Transfer playlists from my iPhone back onto my computer

Is it possible to transfer playlists from my iPhone back onto my computer.  They use to be on my computer but are now gone.  Thanks,

If you did not back up your iTunes library, the short answer is no, as the iPhone is designed to delete the music data when connecting to an new computer / hard drive.
.......however there are some 3rd party softwares designed to do this, and if you seek these out, they will likely work for you. 
Here is one I found by google searching - http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/index_irip1.php

  • 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

    You should copy everything (contacts/claendars/files/docs/pics/music/etc) from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

    My iTunes library has been replaced with my husband's iTunes library on our iMac. How do I get my iTunes library from my iPhone back onto my iTunes library on the iMac?  Help!!!

    Well, this is a problem, because the only material you can transfer from your iPhone (using only Apple software) is material you purchased in the iTunes Store.
    To do that, plug your iPhone into iTunes, then choose File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from iTunes' menu.
    Generally speaking, you should restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup.

  • Can I restore a playlist from my iPhone back into iTunes?

    My playlist disapeared from iTunes, but it is still in my iPhone.  Is there any way to restore my playlist from my iphone back into iTunes?

    iTunes is designed to 'sync' onto iPods, NOT the other way 'round. In order to copy content from an iPod back onto a computer, it requires a third-party utility (if you Google 'iTunes alternatives' you'll see many possible options]. Most of them are free.

  • HT4527 I just had to clear the hard drive on my computer - now I want to transfer all the music and pictures from my ipad back onto my computer.  'Sync' doesn't do it.  What do I do?

    I had toclear the hard drive of my computer and reinstall Windows 7.  Now I want to transfer all the music and photos from my iPad back onto my computer.  I authorized the computer (it is the ONLY computer authorized on this account - and this is the ONLY account on this iPad).  ITunes then downloaded my purchases...or at least it tried - out of the hundreds of tracks I have purchased, it managed one album that I bought over a year ago and NOTHING else.  So I tried to Sync - since on older versions of iTunes (that were SO MUCH MORE user friendly) that would do the job -transferring things that were only on the iPad onto the computer and vice versa.  It doesn't do that anymore.  So I went from my iPad's summary to the Music tab - the box for Music was not checked but when I checked it said the only thing it could do was erase EVERYTHING from my iPad and replace it with what was on my computer (that ONE album).  What is going on?
    Why hasn't iTunes downloaded my other purchases since I authorized the computer? (there are over 3,000 tracks...not 18)
    How can I download my iPad to my computer?

    -Me again - it also won't upload the few new pictures I have on the computer onto the iPad without deleting all the photos that are already there....

  • HT1473 My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone.  If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone.  Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes

    My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone.  If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone.  Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes?

    Thanks, but ringtones not purchased from iTunes, created them just before computer crashed.just before the next scheduled biweekly backup.
    I found and downloaded TouchCopy 12 for PC and was able to copy the ringtones from my iPhone to my Windows laptop very easily.  It also enables you to transfer photos, memos, voice messages, etc.

    Hello cgbuehling
    You can, but only the purchases that were made from the iTunes Store. Other content that was imported from a CD or other sources will not transfer over.

  • My itunes was deleted off of my computer. Is there any way I can get my music from my Ipod back onto my computer?

    Most of my music is from CDs that I don't have anymore. I've got over a thousand songs and most of them were deleted when my computer crashed. Is there any way I can get my music from my ipod back onto my computer? Any sort of program you can buy? Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it!

  • How do I transfer playlists from an iPhone 3GS to a PC?

    My PC hard drive died. I have figured out how to transfer purchases from my iPhone to my PC, but I can't figure out how to get my Playlists transferred.  Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks.

    Big Bopper, thanks for your continued help. Unfortunately the answer to your question is no. The first time I had plugged an iPhone of any variety into my PC was yesterday, and the only thing that happened when I did this was that iTunes told me I had to enter the access code to the iPhone before I could continue with iTunes. I did this and it all worked fine - except that I can't get photos through iTunes.
    (Sometimes I am asked this when I plug in my old-fashioned iPod Classic, and I usually cancel the invitation because I only need to organise my iPod through iTunes. But not for the iPhone.)
    I am coming to the conclusion that iTunes just can't be used to manage photos the way it can manage other medie (e.g. songs). I'm not sure why photos are singled out - as an aside, music from my wife's iPhone library synched without me doing anything, and I was surprised to discover today that after re-synching my iPod I had all of my wife's music collection on my iPod, but not her photos. So transferring music  isn't just easy, it's inevitable, but transferring photos is problematic at best (let's face it even if I could go through Windows Explorer to transfer photos, that still would be harder than the way iTunes deals with music). Which is odd given that a user is more likely to have copyright permission over their photos than over their music - you'd think it would be much harder to transfer songs, and pretty straight-forward to transfer photos!
    Anyway, thanks for trying to help. I think in this case there is a speed bump in Apple's famous seamless user experience!
