Have you not got a backup of your content on external drives and/or CDs/DVD ? If so then you can copy that onto the computer and load them into iTunes. Have you tried doing File > Transfer Purchases in iTunes with the phone connected to see if any of you purchases transfer over ? If you are in the US then you should also be able to re-download past music purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you havn't bothered backing up your content then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned on this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

  • How do i drag my music from a Folder to the new itunes without getting the no sign?

    Ok i downloaded the new itunes, So i could sync my ipod touch; Now I synced my ipod, I wanna drag new music over from my folders to my library like i used to, but now i get a no signal (A circle with a line through it) How do i drag my music over without getting the no sign?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer. iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.

  • How can I get my email access back after downloading the new iTunes on my iPhone?

    Yesterday I downloaded the latest iTunes 11.01.12 on my PC (Windows 7), then sync'ed to my iPhone G4.  Now when I try to access one of my email accts, I get the message: "The mail server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding..."  I have checked the acct info in Mail settings and all seems in order (IMAP Path Prefix is blank, Server Port is 993).  Strangely, my other email acct (also gmail) is working.  I have tried restarting, re-

    What is a "G4" iPhone?  No such thing exists.
    Regardless, installing iTunes on the computer has no affect on being able to access an email account on an iPhone.

  • My iPhone software crashed, how do I get my music from m phone onto itunes on my computer?

    My iPhone software crashed and I had to get a new phone. I had a lot of song purchases on my phone from iTunes. I authorized this computer with my iTunes but I am unable to recover my songs that were on my phone. How am I able to get those songs back?

  • How do i get my ipod to show up in the new itunes

    I just recently got a new computer and just installed the latest version of iTunes, and I also updated the software for my iPod.  Now my iPod won't show up in my iTunes or in mycomputer. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

    If you don't see anything when you connect your ipod it's meybe something wrong with the USB cable, If you have another you can try that.
    try to shut down or restart your ipod and then connect it.

  • How do i get my music from my iPod onto a new itunes library?

    My dad accidentally restored our computer and i can't sync my iPod because itunes says that it is "synced" with a now non existent itunes library. i can transfer purchases, but some of the music is from CD's i have purchased or some of it has just dissapeared from purchased due to new computers and such. please help. i just want all my music safely on my computer so i can sync it again....

    - You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Then after all the stuff is on the cmputr, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking one the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

    My old computer has crashed with my old itunes on it. How can I transfer my music from my iphone to my new itunes library?

    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

  • How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?

    How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?

    Are you syncing to a different computer?  Iphone will sycn with only one at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Otherwise, just select what you want to be on the iphone under the music tab and sync.  What do you care if it erases?  You will be syncing what you want to the iphone.
