My computer was stolen and I cannot transfer my music from my Iphone to a new PC with I-tunes.

I had all my music in my I-tunes library of a computer that was stolen. I bought a new PC and installed I-tunes. Even if I log in with my apple store account this new I-tunes does not accept a transfer between my iphone and my pc. And I cannot add new music to my i-phone from this new computer using I-tunes. I can do it using another software, but since we users of Iphone are stuck with Itunes, I want this new Itunes to recognize my iphone music library and let me use it.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks.

When syncing your iPhone to the new computer, it will want to erase and sync. This is because an iPhone can only be synced to one computer at a time. You can attempt to transfer purchases from the iPhone to your computer, but keep in mind that this will only transfer the music that was purchased from iTunes. Any other music that you have on your device will be lost during the syncing process. If you wish to transfer that music from the iPhone to the new computer as well, you will have to browse Google for some third party software that has been designed to do this. iTunes does not offer this ability, as this is to prevent digital piracy.
Hope this helps.

Connect it to your computer and restore it as a new device. Then chose what music you want to sync with it and do so just like your Touch does.

The way I do it is I hook to my windows computer, it will pop up iTunes. I click iTunes off. The phone will show as another drive on your computer. Click it open then migrate to the photos folder from the iPhone.
Then select all, cut then right click on your pictures folder on your computer or make a new folder on your desk top like I do and right click on new folder and select paste.
Photos will be gone. Just remember to turn off the iPhone sync in your photos folder on the phone or they will come back
Good Luck

Use the backup of the old computer and copy the iTunes files to the new one.
However, since you are writing here, you probably didn't have a backup, so check out this user provided support document https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Restore the songs from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

How do I transfer my music from my iPhone to my new Macbook Pro?

I'm wondering how I can transfer my music, etc from my iPhone to my new Macbook Pro?

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The syncis one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

HT1329 I have imported music files on my iPod Classic which I don't have on my old PC as it had less capacity than the iPod. I now have a new PC and want to transfer the music from the iPod to my new PC so that I have back ups. How can I do this?

How do I move music imported from my old CD collection onto my iPod, which I did not retain on my old PC as there was not enough memory. I no longer have all the CDs so cannot import them to my new PC, so want to copy them directly off my iPod Classic to my new PC.
How do I do that?
Thanks

You cannot do it (transfer song files from iPod to computer) using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download previous purchases using the iTunes Store Purchased screen).
However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can be used to transfer 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 new computer's hard drive, drag them (or the folder containing the files) to the iTunes window to add them to your new computer's iTunes library.

How to transfer music from my iPhone to my new mac book pro itunes

I would like to transfer my music from my iphone into my new macbook pro itunes

Questions:
Is the music from iTunes store or other source?
Do you have an iTunes or iCloud account?
What kind of Internet connection(s) do you have available?
If you have an iTunes account and purchased the music there, you can just make sure the new MacBook is using the same account as the phone and sync, or look at the Purchased list on the left side in iTunes on the Mac. You should see your past purchases there and they will download and play as needed.
If your music isn't iTunes purchased, I don't know how to do it... someone will.
What is your setup as far as iTunes?

Did you fail to maintain a backup copy?
If so, then you can buy a third party program to extract the music not purchased from itunes.
Itunes purchases can be transferred to your computer: File>Transfer Purchases.
