How do you redownload purchased songs from iTunes?

iTunes Match has completely bollocked up my iTunes linrary.  Many of the albums have double entries—one that is in iCloud to be downloaded (a little cloud with a downward pointing arrow) and a duplicate that is on my computer but not in iCloud (a little cloud with an 'x' in it.)  I've found that the only way to 'fix' this and not have every song play twice is to delete the one that isn't in iCloud.  To delete the one in iCloud would prevent it from appearing on my other devices.
iI have hundreds of songs im my library, so this has been an enormous task. There are several albums that I've purchased in the iTunes Store that have either missing songs or duplicates.  I decided that, rather than futz around with them, I'd delete the entire album from both my library and iCloud and the redownload the purchased album.
I've tried to follow the instructions provided by Apple.  I go to the iTunes store and click on purchased items, it displays the albums I've purchased.  However, in one case, when I click on download all songs, it only download 3 out of a dozen.  How do I get the entire album to download?

  • How do you remove purchased songs from the iCloud?

    There are a bunch of songs that I have bought over the years that I have no intention of listening to again. Since I have signed up for iTunes Match, they now all appear again on all my devices that I use the iCloud on... Apple says that I can simply go into my "purchased" list on iTunes and hide them, but that does not work as they still show up... what am I doing wrong, or how do I really accomplish this? Is there some second step I need to take in order to complete the process?
    I have seen suggestions of starting a second library, but is that really necessary? I just want to hide some of the songs I don't want anymore so I don't have to scroll past all of it all the time anymore.

    Once you have a secure backup of your Song files you can simply delete a Song, selecting the option to remove from iCloud.
    It is worth turning off all other libraries and devices associated with the same Apple Id / iTunes Match service first.
    Once the deletion request is confirmed, 'Update iTunes Match', close your local library - allow 20 - 30 mins for synchronisation across the Apple infrastructure, restart the library and confirm that the Songs have really gone - once confirmed you can start the other libraries and iDevices - the deletions will be applied to all.
    A second library is an easy way to store all your 'deleted from iCloud' Songs but it is not necessary.

  • How to download a purchased song from iTunes again?

    I had a song in my iTunes library the file of which was damaged for unknown reason. So I deleted it and the file as well. I though I could download it again from iTunes. But the song is marked as "purchased" in the iTunes store and I don't see how I can download it again. Please advise. Thx.

    This time I have another problem. I think I deleted the file in the cloud as well when I tried to remove the song from my library. Now the title is not seen even in iTunes in the Cloud. What can I do? Just one track in an album.

    If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
    Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
    Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

  • I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help :(

    I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help

    If you're syncing with a different iTunes library than the one you previously synced with, then there is no way around it. You're gonna loose the old data. The only way round it would be to make sure that all the music files on your iPhone is also in your iTunes library. If you still have access to the computer with the old library, you could copy the files on to an external harddrive, and then import them into your new iTunes library.
    If it is in fact the same library, then the music currently on your iphone, is also in your itunes library. Just make sure that the artists/albums/playlists, or whatever you sync contains these tracks, that you allready have on your phone and don't want deleted. What i do is, i create a playlist specifically for my iPhone, and i set it up to only sync with this playlist. Whenever i hear a track from my iTunes library or buy a new track that i want on my phone, i just drag it to this playlist and next time i synchronize, it's there without deleting anything else.

    You only get one download.  It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
    UNLESS, you are in the U.S, then you can use the Beta version of icloud.  Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick links
