How to download purchased songs to Itunes?

I have bought songs on my now broken iPhone 3g and havent synced them to my computer. Is there a way I can download all the purchased songs onto iTunes on my computer without going through and re-bying every one? I know I could get them for free but I cant remember every song.

Restore them from your backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud.

Hi there, how do I re-download purchased songs in iTunes?

Hi there,
How do I re-download purchased songs in iTunes? I have recently copied a large number of songs in to my iTunes folder and my purhcased songs have disappeared in the process. I am trying to play them but it is just asking me to locate them. They can no longer be found on the machine but are purchases form the apple store.
Thanks

Downloading purchased songs from itunes

Hello,
I have recently purchased about 35 songs from itunes. This was my first time doing this. I have been charged for all 35 songs, however only 15 of them have actually downloaded. I emailed itunes for help and they said they cannot deal with technical support and I am getting very frusterated. I found a thread somewhere that said to go to the advanced menu and click check purchases. I have done this over and over, and when I do it the other 20 songs I have purchased come up but then disappear and fail to download. A pop up then comes up that reads
"There was an error downloading your purchased music. The disk could not be read from or written to. Use the Check for Purchases command under the Advanced menu to try again later."
Well this is exactly what I have been doing, and I have tried it over and over for 3 days now. I have tried turning off my firewall and that didnt do anything either. I don't think it has anything to do with firewalls or priveledges though since about half of them downloaded immediatly.
If anyone has had this happen to them before and knows how to fix it that would be greatly appreciated. I wont be happy if I just lost my money.. even if its only $15.00
Thanks in advance

Is your hard drive full?
Quit iTunes.
Look in the iTunes music folder for a folder named Downloads.
Delete the Downloads folder.
Restart iTunes then Check for purchases again.

How to Recover purchased songs from iTunes store?

I recently fixed my iTunes, but in the process I've seemed to have lost about half of my purchased songs. When I go to "My Music" folder to try to get them back they are not there, but in my account I have a recipt of all my purchased songs (so I can prove I've bought them). Any ideas on how to get them back? Thanks for the help.

f 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

How to download "purchased" songs that are not in my library

I pre ordered an album the other day on my Iphone via the itunes store, when it became available to download i was sent an e-mail. Went into the Itunes store to download it, as it had not downloaded automatically (usually does) all the songs in the album say "purchased" but are not in my library, there is not option to download from the cloud, or redownload? so i plugged my phone into my computer and tried to download it via the itunes, itunes store, this also said the same thing?! Does anyone know how i can get the songs to download as currently it wont let me!!
I have put a screen shot, if this helps?
If anyone has had this problem and can help, thank you!

Hi, edcf.
I have experienced the exact same issue this week for a Pre-order album as well. I would recommend canceling the Pre-order and download it again as it most likely has not been charged. This article will walk you though the process.
iTunes Store: About Pre-orders

Check your purchase history and you method of payment to make sure that the item has not been deducted prior to processing these steps.

If the album has been charged, follow the steps in this article to report a problem with this purchase.

Now that I erased my songs I don't know how to download my songs off iTunes

I had unwanted songs on my iPod so I erased everything. Now that I have started over, when I go into iTunes I don't know how to get the songs to download onto the iPod again. Can you help me?

How have you got the iPod set to update? If you are updating manually then drag what you want from the library to the iPod icon. If it's set to update automatically you just need to connect the iPod and iTunes wiil do the rest.
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Can't download purchased songs from itunes store.

I recently had my laptop and itouch stolen. I now have a new laptop and itouch and would like to download the already purchased songs from the itunes store onto my new laptop. The itunes store has the songs in my purchase history but I can't find the option to download them again. I tried buying a song again to see if it would state that I had already purchased the song and that I could download it for free. But it only asked me if I would "like to buy it again". Surely their must be a way to download the songs again onto my new laptop. Any help would be great.

Was your backup copy stolen as well?
If so, you can try e-mailing itunes support to see if they will make an exception, although they are under no obligation to do so.

Can't download purchased song from iTunes

I tried to play a song on iTunes, but it says I have to locate it. I accidentally deleted it and emptied the trash (i know, genius), and when I try to download it again from the store, it wont let me. Instead of a "download" button it's a "play" button.

The song shows up in my itunes library as if it's already downloaded. When i show the songs on the cloud, all that shows up is the U2 album.

How to re download purchased songs in itunes

Just wondering how to re download soungs I buy off itunes?
I bought an album and 1 song didn't work and stops about 2 seconds in so I would like to redownload that one again
Cheers.

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

How to download a song into Itune without losing pre-fix of title

To classify songs, I have a pre-fix in the title to the song. For instance, if it is and old song "Kiss me on Sunday" it would be: "Old7 - Kiss me on Sunday". When I down load from a folder on HD to the library, the pre-fix does not appear. If it possible, also reply directly: [email protected]

You're confusing Filenames and Titles.
It would appear that you're renaming the files, not titling the photos. Brief explanation: The Finder deals with files. iPhoto deals with Photos. Renaming the file does not change the Title of the photo. The title is an entry in the Exif metadata of the photo. This is what Photo Apps work with.
If I do a "Get Info" on a photo, it shows the title I put in under "name & extension" and the original title under "title."
In the case cited: Name and Extenrsion are the Filename - what the Finder sees. The Title is what iPhoto looks for.
Solution: Use iPhoto or any photo app to Title the Photos. If you're moving them from iPhoto on one machine when you export, be sure to tick the box at 'Titles and Descriptions'. That way when you import to the other iPhoto you'll get your title.

Error message when trying to download purchased songs

I purchased some albums on my ipad that synced to my iphone. I'm now trying to download my purchases to my library stored on my PC, but I'm getting an error/warning message along the lines of:
"You can download past purchases for up to 90 days.....You cannot assign another apple id to this computer for the next 30 days".
Does anyone have any ideas? I did have to sign my wife out of itunes before i signed in to download my songs so i assuming its something to do with that.

When trying to download purchased songs on ITunes, it
gives an error message that the network connection
timed out. also gives this error message when I try
to download ITunes software. Can anyone help with
this error? Thanks
I am having the same problem. (err = -3259) and it's not listed in any of the error codes in Apple Support. Weird. Why have an error code and no reference for it.
First it happened when I tried to download a movie and I kept "checking for purchases" - didn't work - checked all my ad filters, privacy filters, firewall settings - didn't work. Then I forgot for a day, went back and it worked. Now I have three episodes of a TV show that will not download and I am getting the same error message. This time it has been a few days though...Someone who knows - Please HELP!!

How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows sear

How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows search. The track plays on my iPad and my iPhones but will not play on my laptop!?
It has an "!" To the left of the song title in my library
My worry is that if I sync my iPad/iPhone then I will lose the track on those also!

If you cannot find the file on your hard drive then once you delete the current broken entry you should be able to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This assumes the item in question qualifies. Note that audiobooks, digital booklets, iTunes LPs & Extras, ringtones, selected movies etc. don't.
If prompted don't hide the item. You may find that you need to close and then reopen iTunes before it will appear for download.
