Computer crashed-all info lost. Re-installed iTunes,

Computer crashed and had to re-install everything. I did not make a backup disc of the iTunes library, which contained alot of uploaded CD's, that we no longer have.
In order to sync new music we would have to competely erase the ipod content and will lose all uploaded things. I also can not edit anything on my ipod, like removing stupid apps that were downloaded.
So we are stuck with not being able to download new music with out losing the majority of our music library.
We have 3 iPod touches, and one 5th generation iPod nano. Working with a PC, Windows Vista
Please say there is a solution!

If all your media (apps, music, videos, synced photos) are on the computer/iTunes library and the computer is authorized for the iTunes accounts and iTunes is logged into the appropriate account, then connect each device to the computer and make a backup by right clcicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore from that backup.

Once I connect my iPhone to the computer to sync., the computer crashes. I unistalled and installed iTunes, still I get the same results. If I disconnect the iPhone from the computer, iTune will work, I therefore uninstalled the iTune from my computer.

Once I connect my iPhone to the compjuter to sync., the computer crashes, and continues to reboot as long as the charge cable is connect between the iPhone and the computer, once I disconnect it, then the computer and iTunes will function normally.
I had uninstalled and reinstalled the iTunes 3 different times, still I am getting the same results, I therefore had to uninstall the iTune from my computer to be able to do my work, and charge the iPhone at the same time. Please note that few weeks ago, everything was working fine.
What can I do to resolve this issue.
Thank you.

If you have photos in the Camera Roll on your iPhone and have preferences set to open an image azure application on your pc when a camera is connected, your pc will do just that. That's how one transfers photos taken with the phone to a PC.
You can do two things to avoid this.
1. Just quit the image capture application and open iTunes. You do have iTunes 10.7 or higher installed on your pc, right?
2. You can change the preferences on your pc to do nothing when a camera is connected. And you can set the preference in iTunes to open iTunes when your iPhone is connected.

My computer crashed and I lost my itunes library. How can I save the sons that are current on my ipod if I plug into a new computer and restore itunes?

Ipod syncing is not one way. You just have to know what to do...
I can see you use windows. Connect ipod to pc, but don't install or dont open itunes - dont alow itunes to sync automaticly). Then open explorer, enable hidden files, open your ipod (as you would any disc) open hidden file with strange names and copy all of them on your new hard drive. Then drag all this strange-named files in your itunes...woooo...now those strange names become your songs...it is magick

My old computer crashed and I lost my old library of recorded CD's and new music. I downloaded iTunes again and found my old account info. How do I add a new CD without deleting all of my music on my iPod?

My old Computer crashed and I lost my old library of recorded CD's and tunes. iTunes says I must delete everything off my iPod in order to add a new CD. It also said I already have an account which I was able to locate. I don't know how to get into my old account. I think that would solve everything. I have Windows XP. I'd appreciate any input.

No.
All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
The same applies here.

HT203167 My computer crashed and i lost all my Itunes media ?!

Recently my computer crashed and I lost all my Itunes Media...I have absolutely no idea what I should do ?!
Could somebody tell me what to do ?

If you have a backup to an external hard disk, then install iTunes and place the backup of C:\users\????\Music\iTunes back into that folder. If you need to redownload old purchases, then go into iTunes and go store -> purchased -> download previous purchases and that will at least get you what you bought from Apple. If you could elaborate on what kind of crash, I might be able to recommend a few other things, but that would be less Apple support and more data recovery.

Can I transfer music from my iPod touch that was originally burned from CD's or does it only transfer music purchased from Itunes? My computer crashed and I lost all of my music?

My computer crashed and I lost all of my music. I have music still on my Ipod touch but a lot of it was originally burned from CD's onto my computer. Is there any way to transfer this music back to a new computer or will I need to re-burn each individual CD again to get this onto the new computer?

- For other music you will need a third-party program like one fo those discussed here:

Any music purchased through the iTunes store can be downloaded again for free as long as you are signed in with the Apple ID you used for the original purchase. Any other music you had in iTunes should be easily accessible in your system back up or from the CDs you ripped from originally.

iTunes will only let you sync to one library at a time, if you get this warning message, follow this:

If your music is all purchased from iTunes, you can log back in with the same Apple ID, authorize the computer and get your past purchases back. If not, then see this document put together by another user. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

My computer crashed, so I lost all of the tabs I had open in Firefox, and I want them all back.

My computer crashed, and I lost all of the tabs I had open in Firefox. When I re-started Firefox, it didn't ask me about starting a new session or restoring the old one. How can I get back the tabs I had open?

I would try calling the support line and pleading your case, as your movies have gone the same place everything else on your computer did when it 'crashed' - the bit bucket. That's why iTunes has repeated warnings and reminders about backing up your purchases, it's why there is backup software built in to MacOS, and it's why everyone says to back up your computer. The stuff on there is both valuable and fragile, and it only takes a $70 external drive and a few minutes every once in a while to make sure it's all safe.
For the record, it's not "because of Apple" that you can't re-download your movies, it's the studios and their contracts that prevent that.
