How do I transfer music or playlists from my iPhone to a computer?

Thanks to developer Chris Devor, you can now easily transfer music from an iPhone or iPod directly to any computer using Pod to PC. This freeware transfers music, videos and podcasts from your device to your computer and into iTunes.

Music and playlists, along with track ratings, are recovered and Pod to PC will even tell you if there are duplicate entries already in your iTunes library. To begin, download and install Pod to PC on your computer. Mac users can download and install Pod to Mac.

First of all, connect your iPhone to the computer, and run Pod to PC. Make sure that iTunes is NOT running simultaneously with Pod to PC.

Pod to PC should now be showing playlists and device information in the Summary tab. Preferences can be changed using the Edit -> Options menu. Default settings will save iTunes playlist import files to the desktop, and music tracks to the iTunes directory on the computer.

To simply transfer all tracks not already in iTunes click the Automatic Transfer button. A dialog box will summarize how many files are going to be transferred and where the iTunes playlist import file will be saved. Click OK and Pod to PC goes to work.

The Music and Video Track Transfer tab makes it possible to manually transfer selected files. Files already in your iTunes library are indicated with a blue check. Other files show a yellow star. When the files you wish to transfer are selected click the Transfer button.

Finally, the iTunes playlist import file can be used to import the songs you've transferred into iTunes. After exiting Pod to PC and disconnecting your iPhone, run iTunes and select File -> Library -> Import Playlist. Select the playlist file generated by Pod to PC, and iTunes will create a playlist for the transferred files. Your iPhone music is now accessible on your computer using iTunes.

Of course, it's not free, you have to pay for money for this app. And there are some other more famous apps you can choose, and some of them provide you the free trial, such as AnyTrans.

Don't just try only one app, you'd better compare them on different aspects.

Actually, there is a way when transferring your iPhone with iTunes to avoid having all of your apps rearranged on the home screen.
In step #3, after you tick the "Sync Apps" box, Close iTunes itself.
If you are prompted when exiting to "Apply" and/or "Delete", click those buttons.
Open iTunes again, and perform a Sync of the device.
Not only will all your apps be synced, you will not have to rearrange your apps and/or groups on your device's screens

PS: The iPhone file tree isn't the easiest to navigate, but its not too hard to find the music and pictures/videos. The folders and files will look like this "0010101ffafadfj10" but after you drag everything back into itunes everything will just as it was on your phone, including the songs you ripped yourself. 10/23/12 6:53pm

Apple, true to form, makes it simple to put media and files on your iOS devices but the road really only goes one way. It can be pretty difficult to copy anything (or everything) back to your computer without a lot of trouble and sacrifice, but it's even harder to find a good, free solution to that problem amongst the many choices available.
You can find the solution here! Transfer music from iPhone to PC. Use FonePaw iOS Transfer.

Nowadays, there is no need to rely on iTunes to transfer photos from your iPhone to PC. Throughout the marketplace, there are many easy-to-use tools available, and they can help complete the transfer process easily. I highly recommend IOTransfer (http://www.iotransfer.net). Use IOtransfer to safely transfer photos between your Apple devices and PC/Mac with just one click.
