Crash of computer - need to synchronise from Iphone to new Itunes

Hello, My computer crashed and I had to buy a new one. I have then a empty itunes. I would like to synchronise my Iphone with itunes (and not the opposite), how is that possible? Thanks

Your computer backs up your iPhone, not the other way around. You lost your backup when your computer crashed.
You can download everything you bought from Apple again, without having to pay again, provided that everything you bought is still available in the iTunes Store or App Store. Without a backup though, you will face difficulties extracting non-Apple content from your iPhone to a new computer.
Due to their affinity for viruses and other junk, Windows computers crash with disturbing regularity.

Buying a new Mac and try to save all information from iPhone in new iTunes, is it possible? how?

Buying a new Mac and try to save all information from iPhone in new iTunes, is it possible? how?

The easiest thing to do is transfer the library from the old computer to the new one. Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to choose a library, then select the copied iTunes folder. If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
If you do not have access to the old library (and you always should in the form of a backup you regularly make of your computer and store on a drive in a safe place) and this phone has been synced with a different library you can backup certain items, then erase the phone and restore those items. This will not include media not purchased from the iTunes Store.
iOS: How to back up and restore your content - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 - "Learn how to back up and restore the content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes."
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Replacing playlists from iPhone into new iTunes on new computer

My computer crashed. I was able to recover my itunes from the hard drive of the old computer and import them into the new itunes I've downloaded into my new computer. However, I have playlists on my iPhone which I want to put into the new itunes in new computer. Is there a way to force the new itunes to recognize existing playlists on the handheld device so as to avoid having to recreate the various play lists?

You cannot do that. All you can transfer is the music you purchased in iTunes. To do that, plug your iPhone into iTunes, and choose File > Device > Transfer Purchases from the iTunes menu.
The rest of your music will have to come either from your old computer's backup or the original sources (e.g., CDs) that were used to supply iTunes on the old machine.

That is correct. the music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The iphone is not a backup device.
Copy everything from the old computer, or backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

Transferring music from iPhone to new iTunes

The hard drive on my new Mac Book Pro failed and I took it to the Apple Store. They said it would have to be replaced and suggested I take it to Best Buy first to have it backed up. I do so and they charged me for a portable HD they said had all my files (including iTunes) on it. I then took the Mac Book back to the Apple Store where they replaced the hard drive. When I tried to restore the portable HD Best Buy had done, I discovered that Best Buy had not backed up anything. The HD was blank. I took it back to Best Buy and they appoligized and said they had made a mistake, but they had not been able to back the old hard drive up. I called the Apple Store back but they said the old hard drive had already been disposed of. All my music is on my iPhone. Is there a way to get it into iTunes on the new hard drive on my Mac Book Pro? I'm not going to worry about the rest of the files on the old hard drive.

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod/iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to purchase software to retrieve other items.
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer before it failed?

Deleted data from iphone thanks to itunes synchronisation

Yesterday, without realising it, I synchronised my iphone (thanks to this automatic synchronisation service offered as a default on itunes, grrrr) to my husband's itunes account which had NOTHING on it. I have now lost everything on my iphone, including apps, photos, purchased itunes, saved contacts, everything. The setting on the iphone has gone back to basics. Can someone please tell me if there is a way for me to recover everything that itunes deleted from my iphone? I have searched through itunes and my iphone, and there is nothing that specifically answers the issue of accidentally deleting data from iphone due to itunes synchronisation. HELP!

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred via the iTunes sync/transfer process from a single computer only.
Even with iTunes set to sync an iPod or iPhone automatically when connected, when connecting an iPhone to iTunes on a different computer than is used to sync with the iPhone, a warning message is provided along with a warning message that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first, which must be approved.
Contacts on your iPhone are not touched unless you select to sync contacts with a supported address book application on the computer which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, which is not selected automatically.
3rd party apps can be downloaded again with iTunes on a computer that is logged in with your iTunes account or with your iPhone and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to download the app that was used to purchase the app originally, but not the same with music, which can be downloaded once.

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I need my music back...

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Again, Ronald

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content.

Normally you would restore the backup of the computer, but you say you don't have a backup of the computer. That is a shame. See this user hint to try and rebuild your library. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

If you registered the software when you first installed it then you should be able to find the serial number available thru your Adobe account online.

Need to print from iPhone?

I have a t.c. Prints fine with Mac but iPhone or iPad does not see the air port that's part of the t.c. Which really upsets me. Which product do I need to print from iPhone.

If you want to be able to print from the iPhone or iPad, you will need to check to see if you have an AirPrint compatible printer. This Apple support document has all the details:
iOS: AirPrint 101
If you do not have an AirPrint compatible printer, you might still be able to print from the iPhone and iPad by using a special application like Printopia, which is installed on your Mac. Your Mac must be running to allow the iPad or iPhone to be able to print.
There is a free trial for Printopia, so if you want to give it a try, you will know in a few minutes whether it will work for you.

how to transfer music from iphone to new computer

iTunes will transfer your purchases from your iPhone to your new computer by using File>Transfer Purchases. For the rest of the content that’s on your iPhone use a program called TouchCopy which works on Windows and the Mac. It transferred my music, photos, contacts and SMS to my new computer very well.
