How do you get previously purchased items to my iphone

So after iOS 5, I thought you were supposed to have the ability to download previous songs and tv shows onto my phone (no matter how long ago you bought them).  I cannot do this.  When I use the music application and go to purchased, it says I have nothing purchased?  Does anyone have a similar problem?
Thanks in advance.
Dan

You only get one download if audiobooks.
It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
Did you fail to do this?

  • HT1727 How do you upgrade previously purchased items to iTunes Plus from DRM

    I can not find the instructions on screen in the iTunes Store to upgrade purchased songs from the DRM files to the iTunes Plus style.

    Log into your iTunes Store account and look for an "iTunes Plus" link under the Quick Links:
    Click that. If nothing appears, then the iTunes Store doesn't think you have any tracks that are eligible to be upgraded and you may have to buy the tracks again if you want them in the upgraded format, or sign up for ITunes Match which should upgrade all those tracks.
    Regards.

  • HT201272 How do I download previous purchased items from my itunes account to my swapped out ipod touch

    We had to swap my sons ipod touch for a new one due to it being broken. I need to know how to reload the previous purchased items back onto the new one.
    Thanks

    They should be on the computer.  Just sync them as you did the last ipod.
    If you failed to put them on the computer then redownload them using the instruction in the article your reference above.

  • How do you get iTunes purchased songs to automatically play one after the other

    How do you get iTunes purchased songs to play automatically one after the other without having to hit play for each song ? Also I lost all my pictures on my iPad when I installed iOS 7 upgrade. Any way to get them back? Thanks. Dr Ron.

    Hi Dr. Ron,
    By your question, I am wondering if you are playing your music from the iTunes app rather than the Music app?
    In the Music App, you can go to any of the options at the bottom and click on a song to play and it will then continue to play the songs in that category. You can also select "Shuffle" to shuffle them.
    As for your Photos, did you have them backed up anywhere?
    Cheers,

  • How do I transfer the purchased items on my iPhone to my iTunes library?

    When I connect my iPhone to my computer, I get the message that a newer version of iPhone software is available. However, when I click on the link to download and install the software, I get the message "There are purchased items on the iPhone that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone." How do I transfer the purchased items on my iPhone to my iTunes library?

    You may need to enable the Menu Bar.
    In the upper right hand corner, there should be a small box, half dark colored and half light, with a small arrow next to it. Click there, and choose "Show Menu Bar" from the resulting menu. At that point, you should be able to select File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, as explained by roaminggnome.
    A second option you have is to show the sidebar by going to View > Show Sidebar. After this is done, right click on your device in the sidebar, and "Transfer Purchases" should be an option.
    Please refer to this article for more information

  • How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?

    How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?  I did something wrong as now nothing is on my phone but several questions such as language, etc. They keep repeating.  When I turn phone completely off, the same thing happens when I turn it on.  It is very frustrating now to have no phone service or anything at all on my phone.

    It sounds as if the phone is waiting to be activated. Did you update software or something like that on the phone? You can either try to finish the Setup routine, or you can connect the device to iTunes on the computer and then after selecting the iPhone in the device pane, click on the button that says Restore a Backup.

  • How do i stop previously purchased items from downloading repeatedly?

    My wife has an Intel Macbook. Whenever she opens iTunes it immediately starts to download her previous purchases, video and audio, equalling some 200+ files. I've tried allowing the files to download, then deleting them and stopping the downloads before they can seriously get going but no matter what I do they start downloading again either later in that session or the next time she starts iTunes. This has happened with the previous two or three versions of iTunes and continues with the current version.
    These are all files she's seen/heard and has no intention of ever accessing again. Is there some way to permanently delete them so that we don't have to keep dealing with this issue?
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    It turns out that this is not an uncommon problem. After a lot of searching on the net I came across these two solutions. In both you have to allow the entire song, video, etc. to download. Once the download is complete DO NOT sync your device, instead mark every one of the unwanted items as Read or Watched. Now sync your device (the files should not be copied to it) and go back to iTunes to see if the file is automatically deleted (as far as I know this only happens with podcasts). If the file is deleted your problem should be solved but if not select the file(s), hit Command + delete and choose the move to trash option for the file(s).
    Restart iTunes and check to see if the same file is downloading again. If not, you should be okay but if it is then you're trying the second method.
    Allow the file to download and do everything as in the first method except when it comes to deleting the file(s) navigate to your iTunes folder where the file is stored and physically delete it from there. Restart iTunes and see what happens.
    I can't really speak for how well the second method works as the first method worked for me but I wanted to give both options in case it didn't work for someone else.

  • How do you get previous Itunes pruchases onto a new Ipod without syncing it to the laptop?

    I've been in Australia for over a year, my previous Ipod broke so a purchased a new Ipod touch this year. However, as my Itunes library is on my laptop back in the UK, I'm a little depleted of music on this Ipod. Is it possible to get previous Itune purchases onto my Ipod here in Australia without me flying home, or worse still having the laptop sent over? I've kept all my Itunes receipts.

    Try here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    you might not be able to get some items back since yuo are in a differenrt country now.

  • How do I get previously purchased downloads on my new ipod

    I had to replace my ipod due to theft. I have logged on and set up my new ipod but can not find previously purchased downloads now. Can I put them on my new ipod? If so, how?

    All your downloads should be in iTunes.
    Did you purchase the items on the iPod?
    If you did, did you transfer the purchases from the iPod to iTunes?

  • How do I get previously purchased software on DVD listed as an App Store download?

    As many likely have, I have previously purchased Apple software (Aperture, Final Cut Express, iLife, iWork) before App Store began. I obviously do not want to re-purchase but now my Macbook Pro and Air do not have DVD drives.
    Is there a way to get App Store to recognize these purchases so that I can have them listed in App Store?

    To recognize software purchased on a DVD in the App Store, the only way to do it is to repurchase them in the App Store.
    If your MacBook Pro and Air don't have a SuperDrive, you can buy an external optical drive to install it or, if you have another Mac, you can use Remote Disc to install the software on both computers. Also, Final Cut Express isn't available on the App Store

  • How can I get my purchased items back to my itunes, my pc was reset to its factory settings after a virus, if I try to download files again (movies, ringtones, music) it charges me again????

    lost my purchased files, my computer was reset, how can I get these back without paying again??

    Outside the USA, that is the situation at present: downloads are once only and you are expected to take responsibility for backing up your purchases.
    In the USA music can be downloaded again ('iTunes in the Cloud') - Apple's page on this also says 'TV shows' but doesn't mention music. Other countries as still waiting on rights negotiations for this factility.
    It's possible that if you ask iTunes Support nicely they may agree to let you re-download as a one-off concession, but they are in no way obliged to do this. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column and then 'iTunes Store' in the second column. In the third column click 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption' and proceed from there.
