How do I download a pre-ordered album, when the status says 'perchased'?
I pre-orded the Midnight Memories EP by One Direction when there was first the option to pre-order it. I recieved an email today saying that it was avaliable/ out today. I went into itunes on my phone but it said 'perchased', there was no option to download it. I then checked on my laptop to see if i could download it on there but it still said perchased. What can I do to download it? thank you to whoever can answer this
iTunes Store>More>Purchased>Music>Not on This Phone...should be listed here, just download it.

How do i get me pre ordered album to itunes

If you go into the itunes store and select the Purchased Link under Quick Links
Then you can select the Album it should appear under the Music
Click the Cloud icon by the side of it and it should download at no extra cost.
In future to ensure this does not happen. Preferences, Store
Tick Download Pre-Orders when available -

I just downloaded a pre-ordered album and one song is corrupted and stopping just after a minute in. Can I redownload the song for free?
If you delete the song from your PC you can redownload it. Make sure you actually remove it from the computer, and not just from the library (select "Move to Recycle Bin" when deleting). To redownload you can go to the itunes Store->Purchased-> Download Previous Purchases. Within there you have the option to view all songs purchased, as well as all songs which are "Not In My Libraray".
If you don't feel comfortable deleting the song, you can just move copy/paste it somewhere else so that you've got it backed up in case the re-download doesn't work. -
How do you turn your ipod touch on when the screen says connect to itunes?
How do you turn your ipod touch on when the screen says connect to itunes?
You connect the iPod to your computer with iTunes and restore via iTunes. If iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter it or if iTunes does not see the iPod, manually placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:

I can't find any way at all to download my pre-ordered album.
Attempt 1: I went to the album page. The album and every song say "purchased", which makes me unable to press a "download" option.
Attempt 2: I checked for available downloads but came up with nothing.
Attempt 3: I managed my preorders from my account options page. The only option there was to cancel my pre-order (even though the album is already available).
Attempt 4: I viewed my recent purchases, but the album did not show up.
Attempt 5: In a somewhat desperate attempt (though I knew it wouldn't work because of Attempt 4), I turned on the viewing of Cloud items in the library, but once again my pre-order did not make an appearance.Try to rebuild the iTunes Library first;
Note: After re-creating your library, any devices that you sync with iTunes (Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad) will see your iTunes library as a new library and will completely resync. The next sync with such a device will take longer and may reset some options since your rebuilt library isn't familiar to the device.
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Locate your iTunes folder (this is the folder that contains the iTunes Library and iTunes Library.xml files).
Operating System
Default location of iTunes Folder
Mac OS X
/Users/[your username]/Music
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\
3. Open your iTunes folder.
4. Drag the "iTunes Library.xml" or "iTunes Music Library.xml" file to the Desktop. If neither is available, learn how to add files back to the Library (because the XML file is not available, playlists and other information will not be available).
5. Drag the following file from your iTunes folder to the Trash:
Mac OS X
"iTunes Library" or "iTunes Library.itl"
Microsoft Windows
"iTunes Library.itl"
6. Open iTunes.
Important: Do not add any content into iTunes at this point (such as by purchasing something from the iTunes Store).
7. Choose File > Library > Import Playlist.
8. Navigate to the "iTunes Library.xml" file on the Desktop.
Mac users: Click Choose.

Hello Darkwing369
Check your purchase history to try and download them again. Also in iTunes, check for available downloads (Store > Check For Available Downloads…). If that still does not work, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

HT5714 Can I download a pre-ordered album from my iPhone?
I pre-ordered an album and now it is available, but I can't access it from my iPhone. I don't want to download it onto my computer. Can anyone help?
The album already came out on the 31st of August, so I'm not sure what is going on.
I used to have a computer but it got stolen recently, leaving me unable to sync my ipod with another computer for fear of losing all my music.
I tried going directly to the iTunes store and downloading it from there, but when I click purchase it says it'll charge me another $13 to buy an album that I supposedly already bought. -
How do you download your pre-order when it's not letting you ?
Please helpppppp :)))))))) I need it :) it's 1D so I need help fast :) it's not letting me download my pre-order
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.

please any one answer my question as soon as possible!
Your info is too vague. Nobody can make sense of such truncated error messages, much less without knowing anything about your system or what download/ install procedures you employed. You need to explain in more detail.

Afrojack Forget the world pre-ordered album thats now out wont download!
Hi I've pre-ordered Afrojacks new album forget the world and I've got 3 songs from the album that were available to download at the time but the rest wont download it just comes up with purchased but no download button and i just think that this is unfair because I've paid the money and now my songs aren't coming through! I am very disappointed with that part of the itunes store and this has happened to various people with various albums online. Please help me sort this out. Thanks.
Hey there Ashvirm,
It sounds like you pre ordered an album, but for some reason it hasn't downloaded to your library. Start by checking for any available downloads with this:
Download a pre-ordered item
When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
iTunes Store: About pre-orders
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5714
Then if nothing downloads, check your purchased history to see if you can find the album there and download it:
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If it is not there, and you have been charged for it, I would next reach out to the iTunes store support team directly with this article:

how can find the order # on a pre ordered album. It's been paid for, but the album isn't released until May 21. I need the order number now, for a contest promotion. thanks.
Hello MaineMoxie,
This information from the iTunes Store explains the Pre-order process:
http://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/10.0.1/interface/index.html#itns3165
To pre-order an item, click the Pre-order button next to the item. When the item is available for download, you receive an email notice. You aren’t charged for the item until you download it.
To download a pre-ordered item, click the link in the email notice or open iTunes and choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
To view, cancel, or see the expected release dates for pending pre-orders, choose Store > View My Account, and click Manage Pre-orders.
Hope this helps!
