How do I retrieve all the itunes I paid for on my replacement phone, I never backed up my previous one before it broke

How do I retrieve all the songs I paid for through itunes on my 3gs, I never backed them up on my previous phone before it broke ?

You need to download and install iTunes 10.3 on your desktop. Log in to your iTunes account.
On the left side of iTunes is an entry under STORE called "Purchased". Click on it, and a list of everything you bought opens in the right window. There's a button at bottom left  "Download Previous Purchases".
Note: Until iTunes 10.3 and iCloud beta you could not do this. You would NOT have been able to get your music back. Please use iTunes to back up your iPhone, or you risk losing everything.
And to anticipate a possible response: the pre-10.3 situation was NOT an Apple decision - ti was because the music corporations would not allow re-downloading.

    My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes.  I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your phone.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • How can I copy all the itunes content from my pc to my new MAC?

    I just bought a MacBook pro new .
    I had all the library, books, podcasts, music, etc in my PC, and  I want to move all that to my new Mac.
    <How can I do that easily?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It's easy to do that. Just follow these steps to transfer your iTunes library from your PC to the Mac > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751 (You have to do the “Restoring your iTunes Library backup” step on the Mac)

  • Didn't get all the songs i paid for

    ok so i was in the middle of downloading my songs when my battery randomly died on me (another problem) but anyways when i went to check purchases, it didnt let me get the songs. i followed the instructions up to "Click the Report a problem link", but then after i do that nothing happens and i cant select "i didnt recieve this item"
    what should i do?

    Contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form linked from the bottom of their Download FAQ web page (I recommend that you use the form, not the link in your Purchase History as they advise; that's not proven to be very reliable) and explain the problem to them.
    Good luck.

  • My Laptop with Synced Firefox crashed and i had to do a fresh install, how can i retrieve all the synced data from the Mozilla Servers

    I had set up Firefox sync on my Windows 7 Laptop which crashed and I had to reinstall windows. I used to be able to share content with my Firefox synced Android too. Is there a way i can retrieve the synced data from the Mozilla servers? I tried to set up sync on my new installation on a Mac 10.6 but when i click on Set-up Sync it asks me:
    # Set-up new sync account (i already have one)
    # I already have a sync account
    When i select the second option it tells me to Add a device. I went in the "Sync Options" and tried the replace all data on this computer with my sync data, but nothing happened. When i try to connect from my Android it also asks me to add a device with the 3 boxes with letters in them.
    So in both the cases it is asking me to "Add a device" but i cannot connect to my sync account in either case to sync data from there

    Please search the forums. This has been covered here extensively.

  • How can I retrieve all the CONTACTS that were deleted after  the sync of iphone to Mac?

    After I backed up my iphone onto my Mac computer I was asked If I wanted to save the photos from my phone. I said DELETE.   Then I discovered  my address and phone numbers (CONTACTS) went empty in the iphone.   How can I reverse my DELETE and get these Contacts back to the iphone?

    iCloud maintains a database of your contacts which it uses to keep all devices and computers connected to the same iCloud account in sync.  If you ever wonder whether you've lost contacts because they do not appear on a device or mac/pc, you should log into iCloud.com using a computer's browser and go to the Contacts page.  You should find your contacts there.  If there but they do not appear on your device, see below for instructions.  If they are not there, then for one reason or another, they have been deleted.  See below for options if this is the case.
    Getting contacts from iCloud to a device.
    Your device/computer needs to be connected to the proper account in iCloud and have contacts set for syncing.  Go to Settings>iCloud (for a device) or System Preferences>iCloud (for a mac - can't help you with a PC, but hopefully you'll know where to go).  Be sure iCloud is turn on and that you have the right account.  If you need to change the account, scroll to bottom of screen (device) and tap Delete Account.  Find a similar button on a mac.  This will not delete data from iCloud, it only disconnects the device/mac from the current account.  Then enter ID/password for the correct account.  Next, be sure Contacts is turned on.  [If it has been turned on, try turning off and then back on.  If still not working, disconnect from iCloud and connect again.]  You should get your contacts back.
    Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
    Then they have been deleted.  There are many reasons for this.  One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device.  How to get them back?  Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases.  Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac).  Just restore the data files back to the computer.  Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

  • How can I play all the videos I have saved to a playlist? I only am able to get one playing at a time then I have to select the next and play it.

    I am not able to get all/any of my videos to play one after another like my music playlists. I thought it worked once but I am not able to recall how.
    Your help is greatly appreciated. I am tired of having to go back after each video (be it a music video, tv show, movie...but music video in particular).

    The Videos that do not play - Are they all Checked.
    Right Mouse Click on a video, If at the bottom of the popup it has Check selection then that is what is missing. Suggest you select all your videos, Right clcik and mark all as checked in 1 go. Then your playlists will run through them.
    I think they only play one at a time because when you double click on them to pl;ay for that 1 video it overides the checked/ Unchecked feature

  • How do I include all the necessary files required for the DAQ Assistant to create an executable file?

    I am creating an executable file to run on a computer that does not have LabVIEW installed.  The problem is that I am using the DAQ Assistant.  The VI Hierarchy is rather large, and I am not sure how to include all of the required files to eliminate the error "The full development version of LabVIEw is required to fix the errors."  Attached is an image of the VI Hierarchy.
    Solved!

    Yes I did create an installer.  See image installernoDAQmx.jpg  
    When this is all I do I get an error that subvi is not included, a list of about 6 subvi's.  To eliminate this error I manually add the subvi from the dependencies list to the my computer list. This allows me to add them as support files.  This eliminates the error about subvi not included, but then I get the error I spoke of earlier.
    If I include the DAQmx I get an error.  See image installererror.jpg
    Not sure what MAX refers to?

    It has always beenv ery basic to always maintain a backup copy of your cmputer for just this occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to do this, not ggos at all, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
