Can i get my purchased music on a new pc?

I've recently gotten a new computer, and want to put my purchased music on the new itunes on that new computer.
is there a way to do this?

Make sure you deauthorise your purchased music in iTunes first, unless you intend to use your old PC for playing music. I couldn't because my old PC is broken, and now I used up 2 of the 5 machine limit.
The method I used was to buy a Belkin easy transfer cable (XP to Vista version in my case) and follow the instructions. You need to install the supplied Software on your old machine before you try it. Run the Easy transfer utility in Vista (assuming thats your new OS)

Getting Already Purchased Music on a new computer?

So my ipod was stolen and the computer that had my music is no longer working is there any way to get my Purchased music on my new computer or am i gonna have to rebuy it all. I have tried the Check for available Downloads option and it says everything has been downloaded but there is nothing in my folder can anyone offer any more help...

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support

You will need to sign into the iTunes Store using that other Apple ID and password. Then you can re-download the content via the Purchased link.

If i have songs on another computer, how can i get the purchased songs on my new computer

I had Itunes on a computer of mine that will not turn on now, is there a way to get those purchased songs on my new computer?

Copy them from your backup copy of your computer.
If you failed to backup for some reason, transfer them from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
If you are in the U,S use the newly released icloud.

Yes I am looking in the app store. When I look in Itunes on my computer and look at purchased apps it is there. And when I go on my other device and look at apps purchased all apps are there.
The new ipad doesn't show any apps purchased when I click on apps purchased and when I search the app store it doesn't show it is purchased. I am wondering if I am just missing something...need to turn something on in options or something. Never had this problem with previous ipad when I set it up.

Had to buy new computer can i get my purchased music back?

My first laptop broke and it is the motherboard so i bought a new one and i cant get the itunes store to put my purchased music into my music on itunes.

It is your responsibility to keep up with your purchases.
Do you not back up your info/music/pics?
You should always do this.
From the terms of sale of Itunes Store:
"PRODUCTS CAN ONLY BE DOWNLOADED ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM"

Old computer died - can only get recently purchased music on ipod nano

Hi,
My old laptop packed in suddenly, had no back up, my fault. I downloaded itunes on my new laptop and was happy to see that although cd's I had put on my old computer were gone, I still had music which I had purchased from itunes. However, when plugging my ipod nano in (2nd generation), the only music which it gives me the option of putting on is music which I have recently purchased, using my new laptop.
On looking at a few other forums I thought I should restore my nano and then maybe I could transfer all music, not just the new items, but no. Still only comes up with the 28 songs…even though in my itunes library I have several more. So now I have next to no music as everything got deleted when I restored the nano. I have clicked the “sync music” and “entire music library” to no avail. Still only the recent songs. Please help me. I know I’ll have to put my cds back on (and will back up this time)..but surely I should be able to get the music I have already paid for through itunes?
Any help appreciated, hope this is enough info,
Cheers
KC

Question: I have a computer at home and one at work. Can I update my iPod music collection from more than one computer?
Answer: Yes. When you first connect iPod to your computer, iPod recognizes that computer as its "home" computer. Each time you connect, iPod automatically downloads the music library stored on it. When you connect iPod to a different computer, iTunes will inform you that iPod is linked to a different iTunes library and will ask whether you wish to erase iPod's contents and sync with the new computer's library. If you will be connecting to multiple computers frequently, configure your iPod to manually manage music. This will allow you to selectively drag songs, albums, or playlists from the second computer to your iPod without compromising the existing music.
Synchronization generally occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your iPod. This means you typically cannot transfer music, automatically or manually, from your iPod to a computer, and you cannot use iPod to copy a music library from one computer to another. An exception to this is the transfer purchases feature which allows you to restore purchased iTunes content to your computer from your iPod. Additionally, if you legally are allowed to copy music or other media files, you can configure your iPod as a storage drive to move media files.

How can I get my purchased music to play again?

I recently updated my iPod 4g to the newest version of software. everything has showed up EXCEPT my purchased music. It is shown in my music and in iTunes, but it won't play. Instead, it will skip to the next playable song. Any solutions?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Can't get my purchased music.

Ok, so I reinstalled windows a while back and when I synced my ipod to the newly downloaded itunes, I chose to sync to this new library, as I hadn't yet replaced all my new music etc, and let it sync. It didn't give me my purchased game though, just ones in the music library I had from CDs. No big deal I thought, as I had only one game purchased, and It was starting to get old, so I didn't worry about it. Next time I reinstalled though (just recently), the same thing happened but it was with albums and songs I had purchased since last reinstall as well as the game. I only had a few of my purchased songs and games on my ipod then, and that's all it gave me. I went to store -> check for available downloads, and it says I have everything. I went to purchase history and it's there, but with no download link or anything. I submitted a ticket to support using the feature in purchase history:
"All of my purchases from 8/12/08 to 5/19/09 are now unable to be downloaded to my machine after I reinstalled windows. I went to store -> check for available downloads, and it only downloaded purchases from 5/19 on, because they were already on my ipod. They were the only ones on my ipod because I've had this problem before and couldn't get my old songs then either. Please get me my purchases."
Now, the weird part:
At 10:27 pm (hotmail time) I get an email saying:
Your request for a refund for "Collide" was carefully considered; however, according to the iTunes Store Terms of Sale, all purchases made on the iTunes Store are ineligible for refund. This policy matches Apple's refund policies and provides protection for copyrighted materials.
I didn't ask for a refund! I just want my music...
The weird part is that AFTER that, 11:30 PM the same day(hotmail time) I get this:
Thank you for contacting the iTunes Store. This is an automated reply, but an iTunes representative is reviewing your request and will send you a personal response soon (generally within 24 hours). Meanwhile, you may find the following articles helpful. They address several common customer questions.
(then the links)
So they denied my request for a "refund" and THEN say they will get to me in 24 hours.
It's been more than 24 hours and there has been no response.
What should I do to get my music back?

Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications (though not all of those). You get only a single download per purchase; the "Check for Available Downloads" only works for tracks that were not successfully downloaded once already. It's your responsibility to make backup copies in case something goes wrong with your system, as unfortunately it apparently did in your case, and you lose all the information on your hard drive. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places. If your hard drive was erased and you don't have a backup of your purchased items, and don't have them on an iPod, you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your tracks.

HT1711 can i get my purchased music back if my iphone broke before i backed it up on itunes?

Hi... I bought a fiar bit of music on itunes store on my iphone 4s, and actually hadnt synced the phone with my lap top for aaages, so it was only on my phone. then i smashed my phone by accident and it had to go to be repaired, so they chucked the sim... is there any way i can get my music back that i bought on that phone once i get my new repaired iphone? cani re download it for free? or do i have to buy it allll over again? and what about apps? same deal....

As long as they are still available in the store then you can re-download apps for free, and music can also be re-downloaded in a number of countries (plus tv shows in some countries, and films in fewer) : re-downloading. If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

So you had a windows computer before?
See here for moving content options

When the content is moved over if it has been purchased with the old ID than it will not play until you authorise the new machine with the old Apple ID
Store > Authorise Computer.
This will not change buying content with the new iD going forwar it will just let you platy the old content as well as any new you might get.
If you are going to get rid of the old computer then it is a good idea to
Store > Deauthorise this computer

My old computer crashed, so I bought a new computer. How can I get my IPOD music in the new computer

my old computer crashed. I bought a new one. I installed Itunes, with a new account. I cannot get my music from my ipod touch to the new computer. It is all music I had downloaded from cd's I have purchased through the years. Every time I try to authorize the new computer, it wants a credit card number for the ITunes store. I don't want to buy more music now, I just want to be able to get my songs in my new computer. This is driving me crazy. any help, since the phone support is not available when I am. Thanks.

The music sync is one wa - copmputer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer. Use your backup to put everything back

HT1451 need help finding my old account so I can load all my purchased music on my new shuffle I just bought today.

I have an old Itunes account from a few years ago. I want to find the music I purchased and add it to my shuffle I just bought today. Help needed please. Thanks

You don't need a new iTunes account (and really shouldn't create one) simply because you purchased a new shuffle.
Continue to use the iTunes account you had.
Update your AppeID with new email address here -> Apple ID: Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID
You can downlaod previous purchases.

I can not download my purchased music to my new iPad Mini

I have a number of purchased songs in iTunes but I have been unable to download them to my new iPad Mini. The songs all show in the 'Purchased' area of iTunes and have a little cloud next to them. I click on the cloud and the songs appear to download OK but do not appear on the iPad Mini.
On checking further it would appear that I can't purchase new songs from iTunes.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

On the other Macs go to iTunes Preferences/Store/Automatic Downloads/Select: Music
This should work if all the other Macs are logged into iTunes with the same Apple ID you bought the music with.
