Downloading songs previously purchased on another computer

I bought about ten episodes of a tv show on my parent's computer and started downloading them, figuring that I could simply download them on the internet-accessible computer and transfer the files from this computer to my laptop via my flashdrive (I couldn't use the internet on my laptop >:(. However, due to external (and annoying) circumstances, I must stop downloading these files on this computer's iTunes. I was wondering if one could purchase songs on one computer, not download them on that computer, and then download these songs on another computer that is authorized through my account? Someone plz reply BEFORE I attack my mother.........

yeah, you should be able to stop the downloads on the first PC.
Then select “Check for Available Downloads” under the Store menu in iTunes 8 (or “Check for Purchases” under the Store menu in iTunes 7) on the 2nd PC when you get to it.
The ones you have already downloaded, you'll have to copy over with your flash drive.

  • I'm trying to download a recent purchase on another computer of mine.  I was able to download and then I put in the serial number.  Then Adobe asked me for a qualifying previous version and a serial number?

    The license for the version you are installing is an upgrade, which requires you to identify the older (qualifying) version that you are upgrading from and to provide its serial number as well to prove that you qualify to use the upgrade.  There should be a list to select the older version from followed by entries for the serial number of the older version.

  • How can I download a book purchased on another computer

    I downloaded a book on a laptop which shares my iTunes account. Now I'd like to read it on another computer, which is also authorized to use that account, but I can't find any link or menu item to do that. The book doesn't show up in my Books menu item but it certainly shows in my list of purchases in my iTunes account.

  • Downloaded files originally purchased on another computer aren't playing in full

    Files I had downloaded from iTunes on my old computer only partly play on my new computer. I have authourised the new computer and checked my user name has remained the same.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you not able to uncheck the item in your iTunes sync settings so as to remove it from the phone and then resync it again.

  • Quicker way to download songs previously purchased on itunes

    I've recently set up i-cloud on my ipad and it's showing all of the songs I've puchased previously on itunes.  Is there a quick way to download all of them - last night I was clicking on each one individually and then having to press 'download'!  I'm hoping there's a quicker way!!

    Unfortunately, the only way to re download past purchases is to follow the instructions here >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT201272 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'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. :/

  • How do I download my previously purchased songs (on a different computer) on a PC running XP? I have followed the instructions but none of it allows me to download my songs. I deauthorized all computers and authorized this one only but it didn't help.

    I had to change computers and cannot access my old drive. iTunes shows me the list of songs but I cannot get most to play. Instead I get a message saying "cannot locate"
    I have tried following the support tutorials but it still does not allow me to download my previous purchases.
    I tried de-authorizing all computers and then re-authorizing this on but it still doesn't allow me to access most of my songs.

    It sounds like you might have broken links to your content. Either repair these by putting the files you've recovered where iTunes expects to find them or delete the broken entries then go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on This Computer, and click the download links.
    If you have an Apple device see also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • 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.

  • HT1911 I have reset my Apple ID & Password but I still cannot access the music I purchased using another computer, ID & PW. It keeps saying that my computer is not authorize to play the songs. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. Help!

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup? 

  • I lost a few songs previously purchased. I have to pay again to download them?

    Even if you can't find the tracks on your hard drive there may a broken link somewhere in the iTunes library. Create a smart playlist that matches the track details to be certain. You should delete any broken entry from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help prevent partial downloads...

  • Games I bought years ago, Texas Holdem and iQuiz will no longer transfer to my iPod Classic. They show in my computer "Apps" but they won't transfer. They no longer show that they can be "Re-Downloaded" from "Previously Purchased" they don't exist there.

  • 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.

  • HT201272 When I download a previously purchased song to my iMac only half of the song plays

    Any idea why only half of every song plays when I download a previously purchased album or song to my iMac?

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.
