone's mail client, with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
    If messages were removed from the server with the email client used on your computer to access the account - transferred to a mailbox stored locally on your hard drive, you can transfer the messages back to the designated server stored mailbox.
    Need to delete and recreate the account with your iPhone's mail client, or need to restore your iPhone with iTunes, all messages that don't remain on the server will be lost with a POP account including all messages sent with the account from the iPhone - which can be stored locally on the iPhone only unless you always Bcc yourself with every sent message.
    Delete and recreate an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client and all server stored mailboxes and the messages within will be available again automatically.
    IMAP account access is the way to go with the iPhone IMO.

  • HT1766 I'm trying to update my iphone 4.  I've put everything from the pho          ne into itunes for backup.  I can see that the updated OS is on the phone, but only for a second until the phone asks me again how I want to restore my stuff.  three times

    I'm updating my iphone 4.  I can see that the update has been installed on the phone, but only for a second before it asks me to restore/back up from iCloud or iTunes, which I've done THREE times.  It has to be something really simple...please HELP

    Restore as a NEW device to test. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.
