How to get old purchases on new computer

I purchased a new PC Win7 based.  Loaded iTunes and now need to know how to load/find all my prior purchases.

What you can re-download depends partly on what country you are in. As long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes as you originally used to buy/download then, them ibooks and apps can be re-downloaded for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . You should also be able to re-download music and tv shows if you are in the US. Films are a one-time only download.
If you've still got your old computer then you can copy them over from that : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Otherwise have you got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive or CDs/DVDs that you can copy onto your new computer and then load into its iTunes.

  • How to transfer old purchases to new computer?

    We had a computer with a lot of downloaded movies, albums, singles, etc. and that computer is no longer working so we got a new one and I was wondering if anyone knows a way to get my purchase history onto my new computer without rebuying anything.

    Restore it from a backup, put the old computer's hard drive into an enclosure and copy the files off, use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes if they're on an iPod or similar Apple device, or click here and ask.

    Hey kevyg3,
    I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:

  • How to get itunes music on new computer

    I got a new computer because the other one that I had was not working (only had it for a week) so they replaced it. I have signed onto itunes with my account, but wanted my music that I had from my other computer to be on this library. I also no longer have the computer that was defected. How do I get the music that was in my library onto this computer?

    Restore it from a backup or its original source; for iTunes Store music, use these instructions to redownload it through the iCloud.

  • Downloading old purchases onto new computer

    I have just bought a new computer after my laptop died. Will I be able to download the purchases I have made on  my old laptop onto my new computer or will I have to buy all the albums again?

    It depends on what country that you are in as to whether you can re-download them for free : re-downloading. If you are not in a country where you can currently re-download past music purchases then if they are on your iPod then you should be able to copy them to your new computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, otherwise have you got a backup of your purchases on, for example, an external drive that you can copy to your computer ?

  • New PC - How do I get old songs onto new computer?

    I recently had my laptop stolen ALONG with my external hard drive with all my backups. How can I get my OLD tunes into the NEW laptop? Can I hook up my iTouch and make the songs go from the iTouch TO the new laptop?
    Any suggestions would be great! I have seen programs I can purchase but figure there has to be a simpler way.
    THANKS!!

    itunes purchases can be transferred using itunes.
    anything else will need third party software downloaded. google 'ipod to pc/mac'

  • How to use old library with new computer?

    Hello,
    I keep all my music on an external HD. Recently, my main computer died, so I had to start using another iMac. It's running Tiger and iTunes 6, but I have never used the iTunes before. How do I get this computer to "see" my old iTunes library (on the external)?

    You are welcome. One thing that comes to mind is that I believe when you use an external drive to hold your library, it is important that the external is on and mounted when ever you start up iTunes. My understanding is if you start iTunes and the external drive is not available, then iTunes reverts back to the default location on your internal. You then have to reset it back to the external, but I think you also have to re-add everything all over again.
    So be sure you always have the external up and ready whenever you open iTunes.

  • How to get old purchased movies on my Mac

    I bought the movie Bad Teacher around the time it came out. It is not on my itunes account, but it is in the "purchased" section in the itunes store. When I click the movie, it takes me to the page where it tells me how much it is. I'm not sure why, since it is already in the purchased section. How do I get the movies in my itunes so I can watch them?

    Whether you can redownload films depends upon what country that you are in (and whether the studio allows redownloading). What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes - is that where you are looking ? If it is and the film shows there then click on the cloud symbol on its top right-hand corner and you should be able to redownload it.

  • How to get old iTunes onto new laptop???

    My original laptop which has my iPod 4 and iPhone 4 linked to it has now died a death and so new laptop has now been brought (after a drama with a iPad) and now I am struggling to get my iTunes (with everything on) onto my new Laptop. How do I get my iTunes back so that I can link my products to the new laptop?

    Hi fionafromharrow,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If the content in your iTunes library was all purchased or downloaded from iTunes, you can download those items again for free as long as they are still available in the iTunes Store. Please use the attached article as a guide for downloading your past purchases.
    Download past purchases
    Have a great day,

  • How to get imovie 06 on new computer?

    Hi there, I have a new mac book pro (snow leopard) and I really like using imovie 06. I want to install as an imovie previous version as I did with previoius computer. . Wasn't  able to and message says I have to install ilife 08. How to do this without stuffing up existing software and losing new imovie etc.

    Happily this is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
    Delete iMovie 9 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife 6 install disks.
    Now re-install iMovie 9. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
    Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.
    Alternatively you could try this method, suggested by poster Uitech:
    Open a terminal and type "touch /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iLife08.plist"
    (No quotes)
    Install iMovieHD6 from the iLife 6 install disk.
    This works with both Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.

  • Computer destroyed .. how to get purchases onto new computer

    I'm pretty much computer illiterate except for surfing the internet and using Word.
    I purchased several songs from itunes onto a computer which was destroyed (fire). I have a new computer (Latitude with Windows XP) and although I see all my old purchases listed when i look up my account, I don't know how to get them onto my new computer.
    Can someone help me? Thanks.

    Click here and fill out the form to ask for a free redownload; if your request isn't granted, you need to purchase the songs again to get them back.
    Apple pays the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts and album artwork.
