Yes you can. There are few ways to do this, assuming that itunes with your library doesn't work anymore.
You can try with a freeware software for Windows named
iPhone PC Suite
Another way is to install on your iPhone an app that shares your music. I have one, it's called SongExporter.

HT1848 How do I tranfers playlist and all my music from my IPOD Touch to my pc?

How do I tranfer playlist and all my music from my Ipod Touch to my pc?

Simply select only the Music that you want to sync to the iPad in iTunes. I assume that you auto sync.
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes if it does not start on its own. Assuming that you do auto sync, let the process complete. Click on your iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Music Tab in the iTunes window on the right side. Click on all of the albums, playlist, artists, - whatever - that you want to sync to the iPad, uncheck the music that you do not want to sync, make sure that the Sync Music heading is selected - and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

Computer crashed and got a new one, but can't access previous purchases from iTunes.

My PC crashed and I got a Mac, I can't get my old purchases from the iTunes store onto my new computer. Is there a way to get my purchases from the iTunes store on my new computer? It's showing all the songs/videos I bought but I can't access them.

Welcome to the club

When you purchase content from the iTunes Store it's downloaded to the storage/hard drive of the computer you purchased them on. You should have made a backup like iTunes warns you to do.
However there is some hope, I can instruct you how to recover your content from the hard drive of the dead PC, provided the hard drive ITSELF still mechanically works and if your willing to perhaps spend some money and get your hands a bit dirty.
Recovery option:
I'm going to assume here that the PC is dead, either mechanically or the computer won't boot from the hard drive and you are willing to extract the hard drive from the computer and see if it works to get your data off.
Be gentle, disconnect the power and remove the battery before carefully opening up the PC to remove the drive.
Once you got the drive out there is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
Your attempting to access a Windows NTFS drive from a Mac which can't read it, you need Paragons's NTFS for Mac® OS X software installed on the Mac first before hooking up the NTFS Windows formatted drive.
Once you do that, you should be able to navigate to your Windows/Music folder and transfer the whole iTunes folder directly to the Mac desktop and also recover any other files you need as well.
Good Luck

I recently bought a new computer, downloaded itunes and all my music from the cloud, made a few more purchases on itunes then plugged in my ipod and it wont sync. My ipod is already associated with my itunes account and the computer is authorised...

I have a new laptop which will not sync my ipod to it. I've registered the computer, this is the only ipod associated with this itunes account. It shows the syncing symbol on the laptop and on the ipod but then when i eject the ipod afterwards the new songs have not transfered or my playlists.

What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account." The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases. It is also used with iCloud. iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod. If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked). If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod. When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library. Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want). Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists. Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

HT201317 my computer crashed and all my photos are gone. i need the last backup on photostream but it is over 30 days. is there anyway to contact apple to retrieve the photos?

SOS
photos gone unless there is some way to retrieve photostream over 30 days. please please tell there is.

this seems like it might work for me. i just want to make sure i am doing things right. so, forgive me for my ignorance but i need to know what the difference is between the two backups. my iphone 5 was backed up today via itunes. i also have two older backups under my icloud account. i need to reset my iphone and erase all current content so i can restore info from one of the backups under my icloud
account in hopes of finding some lost pictures. once i do that i would like my phone to return to the current state it is in restoring the backup i did today via itunes.
i just don't want to mess up anything. so, i am asking what's the difference between an itunes backup and an icloud backup for iphone?

My pc failed and I lost my iTunes library completely. How do I transfer all my music from iPhone to iTunes?

How do I import my music from the iPhone to iTunes? Like I said my pc crashed and I had to re-download iTunes. My library was gone. I am now hoping I can get it back since I still have everything on the iPhone....

Connect the iPhone to your Mac, launch iTunes.
From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer

Computer crashed need to transfer music from iphone

My computer crashed and I need to transfer my music and playlists from my iphone 4 to a new laptop. How do I do this? Thanks!

HT201269 I've just got a new phone and all my music from my old phone isn't working.

The list of available music is shorter, for a start, so I don't know where it's all gone. But even the songs that are there won't play. When I push play, it just skips past as if there's no file to read. And then the same for the next song and the next.... It won't play any song in the list.
What's going on and how do I fix it?

With a new device you need to apply some sync settings as in your case it would be music. The link below can provide you with some info on this:

Once sync settings have been applied your iPhone should sync data automatically based on the settings that have been applied.
Hope this helps

My old computer has crashed. My new computer has my iphone account. How can I transfer my playlist from my ipod to my new computer?

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

UP-LOADING PHOTOS & RIPPED MUSIC FROM IPHONE BACK TO COMPUTER

My computer crashed and I lost everything, but thankfully my iPhone has all the photo's and music albums stored on file. The problem is, I can't find a way of re-installing that data back onto my computer! I have managed to re-install music I purchased on the Apple site, but there is no facility available that I can locate that allows my photo's and ripped albums to be re-installed back onto the computer.
Please help!

That's because Apple makes no provision to do what you want. It's expected that you maintain a backup of your music, photos, and other data. The iphone is not a backup device. You can recover this data, but you will have to use third party software to do so. Bear in mind, photos synced to your phone were reduced in resolution for display on the iphones screen. There is no way to recover their original resolution if you did not make a backup of your computers data.

Saving music from iphone back to my computer

My computer crashed and I lost all my music stored on my computer. How can I send the music stored on my iphone back to my computer? I'm wanting to save the music on my iphone so i can install the update on my Iphone. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

The iPhone is not meant to be a backup for your iTunes library. Hopefully you have made a backup elsewhere.
Only music that has been purchased from the iTunes store can be put back on your computer:
Open iTunes, File>Transfer Purchases from iPod.
All music not purchased from the iTunes store is unfortunately gone forever.
