Ok, so I today i got a new computer because my old one suddenly crashed and was unable to get it fixed. I had my iTunes and my iPhone backup and everything on there. Now with this new computer I dont have anything and i never backed up anything. So my question is, is it possible to transfer my iTunes library on my iPhone to my new computer?? Please help!!!:eek:

1. Remove automatic syncing option in iTunes: Preferences > Devices > Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically = checked
2. Hook up your device to iTunes
3. Quickly cancel any sync operation if iTunes misbehaves
4. Right click device name and select "Transfer Purchases"

Good luck!

the only problem with that is that 99.9% of my library was not purchased on itunes

I haven't used iPhone explorer a lot, so you should poke around in it to see if it lists your playlists.

I use this program but it costs $20:

If iPhone explorer lists your playlists then you can copy playlist by playlist, but you'd have to get rid of duplicates manually. Same thing with iRip.
