Can't play music that I have bought

I dont have the same username on my mac in OS X. Which leads to problem to deauthorize my itunes account. I can’t play music that I buy, and free movies doesn’t work either. I know this is the problem, cause I have tried to reformat using my old account name in OS X, which led to no problems in iTunes. I don’t want to use my old account name (OS X).

My old username in OS X----->karasjok
My present username in OS X----->Stian
iTunes account is not the same username as in OS X, I am aware of that. Problem is that I can’t play music bought from iTunes, neither can I deauthorize my iTunes account.
But if I reformat my OS X, use my old username, all of my music bought from iTunes plays well.

HT1391 I can't find music that I have bought in my library

help! I have bought some music. I can see it in my recent puchases and I can play it. but when i search in my main library I can not find it anywhere.

If you're using iOS 7 or 8, tap on the Settings app, then on "Music", and then check "Show All Music" is on. Then go to the Music app and find the album. Click on Download and that's it. You should also be able to download it by going to the "Purchased" link under "Quick Links" on the right-hand side of the iTunes Store homepage and selecting "Music".
If you're using an old version of iOS such as iOS 6.1.6 or lower (until 4.3.3), go to the iTunes app, tap on "More", "Purchased" and "Music", then tap on "Not on This iPhone/iPod/iPad" and search for the album.

This may sound dumb but can i return music that i have bought?

I bought an album i was intending on buying, so im wondering if i can return it?

All purchases are final - you can't return something you've already downloaded. If you have purchased something in error you could try asking iTunes Support whether they could consider refunding you just this once: they have been known to do so but please be aware that they are under absolutely no obligation to do so.
To contact them, go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column and then 'iTunes Store' in the third column.

I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 and now my iPhone 4S will only sync purchased music to my phone from iTunes. Help! I have TONS of music that I have bought and burned to my computer, but cannot listen to it on my iPhone. This seems ridiculous!

Also, it's taking FOREVER (over an hour) to sync my iPhone to iTunes...

How can I get these songs to my new phone without having to buy them again?

Whether you can re-download music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it remains in the store). If you don't have a Music section in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading it, then do you not have you library on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download

Hi, I need to re-format my hard drive, as it has a virus, so will lose all my data including itunes. I therefore need to reinstall itunes - but if I do this will I lose all the music that I have bought? How do I reinstall music to the new itunes?

Hi, I need to re-format my hard drive, as it has a virus and is corrupted- so I will lose all my data including my itunes software. I guess I will need to reinstall itunes again - but if I do this will, I lose all the music that I have bought or imported into my library? How do I reinstall my library/playlists to the new itunes?

Make a backup of your media and other important files.
Just to be safe, make a backup of your entire iTunes directory.
Restore computer or do whatever it is you need to do.
Restore your media and other important documents.
Install iTunes.
Try using search next time... this gets asked way too frequently.

HT1349 I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store. It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!

I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store. It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know! I hope it's something quite simple?
Apologies, but none of the communities listed seems to fit this question - so I'm taking pot luck!

For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

Can i download music that i have previously purchased/downloaded?

can i download music that i have previously purchased/downloaded? I paid and downloaded an album then my computer died. I have now lost that album.

If you are in the US then yes, you can re-download past music purchases (assuming that they are still available in the store). If you are not in the US then have you not got a backup anywhere of your music purchases ?

HT201272 How can I redownload music that I've bought before but accidentally deleted?

When I follow the instructions and go into the list of music I have purchased from the iTunes Store, it won't allow me to redownload it. And I can't even re-purchase it; the store says I have it already! So frustrating! Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi Linda!
You are most welcome! And glad that things continue to work well. I knew about that song vs. album thing, because when you go into an iTunes album that you have purchased a song from, it says Purchased next to the song. But, when you go into another album that has that song, it is still "purchase-able". Make sense that iTunes would have no idea of where the exact duplicate of that song might be, because it is often the case that when the same song appears in a different album, it isn't an exact duplicate - maybe it's live, maybe it's 2 minutes longer....
So, hopefully that does explain the "duplicates". Think of it in "real" (vs. virtual) terms. If you bought a single from a record store, and then bought an album that also had that same song on it, you would have two of them. Despite the fact that it is a virtual purchase, it works the same way. Except that iTunes keeps track of the "singles" that you purchase, and if you are purchasing the same album that you bought the single from, you don't pay for it again - something a "real" record store wouldn't be able to do. Bonus!!!
It's only when you purchase a different album with that song on it that you will have a duplicate....
Hope that helps, and again, glad things are working A-OK now.
Thanks for posting back!
Take care,
GB

How to reload music that I have bought

I lost all the info in my iPhone. Now I want to reload all the music
I have bought in iTunes. How do I do this? I have not succeeded and support gives no help.

Did you purchase this music from iTunes, or from elsewhere?
If it is from iTunes, you should find it:
On your iOS Device in the iTunes app under More>Purchased
On your Desktop: iTunes>Store>Check for Available Downloads
OR
iTunes>Preferences>Store>Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases
If you have downloaded or purchased from a third-party, you should be able to just drag the files into iTunes.

I can't play music that I bought on itunes

I purchase an album on itunes just a couple days ago and all of the songs play except one. When I try to play it, it says I need to authorize my computer. When I tried to authorize it, it said that my computer was already authorized. This happens everytime I try to play that song. None of the other songs have any problem. I only have one account with itunes and since I bought it as an album, not individually, I don't know why it would do this. I have tried everything I can think of to get it to play. Please help.

See if this article can help:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

I can't play songs that I've bought

I bought two songs and they stopped downloading in mid stream. I try to resume downloading and I'm told that they won't resume due to a system error # 8248. I have reported them to itunes, I have repaired my problem but, I need to know if I should try to purchase them again, or if I should wait for someone from itunes to contact me. HELP

No, I haven't figured it out. And no one from Apple has contacted me to help. Very frustrating. Sure makes me want to not buy music on iTunes and just buy CD's.
Do you have a 3GS too? Maybe it's something with that phone??

HT1338 How do i get back my music that i have bought from itunes which i deleted by mistake thanks

how do i get back my music which i deleted by mistake which i bought from i tunes store

Well if it has a non-Filevaulted hard drive, you need to stop using the computer and either take it to a local PC/Mac repair shop that does data recovery or do it yourself with a spare blank powered external boot drive and $100 software that will read the deleted (but not yet overwritten) files.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Once you have the files recovered, back your data up, especially burning data DVD's in iTunes.
Most commonly used backup methods
