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?

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

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.

You would have to copy the music to a computer that is supported and sync it from there.

How do I download previously purchased albums from iTunes when the album has either disappeared from my computer or the tunes are not playable? The albums show as purchased on the iTunes store, but not available to download to my authorized device. I also have albums that appear in my library, but are not able to be added to my iPod from my computer

When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

I can't download previously purchased items from itunes to my ipad

I just got a new ipad, and followed the directions to download previously purchased music and video to the ipad. I go into Itunes, select purchased, choose what I want. The ipad then tells me that it is downloading, but once it finishes, the music and video do not appear in the music/video section of the device. The 'usage' also tells me that I don't have any music or video.
Has this happened to anyone else?

I had an issues similar to this with purchased music not all that long ago, and rebooting (I think) is what got it working for me again.
See if this helps - sign out, restart, sign in again and try again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
I would suggest rebooting the router - unplug it for about 30 seconds, and you can try that - but I'm not sure if that will help. It won't hurt anyway.

How to download a purchased song from iTunes again?

I had a song in my iTunes library the file of which was damaged for unknown reason. So I deleted it and the file as well. I though I could download it again from iTunes. But the song is marked as "purchased" in the iTunes store and I don't see how I can download it again. Please advise. Thx.

This time I have another problem. I think I deleted the file in the cloud as well when I tried to remove the song from my library. Now the title is not seen even in iTunes in the Cloud. What can I do? Just one track in an album.

Re-downloading previously bought songs from itunes?

had my laptop stolen which had the downloaded songs that I had bought from itunes... is there anyway for me to re-download the songs I have previously bought onto my new laptop?!

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and in the circumstances you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

I am trying to download previously purchased music from iTunes, it show "purchased" in iTunes Store but does not show up under previous purchase tab

There are several albums that I've previously purchased that somehow were deleted from my computer & iPad. When I go to download available purchases on PC it say that all available punches have been downloaded. When I check iTunes Store it show as "purchased". When I try to check & download from iCloud via either iPad or PC these items do not show up under items purchased.
I can't even re-purchase the item, which I've tried since it shows as purchased in iTunes Store. This is very troublesome because there is no way for me to access these previous purchases. I have been using iTunes & various Apple products with the iTunes Store for several years & there is a lot of money invested in these previous purchases, that there is no way for me to access. As mentioned, I'd even be willing to re-purchase some of these items (though this should be unnecessary). But, the iTunes Store won't let me, because the items show up as purchased in store, but not on any of my devices!!!
Help!

Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

Album Art does not download while purchasing songs from iTunes

Hi !
Of late, music I have purchased from iTunes does not seem to download the album art ie: the music downloads fine, but there is no album art with it, despite the fact that on the iTunes site it DOES have album art when advertised.
Has anyone else had this situation, if so, is there a fix ?
Note this is happening only recently.
Thanks !

Thanks, Mimico Kid! Your suggestion was extremely easy and worked like a charm!
I basically went to Amazon.com like you suggested, searched for all of my cd's in the Amazon music section. Once each cd was listed, I enlarged the album cover to its largest size and then right-clicked on the largest image and then "saved as" the name of the cd in a separate, Album Art folder that I created in the "My Pictures" folder on my c drive. Then I opened iTunes and the Album covers folder that I created and dragged the jpeg of the album cover into the section of iTunes on the lower left side where users are prompted to drag album art.
Here's a hint to significantly quicken the transfer of album art from your separately created "Album Art" folder on your hard (c:) drive to iTunes: select all of the songs of a particular cd listed in your iTunes library before you drag the album art over from your separately created "Album Art" folder. That way, when you do drag the album art over, it will be applied to all of the selected songs - this saves lots of time if you have multiple tracks from CDs in your iTunes library.
