Transfer content from iPhone to iTunes

Today I downgraded my mac system from Yosemite back to Mavericks. I did a completely clean install.
Now, my iPhone is full of data (photos, iTunes U content, audiobooks, apps) and I don't know how to synchronize this with a new library in iTunes.
Anything I want to sync says that it will erase content on my iPhone but that is definitely not I want. I already transferred purchases (this synced apps but no other content). How can I make iTunes cooperate with iPhone? How can I copy all the data from my iPhone to the iTunes library?
Thanks

Two ways:
#1 (the best) you can no longer do because it sounds like you didn't make a backup of your iTunes library before doing all this or what you are trying to do would not be necessary.
#2 is buy third party commercial software which lets you transfer items from a phone to a computer.  This will only restore the media files and may not always do a very good job of it.  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 different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media 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.

For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes on MacBook Pro?

    I'm an idiot.  I'm just going to say that up front.  I feel that's fair for all who venture here.
    I've had a terrible time with an update..and I wasn't able to get iTunes to acknowledge/recognize my iPhone or iPod once I ran and installed the current update.  While trying to get my iPhone/iPod to be recognized, I did a lot of removing/uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes.  During this mess.....I somehow DELETED MY ENTIRE iTunes LIBRARY!!!  The whole thing.  I have no idea how.
    I thought I had been backing up....and thought I had Time Machine so I was safe.  I was wrong.  I won't even ask about Time Machine here....I've already disclosed I'm an idiot. 
    I am finally able to get iTunes to acknowledge my iPhone.  Thank goodness.  But, now......I have Songs and Playlists on my iPhone that aren't on iTunes.
    Is there any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes? 
    Thanks!

    You can recover any purchased songs that are on iPhones using the procedure here.
    If this is not available, you can ask Apple to allow you to download your music again. Note that, first, they DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. Purchase of music from the iTunes store entitles you to one download of that item. Second, note that if Apple does allow you to download a second time, they have to pay royalties on each download, whether you pay for it or not. Last, if they allow it, please back up your purchases.
    To request a redownload, contact iTunes support from the menus in iTunes or use this page.
    Best of luck.

    Trying to transfer purchases from iphone into itunes I keep getting error that computer is not authorized.  But it IS authorized,  any suggestions?  Thanks,

    It's a straightforward port-forwarding issue.
    You need to forward ports to the internal ip address of your apple tv as follows:
    TCP 123
    TCP 3689
    UDP 5353
    TCP 80
    TCP 4343
    TCP 53
    This may also solve other problems you may have with homesharing...

    any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

  • Easiest way to transfer songs from iPhone to iTunes?

    I've purchased at least 50 songs directly from my iPhone. Now, of course, I need to transfer those songs to my iTunes w/out running the risk of having my iTunes music library replace my iPhone playlist. Anyway, I tried a free product called iPod Access, but I had a problem (most of my songs didn't appear on the IPod Access list). Is there an easier way to do this?
    Thanks

    No--I went to "Preferences" and changed that (this is what the Ipod Access directions indicated that I should do).

  • How to transfer music from iPhone to iTunes?

    I recently made the switch from PC to mac. I'm loving it so far except I have one problem; I can't get my music from my iPhone onto iTunes. Not all of my music was purchased from the iTunes store so I can't just retrieve it using my apple id. The computer that had all the music saved crashed so I couldn't transfer the music with an external drive. I was told I would have to use a third party software in order to transfer my music from my iPhone to the iTunes. I have downloaded a bunch and they are all trial versions that have a limit to the number of songs I am able to transfer. Does anyone know of any free softwares that can do this?

    if you want the music, you'll have to pay in order to do that http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php

  • How to transfer music from iPhone to iTunes library

    I noticed my options for syncing my music between my iPhone and iTunes is limited to iTunes purchases. I can transfer purchases from my phone to my library, but what do I do about my music from CDs? How do I transfer my songs and playlists from my iPhone to my libary? I used a different computer to get my songs from the CDs to my iPhone, and I am not about to go hunting down those disks deep in the storage closet in my basement when I have them right here on my iPhone. If I have to transfer the songs as files into a folder to then transfer back into Itunes, what audio format do I use? How can I see what format my existing songs are?

    you could use 3rd party apps such as PhoneView and iRip.
