How to download purchased music onto new computer (please)?

How can I get my purchased music back onto a new computer? Old one crashed, only had some of my music on the ipod. I've followed some posts to get the ipod music back to the computer, but I see songs in itunes purchase history that are not showing up anywhere (that I can see). Is there any way to get these back? I tried the option that iTunes lists for downloading purchased music, but these didn't seem to download. Can anyone help? I'm not real computer savvy so please explain it "for dummies." thanks

Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups . (For most people, this will involve either CD's/DVD's or an external drive .)
That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form on this page:

Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • How do I re-download purchased music onto my computer?

    I had to format my computer and I wanted to download the music I purchased on iTunes again... However, I can't seem to find a way to do that. Plz help!

    If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
    If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • Authorizing purchased music onto new computer

    I have loaded my library onto a new mac and am wondering if there is a way to authorize all purchased songs at once rather than one at a time?

    You should only need to play one song. When you play an item you've purchased, your computer is authorised to play content purchased using your Apple Account: : About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • How to download purchased music to my new computer.

    Hi,
    I've got a problem doing this.
    iTunes keeps telling me the music i once purchased isn't available anymore.
    Yesterday i tried to download it to my new computer.
    When i tried to download, it wasn't possible.
    But when i purchased the album again (2nd time since i purchased it 2 years ago) it started to download but i had to pay for it again.
    later on i received an e-mail from Apple:
    Your Apple ID, ******************** is just used to buy *********** from the iTunes Store on a computer or device not previously associated with that Apple ID.
    If you purchased from us, please ignore this email. It was sent to you for your attention to if you did not purchase yourself.
    If you have not done this purchase, we recommend to iforgot.apple.com to go and change your password, and then to Apple ID: safety tips to protect your account to go for further assistance.
    Best Regards,
    Apple
    So, my computer wasn't associated before because i just have a new one.
    I've authorised my computer when installing iTunes.
    So what can i do to get my purchased music on my computer again?

    I received an email from apple.
    the content was available but they said: you can only download it once.
    They opened up my account so i can download the items again.
    I'll reply again if this works

  • Trouble putting purchased music on new computer's itunes

    I have iTunes on two different computers and I recently moved permanently to the location of the one with the least amount of music. I buy all my music through iTunes store, but I have quite a few songs I haven't put on my iPod yet that are purchased and on my other computer's iTunes. Anyway, I was wondering if/how I can get my already purchased music onto my new main computer's iTunes without it already being on my iPod. Thanks

    If you want to have your purchases on more than one computer you have to copy them from the computer they were purchased on. There are various methods to copy purchases between computers, CD-R, iPod, USB stick etc, you can read more at this link: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between authorized computers

  • How to download Photoshop to my new computer if my old computer breaks unexpectedly? [was: Help]

    If I downloaded photoshop, and my computer broke down unexpectedly, how can i download it to my new computer?

    Download, enter your serial number when asked, then activate it.
    If for some reason it fails to activate, call Adobe Customer Service, they can help you.
    Register your software. That way you can access your serial number if you lose it and you are on record as owning the software when you talk to Customer Service.
