My computer crashed and i lost itunes.

My computer crashed and i lost itunes. I had to completely install a new harddrive and lost everything. I had my ipod synced to my itunes account but now it won't transfer my music. Note most of my music was imported from cds. My music i think is backed up to icloud, but i can't figure out how to transfer that music to itunes. If someone could provide some advice.

I believe so. You can transfer the songs from your iPod to your computer though.

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.

My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library so now how do I transfer music from my old iPod to my new one

A little while ago my computer crashed and I lost everything, including my iTunes library except for on my iPod Shuffle. I just got a new iPod Nano for Christmas and I need to transfer the music from my old one to my new one but I can't figure out how to do this because my iTunes does not have the music that my old one does.

I have a video that I created for my daughter's first birthday. The hard drive on my computer crashed and I lost the video file. The only place I have it is on my iPod Classic. How can I transfer the video from my iPod to my new hard drive?

My computer crashed and I lost my hard drive. I have downloaded the itunes to my new pc. How do I sync my Iphone without loosing everything??

My computer crashed and I lost my hard drive. I have downloaded the Itunes on my new computer. I am afraid to sync my I phone as I don't want to loose everything on it and my I Tunes is blank - not what I had previously. ???? Can someone advise?

Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes. Then, as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar. Then, use iTunes File menu > Transfer Purchases from XXX's iPhone. This will transfer your purchased items.
For your other stuff you will need a 3rd party utility. Find discussion of them here
Unlike music and video purchases, iTunes Store Apps can be downloaded again without charge. This explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

My computer crashed and I lost everything. It was the only computer with Sync on it and I cannot get my recovery key: how can I get all my bookmarks from that Sync account?

My computer crashed and I lost everything. It was the only computer with Sync on it and I cannot get my recovery key: how can I get all my bookmarks from that Sync account? I have a ton of bookmarks/saved password and the only way to get on sync is create a new recovery key and lose all of my information.
Is there any way to get my stuff back without creating a new recovery key and losing all my old stuff?

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.

That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:

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?

- iTunes purchases by:

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
