How do I re-download iTunes Essentials playlists?

How do I re-download iTunes Essentials collections, re-generating the playlist?
I can re-download individual songs by attempting to re-purchase them - iTunes tells me it will re-download them for free. But if I attempt to re-purchase an iTunes Essentials collection, the dialog only tells me that I'll have duplicates in my library. It makes no mention of whether the re-download will be free.
I've purchased about a dozen collections, most of them about 75 songs. I'd hate to rebuild the playlists manually.

When I redownload I go to apple.com and the iTunes page and download the installer.
it should put it in your downloads folder and you can access it from there to install it.

    How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5?
    Cell data is turned off but it is still downloading.

    When you initially enable iTunes Match on any iDevice it is wise to let it operate for a good period docked or with good WiFi.
    Best route to stop it if essential is to switch off iTunes Match.

    Hi Gang,

    Thanks for any help.

    When you connect the iPhone to iTunes, and select it (in the sidebar under DEVICES), you see the iPhone's Summary screen.  There is a checkbox under for Manually manage music and videos.  If that option is enabled, you can manually drag items to the iPhone in iTunes, to load them.

  • My macbook pro logic board died. I had all my music on an external drive. How do I get my iTunes library, playlists etc. from my dead computer onto my new one?

    My logic board died on my old macbook pro. I have a new one, but I want to get my iTunes library off my old hard drive and put it on my new one. I had set up my old MBP to store all my iTunes music on an external drive, so I have the music. The iTunes program was on the old MBP hard drive.How do I essentially recreate my previous iTunes library, playlists, etc on my new laptop?

    You will need the iTunes Library.itl file which generally lives in ~/Music/iTunes/. You can recover this from the backups you were making before the HDD died. Otherwise, you cannot recreate the library.

  • Can't download ITunes essentials

    I have been trying to download the following itunes essentials:
    Boys Night out - Complete Set
    Gay Pride Month - Complete Set
    everytime I try to purchase either directly or with the shopping cart I get the following error
    Purchase of this item not currently available. This item is being modified. Please try again later.
    I can purchase single songs and albums, but not essentials. What gives.
    I have updated to the latest version of Itunes software and even updated the ipod software to the latest version.
    Please help!

  • How do I gift an itunes LIBRARY playlist to someone on itunes STORE?

    I have an itunes playlist in my music library on my mac.  I want to duplicate the playlist to my itunes store account so i can gift the playlist to another person.  how do i do this without a) manually recreating the playlist (it's long) and b) not use icloud?  thanks.

    John;
    Thanks.  It appears that the only way to do so is to go back to iTunes 10.x - so lame.  And thanks for the feedback link - I have left my feedback which I share below.  I also email Tim Cook so someone on his staff will at least see it and not just the support folks. 
    My feedback:
    I cannot believe you dropped the ability to gift a playlist from my iTunes library to a friend with the "redesigned" iTunes 11.  Apparently iTunes 11.0 IS REDESIGNED TO SELL LESS SONGS.  What a complete and utter failure on your part - you're literally shooting yourselves in the foot if you have taken away the ability for users to actually BUY MORE PRODUCT from you and share their experience with iTunes.  And during the holiday season.  WHAT WERE THE GENIUSES OF ITUNES APP TEAM THINKING????  Aren't you in the business of selling iTunes songs?  And it also makes such a great last minute gift too.  And seeing how you release iTunes 11 back in Nov, you could have easily made this fix before the holiday season, but instead have not and instead let your users discover the miss in frustrating attempts - (go check out the apple support forums - your product teams check those forums, right?). 
    I think one forum user has you tagged perfectly - you're starting to become and act like Microsoft.  I should know, I was there for 18.5 yrs before I couldn't stand it anymore.

  • My computer crashed, how do I re-download iTunes music?

    My computer crapped out and I lost everything on my hard drive. I have a whole bunch of music I bought from Itunes. Does anyone know how to go about re-downloading this music.

    Use the form on this page to request a free redownload, or use the Transfer Purchases feature if applicable. If neither of these works, you will need to purchase the content again to get them back; Apple needs to pay the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts, album artwork, and iPod touch/iPhone applications.

  • How to convert and replace itunes m4a playlist with mp3 playlist

    In Itunes, I want to convert a playlist of 200 songs from m4a to mp4 but don't want to have to struggle with creating the new playlist (ie, making a list of the songs and finding them in the library and dragging them into the new replacement playlist) or deleting the old m4a songs from the library (finding them and deleting them either by hunting them down or identifying the m4a duplicates and deleting them). 
    I know I can convert them en masse within itunes but then I've got to hunt them down in the library to recreate the new playlist and delete the old m4as.
    I can't seem to come up with a smooth way of doing that.  I thought I could drag them from itunes to my desktop, or even to a flash drive, but when I drag them back into itunes they don't come back in as mp3s but remain m4as (I did set the preferences import settings to mp3 so I don't know why that aspect doesn't work for me). 
    Any suggestions for how to do this efficiently would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, and thanks again for your input.  I will do whatever works.  Conversion works fine to convert, but then I have to hunt down each of the 200 newly converted songs to recreate the playlist of mp3s, and then hunt down each of the old files in the library to delete them. 
    So I tried to figure out another way to do it.  It occured to me that if I exported the songs and then re-imported them, then they would be imported as mp3s due to the preference setting in Itunes, but I can't make that happen (they come back in as m4a).  If I could, I thought I could just import (drag them in) to a new playlist and then I could delete the old playlist - allthough the problem then would be that the old playlist songs would still be in the library, but I think I read where I could do something like option delete (from within the old playlist) to actually remove the files from the library.  Then I wouldn't have to hunt for the old songs.
    My ignorance is due to my not using the proper terminology.  I just saw the suffix is mp3 so I figured people would know what I meant.  Same for m4a which probably also has a more correct term than that.
    Thanks for the reference to Doug's scripts - there's a lot of them there. If I can find a way to contact Doug, I will ask him if he has a script that will do it.

  • How do I re-download iTunes Music purchases that did not download completely?

    Hi there, I have purchased quite a few music tracks that did not download properly, i.e. they only downloaded partially.
    How can I re-dowload these tracks please?

  • How can I migrate my iTunes library, playlists, etc from XP to Windows 7?

    I apologize if this has been asked and answered before.  I cannot find a relevant article with google or the
    search here on Apple support.
    My iTunes library is on an external drive.  iTunes keeps a few folders in XP
    on the C: drive under
    Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple,
    Documents and Settings\Mike\Application Data\Apple,
    Docuemnts and Settings\Mike\Local Settings\Apple, and
    Docuemnts and Settings\Mike\Local Settings\Apple Computer.
    I copied these folders to my external drive and hooked it up to my new computer
    that runs Windows 7 where I had already installed a new copy of iTunes.
    I tried copying the folders that were on the (XP) C: drive to my best guess as to where
    they would go on the (W7) C: drive.  Microsoft being Microsoft, they cannot let
    the names of anything remain the same.
    I set the preferences on my W7 iTunes to point to the external drive as my library
    location.  Nothing happened.  I tried restarting iTunes, but still my existing data was not
    acknowledged.
    I then used the import files from folder option, using the location of the ITUNES folder
    on my external drive.  This ran fairly quickly.  But, to my dismay, all my ratings were
    lost and (thinking about it, not surprisingly) none of my playlists were there either.
    So, does anyone have any experience on what files should be copied from XP to W7
    and where?  It seems to me this should not be that difficult.  After all, the data is
    all there, right?
    One article I read suggested using the iPod as a backup device to transfer the files.
    Would this work?  Would it also transfter the playlists, ratings, etc?  My concern
    (again based on another article I read) is that I will wind up with duplicate copies
    of all the music in my music library.
    (As a precaution, I have backups of my iTunes library and the (XP) C: folders on
    two other external drives.  Also, the XP PC still has iTunes on it, so I could easily
    reconnect the external drive there and do other stuff if necessary.
    When I purchased my new iPod, it took almost 24 hours to transfter my music library
    to it.  It also takes almost 24 hours to do the drive to drive backup.  (Maybe my new
    computer will be faster.)  Based on this experience, I would like to avoid having the
    migration of data take that long.
    If the changes I made to the W7 PC need to be undone, I can easily just remove iTunes
    there and start again.
    I hope my question is clear and I thank you for your time.
    Cordially, MZ
    PS: The XP box is an IBM and the W7 box is a new Dell.  Both are desktop models.

    You will need the iTunes Library.itl file which generally lives in ~/Music/iTunes/. You can recover this from the backups you were making before the HDD died. Otherwise, you cannot recreate the library.

  • How do I delete an iTunes DJ playlist?

    I am reorganising my playlists. So far I have deleted all the playlists that I do not want, but there is still a playlist which suddenly appeared in my playlists which i,m sure I did not compile. This playlist is entitled iTunes DJ. I have been able to delete all the tracks in this playlist except for one, and as such I cannot delete the playlist. Can anyone help?

    iTunes DJ isn't a regular playlist but a way of queuing up music to be played. If you have no use for it you can disable it via Edit > Preferences > General tab, untick iTunes DJ.
