How do I get my previous purchased songs from itunes back into my library?

I was trying to sync new music onto my iPod Nano and somehow removed my previous purchased songs from my library.  I can see the old songs in my account but not my library.  How can I retrieve my purchased old songs and place them back in my library with my new songs?

Axeman 1020 you are the BEST!!!!!!  Thank you sooooooo much!!!!!  It worked!  I am so excited if you can't tell.  I was really frustrated over this.  Thank you again

    How can I re-download previously purchased songs from itunes?

    You only get one download.  It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
    UNLESS, you are in the U.S, then you can use the Beta version of icloud.  Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick links

  • How do I re-download previously purchased songs from Itunes?

    I had purchased some songs from Itunes on an old PC. Now when I go to itunes it shows those songs as "puchased", but I can't figure out how to put them on my new computer. It doesn't give me any options to download them again or even pay for them again. What am I doing wrong?

  • My computer's hard drive crashed and now that its fixed I want to download previously purchased songs from Itunes

    My computer's hard drive crashed and now that its fixed (my computer) I want to download previously purchased songs from Itunes.  When I'm signed into Itunes and attempt to download from the cloud a text box pops up saying "I need to authorize the computer before I can download previous purchases".  I'm using the same computer that I purchased all previous songs.  So how do I authorize my computer?

    On your Computer...
    Open iTunes...  
    If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "  
    and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
    (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

  • How do I remove a previously purchased song from iPhone music

    I have removed the song from my iTunes purchased list on my mac, however it still shows up in my songs list on my iPhone withthe down load cloud icon. It still plays as if in the library when connected. There =does not seem to be a way to remove it. Swiping from right to left does not work to remove.

  • When recently syncing my iphone, itunes asked me something regarding transfering purchased items or something.. I foolishly didn't read it properly and now I can't get purchased songs from iTunes back on to my iPhone... Please help!!

    Hi,
    When recently syncing my iPhone a message came up regarding transferring purchases or something.. In haste I pressed the wrong reply.. My phone synced, but removed all of the songs I purchased on my iPhone. Although they are still on my iTunes and I can play them.. but they will not sync back to the iPhone what so ever.. I'm stressed out big time and can't believe I was such an idiot lol!! Had a look at a few forums.. But they seem to be about transffering from Iphone to Itunes...
    Please Help xxx

    At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
    I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
    I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
    If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
    I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

  • How do I get the "previous" Iphone backup from Itunes?

    I restored my Iphone but ran out of disc space on C:/ when I restored my backup.
    When I connected my Iphone again - it made a fresh backup of the restoed "clean" Iphone.
    How can I get hold of the previous backup?

    Hi Greg
    Thanks for reply. Yes - it unfortunately did do quick "blank" backup before I could stop it.
    When I go to Preferences and device - I do not see the older backups? FOr example I can see the following backups - but it does not show to select it:
    D:\Documents and Settings\Ario\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\f42dcf2432719c4572955dcab11b6e67439912b0
    I can also see other backups on my previuous PC:
    I:\Dirk Burned PC Backup\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\42212401cdb9ec1a500c9291bf83ca8661d55c2e
    I also have a 2 day old backup that I can see at my work PC in a similar way.
    Is there any way I can get to these backups?  When I log onto Itunes, and I right click on my Iphone, I can restore - but then the selection is only shopwing my latest backup - which is the blank one.

  • Getting asteriks on purchased songs from itunes

  • Why is authorization required on previously purchased songs from itunes?

    Only some songs are affected. This is and has been my only imac. I correctted permissions in the disk utility with no change. Appreciate any help you can give. Thanks.

    Kubota Man,
    Sometimes authorization is required if you have reinstalled the operating system. Such as, an Archive and Install, or a restore using the discs that came with the computer.
    See the following for more authorization/deauthorization information:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/authorization/
    The form at the bottom lets you pose the question to the The iTunes Store Customer Service group.
    Hope this helps,
