How can I download previously purchased music

Some previously purchased music has apparently been deleted from my computer, and, consequently, from my iPhone.  Download of previous purchases is one of the new features in 10.3.1.   But, I can't figure out how to do it.  When I go to the selection in the Store, it says that it was purchased and does not give me an option of either downloading it again, or even purchasing it again.

Thanks, Steve.  This did not resolve my problem, but I did get it fixed.  When I did as you suggested and navigated to the selection, it did not show the cloud.  Instead it displayed "Downloaded".  So, I went back to my Library and deleted the entry there.  I forgot to mention that the listing was still in the Library, but the song was not on the disk.  After I deleted the entry, a "cloud" appeared.  I clicked it and an new copy downloaded.
Thanks again for the help.  Although it did not directly fix the problem it got me started in a direction that worked.  I had never used the "cloud" before.
Regards,
Bill

  • Can't download previously purchased music to new iPad "Associated with another Apple ID"

    Hi There,
    I have a brand new iPad Air and can see my previous purchases in the Music app. But when I try to download (by clicking the download/cloud icon) I get a confusing error:
    "This device is already associated with an Apple ID".
    The thing is, this is a brand new device - how could it be associated with another Apple ID?
    The only other Apple ID on the device is the one used for iCloud - could this be confusing things?
    Does anyone know how to get music onto the device?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ben

    Thanks Amish,
    Dang it, I accidently marked your question as the answer from the email notifcation and can't change it.
    I purchased it from Apple and have been in contact with them for over a week. Unfortuantely, they insist I'm logged in using differnt accounts despite me sending screen shots to the contrary.
    I'm posting here becauase I'm getting nowhere with Apple - it's like they're stonewalling or the person I'm dealing with (Russ) is assuming I'm an idiot.
    I've been using Apple products for 25 years, look after an OSX server (have also maintained a Microsoft SBS server) so am quite familiar with computers and user accounts.
    But this situation has me stmped - both in terms of why it doesn't work, and why I can't get Russ to understand that I'm not logged in using a different Apple ID.
    He keeps senindg me links to iTunes terms and conditions - I can't listen to music purchased from Apple on my Apple dvices also purchased from Apple. How can iTunes Ts & Cs justify that?
    I've decided to a go a differnt route and report a problem via iTunes and see if I get a more helpful support guy.

    Hi...
    You can't. Purchases cannot be transferred from one Apple iD to another.
    You will have to repurchase the apps using your new Apple ID.

  • How can I put previously purchased music and videos on my new iPhone 4s?

    I purchased the music back when I have a 4th generation ipod nano. I was able to retrieve it from the iTunes library, but cannot seem to copy and paste it to my iPhone. I even tried file > transfer purchases from iPhone (as I read it should ask if I want to put the songs that are on iTunes on the phone) and that didnt work! PLEASE HELP!

    Huh?  File has nothing to do with it.  Do not click File.  Forget File. It transfers FROM iphone TO itunes.  This is NOT what you are trying to do.
    You need to sycn your iphone.  This is very basic and is certainly covered in the manual.
    Open itunes.
    Connect iphone.
    Select what you want to sync.
    Sync.

  • A few years ago I bought music from Itunes.  Recently I deactivated all computers in order to add a new computer.  Most of the music I purchased came through, but I am still missing about 30% of it.  How can I download all the music I have purchased from

    A few years ago I bought music from Itunes.  Recently I deactivated all computers in order to add a new computer.  Most of the music I purchased came through, but I am still missing about 30% of it.  How can I download all the music I have purchased from Itunes?

    Might have luck with that here >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID that was used for the original purchases.

  • Please help - I'm not able to download previously purchased music

    Please advice how I can download previously purchased music in iTunes. - The music icon is missing in the Purchased window.
    Thanks
    Michael (Denmark)

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 :
    Previously purchased music is only available through iTunes in the Cloud in Australia, Canada, Cypress, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States
    Have you not got a backup copy on, for example, an external drive or CD/DVD ? Or on an iPod, iPad or iPhone that you can connect to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchass to copy them back from ?

  • HT201272 how do i download previous purchase on my mac computer

    How do i downloan previous purchase to my imac desktop computer

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can re-download previous purchases from the purchased option in the quick links section in the top right corner of the iTunes Store homepage on your computer.

  • I changed my iTunes password and now I can't download previous purchases

    I changed my iTunes password (but kept the same username), and now I can't re-download any songs that I purchased BEFORE changing the password.
    When I follow the steps in the Apple support pages on how to re-download previously purchased songs, I am taken to my "Purchased" page in the iTunes store, but the songs I purchased before the password change don't show at all.  Only the songs that I purchased after changing the password appear. 
    When I search for one of the older songs in the iTunes store, the menu bar to the right of the song says "purchased," confirming that I did indeed purchase the item.  But again, I can't download it.
    Again, I did not change my AppleID, only my password.
    Does anyone know a fix for this?  Thanks.

    Hi hyperslam,
    Are you certain that you are looking at "Purchased" here:
    And not here:
    You want to look for your Purchased items under QUICK LINKS not under the "Store" heading in the sidebar!

  • HT201272 Error in connection when downloading previously purchased music. Help please!

    I'm trying to download previously purchased music onto a new authorized computer, but for a number of songs (1 in 10 approximately), I continually get the message that the connection cannot be established.
    In my Library, these songs cannot be played.
    However, when I go back under Itunes Store > Purchased - beside every song (regardless of whether it was successfully downloaded or not), it says Downloaded. So I can't download them again.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Ability to redownload varies from country to country, the US having most options currently:

    If you think you should have more optons check your country is correctly set in iTunes.

  • I can't download previously purchased items from itunes to my ipad

    I just got a new ipad, and followed the directions to download previously purchased music and video to the ipad. I go into Itunes, select purchased, choose what I want. The ipad then tells me that it is downloading, but once it finishes, the music and video do not appear in the music/video section of the device. The 'usage' also tells me that I don't have any music or video.
    Has this happened to anyone else?

    I had an issues similar to this with purchased music not all that long ago, and rebooting (I think) is what got it working for me again.
    See if this helps - sign out, restart, sign in again and try again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
    I would suggest rebooting the router - unplug it for about 30 seconds, and you can try that - but I'm not sure if that will help. It won't hurt anyway.

  • HT1529 How do I recover previously purchased music and apps?

    How do I recover previous purchased music and apps?

    You need to be logged into iTunes using the same Apple ID (iTunes Store account) you used when you oiginally purchased the songs from the iTunes Store.  You can check the Apple ID used to purchase a particular song by doing a Get Info on the song and looking for Account Name on the Summary tab of the Info window.
    If you are still having problems, you should contact iTunes Store support, starting at this link
