How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process)? My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone. I'm not very savvy with using iTunes - I don't think is very intuitive (unlike me:)). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Any iTunes content that is downloaded by your iPhone including 3rd party apps should be transferred to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes on your computer after doing so. All iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer.

How do I retrieve purchased books purchased through iBooks?

I recently bought a few books on my ipad only to find out my it won't charge, sync, or recognize the cord at all. No big deal, it's getting exchanged, but I can't sync the books just bought! How do I retrieve my stuff with the new ipad?

You didn't say what app you purchased them in, so I'm going to assume it's iBooks.
When you get the new iPad set up on the same iTunes account, just go to the store within iBooks and then select "Purchased" on the bottom right corner. To the best of my recollection, it will let you download previously purchased books.

Lost 4s in lake, not backed up. How do i retrieve purchased items?

I recently dropped my 4s in a lake (September 6th, 2014) and it is still down there somewhere. I didn't back it up or turn on icould before it was dropped. I know this was incredibly stupid. How can i at least retrieve my purchased music and apps that are not in my computer itunes library? I shouldn't need to re-purchase anything. I just got an old iPhone 5 from a friend that is restored and I need to put all of my old purchased and downloaded apps and music onto it; however, none of this exists in my computer iTunes library. My computer library differs completely from what was on my 4s and I don't care about what was on the computer, but I do want what I had on my 4s back on my new phone. I realize that pictures are for sure lost but that is okay. I just want back what I previously paid for. Please help and thanks for your concern!

You can do the same with music. If you want your iTunes Library on your computer updated with the purchased items, you can open iTunes, sign onto the iTunes store with the Apple ID you used to purchase the items, then click on the Music or Apps or TV Shows, etc. tab, and under Quick Links, select Purchased>Not in My Library.
You will see all of your purchases, under whichever category you have selected, and the ones that are not currently on the computer will have a little cloud next to them. Click on the cloud to download items selectively, or scroll to the bottom and click on Select All.
If you, instead, wish to download the purchases directly to your device, you can click on the iTunes icon, click on More>Purchased>Music>Not on this Phone, and then click on the individual artists, and then on the items you wish to download, or on Download All in the top right-hand corner.
If you elect to download the purchases (apps and music) to your device directly, then when you hook it up to the computer, make sure that under iTunes>Preferences>Devices, you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then follow the instructions in this article to transfer any purchases you have downloaded to the device directly:

How can I retrieve purchased tunes not authorized for my computer?

I am told I have 79 purchased tunes from I Tunes Store that were not copied on to my computer because my computer was not authorized for those tunes. How did this happen & how can I correct the problem?

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean. Did you copy tracks from one computer to another, and if so by what means?

How do I retrieve purchased tv shows without buying them again?

Restore them from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

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

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

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 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.

Purchased songs in the past then recently purchasd new songs, but the new purchases replaced all of my old purchases. How can I retrieve my old purchases? Cannot find them in any of my playlists.

Purchased songs in the past then recently purchasd new songs, but the new purchases replaced all of my old purchases. How can I retrieve my old purchases? Cannot find them in any of my playlists.

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

HT201272 How do I retrieve downloads that I purchased that no longer show up on my phone?

How do i retrieve downloads that I purchased that no longer show up on my Iphone>

What you can re-download will depend upon what country that you are in (music, films and/or tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all) and the type of item (audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads) - the Purchased tabs in the iTunes and App Store apps, and in the ibookstore in the iBooks app, will show what you can re-download. If other items of the same type show there but a particular item doesn't (and it's still in the store) then you could check to see if anything is hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

How do I retrieve a ringtone that I purchased before IOS7 but does not appear on my phone to activate? store that doesnt appear on my phone?

How do I retrieve a previously purchased ringtone from the apple store prior to ISO 7 that doesnt appear on my phone as an option?

You cannot retrieve ringtone for free. You need to buy again if you forget to transfer the ringtone from iPhone to computer iTunes.

How do I retrieve my iTunes purchases?

I had to restore my computer due to a virus emergency. The wipe ended up destroying my iTunes backup completely because the virus literally infected everything, and now it says that there's no available downloads (I think that has something to do with authorizing computers, because I never got to deauthorize my iTunes before I restored my computer to factory settings). How do I retrieve my iTunes purchases? There's got to be some way to do it, I spent probably over $500 on purchases and will be really upset with Apple if there's no way to get it all back.
Also, I looked up some YouTube videos on how to do it, and some mentioned a place on the Apple website where you request them to reapply your active downloads, which will recover all of your purchases even in a situation like mine. However, all the links that were provided on the videos are now broken. If someone could either tell me what to do straight up, or send me a working link to that place, that'd be great. Thanks!

Depending upon what country that you are in (not all content types can currently be re-download in all countries) then you should be able to re-download some/all via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you are not in a country where everything can be re-downloaded and you haven't got a backup then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
