HT203167 My computer crashed and I lost all downloads. How do I recover them?
My computer ceased functioning. When I had it repaired and reinstalled iTunes, most of my music was gone as well as the movie Forks Over Knives that I just purchased. How do I recover them?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT203288 My computer crashed and I lost my audiobooks, how can I recover them?
I have proof of payment for audiobooks bought on iTunes over 90 days ago but I did not back them up.

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.

my computer crashed and I lost all but 2 albums in itunes. Is there a way to get into my old libruary? I have my tunes on my ipod.
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.

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:

My old computer crashed and I lost all my personal photos. I had previously synced the "My Favorites" folder on the old computer to my iPhone. How do I now download those photos to my new computer. Same thing with my iTunes music library.
Unfortunately, I did not have the photos stored seperately. When I set up iTunes on the new computer, I clicked "sync photos" and it said it would sync to the photos in the my pictures folder on the computer. This is a new computer, so the folder is empty. I am hesitant to allow the sync, because I do not want to wipe those photos from my iPhone, and never see them again. This is a terrible spot to be in.
I have also lost my iTunes music library for the computer. I subscribed to itunes Match, thinking it would upload my music from my phone to iCloud. It only added 57 songs that I had purchased on the store previously. None of the cd's I added where transferred. -
My computer crashed and I lost everything. How do I get my music from my I-phone 4S back on itunes?
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:

If you've been using the device as designed, the contacts are synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.

My computer recently crashed, and I never backed up the music on disk, however I do still have the music on my Ipod, but can't transfer it into Itunes. I had copypod before which would've worked now, but I don't want to pay for another copy. Is there any free software out there which will let me copy the music into Itunes without a certain song limit or trial use?
Thanks,
Nathan
