Can't download a purchased album in iTunes (Some Kind of Trouble)

Hello Community,
I'm not able to download a purchased album in the iTunes Store, on the album page there are some titles where it says that I have purchased it before, but i can't download those titles. An then there are some titles on wich only the price is mentioned. The weird thing is that on my iPhone I'm able to load the album out of the iCloud, but when I do this some titles are in the normal version of the album, and some others in the Deluxe Edition - album, wich looks really dumb, like in the picture below.
Hopefully someone of you unterstands my problem, an can help me.

Hi Kiesel10,
If you are having issues redownloading a previously purchased album or track, you may find the following article helpful:

How do I download previously purchased albums from iTunes when the album has either disappeared from my computer or the tunes are not playable? The albums show as purchased on the iTunes store, but not available to download to my authorized device. I also have albums that appear in my library, but are not able to be added to my iPod from my computer

When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

How many times can you download a purchased tune from iTunes?

I am in the process of cleaning up my itunes. I am deleting duplicates. I find that I have duplicates of purchased tunes. Don't know how this even happens but now that I've put 700 duplicates in the wastebasket, I find a lot of purchased tunes gone from the library. The view in the trash does not include artists name so if you don't know the specific name of each song, ouch! My thinking was that if I could redownload tunes that I purchased already from Itunes, I could save my self a lot of work. Any help would be appreciate guys.

+When you buy a song, video, iPod Game, or album from the iTunes Store you are entitled to download it a single time. If you want to download it again, you must purchase it again. You can copy downloaded content between authorized computers.+
+Important: Make a backup of the content you purchase. In case of data loss, including hard drive failure or replacement, accidental deletion, and so forth, you'll be able to restore it from the backup. See How to back up your media in iTunes for instructions.+

Music and apps lost from iphone, Can I download already purchased music from itunes again?

I recently had a problem and apps on my iphone would not open, so I restored my phone to the factory settings and I lost all of my apps and music because I failed to sync them properly, can I download the songs and apps I already purchased on itunes again? how?

Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
For redownloading apps, look here for instructions. For songs, movies, and videos, if you don't have a backup of your purchased items and don't have them on another iOS device, you may be out of luck and will need to repurchase your content.
If you have your content on an iOS device, post back and someone here can help you get them restored. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis.
Regards.

HT203175 downloading a purchased album from itunes is stuck for 12 hours

I purchased an album on itunes store but downloading the album is stuck for 12 hours.

I can't download previously purchased items from itunes to my ipad

I just got a new ipad, and followed the directions to download previously purchased music and video to the ipad. I go into Itunes, select purchased, choose what I want. The ipad then tells me that it is downloading, but once it finishes, the music and video do not appear in the music/video section of the device. The 'usage' also tells me that I don't have any music or video.
Has this happened to anyone else?

I had an issues similar to this with purchased music not all that long ago, and rebooting (I think) is what got it working for me again.
See if this helps - sign out, restart, sign in again and try again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
I would suggest rebooting the router - unplug it for about 30 seconds, and you can try that - but I'm not sure if that will help. It won't hurt anyway.

When I download a purchased album from iTunes, why is that I do not get record label information/copyright information?

Hello all,
I have OCD, and all my music is Purchased from iTunes. I used to have all my albums correctly organized and catelogued, and they always had their respective record labels/copyright information.
I had to redownload some music, and they are coming without this tag. Does anyone know why?
I have already deleted/redownload the whole library many times and it looks random. On my iPhone for example, the same album from Amy Winehouse yesterday was download twice, one time it came with all the correct tags, the next time it did not.
WHY does this happen? Where are we downloding music from?
This really bothers me. My music looks like it is not original and honestly I´m getting tired of trying to redownload everything over and over. I know these tags can be added manually - BUT I paid, and iTunes isn´t cheap, so what the ****?
And I know many might think this is very stupid, but it is a tag, as any other tag. What if your next redownload came with no album art?

You're not OCD. If you were OCD you would be so concerned about order that you would have a proper backup of your library and you could instantly replace anything missing with the exact beautifully organized copy you had before from the tragic and devastating disappearance of the track from your computer. If you have to re-download from Apple because something went missing on your computer it means sloppy computer habits.
I don't have any iTunes Store purchases but when I saw one on a computer once I recall copyright being stated in the summary information.

I recently purchased two albums which iTunes (Apple) has buried in Mac cyberspace. How do I synch my iPod so that I can download the two albums from iTunes onto my iPod. Thank you from [email protected] in Oviedo, FL

In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

Can't download purchased album from Itunes Store is any one else having this problem?

Can't seem to download a purchased album from the itunes store is anyone else having the same problem? It has deductedt the amount from my account however!

I ordered mine the very same day the iPT was available in Sweden. As we are a non-iPhone country I looked with envy on my friend's jailbroken phones and especially the Mail and Calendar applications. The iPod was cool, but... - just anothr iPod with smaller memory than my old one.
After the release of the Jan software I felt ripped-off for a couple of minutes and then bought the upgrade. Since then I have been soooo happy. The software architecture in the iPT/iPhone that allows Apple to 1) add great apps later on and 2) generate a SDK for 3rd parties is amazing.
Comparison: my old Nokia N70 phone cost about $250 more than the iPT (not including the 12 month lock-up to the provider) and has so far been in for upgrades (at Nokia and later on downloads via Internet) five times. In no upgrade was any additional functionality added, just bugs corrected and bugs added.
However, the path Apple is taking on this is very narrow. If they are to charge $20 to get SDK functionality to the iPT I will probably eBay the iPT and go for a jailbroken iPhone. I accept the $20 on occasions - it should not be a subscription fee. The approach of distributing 1.1.3 without the apps is a stroke of genius IMHO, but please - don't push it too far...
Best wishes,
/msa

HT201253 Iphone 5s not syncing music to phone with itunes 12.0.1.26 - also cannot download full purchased albums, only some tracks

The fun of new updates on my Windows 8.1 laptop and iphone 5S 64gb.
I noticed since my last sync that some tracks had magically been removed - so I wanted to full sync. This couldn't even be instigated unless I deleted all my music off of phone, now it just hangs when syncing - for hours. No updates on how many tracks out of how many tracks have been synced.
Also my purchased albums - I can see them on itunes as whole ones that are purchased, same on iphone.
I then go to iphone to download my purchased items via itunes app, and it only shows some songs. An example is Drake, Game etc. - seems to affect full albums I've bought that are "deluxe" editions.
All the normal/single edition albums seem fine.
Absolutely fantastic, can't get my music onto phone except some purchased items - and even then it doesn't show all my purchases.
Not sure if setting up family share affected things, but it can't even handle the simple tasks let alone downloading content from other users purchasers (which it detects fine ironically). New features but can't do anything that has previously been fine.
Flabbergasted, had one work iphone4s 16gb and 64gb personal previously - no problems with same laptop.
My alienware laptop is very high spec with SSD, so the fault does not lie here - apple related software or product.

It couldn't do over 50gb in one go, had to do two half syncs to get all music on - i think this is limitation of the itunes software - pretty shocking really.

If you didn't make a back-up of your music/movie 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:
"Products may only be downloaded once; after being downloaded, they cannot be replaced if lost for any reason. Once a Product is purchased or rented (as applicable) 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 If you have an iPod that still has any of your purchases on it you'll find details in this article on how to transfer them to the computer: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store Failing this, 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.

Can't download song purchased from Itunes from one computer to another using same Apple ID

Hi, I am operating itunes 11 at home, using Mac OS 10.7.5.. I purchased a song at work (also a Mac, I am not sure which version of OSM or itunes). I accessed the purchase of the song in the "Purchased" menu option in itunes on my home Mac. When I tried to download the song at home so I can include it in my Library, I got the following message:
This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days.
So: just to be clear:I can only buy something from itunes from one computer and save to another with the same Apple ID only every 90 days??? And if that is the case, I have not purchased anything from my work computer within 90 days of this recent song purchase. That just does not make sense to me, since the license covers 10 devices anyway, and I am using the same Apple ID.
Let me know if I am not understanding this correctly, or am doing something wrong. It just does make not sense to me that I can't download a purchase I made from one computer to another since I am paying Apple for the music and just accessing it elsewhere, using the same account.
Thanks so much.

Thanks for the response. Yes, my husband logged on to our computer and rented a movie for us to view. That is how we use Itunes: I purchase the music, he may purchase a movie or a rental now and then. This is new, it never happend before.
Also, I contacted customer support, both by phone and email. Not only does someone else using the home computer under a different account trigger this, but so does simply activating my own user id from a different computer (one of the 5 I am allowed to under the service agreement.)
Customer support was very helpful and lifted the 90 day ban. I called them because I purchased a season pass of a TV show and could not download the first episode because it was a "past purchase" (the episode was not even available to download when I purchased the pass, so “past” is indeed relevant.)
But I don't see the point of purchasing content from Apple now. This feature limits the accessibility of legal purchases under the service agreement. Why allow 5 computers per Apple ID if activating one of them limits the ability to download content for 90 days??
I (used to) buy movies, rentals and TV shows all the time. I don’t have cable, so Apple was the source for all “must have” shows that I couldn’t wait for. Too bad.

Why do i have to pay more than once for my purchased album in itunes, when i download them again?

Probably because you purchased them again, instead of following the proper method for redownloading apps.
