How do I get my Purchases back after my computer got wiped, Can I re-download them for free? and how?

You buy one and only one download of music/vids/tv shows/movies.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I get past purchases back on my itouch?

    how do I get past purchases back on my itouch? had to reset because of forgotten password... now what?

    Update iTunes to 10.3.1
    After you update iTunes, go to the iTunes store on your computer then click Purchased "new" under Music Quick Links on the right side of the iTunes window. You can re download past purchases there. Connect your iPod to your computer, select the Music tab from the menu then click Sync.

  • HT201272 When iTunes was upgraded to the lastest (11.0), many of of songs/music/audiobooks were deleted!  I tried syncing my phone to my computer to get them back, but many of those were deleted too!   How do I get my purchases back to play them???

    It shows on iTunes SOME of my past purchases, but not all (looks like around 30-40% of purchases).    It shows on my apple id purchase history everything i have purchased; but in iTunes, some not all of these show up.    What does show up is kind of "greyed out", so NOTHING will actually play.   I have followed the steps in the iTunes support about how to redownload past purchases, but this dowsn't work, as the download button is also "greyed out". 
    I am extremly angry and upset about this issue.  Could someone please help / advise re how to fix????

    I'm hoping that this may be just a misunderstanding somewhere.
    Could you show an image showing these greyed out items?

  • Hello guys! How do I get my photo back after I restored my iphone5??? Ihave never did any backup or logged in iCloud before. Is it possible for me to get them back??

    Hello guys! How do I get my photo back after I restored my iphone5??? Ihave never did any backup or logged in iCloud before. Is it possible for me to get them back?? I use " find my iphone" and accidentally locked my iphone then I have to restore it to unlock it. But then I found out everything is gone after I restore my phone, is there anyway I could get them back??

    If you never backed them up, where do you suppose you can restore them from?

  • How do I get my contacts back after they've disappeared? the contacts are still stored in my phone

    how do I get my contacts back after they've disappeared? the contacts are still stored in my phone I just can't access them through my address book; only through Siri. I've restored my phone & that didn't work so what should I do?

    Re-enter them.
    Once they have been deleted from iCloud they are gone from all devices that sync to that iCloud account.

  • How do I get my calculator back after installing the new software

    How do I get my calculator back after installing the new iO7 software?

    I'll assume alot here,?but my guess is you installed the new playforsure firmware for the player. If that is the case then you will need the playforsure plug in for the Creative MediaSource Organizer. You can download it on this creative's site under downloads.

  • How do i get OSX LION back on the computer?

    I dropped my laptop and the hard drive is no longer working. I am going to purchase a new hard drive and install it but my question is how do i get OSX LION back on the computer? I will be installing a new bare drive and I heard that Lion is download only. I also want to make sure i get all the apps i had back too. any help or guidance is appreciated. thanks!

    this is my opinion. but in this case, you need to install previous OS that has a dvd, which in my case, i installed Snow Leopard first. it cost 30 dollars new.
    after you have SL operates and do all software updates, you can download lion and install it over snow leopard.
    hope someone here have a better and quicker solution straight to Lion.

  • How do I get my apps back on my computer

    How do I get my apps that I have paid for back on my computer? I had to get my computer fixed, now my apps are gone, I would like to have them back but I dont want to repay for them?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you purchased the apps on the App Store, you can download them for free as many times as you want on all your computers.
    To install the apps again on your computer, open App Store, go to Purchases tab and install all the apps you want

  • 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?

    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.

  • I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am

    I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
    Thank you    

    Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
    Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product.  You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
    Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

  • If i delete a movie i purchased on my phone can i still download it for free of itunes on my computer?

    If i delete a movie i purchased on my phone can i still download it for free of itunes on my computer?

    No, you only get one download for movies. Connect your iPhone to the computer you manage the phone with and use File > Transfer purchases from iPhone to store a copy on your computer. You can then safely remove the copy on the phone.

  • Anyone know how to renew an apple authority certificate on my computer so i can access a application form for website?

    Anyone know how to renew an apple authority certificate on my computer so i can access a application form for website?

    have you tried a hard reset, if not try this
    it doesn't matter whether the phone is on or not to start with
    Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
    Continue holding both buttons (Ignore the "Slide to power off") until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.
    You may let go when you see the silver Apple logo.
    You have completed a hard reset successfully.
