Can't download purchased music - no option available on Purchased link

Hi All,
I've just bought a new mac.  I started to move files across from my Windows PC via memory stick.  Long story short i've managed to delete some of my purchased content.  I managed to recover some of the files directly from my ipod, but others I can't get hold of.  I have looked them up on the itunes store and it says that those tracks are already purchased, so won't give me the option to download again.  Most help suggestions point me towards the Purchased link in the itunes store - however all I can see is Apps and Books - there is no Music option.
Can anyone advise how I can recover these lost purchases???

You only get one download.
Unless you are in the U.S.  Then you can use the recently released icloud beta version. 
Are you in  the U.S.?

  • I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    First, are you positive it is really not there?  Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
    If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup.  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Can't download purchased music to video iPod

    I can't download purchased music and videos to my new 30GB video iPod.
    When I try to copy videos or purchased I get an error "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" and iTunes quits after I close the dialog.
    I ran the iPod Updater 2006-01-10 and Restored my iPod. I can download mp3s and a video I created in QT Pro but not purchased music or videos.
    I uninstalled all previous iPodSetup installations, iTunes, QuickTime, rebooted and deleted the iTunes prefs file at:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info\SC Info.sidb
    I reinstalled iPod Updater 2006-01-10 and iTunes 6.0.2 and rebooted.
    The problem remains.

    The problem is on my home computer. I am able to download the same purchased music from my work computer. I've not tried downloading it from my home computer while logged in as a different user. I'll try that tonight. The error message can be viewed at http://knouse.org/images/ituneserror.jpg

  • My wife purchased me a Ipod 80GB back in 2007 under her account. How can in download my music from my PC into my Ipod without using her password

    My wife purchased me a Ipod classic 80GB back in 2007, she also has a Ipod classic, but both are under user name and password. I have a newer PC. How can I download the music from my PC to my Ipod?

    iRip is a nice little program  it will get all your music, books, podcasts off your iPod without knowing a password or the iPod not sync to the iTunes library.

  • I have a windows pc.  How can I download purchased items which have become corrupted on my PC.  I can't use iCloud

    I have a windows pc.  How can I download purchased items which have become corrupted on my PC.  I can't use iCloud without an Apple device.  I have gone into purchased but next to each title it merely says 'downloaded'.  I need to download them again.  It will cost a fortune to re-purchase the corrupted music!

    I tried that but it just shows 'downloaded'.  There is no little cloud next to that wording.  On an Itunes help page it shows a 'library icon' once you have logged in but that does not appear on my version of ITunes which is 11.1.  I have lost so many peices of music!  Is this some ploy by Apple to get you to buy them all over again??  Thanks for you response, if you can think of anything else I would be most grateful

  • Automatic Downloads and Strange Error Message: "You can auto-download purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days"

    Hi gang-
    Yesterday I noticed that iTunes on my iMac had not auto-downloaded several new songs that I had recently purchased on my iPhone.    In iTunes Preferences, under Store -> Automatic Downloads, I always have Music selected so all songs purchased from any device using my Apple ID normally download automatically.
    To troubleshoot this, I double-checked my Preferences and sure enough, Music was de-selected under Automatic Downloads.   I then Selected it and clicked OK.   Here's where it gets weird and I get this error message:
    This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.  You can auto-download purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 84 days.
    I read and re-read this message and none of it seems to apply to me.   I have only one Apple ID.   I am currently logged in with iTunes to that one Apple ID.   All my iTunes Music ever has been purchased with that one Apple ID.   I am not trying to associate this computer or any other with a different Apple ID.
    I logged iTunes out and then back in again and tried all the above- but same error message.
    So, as it is now, I am unable to turn on Automatic Downloads in iTunes.   
    Anyone know what the heck is going on?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Hey gang-
    Okay, this gets more and more bizarre.   I sent a support email to Apple and basically they said  "...it seems that someone else associated your Mac with their Apple ID. That's the reason your purchases won't download."
    Yikes!   My wife and I live alone- and we have exactly one and only one Apple ID.    Would somebody have needed physical access to my iMac to do that?
    Support then said "You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer."
    Okay- so I logged into My Account in iTunes.   On the list of associated devices, my own iMac is NOT on that list.   But I am logged in under the same Apple ID I've had for years on that iMac.
    So my big question right now is...if my iMac (that I've owned for 5 years) has somehow been dis-associated from my Apple ID, how do I find out what Apple ID it is associated with?
    Thanks gang for trying to help me unravel a mystery.
    Dave
    PS- Here's an Apple Tech article on iTunes associations, but it doesn't really go beyond what we've discussed above:

    I Need help!!! The card I used when I first set up my account I lost it so now I can't download any music cause it's wanting a number off that card and I don't have it anymoe... Someone tell me what to do please???

    Add another good card and delete the old one, Yu can also purchase and redeem an iTunes gift card and hthen delee the bad credit card.  Yu need a valid payment method for update as well even purchasing free apps if the account was set up with a credit card.

  • Error can t Download the Music iTunes Match

    Error can t Download the Music iTunes Match

    Is it giving you a specific error number? And what kind of network connection do you have?
    One thing you might try is a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset. Not sure it would help, but it will not hurt.

  • Can you download a music DVD to iTunes

    I was just wondering can you download a music DVD to iTunes?

    (1) If you're talking about commercial, copyright-protected DVDs, you should be aware that it is illegal in many counties, possibly including yours.
    (2) If you're talking about commercial, copy-protected DVDs, you should be aware that providing advice on breaking copy protection schemes is illegal in the US, where this forum is based; posting such advice would break the forum's ToU, and hosting such advice would make Apple liable to prosecution.
    (3) If you're talking about DVDs which are not copy protected and whose copyright holder gave you the licence to copy them, then you may use Disk Utility. Once copied, you can play the content using DVD Player.
    For common DVD, i think hanbrake can meet your needs.

  • I can't download any music from itunes, says there is not enough memory to support the download

    I can not download any music from itunes, little box pops up and says there is not enough memeory to download?

    iCloud storage has absolutely nothing to do with local storage. You need to free up space on the iPad in order to download the movies. You can transfer some content into iTunes and then delete it from the iPad in order to make room on the device.
    Settings>General>Usage>Storage is where you delete content if you want to do it in there.
