Can't open purchased songs from itunes store

I downloaded songs from itunes store a while back. My laptop crashed and now i have a small ASUS eee pc with a 4gb hard drive. I have windows XP SP1 and cannot upgrade to SP2 (not enough room on my HD). i had to get an older version of itunes that's compatible with SP1. I can see the songs that I purchased but when I click on them it asks for password to authorize, then i enter it and then it says 'this computer is already authorized.' So now, what do I do? Help!!! I want the songs I bought!

Was your backup copy stolen as well?
If so, you can try e-mailing itunes support to see if they will make an exception, although they are under no obligation to do so.

  • Can't download purchased songs from itunes store.

    I recently had my laptop and itouch stolen. I now have a new laptop and itouch and would like to download the already purchased songs from the itunes store onto my new laptop. The itunes store has the songs in my purchase history but I can't find the option to download them again. I tried buying a song again to see if it would state that I had already purchased the song and that I could download it for free. But it only asked me if I would "like to buy it again". Surely their must be a way to download the songs again onto my new laptop. Any help would be great.

    Hello
    In itunes...preferences you can change the setting to import songs instead of mp4  to mp3. Afer changing this setting, right click to the songs and than you are able to convert to mp3. ths's it

  • Unable to purchase songs from itunes store .... ?

    hi ,
    from last few days i am trying to purchase songs from itune store but BUY option in missing .... dun no y ?

    If you've bought them recently, it's not actually an authorization issue; the songs are corrupt. Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

  • I can't copy purchased songs from iTunes onto my iPod on my new computer.

    I have an HP Pavilion zd7000 notebook computer. It's used. It was given to me by a family member. I put my iPod software onto it. I can purchase songs from iTunes, and I can connect my iPod and play the music. However, when I tried to put a purchased song from iTunes onto my iPod, I was told that I wasn't allowed. Is there some sort of security thing I don't know about?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Are you sure your computer is authorized for this? This is probably your issue.
    If you go to the "Advanced" tab on the top in iTunes, is there a "Deauthorize computer..." button or an "Authorize computer..." button? If there's an "authorize computer" link, then that is your issue. Authorize your computer, and you should be able to transfer iTMS purchased songs from iTunes to iPod.
    For details, see this Apple article:
    About iTMS authorization and deauthorization
    I hope this helps you,

  • Getting purchased songs from itunes store onto new computer

    I have a brand new computer and ipod, and I'm wondering if there is a way to get previously purchased songs from the itunes store into my library and onto my ipod. My computer is already authorized and I know there is a way to get purchased songs from an ipod into itunes, but I can't figure out store into library. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I know there is a way to get purchased songs from an ipod into itunes, but I can't figure out store into library.
    I am confused. Purchased items are from the store.
    iTunes is the library.
    So if you know how to get purchased > iTunes, then you already are moving store > library.
    The easiest way to get everything from old computer to new computer is...
    Copy the entire \Music\iTunes folder from the old computer to \Music\ on the new computer.
    You can use your iPod.
    See this -> <How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer/a>

  • Can't purchase songs from iTunes store

    I recently pre-ordered an album from the Australian iTunes store, which has now become available for download, However, when iTunes prompts me to purchase it, an error message appears that says: "The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time. Payment processing is temporarily unavailable. You may continue to browse the store. Please try to make your purchase later."
    When I go to the page that the album is on, and click on "Buy Album", it says the download will begin and that my credit card will be charged for the purchase, even though I'm using Payclick (I don't have a credit card connected with iTunes). If I decide to go ahead with this option, how will the album be paid for, if I don't have a credit card?
    I only contacted Apple Support a few hours ago, so it's too early to have received a response yet.
    Has anyone else been experiencing the same problem?

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one.
    Received a reply from Apple, but they clearly misunderstood my query. They thought I didn't know how to download it. The people who answer these emails must either be very stupid, or they can't speak English properly. I've sent a reply to them, so hopefully this time they'll understand...

  • When recently syncing my iphone, itunes asked me something regarding transfering purchased items or something.. I foolishly didn't read it properly and now I can't get purchased songs from iTunes back on to my iPhone... Please help!!

    Hi,
    When recently syncing my iPhone a message came up regarding transferring purchases or something.. In haste I pressed the wrong reply.. My phone synced, but removed all of the songs I purchased on my iPhone. Although they are still on my iTunes and I can play them.. but they will not sync back to the iPhone what so ever.. I'm stressed out big time and can't believe I was such an idiot lol!! Had a look at a few forums.. But they seem to be about transffering from Iphone to Itunes...
    Please Help xxx

    At the AT&amp;T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
    I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
    I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
    If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
    I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

  • How to Recover purchased songs from iTunes store?

    I recently fixed my iTunes, but in the process I've seemed to have lost about half of my purchased songs. When I go to "My Music" folder to try to get them back they are not there, but in my account I have a recipt of all my purchased songs (so I can prove I've bought them). Any ideas on how to get them back? Thanks for the help.

    f you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from 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 the iTunes Music 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 any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
    If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • Purchased songs from iTunes store without BPM

    I want to make a playlist based on beats per minute. But ever single song/cd I have purchased from iTunes does not have the BPM. I have right clicked and asked for infomration, nothing. I used BEATunes and when I do an analysis with it, it finds the beats per minute on every downloaded cd, but not the purchased songs. How do I get them?

    I treid out beaTunes the other day.
    Took it back off my PC because it can't analyze protected AAC files from the iTunes store.
    If you go to iTunes > Help > Provide iTunes Feedback, please request that Apple enhance iTunes to figure out the BPM of purchased tracks.
    If they are like most companies, the more customer requests they get for a specific feature, the more likely it will be added.

  • 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

  • Can't get purchased songs from iTunes onto shuffle

    Hi, Can someone help me. I purchased songs recently and now I can't get them onto device. Here is is the error message
    <<<the iPod Lauren cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found.>>>>
    What can I do?
    Thanks.

    In iTunes, try the Store menu - use the Authorize Computer option.
    Or you might have reached a limit on authorized devices (I think the limit is 5). I get pretty close with cell phones, nav system and shuffle on same iTunes account.

    iTunes is now uninstalled, You can now install the 8.2 version or any other old version. But she will not able to read your musical library, cause it was created with the 9 version, so you"ll have to do this :
    3. Go in "Music" file and "Itunes" file
    4. just be sure that in "previous library" file, you have the last save of your Library (with the date)
    5. Go again in "Music/ Itunes". and put "library Xml" and "iTunes Library" into the trash.
    6. Copy the last Library save in "Previous Library" and paste it instead of the library you have just erase.
    7. Rename it "itunes library".
    8. You can now install your 8.2 version and listen your music and buy again on itunes store !
