Can't Download "Some" Previously Purchased Music

When I go to the quick link on the ITunes store page and begin downloading my previous purchases it locks up on some of the albums/songs listed. Others download very quickly and easily. Why would this be? I know there's a limit to the number of times it can be downloaded but I don't think I've hit it, or is there another way to know?

There isn't a limit to how many times an item can be redownloaded, the only limit is how long the item remains in the store (rights-holders occasionally remove their items) - and some items (audiobooks and ringtones) are one-time only downloads. I had a problem downloading updates to some apps earlier today (my computer's iTunes kept getting stuck on 'processing' some of them so I had to close/re-open iTunes a number of time), so it might be a server issue.

My husband's computer crashed and he hadn't backed up his ITunes library. How can we download all previously purchased music?

My husbands computer crashed and we don't have a backup of our ITunes. How can we access and download all previous ITunes purchases?

Depending upon which store you use you may be able to recover some of your past purchases. See HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
Go the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. (This should reduce the risk of corrupt downloads.)
For the future backup your library regularly with this User Tip.
If you have an Apple device see: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

how can i download a previous purchase to my new computer?
I can't find it in my purchased category but they appear as purchased on th ei tune store??

What type of item is it ? What you can re-download will show under the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. As long as they are still in the store then your apps and ibooks should appear there, and potentially music, films and tv shows (media can't be re-downloaded in all countries) - audiobooks and ringtones are currently one-time only downloads, so they won't appear.
If they don't show then have you still got copies of the items somewhere e.g. on your old computer (copying between computers) or on a backup of your downloads ?

HT201272 How can I download ringtones previously purchased?

I purchased various ringtones from the iTunes store now I'm trying to download to my new iPhone and I can't find them. How can I download ringtones previosly purchased in the iTunes store? Thanks

Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store. Do you have copies of them in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads ? If not, and if they are still in the store, then you could 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

I need to download some previous purchases and I can't find the download button that the support articles refer to.

I lost some of my purchased music. I read numerous support articles and it seems that the easiest solution is just to re-download those purchases to i-tunes on my pc. The problem is that the articles refer to a download button which I cannot find anywhere. BTW I am using the latest iTunes versin for Windows.

You already have Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152 installed for Firefox on the PC you used to post here, see your ''More system details...'' next to your posting.
There are no 64-bit builds of Firefox made, only 32-bit currently. There are some 3rd party builds floating around out there, but Mozilla doesn't allow them to be named Firefox - they would be called Namoroka for 3.6 versions. Mozilla does have a Minefield 64-bit build for 4.0-pre versions, but it won't be available as Firefox until probably Firefox 5 is released.
If your situation is with a different PC than what you used to post here: 
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Can't download podcasts or purchased music

I am no longer able to download or uopdate my podcasts ( error message: you don’t have enough privileges for this operation) or I get a dotted circle that never moves where the usual circling arrow show download in progress. I tried purchasing and downloading a song from the itunes store. That did not work either. The song shows up at the end of my purchased music list with that same dotted circle. No downloads happening. Could working with itunes match have caused this?

There isn't a limit to how many times an item can be redownloaded, the only limit is how long the item remains in the store (rights-holders occasionally remove their items) - and some items (audiobooks and ringtones) are one-time only downloads. I had a problem downloading updates to some apps earlier today (my computer's iTunes kept getting stuck on 'processing' some of them so I had to close/re-open iTunes a number of time), so it might be a server issue.

How can I download & reinstall previously purchased software?

I purchased Pagemaker 5 many years ago and updated to PM 7 since then. I have a receipt & serial # for the upgrade but no longer have the receipt or the original box with the serial # for PM5. Computer was hit by lightening and had to install all new programs. How can I download and reinstall PM5 (or PM7) from Adobe?

you can download a pagemaker 7 trial here, http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?loc=en&product=pagemaker
but, you'll need the serial number for pm5. check your adobe.com account to see if your software is listed along with your serial number.
and, this may help you find your serial, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html or, it may not.
if you cannot retrieve your pm5 serial, contact adobe support: http://www.adobe.com/support/download-install/supportinfo/

Can't download my previously purchased Pages 2011

I have a 2006 MacBook that will only allow installation of OS X Lion and I decided to reinstall and "simplify" my application selection. I went to reinstall my previously purchased Pages 2011 (and iPhoto 2011) but am told that I can't since: "We could not complete your purchase. Pages can’t be installed on “Davids_MacBook” because Mac OS X version 10.9 or later is required."
So do I no longer have access to my purchased software?

Since this is an international user-to-user community support forum, it might be better if you engaged Apple directly on this issue. Although Apple no longer sells, or offers iWork '09 products via the OS X App Store, there may be alternatives.
Retrieve Pages ’09 from a Time Machine (or other backup).Not certain if iPhoto is a similar granular (/Applications) installation or not.
Perhaps Apple will send you an iWork '09 DVD (which you will need to update from here to latest versions)
I had Pages ’09 v4.2 on my Mountain Lion system. I wanted it updated to v4.3 via the App Store. But as you already noticed, the App Store gave the discouraging message about Mavericks to get the latest version of Pages. I acknowledged, and then the App Store indicated it would then update the current installation to Pages v4.3. This was months ago, and unfortunately, I don't recall the *exact* interaction to make this work.
Use this App Store link to directly communicate with Apple for more resolution on your needs. I have used it before and it works.
