Getting purchased songs to the iPod

Had my Alum PB's hard drive crash. It got repaired with AppleCare.
I used Senuti to transfer all the songs from the iPod to the laptop.
I then set iTunes to automatically update. I authorized the computer.
As it started to update, I was notified that the songs I had purchased could not be copied to the iPod as it wasn't authorized to do this. I also now see that these songs are not showing on my Purchased list. When checking for purchases, I get the response that all purchased songs have been downloaded.
How do I get these tunes on to my iPod? How do I get the songs to show on the Purchased list?
Thanks,

Can you burn the purchased songs to a CDR? If so, do that, burn them to an audio CD then re-import them. This strips off the restrictions and protections rendering them like any other CD music you import. And then you can store the CDRs away as a backup of your purchase.

I am on Icloud with 2 computers cell phone and my ipod..... My question is how do I get purchased songs on my ipod from the different computers.

I am on icloud with2 computers , Ipod and iphone I want the purchased songs on each computer to download to my ipod. I thought all three devices were able to communicate from the icloud. How do I do this.....

Hello billy-the-kid,
This can be done by verifying that each device and computer is signed into the same iTunes Store account, and enabling Automatic Downloads on all of them.

Just bought an ipod. cant purchase songs on the ipod because its asking for secruity questions i have never set up.

Ipod touch

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Getting purchased songs from itunes store onto new computer

I have a brand new computer and ipod, and I'm wondering if there is a way to get previously purchased songs from the itunes store into my library and onto my ipod. My computer is already authorized and I know there is a way to get purchased songs from an ipod into itunes, but I can't figure out store into library. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I know there is a way to get purchased songs from an ipod into itunes, but I can't figure out store into library.
I am confused. Purchased items are from the store.
iTunes is the library.
So if you know how to get purchased > iTunes, then you already are moving store > library.
The easiest way to get everything from old computer to new computer is...
Copy the entire \Music\iTunes folder from the old computer to \Music\ on the new computer.
You can use your iPod.
See this -> <How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer/a>

I purchased songs via my ipod touch. when I sync'd my ipod touch with my computer, the songs I purchased disappeared into a black hole... how do I get them back without having to repurchase?

On your iPod Touch, open the iTunes app. There should be tab named "purchased", which shows all your purchase history. Choose the "Not on this iPod" tab and you'll get a list of purchased products that are not on your device. Hope this helped.

Maybe you have multiple accounts that's why your purchase history is empty. You can try checking for possible Apple IDs that's existing for you or you can ask for assistance from support.

wow ... I get a headache just trying to read what you just said. I went and read how to migrate my library and found that you can only migrate purchased media.
No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.

You can recover purchases by installing the latest version of iTunes to your laptop, then select the 'purchases' tab under Store in the sidebar and look at the lower left of the iTunes window for a link to: 'Download Previous Purchases'

After purchasing songs at the itunes store, my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
This was the first purchase I made.

Are you following these instructions?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Where is the lock icon on the screen?

When I hook my ipod up to my mac I used to get the Itunes has detected an ipod that appears to be corrupted error message.

Then the spinning colored pinwheel pops up and I can't use iTunes. Please HELP!!!!!!

Sounds like your iPod is broken. Take it to Apple or someone else who repairs iPods and see if you can get it fixed, or get it replaced.

My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now? iTunes now says that I have to wait another 55 days! There must be a way to do this since I have paid for them.

In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

recently "lost" a purchased song, (Plus the accompanying artwork) from my i-tunes library, after upgrading my O.S. from windows XP to windows 7.
Is there any way to get the original song back, or, at least, re-purchase it?... I tried to do the latter, (It's still available in the itunes store) but, when I clicked on the buy link, I was informed that I had already bought it and was only given the option to, either, copy the link or send it to Facebook/Twitter
I also, inadvertently, deleted a couple of default playlists (Notably recently added) while attempting to get the song back.
Can someone out there, please, help me out. with the solution(s). (preferably step by step if possible, as I'm a bit of a Homer Simpson when it comes to this sort of thing) .. Doh!! :-(
