Computer Crashed. Can I still get my old iTunes library back?

Basically, my last laptop crashed and I had to buy a new one. I do not own an iPod or anything of that nature. I didn't back any of my music files up. Is there any way I can receive my old library?

No backup?

You can try e-mailing itunes support to see if they will make an exception - they are under no obligation to do so.

I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 and now I tunes is empty and when I try to sync my Iphone4 or IPod, it states they belong to another ITunes Library. How do I sync all my content, including Apps to my computer again or get my old Itunes library back?

To all:
I recently upgraded my computer from Windows XP to Windows 7. Now my Itunes library is no longer available? When I try to sync my IPod or Iphone 4 to ITunes, it states that the content on my devices belong to another Itunes Library and do I want to transfer purchases, erase etc?
How do I get my old Itunes Library back? Some of my music are from CD's I own and really don't want to start the years of building my Itunes library all over again?
How do I bring all the contents: contacts, music, apps etc from my Iphone4 back to Itunes?
Confused.

The ipod/iphone/ipad are not backup sotrage devices.
Certainly you did not upgrade your computer without making sure that your backup copy of your computer was up to date. Just use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

Can I still get my old itunes acount with out sycing to my computer

HHow can I get my old iTunes music and account on my iPad. Because computer is down, and I can't syc my new iPad to it

Restore them from a backup, or reload them from the original source; if that’s the iTunes Store, use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

How can I get my old itunes library back on a new computer when I lost my old computer

I had iTunes on my old computer and the programming was messed up and I lost my itunes. I now have a new computer and I want to restore all the music I previously bought, as it was quite a lot

If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer, you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

I had to replace my hard drive and memory on my laptop. Couldn't de-authorize because the computer was corrupted but now I have two authorized computers but it's the same laptop. How do I get my old iTunes library back?

Basically I want the library from my old memory drive, which was authorized on my "first" computer. If I de-authorize both computers (even if it's really the same laptop, different hard drive) can I get library from both? How does this work? Help!

The apps that you had will be listed in your purchase history if you login to your account in iTunes on your computer - the list isn't very user friendly though as it's listed by date order and will include all app updates that you've downloaded (so an app will appear multiple times if you've downloaded it's updates). You can re-download apps, though it's a manual process as you need to find them yourself in the app store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 .
If the apps are in your iTunes library then the restore might work - a backup contains app data/settings, but not the app itself, so without the app available to it the restore can't install the app and therefore it's content.

How do I get an old iTunes library back?

Last winter I was trying to create a new library and somehow lost the one I use daily. I ended up just totally rebuilding my itunes library by using a program that lets you put songs from you ipod to your computer. Now all of a sudden almost 6 months later i turn on my computer and get ready to back up my itunes library and my old one is back and the one I had rebuilt and improved is gone. My newer songs and playlists are all gone. I dont know what is going on. Its making me mad. I do not want to have to rebuild it all again. I didn't get to back up my library... I was going to today. I just figured out how to.

Hold down the option key while starting iTunes. Select the library you want to use.

My computer crashed and I no longer have the itunes library. i get an error msg that my iphone is synced to another library - how can I get the info from the phone to the itunes library?

You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

HELP! Can I retrieve my previous session? I only just ticked the "open with previous session" preference but it seems too late! Can I still get the old pages/tabs I had open?

That could be a problem, unfortunately.
But most likely the pages you were on are stored in the History list. Try pressing Cmd+Shift+H to get the History window.
To help prevent this from happening to you again in the future, I can recommend the extension [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2324/ Session Manager]. It is quite powerful but may not be able to help you any more than the History at this point.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help more users with similar problems.

That is not necessarily true. You are allowed to make a back-up of media you own and, at least in the Netherlands, even a copy of a work you've borrowed from a library. The law expressly permits this and you pay a certain amount for recordable media to allow for home use. See http://www.thuiskopie.nl/nl for this. If you then decide to destroy the media, i.e. do not transfer the media to someone else, I don't see how you infringe copyright by keeping the back-up. But I guess some so-called creatives like the idea of making money in all kinds of hypothetical ways...
It is a nice dream, where you have to work once and then earn a lot of money by selling millions of copies from your work. But buyers can make copies too!! Hahahahahaha!

How do I "locate" my CD in itunes? Can I get the old itunes menu back?

I burned a CD using itunes. But it automatically used Windows Media to play back and changed the sequece to alphatical order.
I changed the setting to have itunes as the "preferred" player but still won't work. The CD doesn't even show up on the itunes menu. Can't find it under file or the "music" button. Tried clicking each and every button. Still cannot find it!
Also, I used to just click and drag songs from a CD to my playlists. With the new menu, it won't show both the CD song list and my playlists at the same time so I can't click and drag anymore. I have been importing all the songs and then search for them one by one and copy each to the playlists. VERY annoying. Any suggestion as to how to do this? Can I have my old itunes menu back please?
