my old laptop broke - i have downloaded itunes onto new pc but my library is blank, how do i access redownload my old itunes library?

If you do have your iTunes content stored in a backup somewhere, on your iPod, or the hard drive it was originally on is no longer available, I'm afraid you are out of luck.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases again via iCloud using the instructions in this link.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For all other non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to rerip or redownload them from their original source.
For the future, consider making backups of your iTunes library or your entire PC.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

If it is stolen , how are you going to sync it?
You mean you got a new iPhone and you want to sync it to your computer?
Plug it in.

I suggest you simply copy your entire User folder from old computer to new computer. This way all your data (Music, photos, contacts, emails, calendars, documents, etc.) goes across.

Everything in iTunes will be exactly as it was.

You can download it on your laptop, too, but what are the specifications (including drives) of your laptop? It may not be powerful enough to run it.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone. Authorize your computer for your itunes account
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars. So do NOT sync yet. This is why a backup copy is so important.
Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data. Choose it.
If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync. They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup.

Is it possible for me to re-download audiobooks onto a new computer?

Hi, thanks for reading!
I bought some audiobooks on an old computer and would like to download them onto my new computer but can't figure out how to.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Sorry but no. Audiobooks at this time cannot be downloaded more than once per purchase. You'll need to copy them from your old computer or from your backup.
Regards.
