Computer Crashed...How do I get my purchased music back?

I purchased a ton of music on itunes...until my computer crashed. I got a new computer and was wondering if there was anyway I could get those songs I bought back on my new computer.
Thanks
Steve

If you have an iPod 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 to a computer
If you have no iPod and the purchases weren't backed up I'm afraid 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

    In the iTunes App there is a tab called Purchased. You'll find your musics there.

  • HOw do I get my purchased music back after having to restore my Ipod touch

    I had to restore my Ipod touch because of a corrupted file. How do I get my purchased music back?

    The answer is that the iCloud advertising in Danish speaks of restoring apps, books and music and shows this, and in small print / gray print adds that in some countries this is not available. The Danish copy does not say that in Denmark the service is unavailable (suppose the English copy in US spelling showed the service, but did not say that the service was unavailable in the US).

    Gendannelse, der ikke er et stort projekt.
    Når du indstiller en ny iOS-enhed eller skal gendanne oplysningerne på en, du allerede har, klarer iCloud-sikkerhedskopiering det tunge arbejde. Forbind enheden med Wi-Fi-netværket, og indtast din Apple-id og adgangskode. Dine personlige data – og musik, programmer og bøger købt fra iTunes – vises på enheden.2
    2. Sikkerhedskopiering af købt musik ikke tilgængelig i alle lande. Tidligere indkøb gendannes måske ikke, hvis de ikke længere findes i iTunes Store, App Store eller iBookstore.
    After another couple of hours of hunting around, a Knowledge Base article in Danish turns up which begins by saying that purchases from the App Store, the iBookstore and the iTunes Store are restorable, but in small print / gray print advises which countries the service in fact covers. Denmark is not covered.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539?viewlocale=da_DK
    I iTunes 10.3 3 og iOS 4.3.3 eller nyere (iOS 5 eller nyere til iPhone (CDMA-model)) kan du automatisk få overført køb fra App Store, iBookstore og iTunes Store til dine andre computere og enheder.
    Automatisk overførsel af musik og overførsel af tidligere købt musik er for tiden kun mulig i Argentina, Australien, Belgien, Bolivia, Brasilien, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cypern, Den Dominikanske Republik, Ecuador, El Salvador, Frankrig, Guatemala, Honduras, Irland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Slovakiet, Spanien, Schweiz, Storbritannien, Tjekkiet, Tyskland, USA og Venezuela.
    Naturally, the Danish copy should in both the advertising and in the additional information start by clarifying that music is not restorable for Danish customers. Instead, the Danish copy extolls a service that does not cover the iTunes Store in Denmark. The term for this in Danish is 'vildledende markedsføring' which is to say that the marketing is misleading.

  • Computer crashed, how can I get Photoshop Ele. Back?

    My computer crashed last week and I had Photoshop Elements 9 installed on it. It has been quite a few years since I bought the program and I have since lost the disc during the multiple moves I've went through. Is there any way I could redownload it somehow without paying for it again? My computer is basically trash now so there's no real way for me to get the program off or deactivate it.
    Please, any helo you can give would be much appreciated.

    If you registered it with Adobe you can check My Account and get s/n and see if download link exists.  PSE forum is http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements

    however now i have lost all  the music i brought on my iphone which im not happy about.

    please

    No iTunes content on your iPhone is included with the iPhone's backup, but if you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, any music purchased direct with your iPhone will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
    If you are in the US, check this link.

  • How do I get my purchased music back after turning off iTunes Match without having to go back through iTunes and individually download each album?

    I absolutely hate iTunes Match. It is difficult to work with when it comes to music not purchased through iTunes. So I want to turn it off. How do I do and still have my purchased music through iTunes without having to go through each album/song that I've ever purchased and redownload? That would take FOREVER.

    If iTunes Match is turned off, go to preferences > store>Tick box show iCloud purchases. Once done all purchased music will appear. Go to song list view, select all tracks, ctrl+click and select download from pop up.
    Alternatively, go into iTunes Store > Quicklinks purchased and select not on this computer. Select download all.

  • My computer crashed, how do I get my purchases back?

    I don't have my purchases backed up on an iPod because I was just using an iPod shuffle. Can I redownload the songs/podcasts/audiobooks etc. without having to pay again?

    You cannot.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • I just got a new hard-drive and didn't get a chance to backup my hard-drive, how do I get my purchased music back?

    like it says in the question exactly, I spent money on those songs and movies and I want them back.

    then you should have backed them up.
    It has always been very basic to ALWAYS maintain a backup copy of your computer.  If you fail to do this, you will lose something at some point.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod.  File>Transfer Purcahses
    You buy one download only.  You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow. 

  • My old computer crashed how do i get the music from my ipod to sinc with my itunes library?

    My old computer crashed how do i get the music from my ipod to sinc with my itunes library?

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music that you've bought from other sources or copied from your own CDs then have you not got a backup of them on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto the computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off - this post mentions some that were around a couple of years ago, whether they still exist and work I don't know.

  • When your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer

    when your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer?

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you don't have one there is the possibility of recovering from the old hard drive even if the system won't start, a link on how to recover your qualifying store purchases, and backup advice for the future.
