Old PC crashed how do I retrive itunes account on new PC

Basically my Old laptop scrashed, went out and bought a new one, I assumed I would just download itunes. log in and all my library would appear. Was not the case and I have years of music missing now!!?
Any ideas if it is all retrievable (binned a lot of CD's as I thought the files were safe)

Why would anyone make this assumption? It is completely illogical.
The content purchased from iTunes is the users responsibility to maintain. Just like when you buy CD's and DVD's from the store. If you misplace them, the only way to get them back is to repurchase them.
If you have failed to make a backup of your media over the years, then you have a problem.
It may be possible to recover the content from the old laptop, but it will require some effort on your part.
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload previously purchased music. Videos are not available for redownload without repurchasing. Apps have always been available for redownload as many times as the user wishes.

How do I switch ITunes account to new computer

Old lap top met a tragic end due to a 4 year old and a cup of OJ. We purchased a new iMac and need to transfer the ITunes account to the new computer, but we aren't sure how to do it.

An account is nothing more than a login and password.

If what was really meant was how to get the media on the new computer, copy it (the ENTIRE iTunes folder) from the old computer to the new computer.

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music that you've bought from other sources or copied from your own CDs then have you not got a backup of them on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto the computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off - this post mentions some that were around a couple of years ago, whether they still exist and work I don't know.

I have an Ipod that is about a year old which was connected to an old computer that has crashed. I just downloaded itunes on a new computer, hoping to download my music from my ipod, but it won't let me. Any ideas how to sync them?

An external bay is something like this: External 2.5 SATA to USB Hard Drive Caddy Case
A small Philips driver is usually all you need to access the hard drive in the leptop. You (or a technically adept friend) remove the drive from the old laptop, put it in the bay, hook it up to your new computer and read what can be recovered from it. Your iTunes library would typically be in X:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes where X: is the letter assigned to the drive.
There's a chance the drive won't work at all, but often it will work for reading data even when you can no longer get it to run your operating system. Seems like a small investment to potentially recover all your lost data, not just iTunes.
If the drive won't work, then the link I posted earlier explains how you can recover all the media and data from your existing device into a new iTunes library. Once you dont this you can restore the backup of the old device to the new one.

How do I sync my Iphone to a new computer? My old computer crashed. It had Windows XP. My new computer has windows 7. I can't find anything in my itunes account.

You can download a free application that will take your music from your iPhone and place it onto your Macintosh HD.
One of these should suit your needs:

You can't if you don't have physical access to it. Just install it on the new machine and if you have problems with activation call the number for your country and explain the situation to them. They should be able to help you out with it.
