Can't redownload a previously bought album

I bought an album on this account 2 years ago, it's still listed on my purchase history, but when I hit the "Check for Purchases" button I can't seem to redownload it. Am I doing it wrong? Is there a way for me to download it again without having to pay again?

iTunes will only allow you to download a song or album once. The "Check for Purchases" command will only work if you did not successfully complete the original download (ex. iTunes quits unexpectedly). Usually the only way you can download a item again is if the first file that you downloaded is corrupt. Unfortunately you will most likely not be able to download that album again without having to purchase it again. In the future it would be a good idea to back up your purchased music so this doesn't happen again.

  • How can I restore the previously bought apps after I have formatted my computer without backing up any of my files for iTunes?

    As titled.
    I bought many apps from iTunes at the end of last year, and then my computer had got problem that I had to format and reinstall everything.
    I just want to know how can I restore the previously bought apps once if I forgot to backup any of my files on the computer??
    Would be really grateful if someone can show me how to. Thanks!!
    FYI: At that time I was using iPad 1 and the OS was still 3.1.x. Now I am using iPhone 4 and would like to restore the apps at least those that are compatible to my phone.

  • How can I redownload music I bought on my iphone?

    How can i redownload music I allready purchased on my iphone?
    Is there a way to see a list of music I have allready bought and then redownload it?

    What types of content that you can re-download depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it's still in the store) .
    What can be re-downloaded where : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
    What you can re-download will show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone (and the App Store and ibookstore in the iBooks app), and on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the store home page.
    If you can't re-download it then you should be able to copy it over from your phone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

  • Problem redownloading a previously purchased album

    So a few years ago I bought an album on iTunes and I've had it on iTunes since then. Over the summer, my hard drive had to be replaced, so I had to redownload all purchased music. When I went to go redownload the album, only about half of the songs showed up. The other ones don't appear in the cloud and when I look up the album in the iTunes Store, it gives me the option to complete the album, but it shows that I have only purchased a quarter of the half of the songs on the album that I already have downloaded. Any ideas?

    Well, you can always try this:
    Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
    I don't think they have the info that far back, though. and that brings up anotehr point: Your software is - erm, well - extremely retro, to put it mildly. It won't work on Win 8. So just to spare you trouble and aggravation you might consider simply downloadin the current Elements products and then buy them when the trial runs out...

  • How can I re download previous bought files?

    I have purchased an audiobook (6 files) of itunes 2 hours long each.
    I am able to play them on my Itunes but they are skipped on my ipod! I have since changed my itunes settings AAC and I did get a new bought audio file to play on my ipod! .Now I would like to re download the previously purchaced files so I can get them to play on my ipod

    Sorry but under normal conditions there is no way to re-download purchased music.
    Regarding the skipping audiobook: Make sure to use the current iTunes; also download and run the latest iPod updater: Try to restore your iPod to factory conditions.

    If I'm not wrong, Logic Pro 9 isn't available anymore for download. Anyway, first check if it's hidden, and if so, unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4928

  • HT2905 When I sync recently bought albums to my iPhone I get duplicated tracks.  How can I resolve this.  The duplicated tracks do not appear in my itunes library, just on my iPhone.

    When I sync recently bought albums to my iPhone I get duplicated tracks.  How can I resolve this.  The duplicated tracks do not appear in my itunes library, just on my iPhone.

    It seems to happen with songs that were purchased before synchronizing the new iPhone
    I will tell you how I fixed it.
    Note: I have iTunes in spanish so I will try to translate and figure out the commands that appear on ITunes in english. I will put my translations into brackets. English is not my native language. I will do my best.
    The workaround is:
    1.- Dragg no working songs from iTunes to a folder on the hard disk. (Only for backup purposes)
    2.- Deleted those songs from iTunes library.
    3.- On the left panel in ITunes click on "Purchased" under the STORE option. All your purchased songs will appear on the right panel
    4.- At the bottom and right there is the option : "Download Previous Purchases". Click there.
    5.- Click on the option "Are not in my Library" (top right)
    6.- The songs you deleted from iTunes will appear.
    7.- Downloaded them again. (You have the option to download at the bottom right)
    8.- Syncronize your iPhone and that's all.

    What you can redownload will depend upon what country that you are in (not all content types can be redownloaded in all countries) and whether they are still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their items from sale) - if you go into the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes you should see what you can re-download :
    Or on your phone you can use the Purchased tabs in the iTunes and App Store apps.

  • The songs I bought are not complete songs. Can I redownload?

    I bought an album. The songs are incomplete, about a minute in length only. How can I redownload them?

    If the problem persists after redownloading contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

    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. If you click on this link it'll take you to the support/contact page: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support You might also want to check out these pages for future reference:
