Can i download music that i have previously purchased/downloaded?

can i download music that i have previously purchased/downloaded? I paid and downloaded an album then my computer died. I have now lost that album.

If you are in the US then yes, you can re-download past music purchases (assuming that they are still available in the store). If you are not in the US then have you not got a backup anywhere of your music purchases ?

  • HT1727 Hello,  I have a new computer as my other computer is not working.  How can I access all of the music that I have previously purchased?

    My song titles are all there but my new computer cannot access the song content. Is there a way to access my music?

    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.  You do maintain a backup of your media and other important data, correct?

    Whether you can re-download music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it remains in the store). If you don't have a Music section in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading it, then do you not have you library on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download

  • HT1349 I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store.  It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!

    I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store.  It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!  I hope it's something quite simple?
    Apologies, but none of the communities listed seems to fit this question - so I'm taking pot luck!

    For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

  • Can't play music that I have bought

    I dont have the same username on my mac in OS X. Which leads to problem to deauthorize my itunes account. I can’t play music that I buy, and free movies doesn’t work either. I know this is the problem, cause I have tried to reformat using my old account name in OS X, which led to no problems in iTunes. I don’t want to use my old account name (OS X).

    My old username in OS X----->karasjok
    My present username in OS X----->Stian
    iTunes account is not the same username as in OS X, I am aware of that. Problem is that I can’t play music bought from iTunes, neither can I deauthorize my iTunes account.
    But if I reformat my OS X, use my old username, all of my music bought from iTunes plays well.

  • How can I gift a song I have previously purchased (ie, purchase it again as a gift for someone)b

    Hi there.  Have purchased and downloaded some music from iTunes. Would like to purchase some of these songs as a gift, and send them to a friend ... But cannot find a way to do so, since the iTunes store registers that I have already purchased the music I want to gift. Any suggestions for a work-around?

    I agree. It seems a strange oversight, since the people most likely to want to gift a track are those who own and like it already. You can comment to Apple here, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    I did, and I urge anyone else bothered by this to comment as well.
    Regards.

    I tried to follow the instructions for downloading previoulsly purchased movies. The instructions do not seem accurate for my computer. I cannot seem to find previously purchased movies.
    Further, there are multiple copies (of the same movie) on my computer. Can i simply delete the duplicates?

    Are you in the USA?  Currently you can only re-download movies in the USA and not even all of those (studio dependent).
    Before deleting duplicates I would make sure it isn't just two links pointing to the same file.  If it is, delete the link but not the file (especially if you cannot download it again).  In general you need to exercise caution when dealing with duplicates because some are not really.

  • Download videos and music that I have alreay purchased?

    My hard drive crashed a few months ago, and along with it sent a few seasons of tv shows, except the one season of Spongebob currently on our ipod. How can I "redownload" the music and TV seasons that I have already paid for? When I navigate to the various TV seasons that I purchased, it wants me to buy them again. Is there any way to download them without repurchasing?

    Whilst i concur with the comment about people being amazed about others not having a "backup plan" in my defence and particular case i thought having a $600 NAS fitted with 8Tb of HDD storage and which was apparently self monitoring and capable of transferring data from a failing HDD and restoring it to a replacement would cover me for problems. Apparently Not!!!!!
    Be aware DROBO users, these units apparently protect you from data loss due to HDD failures but are still prone to data corruption caused by various reasons. ( latest one according to DROBO support is if you use USB to connect on a mac (i don't), apparently DROBO & Macs do not like talking via USB......strangely enough these problems not listed on DROBO site where you purchase them!!! ).
    DROBO also, (since complaining to them ), have advised having a second form of backup!!! This goes back to my previous comment about how many back ups should you have to use? Once your data reaches 3Tb it starts getting hard to split it over several drives ( only seen 2Tb HDD ).
    I must admit i did not know about iTunes getting charged for each download, is this not the same for Apps then?
    But surely, as an electronic download it is a slightly different situation and therefore cannot be compared to buying a physical CD which, i agree, you would not expect the store to replace a lost or damaged cd.
    Ah well i guess i'll be filling 2Tb drives after all

  • HT1391 I can't find music that I have bought in my library

    help! I have bought some music. I can see it in my recent puchases and I can play it. but when i search in my main library I can not find it anywhere.

    If you're using iOS 7 or 8, tap on the Settings app, then on "Music", and then check "Show All Music" is on. Then go to the Music app and find the album. Click on Download and that's it. You should also be able to download it by going to the "Purchased" link under "Quick Links" on the right-hand side of the iTunes Store homepage and selecting "Music".
    If you're using an old version of iOS such as iOS 6.1.6 or lower (until 4.3.3), go to the iTunes app, tap on "More", "Purchased" and "Music", then tap on "Not on This iPhone/iPod/iPad" and search for the album.

  • How do I re-download music that I have purchased i...

    Is there any way to do this?

    Hi Coxy322
    On PC, if you have Ovi/Nokia Player:
    -sign in and click on Account on the upper part of the player and select download history. 
    -click on purchased downloads and look for the songs and click re-download.
    If you don't have ovi player:
    -go to www.music.ovi.com
    -if you will ask to select country, please select it.
    -then if you are on the homepage already, on the upper left corner you have the sign in button.
    -sign in, click explore store and click on account.
    -on the left side of the screen, please click download history. Then select purchased downloads again.
    -look for the songs and click re-download button. It will ask you where you want to save it. Then you can just transfer it to your phone if you want.
    Using your phone:
    -go to ovi music icon on the phone. Select country and click ovi music button. If asked to sign please do.
    -on the lower part of the screen you'll have 3 icons. The home icon, my account icon and the search icon. Please click the middle icon which is my account. Then if you are sign in already you can also see there download history, please click on that (If not yet sign in, please sign in first). Then select purchased downloads and re-download those songs again.

  • This may sound dumb but can i return music that i have bought?

    I bought an album i was intending on buying, so im wondering if i can return it?

    All purchases are final - you can't return something you've already downloaded. If you have purchased something in error you could try asking iTunes Support whether they could consider refunding you just this once: they have been known to do so but please be aware that they are under absolutely no obligation to do so.
    To contact them, go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column and then 'iTunes Store' in the third column.

  • Re-download Music that's Already Been Purchased on iTunes.

    I want to know if It's Possible to Redown load Music that I bought from iTunes?. What i mean is that that I had a External HD that was acting up and i thought i had backed up my Recently Purchased Music but it was erased & when i looked into my iTunes Account to look at all my previous Purchases it didn't show them as being able to re-download them. So i was wondering how do I handle this? Same thing goes for my Purchased Movies & TV Show's.

    Hi,
    You should be able to find previous purchases by going into iTunes Store then selecting purchased from quick links. On the next page you will see all past purchases and will show if they have been downloaded or not. If you click on not on this computer, tracks available for download. If track is not shown here but on previous screen showing downloaded, iTunes still thinks that the track is on your computer.
    From what you say, the purchases are still available on your ipad, indicating that the tracks are still available for redownload.
    If you have lost non purchased music on your computer but still have it on your ipad, have a look at:
