Down loading previously purchased songs

Our last home PC's hard drive crashed. All my purchased music was on there. I now have a new laptop, do I have to repurchase all previous music and apps?
Thanks

Where is your backup? You should always maintain a backup.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:
File>Transfer Purchases

Have a new computer and want to down load previously purchased movies how do i do this

Install iTunes. Login with your apple ID and click "iTunes store". Click "purchased" on the right and you should see all previously purchased content to download.

Loading Previously Purchased Songs on New Computer

I'm looking to load previously purchased songs onto a new computer. My old computer received a virus (those people are going to ****) and I want to recapture all the music I previously purchased. Is that possible?
I tried the "check for purchases" under the tools button but only two songs came through.

Assuming you have an iPod - hook it up to your "puter & you should receive a dialogue box which states that there are songs on your iPod that are not on your "puter "do you wish to transfer them?
Press Ok & sit back & relax. If not call apple & explain your plight to them, they can do this as I found out ( before I sussed connecting my iPod up though!). However they will ask you to detail all your purchase dates & order No.s etc. but you will be able to get this info by logging on to your iTunes account. Tiresome but it worked for me!.
Hope this helps

HT201272 Down load previous purchases not listed in "Previous Purchases"

When I go to my previously purchased items in iTunes store two films which I have purchased do not appear. Can anyone help?

Are they still in the store (fim studios occasonally remove their films), or are they hidden from the Purchased link (hiding and unhiding) ? Some studios also don't allow their films to be re-downloaded, in which case do you have them on your backup of your downloads ?

Hi..
Launch iTunes on your Mac.
From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer
Then follow the instructions here > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchases.

Can not down load older purchased music

I Have and IPAD w/retina display. Problem. deleted all playlist from my iTunes By accident. Seems like the libraries are gone. I went to the store to down load my purchased music and it will not allow me to download the music. Also I purchased a new song and it wouldn't let me down but it showed up in my music. All I need to know is how I can get my music back unto my IPad. I do not have access to the Internet all the time so it's critical that the music gets back to my IPad.
Any help would be appreciated.
Dawn
P.S.
I Do have a Windows PC which still seems to have the music. I tried to share but it didn't work.

If you are in a country where you can redownload music (and if the music is still in the store and you haven't changed countries since buying it) then it should show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app for redownloading.
For home sharing, you can use that to stream content to an iOS device (home sharing has to be enabled by the same account on both your computer's iTunes and iPad, and they have to be connected to the same network), but you can't use it to copy content to an iOS device.
You should be able to resent your music back to your iPad from your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351.

HT204406 Is there a way to down load specific, individual songs on my iphone 5 or ipad 2, through iTunes Match, rather than having to download the entire album in the Cloud?

Begin by tapping on the Settings app.
Scroll to the Store menu and tap that.
This is where you can manage your Automatic Download settings. You can control Music, Apps, and Books (if you have the iBooks app installed) here. Slide to On any of the kinds of files you want iCloud to automatically download to your device.

I just purchased a new Mac and I am trying to download my previously purchased songs. I am only getting a portion of each song though. What is happening and how do I fix it?

I just purchased a Mac and downloaded my previously purchased songs from iTunes, however it only downloaded a portion of the song (about 1:15) and this appears to be the same on all of the songs. What is happening and how can I fix it?

Hello Pork Chop 2,
Congratulations on your new Mac! It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them. I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.

Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

On a Mac OS X version 10.4.11 and itunes 9.1.1. Can't update to itunes 10.6Trying to get a previously purchased song. Can't use the purchased option under quick link - nothing shows up and won't let me purchase an already purchased song. What can I do?

On a Mac OS X version 10.4.11 and itunes 9.1.1. Can't update to itunes 10.6, Mac too old. Trying to get a previously purchased song. Can't use the purchased option under quick link - nothing shows up and won't let me purchase an already purchased song. What can I do?

If possible you need to upgrade OS X. However, what you can upgrade to is dependent on what your Mac hardware and configuration is which you have not provided in your profile.

HT201272 My computer is authorized, my database was corrupted, I went to download previous purchased songs. I can find them, under the purchased link, it will not let me download, To the right it says downloaded in grey and does not give me a choice. Wha

Can't DL previous purchased songs on authorized computer

If you still have the entries for the songs in your iTunes library (even if the actual music files no longer exist), then iTunes assumes that you already have them and that there is no need to re-download them - try deleting the entry for one of them from iTunes and then try re-downloading it, and if it works then do the same for the others

How to recover previously purchased songs

I had previously had an iPod. I used to buy song directly off the iPod. The iPod had never been plugged into a computer. Since then that iPod has been wiped clean. My QUESTION is: is there a way to get those previously purchased songs on my new iPod. When I go onto the iTunes Store it says those old. Songs have been purchased?

You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT201272 Is there a limit on downloading previously purchased songs?

Is there a limit on downloading previously purchased songs?

I think what the message is saying is that if you download past purchases for that account then you will be tying the Mac to that account for 90 days - I was thinking that it was saying that it's already associated with an account, not that you are about to associate it. If you don't want that to happen (which if it's your only account then it shouldn't be an issue), then you should be able to copy the content from your other Mac to it via, for example, home sharing : copying content between computers.

I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device. The iCloud download button is not there. Help?

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

Re-downloading all previously purchased songs

Hiya,
Just wondering if there is a quick and easy way of re-downloading all previously purchased songs onto my iTunes (I have purchased a new computer and the old one is dead). I have already authorised this computer, but short of going and finding all the purchases I have made in the past, can I just re-download them to here?
Cheers.

As Apple clearly point out in the Terms of Use / Purchase, downloads are allowed to be made once only.
You cannot download your music again, it is your responsibility to have made backups of your music files in case of loss.
Just as a record store won't replace a lost CD, Apple will not replace lost downloads.
I suggest you either transfer the music you purchased from the old computer to the new computer, or you get a copy of the music out of your last backup.
If you cannot access the old computer and you do not have a backup then do you have the purchases on an iPod / iPhone? If you do then you can connect the device to iTunes (DO NOT SYNC THE DEVICE WITH ITUNES as that would erase the content from the device). Once connected use the 'Transfer Purchases' option you will find in the file menu in iTunes.
If you have not got the music on an iPod, etc then all you can do is send a very polite and humble email to Apple using the 'Report a problem' feature in the Account area of iTunes and ask them to allow you to download all your music again. It has been known for Apple to allow this to be done, but they don't need to do so and may refuse.
If they do then you will have lost all your purchased music, your fault not theirs.
