Computer Crashed... Is there a way to get back purchased music?

Hi,
does anyone know if it is possible to get music that was purchased thought the itunes store back without having to pay for it again. My hard drive got destroyed. Thank you for your time and thoughts!

Use the form on this page to request a free redownload, or use the Transfer Purchases feature if applicable. If neither of these works, you will need to purchase the songs and other content again to get them back; Apple needs to pay the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts and album artwork.

  • I recently moved to USA from Canada. I have not changed my apple id but I have changed my phone and computer. Is there a way to retrieve my purchased music via iTunes? I checked what was available to download and only got a few digital booklets.

    Most Windows users don't.
    Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
    Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

  • 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

    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.

  • Got a new hard drive, is there any way to get my purchased music and not purchased music on my macbook?

    My macbook pro's hard drive had to be completely replaced and none of my data could be recovered. Is there any way that is 100% sure to not erase all the music off my ipod touch and get all of it (purchased and not purchased) back onto my computer without any software?

    Hi, Shelby.
    The iPod doesn't actually support that. But good news: With the latest version of iTunes, you can re-download all your purchased music for free. Just open the iTunes store and click on Purchased on the right hand side.
    As for the rest, a quick Google search shows there is no Apple supported solution.

  • Computer crashed...how do i get back music i purchased?

    I had to reinstall everything on my laptop, and I lost I Tunes. I have reinstalled it, but is there any way to get back the music that I paid for through itunes? Do i have to repurchase it? Surely not......right?

    If 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

  • I got my hardrive replaced a few months ago when it crashed. I don't have iPhoto on my computer anymore, is there a way to get it back at all or do I have to buy it?

    I got my hardrive replaced a few months ago when it crashed. I don't have iPhoto on my computer anymore, is there a way to get it back at all or do I have to buy it?

    You must use the same Apple ID used for the original iPhoto purhcase.
    Open the App Store then select Purchases from the menu top of that window.
    Click Download to the right of iPhoto.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Ensure you have iTunes 10.3.1 or later.
    Open iTunes, in the sidebar choose 'Purchased', on the 'Purchased' page choose 'Download Previous

  • I had music that I copied from disks into itunes on another computer, I no longer have that computer. Is there a way to get that music I previously had on itunes and put it on my current iphone?

    I had music that i copied from disks into itunes on another computer, I no longer have that computer. Is there a way to get that music back from itunes?
    Thanks

    If you failed to maintain a backup copy, then you would have to import the disks again.

  • I have an 11" MacBook Air.  When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer.  Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter?  (It works with my MacBook Pro)

    Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
    If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
    -USB-to-VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
    -Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
    The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

  • HT4527 My laptop that currently has my itunes library on it is broken and so I can not access it. Is there a way of getting my whole music library put onto a different laptop?

    My laptop that currently has my itunes library on it is broken and so I can not access it. Is there a way of getting my whole music library put onto a different laptop?

    You can have two separate libraries, just do not put them into the same location on the computer. You could also create a new user on the laptop, you, and then you would start out with a blank iTunes library, then just add yours to that. It would also prevent you and your girlfriend from mixing content up unless you share an Apple ID.

  • Is there a way to get back lost information on a phone that was synced to the wrong itunes account

    is there a way to get back lost information on a phone that was synced to the wrong itunes account? My sister and I share a computer and she accidently did the itunes restore on her phone under my name so all of my contacts, apps, ect are on her phone and all of her info is gone. Is there a way to undo the reset? PLEASE HELP!!!

    She can restore to a previous backup, if she has one. Or she
    can restore via iCloud if she has that setup.

    I thought that I had backed up my pictures to icloud, but when I looked online at icloud, I don't see pictures listed.  However, a few of the recent pictures have shown up on my phone.
    IHow could I get these from my MacBook to my phone?
    Thanks again.
    When you log into you icloud account on your computer you are viewing data that you sync to icloud not the backups.  You can't view the backups.
    Look at the two links I provided.
    You still didn't answer any of my two questions I asked.

  • Is there a way to get back a previous iTunes backup file than the most recent Backup?

    I did a manual backup and wanted to restore the iPhone, but iTunes forced me to update the iPhone before allowing me to restore the iPhone...
    After updating, I realised that iTunes created a backup automatically without confirming with me, and now the latest backup file is not the one I wanted.
    Is there a way to get back the backup file I manually backup?

    Is there a way to get back a previous iTunes backup file than the most recent Backup?
    No, to the best of my knowledge the device backup area is simply updated with new information each time the device is backed up so there are no previous versions preserved. Once a backup has been used to restore a device however it gets locked and dated so that you could return back to that snapshot at a later date.
    Your manual backup should have simply updated the backup with any new data since the last automatic backup. Upgrading should not have overwritten a backup taken just before the upgrade with a, presumably, empty state. Have you actually tried to restore the current backup that is available? It may have what you want after all. You might like to try backing up the current state of the device to iCloud first, or if you have access to another computer back it up to that.
    N.b. I always disable automatic syncing of devices so that I am in better control of when data starts to be written, and in which direction it flows.

    You choose to not copy them off to a computer as they are designed to be.
    If they are no longer showing in iCloud, they are gone.
