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

Download Purchased Music - To a New MacBook Pro

Hello, I would like to download my previously downloaded & purchased music to a new MacBook Pro. My old Old Windows PC crashed and nothing was recoverable. Is this possible? If not I have lost all my music

You will be able to download your previously purchased music. If you didn't subscribe to Match,
anything else that you didn't back up will be lost.
With iTunes 11, anything that's available (previous purchases or Match) will appear as cloud
content in iTunes when you log in with your AppleID.
If the music was synced to a device, you can use a third party utility to pull it back off.

Authorization
iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.

How could I transfer all purchased music to a new computer

I need to transfer all purchased music to a new computer.. Can I download them again or sync to the new computer??

Anything you want to transfer, just copy it to a USB flash drive or external hard drive, and from there to the new computer.
If you want to keep your iTunes library intact, as far as playcounts, playlists, etc, a few extra steps are required. First, on the old machine, run Library > Consolidate. Then copy the entire iTunes folder to the external device, and from there to the new machine.

Getting Already Purchased Music on a new computer?

So my ipod was stolen and the computer that had my music is no longer working is there any way to get my Purchased music on my new computer or am i gonna have to rebuy it all. I have tried the Check for available Downloads option and it says everything has been downloaded but there is nothing in my folder can anyone offer any more help...

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) 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 iTunes 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 this link you'll be able to email your query: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support

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

JustMeAndYou,
For what it's worth ...
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:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

How do i transfer music onto a new computer ios7

IOS7 iPhone 4 need help transferring music onto a new computer so i can add music to my phone

Copy eveything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a storage/backup device.

I recently had to buy a new computer because my other one could not be fixed. I had purchased a lot of music and it was in my iTunes. I did not have iCloud and I would like to have all of my purchased music on my new computer. How do I do that?

I would like to access my music from my account on another devise because my other one crashed. I do not have iCloud and I need this music on my new devise.

Anything you purchased from the iTunes Store can be downloaded again, as often as necessary, as long as it still exists in the iTunes Store.

How do I access purchased music on my new computer?

I recently got a new computer and want to transfer music I previously purchased and that is on my iPod to my iTunes music account. How do I access that music? Or how do I transfer music from my iPod to my iTunes account?

If you don't have your computer backed up, then how are you also going to transfer your pictures, save email messages, video files, etc.
iTunes purchases are no different.
Unless you are going from Mac to Windows or from Windows to Mac, you can copy the entire iTunes folder in the music folder before launching iTunes, or overwriting the one it just made if you already have, and iTunes will go through a quick update of it's music library and you're done.
If you have jumped between Windows and Mac, then just copy the music library folder within the iTunes folder to your new computer and have iTunes search and import it all.

How to get my purchased music back on new computer

I just traded in my 3 month old, older version iMac intel, for the new one, not sure I got a good deal, but wanted it and it's another story heh..anyway, I backed up my music library on a DVD-R, but how do I get them into my library on the new computer? It's blank there when I hit the iTune icon. All I have is the U2 library, and they're on my iPod, but I'd still like them there. So what should I do?
Thanks!

How to back up your media in iTunes 5 or iTunes 6

HT204053 I tried to download some music to my new computer, when I tried, it said that the apple id was used before on 5 other computers. The computers it was used don't work any more. What do I do ? I don't want to lose all the music I purchased.

I want to know how to remove other computers from i tunes that are no longer working.

Hello DJSmithLaner,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have authorized five computers, but you no longer have access to all five computers.
You can deauthorize all the computers associated with your Apple ID and then authorize the computers you still use.
Use these steps to deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID:
Deauthorize all computers
After you authorize two computers, you'll have the option to deauthorize all computers for your Apple ID. You can deauthorize all computers once a year. You should deauthorize all your computers in these cases:
If a computer doesn't work anymore
If you don't have one of your computers
If you used 5 authorizations and want to authorize a new computer
To deauthorize all your computers, follow these steps:
Click to open your account in iTunes (you may need to sign in with your Apple ID), or follow these steps:
Open iTunes and click iTunes Store.
Click Sign In and enter your Apple ID.
Click your Apple ID and select Account.
Click Deauthorize All.
The Deauthorize All button appears only if you have more than two authorized computers.
Once you have deauthorized all the computers, use these steps to authorize the computers you have access to:
To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
You can find those steps and more information at the following link:
iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
