  • Why do I have to redownload music that I have already purchased

    HELP PLEASE!
    I am finding it increasingly frustrating that I am not able to listen to music I have purchased. My albums are showing up split on my music app in random orders and some songs, yet again are randomly missing showing the iCloud symbol. I purchase music for the intention of listening to it then and there not for iTunes to decide what I can and cannot listen too. If I have no internet, I cannot listen to the song.
    Please help.
    Many thanks

    I just want to make sure this doesn't happen again.
    Make sure you back up your computer before installing any updates.
    Installing an update should not delete files but from reports here it happens occasionally.  We don't know why and given that probably only a very few people lose their libraries through updating versus millions of updates it is something you simply have to prepare against.  I am not even sure what happened in your case because thgis presence of some files doesn't match anything I can think would happen.

  • HT201272 How do I get some of my music that I've already purchased on my phone, and how do I get some songs off my phone?

    I have a few songs that I've bought and they are not on my phone, and I also have a few songs that have gone gone on there twice. How do I get the music on that I've already bought and how do I get rid of some of the music that's on there more then once

    It's in recovery mode. There is nothing left on the phone. You have no choice but to restore it.  Have you not been backing it up on a regular basis?

  • HT201272 How can I redownload music that I've bought before but accidentally deleted?

    When I follow the instructions and go into the list of music I have purchased from the iTunes Store, it won't allow me to redownload it.  And I can't even re-purchase it; the store says I have it already!  So frustrating!   Thanks for any help you can give me. 

    Hi Linda!
    You are most welcome! And glad that things continue to work well. I knew about that song vs. album thing, because when you go into an iTunes album that you have purchased a song from, it says Purchased next to the song. But, when you go into another album that has that song, it is still "purchase-able". Make sense that iTunes would have no idea of where the exact duplicate of that song might be, because it is often the case that when the same song appears in a different album, it isn't an exact duplicate - maybe it's live, maybe it's 2 minutes longer....
    So, hopefully that does explain the "duplicates". Think of it in "real" (vs. virtual) terms. If you bought a single from a record store, and then bought an album that also had that same song on it, you would have two of them. Despite the fact that it is a virtual purchase, it works the same way. Except that iTunes keeps track of the "singles" that you purchase, and if you are purchasing the same album that you bought the single from, you don't pay for it again - something a "real" record store wouldn't be able to do. Bonus!!!
    It's only when you purchase a different album with that song on it that you will have a duplicate....
    Hope that helps, and again, glad things are working A-OK now.
    Thanks for posting back!
    Take care,

  • Do i have to pay for music that i have already purchased

    i recently had to get a new iphone, lost 254 songs on my ipod, to get those back, can i just download them from my purchased itune file for free?

    And if you're not in the US, then (probably due to license issues yet to be worked out in other countries) officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. It's your responsibility to make backup copies (as iTunes itself advises) in case something goes wrong with your system, as unfortunately it apparently did in your case, and you lose all the information on your hard drive. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
    For apps, look here for instructions on redownloading.  For songs, movies, and videos, if your computer's hard drive was erased and/or you don't have a backup of your purchased items, either on external media or another computer and don't have them on an iOS device (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad), you may be out of luck and will need to repurchase your content.
    If you have your content backed up or on another iOS device, post back and someone here can help you get your items restored. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it. 
    Regards.

  • HT1491 How do I get ringtones that I have already purchased again on my new iphone?

    help!!!

    You can't re-download purchased ringtones.  Ringtones are also not included in the iPhone backup.  If your purchased ringtones aren't in your iTunes library so you can sync them back to your phone you'll have to contact iTunes store support to see if they will give you a credit so you can purchase them again (http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html).

  • How do I download movies that I have already purchased to my iPad so I can watch on an airplane?

    flying tomorrow want movies on ipad

    You can try downloading them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.  (This is not available in all countries, and must be permitted by the movie studio.)
    Otherwise, sync them to your iPad by selecting them on the Movies tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

  • How can I redownload music I bought on my iphone?

    How can i redownload music I allready purchased on my iphone?
    Is there a way to see a list of music I have allready bought and then redownload it?

    What types of content that you can re-download depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it's still in the store) .
    What can be re-downloaded where : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
    What you can re-download will show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone (and the App Store and ibookstore in the iBooks app), and on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the store home page.
    If you can't re-download it then you should be able to copy it over from your phone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

  • How do I get music that is in my Itunes folder, i.e. my own music that was not purchased from the Itunes store, on to my ipod?

    How do i get music that i have put into my itunes folder, i.e. it was not purchased in itunes but from another source, onto my ipod?
    I have looked at a number of different discussions and none have given me the solution. 
    I have recently had to do a restore and all the music that was once on the device was wiped.

    Import the music into your iTunes library and sync like any other music.

  • How do I find music that has been uploaded to iTunes from a purchased CD and iTunes is "unable to find the original file?" I no longer have the CD. I have tried all the usual methods of looking in my iTunes library and through Find. No Luck.

    How do I find music that has been uploaded to iTunes from a purchased CD and iTunes is “unable to find the original file?” I no longer have the CD. I have tried all the usual methods of looking in my iTunes library and through Find. No Luck.

    Backup drive?
    Subscribe to iTunes Match?
    If neither of the above and you don't have the CD and can't find your tracks on the computer then they you're stuck.  A file recovery utility will cost $100, plus another $100 for an external drive to which to resue the files, and may not even work.  You can buy a lot of CDs for $200.

    Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free
