Loss of Music when updating iphone?

Long one Sorry


I have not updated my iphone for over 15 months (using 4.2.1).

Can not access previous laptop or previous synced account (stollen)

Have a new laptop with an itunes account that only has my itunes purchased songs on (not syned to iphone)

I have over 3000+ songs on my iphone

I would like to transfer these songs to my new itunes account on new laptop

However, when attempting to sync from phone, I am prompted to update my software to 6.... (whichever)

It also says that if I update I will lose all the music apart from the small amount on my itunes laptop account.


How can I transfer the music from my phone to my new laptop itunes account before I update the software?


My IT skills are beginner, so please explain in non tech speak if poss, any help is appreciated


Thanks

iPhone 4, iOS 4.2

Purchased content on your phone you can simply transfer to your iTunes library: your phone connected, iTunes running, without syncing, right-click the phone in the left device pane & select "Transfer Purchases".


Non-iTunes purchased content must be extracted from your phone using third-party software, like this:
