ITunes won't let me re-purchase an album that I previously bought. What do I do?

My old iPod 4th generation got damaged and my warentee wasn't up so I got a new one. However, when I got home, I started downloading all my music that had been backed up to iCloud. But I bought an album on the mobile iTunes AFTER the last back up to iCloud and then got the new iPod. Now, when I go to the iTunes store to re-download it, it won't let me download it! This is my third iPod I've gone through so I've go on to iTunes and gotten previously purchased music before. But it won't let me download this one album. What do I have to do be able to get the album back on my iPod again?

What happens when you try?  Be specific.

    Take it, the original purchase receipt, and the friend's death certificate to a physical Apple Store and see what they say.

  • ITunes Won't Let Me Make Ringtones of Songs That Are Listed to Work...

    I bought Stadium Arcadium when it came out a year and a half ago on the iTunes store. Today I checked and it said the songs on it can be made into ringtones.
    So I click on "Wet Sand" in my library, click "Store", then "Create Ringtone...". I got a message saying "'Wet Sand' by Red Hot Chili Peppers can no longer be made into a ringtone."
    So I click on the little arrow next to "Wet Sand" in my music library and it gives me a new error message: "Stadium Arcadium will be available in the store on May 08, 2038."
    Now what is up with that? The album is already in the store and will let me buy songs from it, but I don't want to because I already BOUGHT the CD; I just want to make ringtones out of it. So is this a common problem? And what do I do to fix it?

    Im having the same problem.....they need to fix it ASAP I really dont want to buy my entire library over again

  • I burned disks of previously purchased content that is not available thru iTunes anymore but the latest ver. of iTunes won't let me copy this same content onto a new comp.  Is there a way to do this or maybe an earlier ver. of iTunes to download?

  • My iTunes won't let me listen to old purchases

    My iTunes won't let me listen to old purchases because "they're not authorized on this computer" and on old password/Apple ID, but I just listened to some of them on Friday... And when I try to recover old passwords it tells me that my own birthdate isn't right, so I can't! What is going on?

  • ITunes won't let me start my computer.

    I can download iTunes fine, and it runs perfectly so I turn off my PC. When I go to turn it back on it won't start. So I run a diagnosis to figure out what program is keeping it from running. After several minutes it tells me that it has erased whatever was keeping it from running. When I restart my computer iTunes is gone and I can't use any of my music. I need iTunes for my Apple products but I can't keep it on my PC because it won't let me run my computer. I don't know what to do.

    it sounds like it is a problem with a particular app or song which has been purchased/transferred.
    painful but can you think of any that may be causing the problem.

  • How to update Ipad 2 from IOS 4.3.5 to IOS 5. Itunes won't let me do it because it keeps showing error messages asking me to check if my network is active.

    how to update Ipad 2 from IOS 4.3.5 to IOS 5? Itunes won't let me do it because it keeps showing error messages asking me to check if my network is active.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
    You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Windows 8 itunes won't let me add anything to iphone

    windows 8 itunes won't let me add anything to iphone..apple community doesn't list the iphone as a product registered under my apple id, but the phone is listed on my authorized devices.  any ideas? and do i need to get it to show as a registered product?

    I have the same problem. I can't sync any apps or music on my iphone. I can't sync any music purchased through itunes on my ipod. I haven't even tried connecting my ipad for fear that it'll mess that up as well. I try to authorize my macbook but I get an error. The weird thing is that I am able to still play all of my purchased music through itunes so it seems that the authorization is at least somehow partially recognized.

  • HT1338 My iTunes won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I need an updated iTunes, but when I try to download the new iTunes, it says that my Mac software (10.5.8) is too old. However, there are no software updates available. What can I do?

    It depends on what iPhone you have.
    If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
    If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

    My HDD crashed in my old PC and I built a new system.  iTunes won't let me sync the music from my iPod back into the new version of iTunes I had to download.  How do I fix?

    Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod.  If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.
