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

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.

Click on transfer purchases only works for purchased apps and music, but NOT the music rip from CDs or other sources.
For transferring music other than those purchased from iTunes, refer to the following:

How can i get the music ive copied from cd onto my new computer

how can i get the music that i have copied from cd's on to my new computer.(the computer my phone was sync to blew up) if i sync to the newit i will all the music thats on my phone,

Restore from the backup of your old computer. Copy it from the CDs.
Look for a 3rd party app that can do what you want. Senuti has been
mentioned in the past - I do not use it so cannot comment on how
well it works. I would assume there are others as well.
iOS does not natively support syncing music back from the iPhone
to a computer.

How do I get the music on my i pod to my new computer with an empty librar

I acedently erased all my music on my i pod while I was out traveling, so I filled the ipod with a lot of music from another computer (so I cant just burn the music on to a cd/dvd).
Now I have just bougt a new computer and downloaded itunes and I would just like to know how I can get all the music on the i pod into the itunes library on my new computer...??

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

PC Crashed-How do I get my music from my iPhone back onto PC?

My PC crashed a few weeks ago. I have had it reformatted and have reinstalled itunes. When I hook up my iPhone and choose "transfer purchases from Amanda's iPhone" it only pulls over a few random songs (and I have purchased many, many more). How do I copy my music off of my iphone onto my PC?
Thanks!

How do I get the music off my old shuffle onto a new computer?

My husband has an older shuffle that he wants to transfer to his new nano. The shuffle is synced with an old laptop and we don't know how to transfer the music without losing everything. Please help!!

How do I get the music on my iPhone back into iTunes?

Last night after much effort I was able to get my music and audiobooks synced with my iPhone 3G. This morning iTunes on the Laptop has crashed and been re-installed several times. Now the playlists and audiobooks are missing/incomplete. Is there a way to get the data on the phone back into iTunes? Right now I'm afraid to sync because I believe the iTunes will ruin what is on the phone.

I guess I thought syncing with iTunes was a "back-up". The data is on the iPhone, is there a way to write that data back into iTunes, rather than letting iTunes overwrite whats on the phone. I've located some of the previous/damaged iTunes library files, but not sure how to restore them.

You should have a backup but if not you will need to transfer the contents before you sync or it will be erased.

For other music you will require a 3rd party program

Old laptop crashed - how do I get the music stored on iPod into new laptop?

My old laptop crashed so I cannot follow the instructions for moving my iTunes library to a new computer because I can no longer go into my old iTunes and switch it to manual update and enable disk use. How can I get the music stored on my iPod into my new iTunes? I have a 60GB iPod video. Thanks

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

I just reset my computer How do i get the music from my Creative Zen Touch onto my computer aga

Hi, I just had to reset my computer and i lost all my music... how do i get the music from my Creative Zen Touch onto my computer so i can listen to music again on my computer?

itsVASH,
Basically you do the reverse of how you got it onto the player to begin with. You will open up mediasource, select the Zen Touch in the left hand source window, select PC Music Library on the right hand side. Select your songs and press the arrow pointing to the right.
