How do locate purchased items that I purchased years ago?

I am active duty military and I have deployed alot in the past 10 years. I purchased a lot of music, music videos (a lot), and movies via iTunes. The problem is that now years later I can't locate any of the stuff I purchased while deployed or stuff from years ago. I may have another iTunes username but I don't recall. Is there any way to see if I have another iTunes account/username/library? I spend a lot of money on iTunes and would like to have all that I have purchased. Thanks in advance for any help.

The only ways I can think of that you might be able to determine if you used a different iTunes Store account are these:
- if you have content in iTunes on a computer, Get Info on various items, particularly old ones. The account through which you purchased the content will be shown there. If you have a Mac, try this AppleScript, courtesy of the incredibly-useful Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackdownpurchases
- you can try the Forgot your Apple ID link here:

Hope one of those options help.
Thanks for your service. Stay safe and I hope you get to come home soon.
Regards.

Why does my iphone tell me to re-buy purchased items that i purchased already and that i want to redownload them back onto my iphone

My iphone tells me that i have to re-buy purchased items that i used to have on my iphone. For example, i downloaded a song and i deleted it off my iphone, but when i wanted to download it back onto my iphone it told me to buy it when i purchased it days ago. The problem is that i want to download purchased items i downloaded in the past but it says for me to repay for it and so i dont know if i was ripped off or not. the cause of this problem was that my iphone synced to another iphone from itunes and got everything from the other iphone and i lost all my music and contacts. Thus, i tried to redownload all my music back on and it wouldn't let me from the itunes store. is ther a solution to this problem?

You can only redownload using the Apple store id you purchased the items under

HT1386 Music was transferred to my i phone after WIFI sync that belongs in another family members library. They are not visible in my library. They were purchased items that were purchased using my apple ID. I do not want them on my phone.

Hello, osbybass.
Thank you for the question. This alert can mean that iTunes is recognizing applications on the iPad purchased by another Apple ID. If anyone in your household has an Apple ID, try authorizing the computer with their Apple ID and attempt to sync. If you are still experiencing issues, go through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.

How do I get a refund for an item that was purchased in error on the ipad by my 5 year old?

All sales are final.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception

Error Code: "This computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPad."

I'm getting Error Code: “This computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPad.”
I have tried re-authorizing and the error persists.
I have also tried de-authorizing ALL my devices, then re-authorizing and that did not help either.
My husband and I share this iPad and we have set up family sharing.
We have also each purchased apps using our separate iTunes accounts before I set up the family sharing.
How can we fix this error message so that I can back the iPad up to my Mac again?
Husband thinks that at some point we each synced the iPad to our respective Macs.
Could that be it?
Thx!!

I'm not using family sharing, but if you want to sync or backup the iPad with ITunes, I believe that you have to be signed into the same ID on the iPad that you are signed into on the computer and you also have to be authorized for all Apple ID's on that computer that you want to sync or backup with.
DO you have multiple iTunes libraries on the one computer?

The iphone could be synced because computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone

the iphone could be synced because computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone how to slove this

I first called apple and they patched me to a technician who ran a test and determined that I had a virus. He gave me some price quotes and who to call. After my conversation with him, which I knew was BS btw, I immediatley called Geek Squad with whom my computer has a warranty through after they installed virus software on my new laptop (4 months old). I had a VERY long online session where they ran several virus test and found nothing. Although I was VERY happy that my computer didn't have a virus, I still had the problem of my itunes not working. After several hours, he made sure that all of my apps were down loaded, and then restored my iphone to factory settings, and sync my device. It worked perfectly and all and I mean ALL 240 apps were downloaded back onto my iphone along with my music and all of my tones. When asked why my itunes was acting in that manner the answer that I got was,"...apparently you had a correct file some where in itunes and everything had to be reset". Regardless, everything is back to normal and I don't have to get a new phone or delete itunes from my computer. Hope this helps!

My mac pro says "It can't be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this iPad.

But when I de-authorise and then re-authorise it says it's already authorised and then the same window pops up saying "It can't be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this iPad.
Battled all day.
Removed the SC folder,
Checked iTunes log in is correct.
Checked Itunes is the same country.
Restarted both devices.
Tried different usb ports
Any ideas?

I found the solution to this problem
the apple service helped me actually
the best and the esiest way is to solve this problem :
create a new account (as an administator recomended)
Bonjour servises must be enabled ( go to control panel > administartive tools> sevices> Bounjour services (change the category to large icons if you dont see administartive tools )
install itunes
sign in
authorize
SYNC
it must sync normally
but if the meesage pops up that points on a particular items that could not be synced ( to ur itunes because you are not authorized for this items ) REMOVE THEM
creating a new user account shows the items wich dont let you sync your iPhone
after you REMOVE those **** items that were not authorised , you can go to your old user account and SYNC it as old kind time
was having this problem 2 weeks , and nothing helped except this was. not deleting the SC Info folder, now copying apple folder to some other mobile divce folder
REMEMBER the problem is in your iPhone , it is about the items that are in your iPhone
Thanks to Apple service
for anyone who needs othe heple you r welcome to ask
will hepl you with a pleassure cause i know how I felt this days:)

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

I used to have a large music library on I Tunes but I somehow overwrote it with the few purchased items that were on my I-pod so I have lost everything apart from these few. Can I retrieve a previous library even if I've somehow lost it?

The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod.

Full message that pops up
"The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod.
To authorize this computer for items purchased from iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
I am unable to sync my music, applications, movies, etc. to my iPod touch. The only way I am able to bypass the message that pops out when I try to sync (the one in the title) is by clicking "Apply" instead of "Sync". To do this, I make changes to Apps, Music, or Movies (...) and the buttons "Revert" and "Apply" will replace the button "Sync".
My problem is most likely not due to using many accounts because I only have one and it is the only one that I use. I do not share accounts with my family members. Still, I have tried everything here, nothing has worked for me. Since I don't often listen to Podcasts, I have deleted them from my iPod. I have no idea why I am unable to sync and no one seems to have the same problem as me.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Try backing up to iTunes and restoring from that backup

IPad could not be Synced because it is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on iPad

I recently purchased an IPAD AIR and synced ir with my comuter. 14 days later I try and SYNC it and I get a message " The IPAD could not be synced because this computer is no longe authorized for purchased items that are on this IPAD. The apple id's are the same and only 2 devices authorized. Meessage states to go to STORE and Authorize Computer. When I do I get a Message it is already authorized

The problem appeared to be a Pending Request on the IPAD for the new ICLOUD option to share Keychain. I cleared that up and it appears that fixed the issue. Thanks for your help

Hi, Mrs.Frankie57.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

When trying to update phone, a message says i have purchased items that have not been transferred to iTunes, what is this?

When trying to update phone, a message says i have purchased items that have not been transferred to iTunes, what is this?

We need a bit more information to help.
Are you trying to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer? If so, did you make purchases through the iTunes Store or App Store on your iPhone, and fail to sync them with your computer? That is the likely meaning of what you are seeing. If this is true, the purchases would be added to iTunes in your computer before the upgrade proceeds.

How do locate purchased items that I purchased years ago?
