How do i retrieve purchased songs?

i bought songs, but they are not in my library; i re-purchased one, tried to re-purchase others, but wont let me, yet still not in my library -- what do i do?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to get them back.
You can also transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. File>Transfer Purchases
In the U.S only, you can use the recently released icloud beta version. Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick links

    I updated my iPod and it erased everything i had on it.  How do i retrieve the songs that i bought from the iTunes store?  when i try to download/buy them again they tell me i have already purchased them do i want to buy them again?  I have authorized my computer but none of them are in my music now.

    You buy one and only one download.
    It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
    Certainly you did not update your ipod without making sure that you had transferred anything purchased on the ipod to your computer and included it in your regular backup copy of your computer.

    How do I retrieve deleted songs on my iPod that were purchased via iTunes>

  • Retrieving purchased song

    Hi, I just purchased a song and while it was downloading, itunes froze in the "processing" phase. I closed the program and it asked if i would like to resume downloading next sign in and i chose "ok." When I logged back in there is no record of the download. However, when I try to purchase the song again it asks me if I am sure I want it again since I have already bought the song. Has this happened to anyone else and how do I retrieve the song without purchasing it twice? Thanks for the help!

  • Someone stole my ipod.  How do I retrieve the songs I bought?

    Someone stole my ipod from my home.  But I had bought at least 30 songs on my ipod.  I usually sync it about once a month to back up my music but they stole it before I had the chance.  How can I retrieve the songs that bought on it so that I wouldn't have to pay twice?  Can anyone help with that?
    Thanks.

    Yes, I got that. My question was "are you using the same iTunes account to access music purchased from the Store?" I think your answer is "yes".

    iTunes is not designed to do that. However, this user tip from tt2 may help you recover your music from your iPod, although it's not a simple process: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Ignore any references in the tip to iOS devices, the Classic does not use iOS. The tip has a list of software, including the TouchCopy referred to by tbirdvet that may assist you in recovering your music.

  • How can I put purchased songs from my iPad to my daughters iPod?

    How can I load purchased songs from my iPad to my daughters iPod?

    You can either sync them to her iPod using iTunes, or sign into your Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store on her iPod and download them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.  If she is already signed into a different ID, tap it, sign out, then sign into your ID.  (Note: If she has already enabled automatic downloads or downloaded previous purchases on her iPod using a different ID, she will have to wait 90 days before she can switch IDs to yours.)

  • I did not sync my device to itunes before it got ruined.  How do I retrieve unsynced songs I purchased to add to my new iPhone4

    I had over 80 songs I purchased through iTunes using my iTouch.  My iTouch got ruined and now I have an iPhone4.  I did not sync 50 of those songs to my iTouch.  When I visit iTunes, only 32 songs are showing up.  When I try to repurchase the lost songs, they say I have already purchased the songs.  How can I get iTunes to retrieve these songs for me so I can redownload them again.  And can I do this without purchasing the songs over again?
    HELP!!!
    Danita Hamel

    Thank you for your advice.  I did contact Apple and they referred me to this website only.   I'm so mad at myself.  And totally discouraged.  Yes, I will be syncing regularly from now on.
