Original computer crashed. How do I sync music, apps, books, podcasts, etc. to my new computer?

Move or copy the content from the old computer to the new computer.
iDevices are not backup devices.

My computer crashed; how can I sync to another without info loss?

EDIT: ACK! I put this in the wrong section D: Sorry ._.
My computer crashed last night, so now I'm on my mother's. I'd like to sync this iPod to it so that I can back up all of the files, just in case something happens to my iPod.
However, iTunes has sensed that my iPod is synced with another, which I can't reach anymore, seeing as my computer can't even turn on.
How do I get around this? I really can't afford to lose everything. I've already lost about $10 of music that I never got around to putting on my iPod...
Someone please help </3 I've had a very, very bad day...

Playing from iTunes without downloading is streaming during play. iPod can't stream unless it is a version with wifi. So you need to download files then syn iPod with iTunes.
I do this for my iPod since my wife and I use same iTunes account. If I allow auto syncing it mixes my podcasts with hers, subscriptions, plays, and deletes.

Computer crashed. how do i sync to new computer

So my hard drive crapped out and I just re-installed Windows 7 on the new HDD. Is it possible to back all of my data from the iphone4 to the computer so that when I install itunes it won't erase all my data?
Edit: to be more specific I just want to make sure my settings, contacts, apps are intact after i sync. I already manually pulled my photos and videos off.

Try a manual backup before you sync for the first time.
Disable autosync in iTunes/settings/devices, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

My computer crash how do i transfer my itunes to the new computer?

my computer crash how do i transfer my itunes to my new computer?

I sympathize with roaminggnome - How is this so? I will tell you how this is so.....
2 Macbooks and an Ipad were stolen from my house. When i was out of the house, I had my phone with me.
I always backed everything/synced to my computer AND to icloud.
Now we have a new computer and Ipad and you are telling me I would need to email my 1,600 pictures from my iphone photo albums to myself and reload them to my new computer?
You have got to be kidding me? I also do not understand how I saved all of my albums to my ipad & on the computer and synced to BOTH the computer AND icloud, but those albums are lost, because they were not on my camera roll?
1. I need another solution to getting my photos from my iphone to my imac.
2. How do i recover those albums that were saved to icloud, but I can only "see" the camera roll on icloud.
I know they are there somewhere - here is why:
When I first got my (new) Ipad and had downloaded (what i thought was everything) from icloud, I opened up my photos to show someone a picture that night and low and behold the names of several of my albums were in the photo app, but the pictures were all jumbled up. Almost like it was trying to search and organize, but it just wasn't done...... Example - dog album had pictures of leaves or people, not the dog.
The next day I opened the Ipad & went to photos, no albums, just photo stream, camera roll. Only the pictures that had been taken when we first got the (old) Ipad.
Can anyone provide assistance??
thanks!

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

Computer crashes during iPad Photo Sync.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to help my grandpa get set up on his new iPad (he's a tech-savvy grandpa, I know) but for some reason his computer crashes when trying to sync his photos with his iPad.
He's using Windows Vista, and I'm a Mac person myself so I'm not very knowledgable about Windows. I was able to get everything to properly sync to his iPad with no problems -- except photos. Music, movies, apps, all work no problem, but one of the primary reasons he wanted an iPad is to be able to carry around and show his pictures. He has about 5,000 organized and stored on his computer. When I had iTunes attempt to sync the whole folder, it would start optimizing the first 100 pictures or so when bam - blue screen of death. I'm not talking about iTunes freezing or crashing here, the whole computer crashes. It comes back up upon reboot but every single time I try to sync those pictures, it crashes. I've tried syncing individual folders with fewer pictures, but every single time it crashes.
I've done some researching online and found this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502
He does have a Logitech QuickCam webcam attached to his computer. I updated the drivers with no success.
I've also tried unplugging all USB devices except the iPad, but nothing seems to work.
Anyone have any advice?
Thanks very much.

Hi.
I have a feeling this has nothing to do with how much space the iPad has left.
I am having a complete headache with synching photos and it has something to do with your updates. The original OS that came with my iPad was fine and I had many thousands of photos on the iPad (security software has been the same throughout).
With the latest update to 4.3 (and the previous one), the same photos do not synch and KILL my windows 7 laptop (hard crash to a black screen).
It is clearly something to do with the process of compressing/processing the photos. It seems as if within iTunes some other application is called to convert photos and this is done on multiple treads (I am not a computer expert so am only summising this). Somehow, windows 7 seems to be complaining that all the CPUs are at 100% all the time (I have a relatively new laptop that doesn't complain when 100% CPU is being used by any other application EXCEPT iTunes synching with the iPad).
I cannot even transfer a small directory of photos - the same photos that were able to be transferred with the original iPad software; this clearly indicates an issue with the iPad or iTunes (or likely both) updates.
Regards,

Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV.
