how do i get music back that i bought in itunes store?

Woah there fella, if your files have been deleted and you still keep the same hard-drive you might want to use some undelete software first, such as http://www.officerecovery.com/freeundelete/ which I am not familiar with. Just make sure you recover the files into an external or different drive than the one you are recovering first... Otherwise it won't work. You could porbably restore most of your data this way, music and everything else.
Otherwise:
1. Open iTunes (latest version).
2. On the left ruler, under "Store", click on "Purchased".
3. On the bottom right of the screen click on "Download Previous Purchases".
4. Download whatever you like.

    The easiest way to get back missing items?  Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • I downloaded a audiobook and didn't know it had 2 parts And accidently deleted the first half, how can I get it back?

    I downloaded a audiobook and didn't know it had 2 parts And accidently deleted the first half, how can I get it back?

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so unless you copied it over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library before you deleted it (in which case case you could sync it back to your phone), then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download of it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I was downloading music from my partners purchased music on my phone and it wiped all my existing music, how can i get my music back as i dont have it on my computer anymore?

    i was downloading music from my partners purchased music on my phone and it wiped all my existing music, how can i get my music back as i dont have it on my computer anymore? please help me 

    If you bought this music from iTunes you can download it again from within your Purchases in the iTunes App.
    Otherwise, razmee is right. you can only sync to one itunes library.  If you sync to another one whatever does not exist on the new library will get removed from the phone.
    That's is by design to avoid Piracy. As otherwise you could simply transfer purchases to other users.

  • My last computer crashed and it had all my songs and i got a new ipod how do i get those songs back

    ok so my last computer crashed and it had all my songs and that day i got a new ipod how do i get those songs back thast i paid for?

    If the songs are not on an iPod or a computer (didn't you have a backup of your computer files?) you are probably out of luck since you only get one download of music from the iTunes store and it is up to you to back them up.  However, the Itunes store may allow a redownload if you explain what happened.  Go to the following and select the appropriate topic to contact them.

  • Got a new computer. old computer fell unable to access any infrmation how do i safely get the music stored on my iphone back on itunes and how can i get my aps back that where erased when trying to syn my iphone to my new computer

    This my second computer in the last two years. The first one fell and broke but I had only $20 worth of Itune stuff on the first one so I did not bother however this second computer I have tons of apps and music. I have lost all my apps while I was trying to backup my iphone with my new computer. I am wondering how can i get those apps back. How can I safely syn my iphone to my new computer without losing any more stuff.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Certainly after losing everything once, you started doing the basics and have a backup copy.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( twice), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone:  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Make sure that you have your computer authorized to your itunes account.

    Hello Lisa,
    Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes.  Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

  • I had to reset my phone and lost all my ringtones, how do i get my ringtones back if I already bought them?

    I had to reset my iPhone, and when I did I lost all my music and ringtones and all my apps. Well i was able to get my apps and the other music that I bought on iTunes back onto my phone but my ringtones are still missing. I don't want to go buy them again. How do I download them back to my phone? I have spend lots of money on ringtones on my phone. It happened before when I got a new phone and lost all of them. But I really want to know how to download and get them back.

  • Whenever I turn on my Apple TV, it get an error message that says Go to itunes store on your computer and get your password.

    Whenever I turn on my Apple TV, it get an error message that says "Have you forgot your password. You have attempted to log in too many times. Go to itunes store on your computer and get your password". I have logged into itunes store on my computer, but I don't know what to do next. I accessed my account on itunes store hoping that would give me a pasword or other useful information, but no help. What am I supposed to do?

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

  • I transfered my iTunes library from 1 computer to another and am now missing content. How do I get it back?

    I transfered my iTunes library from my old computer to my new computer using iCloud and an missing content. My iPhone still has my full library on it. I've synced my phone but the missing cntent wont transfer over. How do I get my complete library on my new computer? My old computer had windows 7; the new one windows 8. Dont know if this makes any difference.

    Delete the garbage that has been created on the new computer.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. Launch iTunes, everything will now be as it was on the old computer.

  • HT4527 If i restored my iphone and lost all my music, how can I get my music back when im on another computer? My last computer broke, and this is a family members..Can I just sign in and find my music? Or how do I do it when this is someone elses laptop?

    I need help, I couldnt get into my iphone because I forgot the password and I couldnt hook my iphone up to the computer with all my music on it. So im wondering how to redownload that music from another computer that had already had someone elses account programed into it. I can almost get my purchased music but it says im not authorized. I DONT KNOW WHAT to do

    If your music was purcansed from the iTunes Store and your country allow is you can redownload it
    Login to itunes as yourself on this computer then
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    You will also need to authorise that computer so you can play the content.
    Ctrl B to turn on the top menu
    Store > Authorise this Computer...
    Type in your Apple ID and password and authorise.
