Brought album on preorder, Itunes saying I have purchased it, but won't let me download or buy again!

Please help,
I preordered AM by the Arctic Monkeys, it was released on the 9th September. It still has not downloaded or gives me any options to download or even rebuy it. I had to change my card details which may have stopped the transation, this has now been sorted but it is still in the same 'purchased' stage and won't let me do anything. I can only listen to the preview of each song.

That is true.  you purchase one download only of music/vids/etc.
You can redownload apps only.
Did you update without making sure that you had transferred all purchases from the ipod to itunes?  not good.
From the itunes store terms of service:
"PRODUCTS CAN BE DOWNLOADED ONLY ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED OR RENTED FROM THE ITUNES STORE THAT ARE STORED IN YOUR SYSTEM."
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception.  They are under no obligation to allow.

  • ITunes says i've purchased music but it will not re-download and it is not showing up in my purchased area

    I bought Demi Lovato - "Unbroken" along with multiple other music purchases but this is the only album that does not show up in my purchased area or has the feature of re-downloading when i search it into iTunes. I have a new laptop and even on my old laptop which i purchased it on, it is not re-downloadable or even re-purchasable. I am using the exactly the same iTunes iD. It is in my itunes on my old laptop but I can't download or purchase it again onto my new laptop eventhough it says it has already been purchased but it doesn't show up in my purchased area. Also, i go onto my old laptop and i meet the same problem. Hope you understand this, thanks

    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Are you sure you meet the requirements? It is not possible to purchase Mavericks because it was a free download. However, you no longer can download Mavericks since the release of Yosemite. If Mavericks works on your model, then so will Yosemite. Frankly, though, for a computer that age I would stick with Snow Leopard. It will allow you to use any older PPC applications none of which will work in Lion or later. Snow Leopard will perform faster for you on that model.

    Sounds like you have abn expired credit card linked o yoru accopunt.
    View your iTunes account payment info and select None for the CC.
    You may need to first add a valid card number before you can remove it.

  • ITunes says I have App updates- but will not update.

    I have restarted iTunes, the computer, downloaded the new update (8.1.1 is it?), and tried a million times. But no matter what, iTunes says I have 6 App updates. So I click on the "6 Updates Available" button, but all I get it that all of my app have been updated.
    I also thought that it might have to do with the fact that I had Apps that were my sister's put on my account using that whole "Authorize Computer" thing. Both of the computers are authorized. So I had her update hers, but it's still not working.
    So if anyone has anything that can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Andrea

    How I fixed the problem was to "select all" of my apps in itunes and right click and delete, but keeping my files.  The 1 update went away.  So I synced my ipad, and transfered my apps from the ipad back to the computer.
    By keeping the files when deleting them in iTunes then syncing them back from the iPad, you should now have two of all your apps in Music> iTunes> iTunes Media > Mobile Applications.

  • Pre-ordered a book but won't let me download. Says I already downloaded but haven't purchased.

    Won't let me download the book although it shows up on my shelf.

  • Have original ipad which won't backup, itunes says there is an error but won't give me any details

    I have an original ipad which I struggled to update the OS software from 3.2 to 5.0 but eventually managed to do this manually.  HOwever, now there is an update to 5.1 which when I try to do it via wifi, it just says there is an error.  Tried to do it through iTunes but it starts to back up and then tells me there is an error but does not give details, when I click on the further information button it doesn't do anything.  Because it won't back up, it won't let me install the update.  It won't back up either to the computer or to iCloud, I have tried both.  I would be grateful if anyone has any ideas.
    Also, in case anyone can help - several of my apps won't work on my ipad - logo quiz, ibooks (worked fine until I updated software system) and a few others - just flicks on briefly and then throws me out.
    Thanks in advance.

  • HT5622 I want to use free apps on my Ipad and do NOT wish to submit a credit card to Itunes.  My Apple Id works, but won't let me migrate past the credit card phase in itunes.  I don't wish to sumbit or use a credit card because I will not make purchases.

    I want to use free apps on Ipad 2, but it continually asks me to submit a credit card in Itunes.  I do not wish to purchase anything apps or music.  I am only interested in free apps.  If I were to make purchases, I would use a prepaid card like an itunes card or an app card, but NEVER a credit card.  I can't seem to bypass this option of using a credit card and need to.  I have another Ipad 4 and have never needed to use my credit card to migrate past itunes to use any apps.  How do I get past this credit card request and still use my ipad 2.  According to my Ipad 2, if I don't plug in a credit card, I can't even use free apps which is stupid.

    You can create an iTune and App Store account without credit card details
    1. Sign out of current Apple ID if you are sign-in to one (important)
    2. Go to App Store and select a free app
    3. Tap INSTALL APP
    4. Create New Apple ID
    5. Confirm Your Country
    6. Agree with Terms and Conditions
    7. Fill in your Apple ID and Password (you must create a new Apple ID; don't use your old Apple ID)
    8. Create and answer your secret question
    9. Select NONE for Payment Method
    10. Fill in Billing Address
    11. Submit application for new Apple ID
    12. Wait for verification email
    13. When email arrive, verify your account
    14. Start downloading your free apps

  • HT1338 I had to remove the final cut program because it crashed my computer and would never stop trying to load a file and when I go to my purchase history it says installed and is inactive and won't let me download it to my computer again??????

    I purchased Final Cut Pro Xand I need to reinstall it and it says in the purchase history it was installed and won't let me reinstall??? Do I just lose my 300 dollars?

    Hey weaverweao,
    Thanks for the question. If you uninstalled the application by dragging it to the trash, you will want to empty the trash before attempting to download again:
    OS X Mavericks: Install, update, and uninstall apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14299
    To uninstall other apps, drag the app to the Trash (located at the end of the Dock), then choose Finder > Empty Trash.
    Afterwards, go ahead and restart your computer and attempt to download from your purchase history once more.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • ITunes says Apps have available updates, but none exist

    In iTunes, the "Apps" page says that there is one update available, but when I click on the link to go to the download apps page, it says that there are no updates available. This problem persists through reboots, and has been going on for a month or so.
    It is not really a big deal, but the obsessive compulsive side of me gets a little annoyed by it
    I think it might have started when I put the computer to sleep while updates were downloading.
    Does anyone know how I can "reset" what iTunes thinks needs updating? Or at least find out what it really thinks is out of date?
    Thanks,
    Ron

    This happened to me as well. I use an iMac as my main machine, but have a laptop that my daughter uses. I use my Apple ID on both computers. I would occasionally see on my iMac that I have updates available and would click update and get the No Update Available response, yet the red badge remains displaying that I have an update. Found that a few people had this happening as well via these forums so I checked on the laptop and it updated. I then noticed the red badge on the iMac had disappeared as well. If you have any other computers that share your Apple ID, I'd run update on those to see if it fixes your issue.
    Thanks,
    Bryan

  • Itunes says I have purchased something and it is now downloaded - already hit resume all downloads and it says they are all complete

    I have tried the directions to locate lost music and nothing changes yet when I go to buy what I want it says I already have it?  Where can I find it - I did the download unfinshed process and still haven't located it? 

    You couldn't find it under the Recently Added section of your iTunes library or in just the Music section?
