HT201272 Can't re-download previous music purchases

Hello - I updated my iPhone 4 to the newest IOS 6 from my PC. After this update I'm not able to re-download all of my previous music purchases?! I am not able to see any previous music purchases in iTunes Store - only all of my previous app purchases... I have tried everything from this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519. I can see receips from all previous music purchases in iTunes Store under my account ID so Apple knows I have bought this music but somehow wont allow me to re-download it.... Would appreciate it if anyone know a little trick - I guess there's some settings that are wrong or something I can do to get all of my music-purchases back!

Have the same problem. The country is the USA.
USA permits re-downloads.
So do you have another suggestion? Here's what Apple support says:
"click the iCloud download button next to each item to download them one by one, or click the iCloud Download All button at the bottom."
Unfortunately there is no "iCloud download button". Did a google images search for same, and it's definitely not there. What is there is a greyed-out icon which says "Downloaded." Click on this and the only option is "remove from list."

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    As you know how to open the iTunes Media folder, go to this folder and open iTunes. Then, go to Apps in iTunes and drag the IPA file of the app you want to show up to the iTunes window, so it should be added.
    If it doesn't work, delete the IPA, empty the Trash and you will be able to download the application.

  • HT201272 Cant download previous music purchases

    Hi, I'm having problems dowloading certain previous music purchases.  I can see the name of these songs in my library and even have a download cloud beside it, but cant access them.  I bought a lot of music in the UK before moving to Australia, would that make a difference?

    I've got all my music still on a PC at my parents home in the UK, next trip home i will put it onto a portable hard drive.  I only took my music out on my Ipod at the time, but of course you cant retrieve music from there.  Thanks for your help.  It was annoying me i could see the names of the songs on my play list but couldn't access them.

  • How do I download previous music purchases without having to buy them again

    How do I down load previous music purchases from iTunes.

    You can currently only re-download music purchases if you are in the US (re-downloading), and then only if they are still available in the store and if you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them. If you are not in the US then have you not got backups of your purchases on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs that you can copy onto your computer and add to iTunes ?

  • How to download previous music purchases

    I have iTunes 10.6.3 on OSX 10.5.8
    When I go to the STORE -> Purchase section in iTunes, it is empty.  It should not be.
    When I click Download Previous Purchases, it takes me to a page which has Music, Moves, TV Shows etc across the top. 
    When I click on Music, nothing happens.
    I have tried Signing Out/In.  My computer is Authorised.
    I tries following the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    ...but it does not work, and my iTunes window looks different in step 4.
    Any advice appreciated...

    OK I got it working.
    My Safari was not up to date (I don't use it for web browsing).
    I had been accessing the above windows from the left hand menu in iTunes.  For a laugh, I tried accessing via the right hand menu.  This link gave me a warning about Safari needing an update, whereas the left hand menu did not.
    First click "iTunes Store" in the right hand menu, see the Home page with all the ads for pop music you don't want, then click "Purchased" in the "Quick Links" section to the right to get the warning.

  • How can I download previous music purchases in iTunes

    There seems to have been a glitch in one track of an album purchased from the Store. On advice at an Apple retail store I deleted the tracks from the album (with the intent of re-downloading the album hoping for a clear download) and yet when I check available downloads I am told that all purchases have been downloaded. Any clues?

  • How do I download previous music purchases from the Cloud to my Macbook Pro?

    I recently purchased my first Apple computer, but have been a longtime iPod user, and as of this past February an iPhone user. So upon getting my new Macbook Pro, I of course began to sync what songs I had purchased from iTunes on my old Windows computers, and iPod and iPhone, that were supposed to be stored in the Cloud. Well, as I've been importing all the physical CD's i own, I began to notice that some of my iTunes purchases hadnt downloaded from the Cloud. So now I've gone through my iPod to see what songs are missing and which aren't. I know now that I am missing two full albums, as well as what I think is another 25+ single songs I've downloaded, and unfortuantely I cannot figure out how to retrieve them for the life of me.  I'm very frustrated that all my purchases didnt show up from the Cloud in the first place! Any help?

  • HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes
