You should be able to copy iTunes purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music that you've bought from other sources or copied from your own CDs then have you not got a backup of them on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto the computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off - this post mentions some that were around a couple of years ago, whether they still exist and work I don't know.

When your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer

when your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer?

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

Windows PC crashed, how do I get my music back once machine is defaulted?

My Windows PC has crashed and I think I need to reload the operating system to factory defaults. Does anyone know please, how I get my music back that I have purchased through iTunes once it is back at default?

From your backup copy of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good at all), then you can transfer from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
From the itunes store terms of service:
"PRODUCTS CAN BE DOWNLOADED ONLY ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED OR RENTED FROM THE ITUNES STORE THAT ARE STORED IN YOUR SYSTEM."

Use the backup of the computer to put all your media and other important data on the new computer.
If for some ridiculous reason you have failed to maintain a backup, some content can be redownloaded from the iTunes down.

Computer Crashed - How Can I Get My Songs Back?

My computer crashed so I had to reinstall itunes. Now when I plug in my ipod shuffle it tells me my ipod is linked to another library and asks if I want to replace all of my songs with the songs from this library. I have over 200 songs on my ipod, many that I bought and I don't want to lose them all. Is there any way that I can get the songs on my ipod shuffle onto my itunes?

Are the songs only on the pod? It also sounds like from the urgency that you don't have a backup. Computers crash or hardware fails all the time, this is why backups are soooo important. Lecture over, sorry about that.
This link has several suggestions to getting the music off the pod.

You'll need to copy the music currently on your iPod to your new PC and into iTunes first before you can sync it to the new iPod.

Ipod repaired, HD crash - How can I get my music back

My Ipod touch was sent in for repair a couple weeks ago - it just stopped turning on. They sent me a new one but it doesn't have any of my apps or music on it. While it was out for repair, my hard drive crashed. Father in law is still working on recovery, but if he cannot recover my music, am I out of luck? Doesn't Itunes keep a record of what you purchase? Do I really have to purchase it all over again?

basically, if you don't have a backup, you are.
maybe the the following post by Zevoneer, though slightly off topic, will be useful:
Did you back up your purchases before you you reinstalled your system? If you erased your drive then the purchases will have been erased along with everything else. If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
*You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download*. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

My computer crashed, how do I get my purchases back?

I don't have my purchases backed up on an iPod because I was just using an iPod shuffle. Can I redownload the songs/podcasts/audiobooks etc. without having to pay again?

You cannot.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.

Restore the songs from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.
