Transfer itunes from iphone back to my computer

I've accidentally deleted my itunes library (which I was storing on an external hard drive). How can I transfer/recover my itunes library from my iphone back to my computer?

Anything your purchased from the iTunes store can be redownloaded on your computer.
In iTunes on your computer, go to the iTunes Store and on the main screen on the right under Quick Links select Purchased.
Any other music that you burned from CD's yourself, for example, can't be directly moved from the iPhone back to your computer.

Can you transfer data from iPhone back to your computer hardr drive?

Sadly, due to a computer virus, I had to wipe my computer HD clean. I've reinstalled Windows and most of my software, is there a way I can transfer my photo's from my iPhone back to my computer?
Thanks!

Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process is a one way transfer process only. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported.
Since I haven't heard that a Windows virus can be included with a jpeg file, did you include the photos store on your computer's hard drive with your computer's backup along with all other important data before wiping the hard drive due to the virus?
If not, there are 3rd party paid utilities available that provide transferring these photos in the opposite direction, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost.

Try taking a new picture with your iPhone then reconnect it to your computer.

My computer crashed and all my music is gone. Can i put the music from iPhone back on the computer?

my computer crashed and all my music is gone. Can i put the music from iPhone back on the computer?

Yes you can. There are few ways to do this, assuming that itunes with your library doesn't work anymore.
You can try with a freeware software for Windows named
iPhone PC Suite
Another way is to install on your iPhone an app that shares your music. I have one, it's called SongExporter.

Saving music from iphone back to my computer

My computer crashed and I lost all my music stored on my computer. How can I send the music stored on my iphone back to my computer? I'm wanting to save the music on my iphone so i can install the update on my Iphone. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

The iPhone is not meant to be a backup for your iTunes library. Hopefully you have made a backup elsewhere.
Only music that has been purchased from the iTunes store can be put back on your computer:
Open iTunes, File>Transfer Purchases from iPod.
All music not purchased from the iTunes store is unfortunately gone forever.

Transfer Photos from iPhone back to MAC

Need to get photos from iPhone back to my MAC - they are not iPhone photos. They were installed from iPhoto then hard drive crashed and pictures were lost. Now would like to get them back from iPhone. Can this be done?

This is not possible by default with an iPhone.
Keep in mind that photos transferred from a computer to an iPhone are optimized for viewing on an iPhone. If possible by some other means, the original resolution of the photos would be lost.
This is why maintaining a backup of the important data on your computer's hard drive is so very important. It isn't a matter of if, but when your computer's hard drive has a partial or complete failure.

Need help- How do I transfer iTunes from external/internal to new computer?

My old computer crashed. I have iTunes on an external drive, but not exported exactly as iTunes suggests in "back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive". I am following the directions from support "Restoring your iTunes library backup". Get all the way to "Choose Library", which I do, and then select iTunes folder. Step 7 says to click "choose". I click on the folder, because i do not have a "choose" button. Nothing happens, it just opens the file. If I connect my ipod it opens and a screen tells me I have to "erase and sync" because my ipod is synced with another library. Do I erase and sync? I'm scared of losing hours of music I copied from CD's. (I was able to transfer purchased music.) I have downloaded iTunes 9.0 on my new computer.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Well, I would skip the Firewire since it isn't essential. Connect the backup drive to your new Retina when it arrives, but before you turn it on for the first time. When you then turn it on you will begin in the Setup Assistant where you will have an opportunity to restore your files from a backup drive or another computer. Select the appropriate option. You can then restore (migrate) your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. Once that is completed when the computer restarts you will be all set up in your old Home folder.
Note that you will be transferring files over a USB connection. Depending upon how much data you are transferring this may take a very long time, so be patient. A USB drive's typical transfer rate is about 12 GBs/hour.

Transfer Playlist from iPhone 4 to Windows computer iTunes

I often edit/create playlists on my phone. Is there a way to transfer your playlists from your iphone to itunes on the computer? I have tried syncing, .xml file export/import, dragging and dropping - nothing works. Sync only copies iTunes to phone, not reverse. .xml file export / import imports the name of playlist, but no songs, and dragging and dropping did nothing at all (this was a shot in the dark). PLEASE HELP!

How transfer iTunes from iPhone to Computer

iTunes cautions me before I upgrade to newer software, that I have iTunes paid for on iPHone that should be "transferred" to my computer. But after synching repeatedly, I still get the same warning. What must I do to overcome this?

Transfer iTunes from iPhone onto new MacBook Pro...?

Many of my songs are...well, all of them are...not strictly speaking, downloaded from iTunes. Most of them I downloaded from mediafire, 4shared, etc...I recently purchased a MacBook Pro, and I'm trying to transfer all of my music that I downloaded onto my iPhone onto my MacBook, but it seems that syncing it won't do the task - either because the music is not back up on iTunes, or simply because of the way that the iPhone is configured (it has a different syncing process than a regular iPod). I looked up some answers on Google, but all of them require me to download programs, and I'm not sure I want to put my computer at that sort of risk. Is there an easy solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Paula

Why not post in the iPhone forums?

How can you transfer iTunes from an iPod to a computer?

I recently replaced the harddrive in my 12.1G4 and unfortunately also lost my back-up itunes file. How can I transfer the data from my iPod to the mother computer with the new harddrive? I have authorized the computer for my iTunes account, but itunes still shows the iPod is authorized to another computer.

iPods are not authorized or deauthorized.
It tells you it is synced with another iTunes library and asks what you want to do.
To copy the items off your iPod to iTunes, see this post by Zevoneer -> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11646661&#11646661

Transfer iTunes from old HDD to New Computer

My computer died and I have a new one and I want to transfer my itunes Library to the HDD of the new computer? I have the means to connect the old HDD to my new computer through the USB.

Hello lynton123,
It sounds like you have music that you want to transfer from your iPad to your new computer. You can use the Transfer Purchases function to get your iTunes and App Store purchases copied to your computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
Any media that you had imported to your previous iTunes library and synced to your device will have to be re imported to iTunes, and synced over again.
If you still have access to the computer that the iPad used to sync to, you can use this article to copy over the iTunes library from the original computer to the new one:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
