Old computer died with all my music/apps

Our old computer died along with my music and apps I had in iTunes.
I can still bring up iTunes. Will I be able to back up the music and apps to some discs and then load into iTunes on the new computer? If I connect my IPod Touch to iTunes on my new computer, will I lose everything on there?
Thanks for the info!

Here is some info on transferring stuff.

After transferring stuff, you will have to erase and sync your iPod to the new computer. You should get dat off the iPad since the transferring (I think) only transfer the app and not the data with the app.

My old computer crashed, with all my iTunes data on. What do I do?

Hi,
I have over 200 songs on my iPod, and I liked to import CD's to my iPod using my old computer, which crashed, meaning I can't transfer CD's to my iPod. I got iTunes on my netbook, and I also have a disc drive, so I tried to import my new CD from there to my iPod, but when I tried syncing the library (with my CD on now) it said "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, films, TV programs, books, and tones from this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?" But I don't want to remove ALL of my songs from my iPod, because I love music and I don't want to lose them forever...what do I do, I don't understand? How do I put my CD onto my iPod without removing any songs?
Thanks.

For non-Tune purchases you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

My computer crashed with all my music

How do I save my music that's on my Ipod. My hard drive crashed on my computer, and i lost all my music. My ipod wasn't connected so I still have my music on it. Please help

Hi kebocj,
Your question is better suited to the iPod forums, this area is for feedback.
This is possible, see the following post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=797426#797426

Is it possible i can sync my old ipod touch with my new laptop even tho it used to be synced with my old computer without loosing all my music?

how do i sync my ipod touch with my laptop without loosing all of my songs from my ipod already?

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTune and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.

My old computer died, and all of my itunes music is now on a USB. I have a new computer, but I have not yet downloaded the new itunes to it. How do I go about getting all of my music from the USB onto the new itunes without losing it all?

I need help getting my music from my USB to itunes onto my new computer. I have not yet downloaded itunes to my new computer, because I wanted to know how to do things first.

Is there no ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM?

Old computer died with itunes on it. Pulled hardrive and I can see the files. How do I restore to a new computer.

As you can see from the title, I have pulled the hard drive from a computer that wont boot. I can see the itunes data using a drive reader. How do I migrate it to a new laptop?

Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computers drive to the new computer.

My computer fried with all my music not bought on iTunes, all songs are only on my iPad.....

Is there any way possible to get these 800+ songs off my iPad and to a new computer or even my new iPhone 5?
BothiPad and iPhone are running ios6.
Good I hope so.
Thanks.

You'll have to use 3rd party software to do so as iTunes will only transfer music purchased from the iTunes store. Some options include Touch Copy (pc or mac) or PhoneView (mac only).

How do I install my ipod on my new computer? The old computer died and all the info was lost

I need to install ipod on my new computer. How do I do that?

Install iTunes on the new computer. Connect iPod.
But are you asking about transfering media files on the iPod to the new computer?

Computer broke with all my apple/i pod (downloads from home), my hubby exchanged old I pod touch, how can I retieve all my playlists that weren't 'purchased' through apple. I have not paid to back up things on the cloud?

Can I retrieve my non-purchased downloads from home if I don't have my old compter? Old computer broke ( with all my home downloads on it) and my old I pod touch with everything on it got exchanged, i did not back anything up on a purchased 'cloud' program from apple.

You can redownload all apps, purchased and free, via iCloud again at no cost. See here for more information and instructions.

How can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer or hard drive. My old computer died and I want to get my photos onto my new computer. Thanks in advance.

HOw can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer? My old computer died with my photos on it but I want to move my photo library from my iPad or iPod to the computer I just bought. Thanks for any help you can give.

Sorry but your iPhoto library is not on an iPad or iPod - you may have photos there (most likely low resolution copies) but not an iPhoto library - dying computers (along with software and human errors) are why you always must have a backup - now is the time to load it

HT1727 My old computer died on me with no warning signs. I didn't know or need to copy my music to another computer. I would like to know how to get the music that I bought onto my new computer without having to buy it all again.

I would like to know how to get the music that I bought onto my new computer without having to buy it all again. I just want to be able to get all of my music that I bought on itunes onto my computer. Right now the money ive spent is just gone and I have no music to show for it.

Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

TS2446 If i create a new apple id account on my ipod, will i still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that i downloaded and bought with my old account or will i loose everything; will i be able to still do the updates to those apps?

I really need help!

I don't think you understood what I wrote. You don't HAVE to pay for everything if you are happy with using the other account for updates, etc. But if you don't want to do that then you will have to buy new copies of everything for the new account. There's only one purchase item per account, but you can redownload an item in the account many times.
The idea is this:
One computer, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
One user, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
The basic idea is that each user has an Apple ID under which he/she can manage multiple devices on a single computer.
Once you step outside of that model you create such problems as not being able to use or update apps purchase under one Apple ID when using a different Apple ID. Or not being able to easily sync one device on more than one computer.

My old computer died and I lost all my iTunes music.

My old laptop died a while ago and I've just got a new computer. I still have my old itunes ID etc etc, but when intalling itunes again, I need to somehow get my music back as I had a fair amount, and with my laptop beeing really dead including the hardrive, I tierd to get anything off it, or turn it into an external hardrive, but alas, it did not work.
And as I've also had my old ipod stollen with all my old music on, and now I have nothing really, apart from uploading all my old CD's, I'm still missing alot, and have no idea how to get it back, I've looked around the itunes support thing, and it's been no real help.
So if anyone would be ever so kind and help me, I'd be ever so thankful
Many thanks
Rob

So I take it you did not back your computer up? When the I Cloud comes out, hopefully soon you can get them from there, but until it does, you may be out of luck with no back up or I pod.
