My old computer crashed, i have a new computer, is there anyway to transfer the itunes library from my iphone to my new computer?

Help! My old computer crashed, and I have a bunch of music that I don't have on cd any longer, is there anyway to move the library I have on my iPhone now to my new computer I just bought?

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 and contents, you may have to use a third party software to copy over. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • I recently had to do a complete system restore how do i transfer my itunes library from my iphone back onto my computer

    I recently had to do a complete system restore on my computer. How do i transfer the itunes content from my iphone back onto my computer?

    You don't.
    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
    The iphone is not a backup device.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a  backup copy of your computer. Certainly you did not restore your system without making sure that your backup copy was up to date.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good) then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How to transfer an iTunes library from an iPhone to a new Macbook Air

    I just received a new macbook air and I would like to transfer the music from my iPhone to my new laptop. My old laptop that contained my itunes library is dead so I don't know how to get the music from my iPhone onto my new computer.

    Is the music you want on your new Mac all purchased music via iTunes?
    If so, then you can log into the iTunes Store on your Mac, and then on the right side, click on Purchased under Quick Links. Then click on All Songs, and Not on This Computer. You will see all of your purchased iTunes music listed with a little cloud next to each song. You can download songs individually, or go to the bottom and click on Download All.
    Cheers,

  • Can I transfer my itunes library from my ipod to my new imac?  If so how is it done?

    Can I transfer my itunes library from my ipod to my new imac?  If so how is it done?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Of course. The best would be to transfer the iTunes library from your old Mac or PC to the new Mac, so you will keep everything and you won't have to use any third-party app.
    Anyway, if you don't have access to the old PC or Mac, you can transfer songs from the iPod to your Mac. If you purchased all the songs on the iTunes Store, just open iTunes, connect the iPod and transfer the songs. If you are using an iPod touch, you will lose everything if you sync it with iTunes on the new iMac.
    Another method is to use an app like Senuti to transfer the songs to iTunes, being a safer way to transfer them if you aren't sure that you will lose your songs

  • Is there anyway to export the iPod metadata from my iPhone 4? I don't need the music, I have that on an external hard drive, but my backup got wiped out and I need the metadata.

    Is there anyway to export the iPod metadata from my iPhone 4? I don't need the music, I have that on an external hard drive, but my backup got wiped out and I need the metadata.

    Okay, so I had to re-install iTunes. My iTunes library is currently empty. I can make a new back up and the location of the songs not having changed, these will be available in my library?

  • HT4527 How can I transfer my iTunes library from my iPad to my new computer?

    My hard drive crashed without recent backup and I would like to transfer my iTunes library from my iPad to the new hard drive. Some tunes transferred and some didn't. Thanks.

    Non-iTunes purchases cannot be transferred from an iDevice to computer via iTunes.
    The simplest solution is to simply move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.  Why anyone would choose to make life more difficult by screwing around with transferring purchases from an iDevice and using 3rd party software to extract non-iTunes purchases is beyond me. 
    IF for some reason there is no backup of the old computer and/or the old computer is no longer accessible, then try google for solutions.
    Do yourself a favor going forward, backup your media and other important data.

  • Restoring the iTunes library from an iPad to a "new" macbook pro

    Hi! Really need help here, so this is what happened:
    The hard disk of my macbook pro crashed and I sent it for repair.
    After the repair, all the data e.g. itunes library, iphotos library
    are gone (sigh, i didnt do a backup at all)
    So now, the macbook pro is technically "new" and thankfully everything in my itunes library
    is still intact in my iPad. I'm trying to sync it back to the mac. Well thats the only way for me to restore the whole library
    Is this possible? Please let me know how to do it
    MANY MANY THANKS!!!!

  • Brand new to Mac.  Need to transfer my Itunes library from my PC to my Mac

    I am brand new to the Mac world and very happy to be a part after my long trip with PC. I just recieved my new macbook pro and I am trying to find the best way to transfer my music library from my PC to my Mac. I also just purchased a new Itouch as well. I have not done anything with it yet and I was thinking it would be better to wait until I get my library situated with the macbook to do so?
    Any help or advice would be a great help... I am completely lost. Everything that I have seen so far is more approachable to the point where it throws you off kilter!
    Cheers!

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from my iPhone 3GS to my new computer (old computer died)

    I have an iPhone 3GS 32GB with 20GB of music on it from a previous computer's iTunes library.  I bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio with Windows 7) and downloaded iTunes (v10.5.3.3 and latest iOS on the iPhone).  iTunes lets me transfer purchases back to the laptop but not non-purchased material (i.e. stuff I imported from CDs I own).  Is there any way of transferring ALL the material back to the new laptop without re-copying every CD again?
    I tried to follow the manual management option, but Windows Explorer only recognises my iPhone as Internal Storage for the camera files.
    I spent hours today reading forums/communities to help me overcome the problem and to avoid asking a repeat question but nothing seems to have worked.  I can't believe I'm the only one with this problem.
    Thanks

    " iTunes lets me transfer purchases back to the laptop but not non-purchased material (i.e. stuff I imported from CDs I own)."
    That is correct.  The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.  the iphone is not a backup device and does not function as a storage drive.
    it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.n  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How to transfer my iTunes library from a hard disc to new computer?

    Could anybody help me with this issue? I've tried everything I could without any succes...
    My computer where I had my iTunes library (complete with many info and ratings) crashed and I lost all my archives. Luckly I had a copy of everything in an external hard disc. My iPod works fine with all the songs from that library. I bought a new computer, but now I cannot transfer the data of the library from the hard disc to the new computer.
    I'd really appreciate if somebody could help me...
    Many thanks, Rui

    Great! Very simple actually (once you know). The library is now corrected listed on iTunes, with my original playlists and the ratings.
    But now how do I bring the music files? I've tried to import them from the hard disk, but iTunes didn't synchronize with the ones listed on the library, so there are duplicates of all songs and the ones I can play are not the ones on my playlists and with the ratings.
    Do you have another brilliant solution?
    Thanks in advance

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from nonworking PC to my new PC?

    We had an old PC that crashed and now we can't get to our library through iTunes. Can I do it with just the iPod Touch 2nd gen? or do I have to resink or 100 cd library???? Please help! They have a way to do it in the iTunes support but that is with the old working computer with the library.

    No backup is a big mistake.
    "If I sync the ipod to my computer will it delete the music on the ipod? "
    yes.
    As provided in my first post, you can transfer itunes purchases from ipod to comuter.
