How do I recover purchased music into my Macbook

I had to re install my OS operating system in my Macbook Pro and I didn't have a back up or made one of the music at the time. Is there a way of getting or downloading the same music I purchased into this lamptop again?

Have you got a recently synched iPod by any chance? In this case you might use an application like SENUTI to retrieve your tracks - if not try contacting iTMS customer support and explain your situation: Some users reported that they were granted a free re-download, but ...
That's why backups are strongly recommended

I had a hard drive crash. How do i recover Purchased music and apps

How do I get my stuff back?

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
You buy one and only one download of music and vids. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
Unlike music you can redownload apps

How do I recover the music I have purchased after a Windows disaster?

How do I recover the music I have purchased after a Windows disaster? Windows on this computer stopped working correctly. I was told by HP support that the registry was corrupted and that I had to re-install Windows and programs from CDs that came with the computer. I did this and Windows started working correctly again. The only trouble is that all of the music I bought is gone. How do I recover the music I have purchased from iTunes after a Windows disaster and after re-installing Windows?
Please tell me that you know about all of my song purchases and that there is a way I can download all of these to this computer again without having to pay for them again.
I have learned my lesson about Windows. In the short run I plan to buy a backup drive that I can plug into this computer that I can restore from if and when something like this happens to Windows again. In the long run I plan to buy an Apple computer the next time I buy a computer.

You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you may be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download however they are not under any obligation to do so. The policy on lost songs 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."
You can email them from any of the links on this page: iTMS Customer Service

A: If Windows isn't working:
You need to boot the computer from a "recovery disk or USB" that has a operating system on it and a graphical user interface to transfer files from your boot drive to a external drive.
I suggest using the Easy USB Installer to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto a 2-4 GB USB key.
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
Once you have it installed, consult this page for your BIOS boot key to hold to get into the BIOS.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
Plug the USB into the back (if possible) of the computer, connect the external drive and enter the BIOS, set the USB as first boot and SAVE.
Boot off the USB and "Try Ubuntu/Run from disk" DON'T INSTALL.
Once in, go under the menu Places > Computer and transfer your files to the external drive just like you would in Windows, drag and drop.
B: If the computer hardware isn't working, but the drive might still work:
You'll have to remove the power cord and manually extract the hard drive. This might result in some damage.
There is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
C: If your iTunes content is deleted...
It might be recoverable if it hasn't been overwritten yet by fresh data.
You need to use undelete software pre-installed before the iTunes content was deleted or while on a bootable cd/USB and a external drive to transfer the recovered files.
D: If the hard drive doesn't work and...
The data isn't worth spending $2000-$3000 in a ATTEMPT at recovery, then your finished
E: If you have a "iDevice" with any content
It can be synced back into iTunes, check at iLounge what third party software works reliably now and for your version.
Once you log into your iTunes account, you can snyc only iTunes purchased content back from a iDevice
F: If any of the above is too hard, or the data is of "critical importance"
Then seek professional computer or forensic level recovery services.
Hope this helps.

Trouble downloading purchased music into iTunes library

I am trying to download my recently purchased music into my iTunes library, but I am continuously getting a "Error 8003" message telling me to check and make sure the connection to the network is active, even though it clearly is. Any solutions?

Yes.
It appears in the purchased section of iTunes, but not in the music section.
It does exist in the iTunes folder

I am guessing you mean:
The iTunes application on your MacBook Air
The playlist entitled "Purchased" in iTunes on your MacBook Air
Make sure you are signed in to iTunes on your MacBook Air using the same Apple ID and password that you are using on your iPad.

How can i recover my music

how can i recover my music that was deleted off my i pod when i sycned it on i tunes

Hiya diesel, not sure why you went directly to questioning the legality of bailey's music? Plenty of people come here after their original PC has crashed, and they've tried to sync their ipod to a new PC. All perfectly legal. Just not very welcoming to ask whether she's a thief ~
Anyhoo...if the ipod no longer has the music, bailey does need to get it from the PC it originally came from. If it's this same PC and she's looking at a blank itunes, the next step is to see if the music files are still on the hard drive:
