How do I access songs I've purchased in the past on a new computer?
I got a new MP3 player as my iPod recently died. However, I haven't purchased any songs since Fall 2012. I'm currently on a new computer I purchased in November 2012 and just realized I haven't used iTunes in some time. Now I'm trying to get my songs and library I had previously on this computer. I've paid for these songs already so shouldn't I be able to download them again without paying a second time? Thanks in advance!

How do I access my back up files from the time machine if my computer was stolen?
Hi, how do I access my back up files from the time machine if my mac book pro was stolen? I have a mac book air and mac too. But not sure how I can get back all the files from the stolen computer from my time capsule
On the Mac Book Air or other Mac that you have, use Migration Assistant to transfer files from the Time Machine backups of the Mac that was taken.

Can someone please tell me how to get those songs if I even can. I do not want to have to rebuy these songs that I already payed for
Hello Olivia,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iTunes purchases. It sounds like you may have been looking in the Account Information page, but there is a separate Purchases section you can download the songs from.
I recommend downloading your purchases directly to your computer using the Purchases page in the iTunes Store using these steps:
Download previous iTunes Store purchases to an authorized computer
Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
In the page that appears, select a category.
iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download. If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.
To download all available items, click Download All.

Additionally, you can download the songs to your iPhone using the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" in this article:

How do I access a library already on an external drive, from a new computer?
I moved my library from an old hard drive onto a larger external drive, following the online instructions and then continued to use the old machine to access the library. I now want to swap computers completely (the library can stay where it is) but am baffled by how to do this.
Looking at the folders on the external drive there are noi library files just media filders and files.
I've ensured that the new laptop sees the external drive as it was (ie its ths G drive on old and new machines).
I have pointed iTunes at the relevent folder
I have deauthorised everything and then authorised the new laptop
When I open iTunes I have nothing....
The helpdesk are trying.....
Old machine was XP, new machine is W7
HELP!The library file is still on the old computer in the iTunes folder.
Move the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. -

How do you delete songs that you purchased through iTunes but don't show up when you connect the iphone to iTunes? They don't show up in the music section when you click on "On this phone". Side Note: I have my phone setup to manually manage music. Please help.
Hi, Mrs.Frankie57.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly. How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?
I could not find an option to "report a problem".
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.) -
