One of the reasons to include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data that is kept separate from your laptop - not carried in the same case, etc.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
If you are in the US, you can do this now as well.

My laptop was stolen and now when I try to sync my music it wants to wipe my ipod touch 5th generation. How do I get around this ?
There are quite a few third party apps that will copy media from the ipod to the computer. Try searching the cnet downloads site or other reputable sites.
Good luck! -
How do I sync My classic 160g to a new computer without losing music?
I have had my classic synced to the same PC for about 4 years or so. The PC is outdated, and I am finally getting rid of it as I built it over 10 years ago. I want to sync my Ipod to my newer laptop, but do not want to lose any of my music, as some of it was loaded by CD's that I may or may not have anymore. Can someone help me? Thanks!
The best solution is to move all the music to a removable hard drive, and then connect that hard drive to the new computer. If you keep the music at the same path and drive letter, you can probably just move over your .itl files just fine. I did that when I replaced my PC with a laptop, and had no problems.

How do i sync my iphone with a new computer without losing all of my apps
I bought a new macbook pro and want to sync my iphone and ipad with itunes on the new computer. I don't want to lose all of my apps (photos and music are already transfered). I am pretty sure that all of the apps that I have bought are in itunes, but I really don't want to risk losing anything when I sync.... especially all of my contacts! How do I avoid this?
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

How do I sync my iphone to a new computer without losing my songs?
I got a new computer and it wants to erase all my data in order to sync it. I tried doing home share but it won't accept my old Apple ID, I tried having Apple email me my new password so I could get back onto it but the email never sends.
