Can I re-download iPod Games that I've purchased?

I bought all the games that were available when they first came out, transferred them to my iPod (5th Generation) using iTunes for Windows, and everything was peachy.
Until I deleted my old Windows XP partition and decided to go with Windows Vista full-time. One day I get a message saying that my Games are no longer authorized to work on this computer, and they all disappear. They were erased from my iPod the next time I synced, too. Huh? I paid for those games (and a pretty penny, too)! Why are they suddenly gone!?
More importantly, how can I get them BACK? They aren't in my "iPod Games" list, nor are they in the "Purchased" playlist, but they do show up in my Purchase History when I look at my iTunes account info. Please help!!

Hi, Christopher.
Why are they suddenly gone!?
Sorry but I can't reconstruct just what happened to your iPod games. It strikes me odd that they would disappear like that.
Have you searched your computer to see if there's any sign of the .ipg files?
... how can I get them BACK?
If you don't find the game files on your computer, Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases - songs, videos, games or what have you - can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups . (For most people, this will involve either CD's/DVD's or an external drive .)
That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form on this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your iTS purchases are valuable - please back them up!

  • HT5622 Can't I download the apps that I've purchased in other country's appstore?

    I've purchased several apps including Keynote, Numbers and Pages while I was in Korea. Now I am in the US and using the same Apple ID. Can't I download these apps? Should I purchase them again?
    Thanks

    You can either switch back to the Korean store or go to their individual product pages in the USA one while logged in with the same Apple ID. It may look like it'll charge you again, but it'll realize that you already paid for them just before it does.

  • Can I re-download ipod games free?

    I looked in the support section here, and you can download applications for the ipod touch and iphone, but it didn't say anything about games for the ipod.

    No.
    That is a different aspect between iPod games and Applications (most of which are free anyways)
    iPod games are $4.99 each, and is the same ruling with iTunes songs.
    You can only download it once. Not Twice for the price of one.
    Hope that helped.

  • Why can't I download my apps that I have purchased already without putting my password in?

    I need help

    Apps are forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy them.  If you are asked to enter the password, that means the current ID you are logged in as is not the ID that was used to buy the app.  Hence you must enter the password for the ID used to purchase the apps.

    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:

  • How can i re-download a game i have already paid for

    I bought Cut the Rope and later everything on my Ipod was deleted. When I went to restore my content the game was not in my I-tunes. How can i re-download this game without having to pay for it again.

    If in the USA orother places where Cloud has been rolled out:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, apps can be redownloaded/repurchased at no cost as long as you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased them.

    Can I still download iPod software updates? iPod is out of warranty.

    Can I still download iPod software updates?
    Yes, assuming they're compatible with that iPod model. iOS 4 can't be used on the original iPod touch.
    iPod is out of warranty.
    This only affects how long Apple will freely provide technical support, repairs to, or replacement of the device.

  • Why can I not download Playstation games from the market

    This is what the PLAY store says for all the games that sony of america has published for this phone.  WHY can I not download these games on Verizon.  Its not like they are competing, these games are not available in the Vcast store.  Can you please fix, along with fixing the Google sync problem in 2.3.4

    Thanks but this IS a carrier problem, hence the "not available on your carrier".  Sony directs you to verizon when you want to know why it doesn't work.... So verizon, why doesn't it work?

  • Where can I find/download the package that contains: OracleConnectionPoolD

    Hi,
    I have classes12.zip and can make successful database connections using Oracle's JDBC driver.
    However, when I tried to run a connection pooling example - from a text book (called "PooledExample.java") - I got the following error messages...
    C:\testdart\testdart\source>javac PooledExample.java
    PooledExample.java:5: package oracle.jdbc.driver does not exist
    import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
    ^
    PooledExample.java:7: package oracle.jdbc.pool does not exist
    import oracle.jdbc.pool.*;
    ^
    PooledExample.java:15: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : class OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
    location: class PooledExample
    OracleConnectionPoolDataSource poolDataSrc =
    ^
    PooledExample.java:16: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : class OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
    location: class PooledExample
    new OracleConnectionPoolDataSource();
    ^
    4 errors
    Where can I find/download the package that contains these classes (I'm assuming that there missing)? Is it possible that JDBC 2.0 works for Oracle9i only? (I'm using Oracle8i)
    I looked on Oracle's website but its not clear where to download this API
    Thanks!!!

    They should be in classes12.zip (oracle.jdbc.driver definitely is). It sounds like you don't have classes12.zip in your classpath when you are compiling. Normally you don't use the Oracle classes directly so you only need classes12.zip when running your application but in your case you are directly referring to them in your Java source code so you need them when you compile.

  • Am I able to download the games that came with my PC?

    Am I able to download the games that came with my PC onto my IPad?

    No.  Those games were written for whatever language your pc speaks.  The pad runs on a system called iOS, and it is a totally different type of system.
    The good news is that most common games have a version written for the pad in the app store.  Take a look!

  • Why are there ads in games that I have purchased?  Can I get rid of these ads?

    Why are there ads in my games that I have purchased.  How do I get rid of the ads?

    The developer participates in the ad program to provide income, usually in exchange for offering the application for free or at a low price. Some developers offer an ad-free version of the app at a higher price, so you might look for that possibility.  If they only offer a single version, though, then you're stuck with the ads, though you can urge the developer to offer an ad-free version as well.
    Regards.

  • Is there anything I can do for my iPod Classic that got washed with a load of laundry?

    Is there anything I can do for an iPod Classic that got washed with a load of laundry? Sincerely appreciate any feedback

    John,
    Needless to say, one would expect water damage as a result of a washer to be extensive.  That doesn't necessarily mean you have no chance of repair however.  I've seen and heard of a couple of do-it-yourself fixes and, if none of those help, you can always try sending it for repair.
    At home, I recommend trying...
    Leave the iPod in a bowl of uncooked (raw) rice.  Supposedly, the rice often absorbs the moisture in the surrounding area and, sometimes, from an electronic part.  Leave it for at least 24-48 hours.
    Leave the iPod in the sunlight for several hours.  When doing this, make certain to avoid direct sunlight as it may damage the unit.
    If all else fails, consider contacting a repair center.  Local is better but, if you have to ship it, contact them and explain your situation before you invest in shipping costs.

    How can I find my iPod touch that got lost ? But I don't have the Find my Phone app .
    Please , help me ..

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
