Replacing playlists from iPhone into new iTunes on new computer

My computer crashed. I was able to recover my itunes from the hard drive of the old computer and import them into the new itunes I've downloaded into my new computer. However, I have playlists on my iPhone which I want to put into the new itunes in new computer. Is there a way to force the new itunes to recognize existing playlists on the handheld device so as to avoid having to recreate the various play lists?

You cannot do that.  All you can transfer is the music you purchased in iTunes.  To do that, plug your iPhone into iTunes, and choose File > Device > Transfer Purchases from the iTunes menu.
The rest of your music will have to come either from your old computer's backup or the original sources (e.g., CDs) that were used to supply iTunes on the old machine.

  • Transfering songs from iphone into empty itunes library

    I have a desktop which has my itunes library and then I have a laptop with an empty itunes library. The songs from my desktop itunes is on my iphone. Can i get the songs from my iphone into the empty library on my laptop?

    Hi! Welcome to Apple Discussions Forum.
    If you have purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store, then those are pretty easy to transfer to your computer. You'll just need to follow [this instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465].
    All your other songs (for example, those ripped from your CD's), you'll need to use any 3rd party program to transfer them to your iTunes library!
    Some can also transfer your playlists, videos, ratings, podcast...

  • Hard drive crashed. how do I transfer from iphone 3gs to itunes on new computer?

    My hard drive crashed.  I installed iTunes on my new computer.  How do I transfer my information on iphone 3gs onto the new iTunes?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    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 your iphone.  Without syncing :  File>Transfer Purchases   Authorize your computer for your itunes account first.
    If you sync to a blank computer, then your contacts and calendars will be erased as well.  Another reason to always maintain a backup.
    Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer.  When you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.

  • PC broken - how do I get songs from iPhone 3G to iTunes in new PC?

    The laptop I had installed iTunes for my iPhone 3G on has gone to PC heaven so I have purchased a new laptop PC. Can I install iTunes on the new PC and connect my iPhone to it without deleting all the songs in my iPhone??
    The old laptop won't even switch on so I can't deauthorize it.
    Thanks in advance
    Santos

    *The old laptop won't even switch on so I can't deauthorize it.*
    You can't individually deauthorise 'dead' installations or computers you no longer have access. However once you reach the limit of 5 authorisations you'll have the option to deauthorise them all in one go from your iTunes account and start over. *Just note that you can only use this option once a year*: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • How to play songs from iPhone 3G in iTunes on the Computer

    Hello
    Maybe my question is some bit silly but I am also more than perplex at this moment. For storage reasons all my iTunes song files (no purchased songs from iTunes store, but all CD imported) are stored on a server volume.
    Syncing my iPhone 3G together on my PowerBook with iTunes works well but ... when I am on travel I would like to play (only to play, not to transfer!) the synced songs from my iPhone on my connected PowerBook on iTunes in order to stream the music to an Apple Airport Express Adapter. I can see the songs greyed out on my iPhone but I can not play them.
    Is there something wrong in my iTunes configuration or does I have missed an important "concept"? Do I really need to carry with me my iPhone together with an external HD drive where all songs files are stored on it? In this "application" case the iPod functionality of my iPhone 3G would be really useless. I can belief that.
    Thanks for any advice, best regards
    André

    Hello
    Thank you for your response. I would like to play the songs on my iPhone on the very same computer, account and iTunes Library I synced my iPhone with. Although there is no play access to the songs on my iPhone from iTunes. I thought I could take them with me and play the songs on my iPhone to the very same computer I synced it with. It Seems not to work as concept? So I think I have to buy a "stupid" docking station to make it complicate.
    Thank you, André

  • How to play music from iphone over my itunes on my computer?

    I have a lot of music on my iphone that I want to listen to at work. I have itunes on my work computer but cannot load that music to the computer itself. Is there a way to listen to the music on my iphone through itunes?

    No, there is not.
    Use a bluetooth speaker or speakers that connect to the headphone jack on the iPhone.

  • How do I import my songs I bought on my iphone into my itunes on my computer?

  • Transfer Music Ratings and Playlists from iPhone 5c to Macbook Air iTunes

    Hi,
    My iPhone 5c used to sync with my old Windows laptop via iTunes and both devices held all music information on them such as iTunes rating, playlist information and the selected songs to be synced (there are more songs on my iTunes on my laptop than my iPhone).   All of these songs are also saved on an external hard drive.  None were purchased through iTunes.
    When my old Windows laptop died, it died abruptly so I did not have chance to consolidate the iTunes media folder.  I have now bought a new MacBook Air to replace my old Windows laptop.
    When I plug in my iPhone 5c to my new MacBook Air, when iTunes offers to sync it advises all information on my iPhone will be lost.
    Is it possible to transfer the ratings and playlists from my iPhone to iTunes on my MacBook Air, at least for the corresponding songs that exist on my iPhone?  Note I have the original songs on an external hard drive so the song files themselves do not have to copy across.  All the files in the iPhone exist in the external hard drive.

    Below are the steps about how to transfer playlist from iphone to itunes:
    Step 1: To create a playlist on your iPhone or other iOS device, open the Music app and then tap on Playlists at the bottom left of the screen. Once there, tap on Add Playlist… at the top of the screen. Here you will be prompted to name your new playlist. Enter a name and then tap on Save.
    Step 2: Each song will have a blue “plus” sign to its right. Tap on the sign next to each song to add it to your new playlist. When you finish choosing songs, tap on Done at the top right of the screen to finish creating your playlist.
    Step 3: Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC either via a cable or wirelessly and click on it from the menu on the left pane.
    Step 4: From the tabs at the top of the iTunes Window, check the Sync Music option and also check the Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres. Then select the playlist you just created from the list below. To start syncing, click on the Apply button.
    Step 5: Syncing will then start and after it is complete, you will see that the playlist you just created on your iPhone is now also on iTunes under Playlists on the left pane of the iTunes window. Or vyou can use iPhone Transfer.
