Getting Already Purchased Music on a new computer?

So my ipod was stolen and the computer that had my music is no longer working is there any way to get my Purchased music on my new computer or am i gonna have to rebuy it all. I have tried the Check for available Downloads option and it says everything has been downloaded but there is nothing in my folder can anyone offer any more help...

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support

  • How to get my purchased music back on new computer

    I just traded in my 3 month old, older version iMac intel, for the new one, not sure I got a good deal, but wanted it and it's another story heh..anyway, I backed up my music library on a DVD-R, but how do I get them into my library on the new computer? It's blank there when I hit the iTune icon. All I have is the U2 library, and they're on my iPod, but I'd still like them there. So what should I do?
    Thanks!

  • If i have songs on another computer, how can i get the purchased songs on my new computer

    I had Itunes on a computer of mine that will not turn on now, is there a way to get those purchased songs on my new computer?

    Copy them from your backup copy of your computer.
    If you failed to backup for some reason, transfer them from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
    If you are in the U,S use the newly released icloud.

  • How could I transfer all purchased music to a new computer

    I need to transfer all purchased music to a new computer.. Can I download them again or sync to the new computer??

    Anything you want to transfer, just copy it to a USB flash drive or external hard drive, and from there to the new computer.
    If you want to keep your iTunes library intact, as far as playcounts, playlists, etc, a few extra steps are required. First, on the old machine, run Library > Consolidate. Then copy the entire iTunes folder to the external device, and from there to the new machine.

  • How to download purchased music to my new computer.

    Hi,
    I've got a problem doing this.
    iTunes keeps telling me the music i once purchased isn't available anymore.
    Yesterday i tried to download it to my new computer.
    When i tried to download, it wasn't possible.
    But when i purchased the album again (2nd time since i purchased it 2 years ago) it started to download but i had to pay for it again.
    later on i received an e-mail from Apple:
    Your Apple ID, ******************** is just used to buy *********** from the iTunes Store on a computer or device not previously associated with that Apple ID.
    If you purchased from us, please ignore this email. It was sent to you for your attention to if you did not purchase yourself.
    If you have not done this purchase, we recommend to iforgot.apple.com to go and change your password, and then to Apple ID: safety tips to protect your account to go for further assistance.
    Best Regards,
    Apple
    So, my computer wasn't associated before because i just have a new one.
    I've authorised my computer when installing iTunes.
    So what can i do to get my purchased music on my computer again?

    I received an email from apple.
    the content was available but they said: you can only download it once.
    They opened up my account so i can download the items again.
    I'll reply again if this works

  • Can i get my purchased music on a new pc?

    I've recently gotten a new computer, and want to put my purchased music on the new itunes on that new computer.
    is there a way to do this?

    Make sure you deauthorise your purchased music in iTunes first, unless you intend to use your old PC for playing music. I couldn't because my old PC is broken, and now I used up 2 of the 5 machine limit.
    The method I used was to buy a Belkin easy transfer cable (XP to Vista version in my case) and follow the instructions. You need to install the supplied Software on your old machine before you try it. Run the Easy transfer utility in Vista (assuming thats your new OS)

  • Do I have to "enable" icloud on PC to get already purchased music on ipad?

    Does anyone know if I can just login to itunes from my ipad from the same itunes/apple id that I used on my pc....and download already purchased music from my account? OR do I have to install the icloud control panel on my PC first to "enable" icloud..... THEN I get the already purchased music on my ipad?

    No, the iCloud control panel does not need to be installed on your PC to redownload purchased music, apps etc. You will need at least iOS 4.3.3 or later on your device to redownload your purchases directly to your iPad.
    See here for how to download past purchases:

  • HT4759 What do I have to do to authourize my computer to let me download my already purchased music into my new itunes account?

    I want to download my music from icloud onto my new computer but it says that my computer need to be authorized. What do I do?

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • My old computer crashed, so I bought a new computer. How can I get my IPOD music in the new computer

    my old computer crashed. I bought a new one. I installed Itunes, with a new account. I cannot get my music from my ipod touch to the new computer. It is all music I had downloaded from cd's I have purchased through the years. Every time I try to authorize the new computer, it wants a credit card number for the ITunes store. I don't want to buy more music now, I just want to be able to get my songs in my new computer. This is driving me crazy. any help, since the phone support is not available when I am. Thanks.

    The music sync is one wa - copmputer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer.  Use your backup to  put everything back
