How to re download my purchases on a new harddrive

i just reformatted my hard drive and i need to redownload my purchases how do i do that? what back up??

You don't.
You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Certainly you did not reformat your hard drive without making sure that you backup copy was up to date.
You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
    If you are in the U.S. you can use the cloud:

    How do I download my purchased ringtones to my Iphone5?

    Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store - do you have copies of them in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads that you can use to sync them to it ? If not, and if they are still in your country's store, you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side

  • HT1657 How can I download all purchased content before changing my info account?

    How can I download all purchased content before changing my info account?

    You can always setup your GMail account on your Mac as a POP3 account, and then flag GMail to mark all messages new.  The next mail check would cause your mail app to download all the messages on teh GMail server to your mail client.  Once they are in your mail client, you manage them locally in there, and it won't matter if the GMail host account goes away or not, because POP3 works with the local data once it is downloaded form the server.
    Be advised that doing this can cause you to redownload thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of emails depending upon your email volume and how long you have been using GMail.  If I do this, my GMail wants to re-send close to 6GB of data to me again because I have been using GMail for about as long as it has existed, and I average 100-200 emails a day on that account.

    Download it from exactly the same place you downloaded it previously. If you purchased it from Adobe, you link is still available. If you don't have the email confirmation of your purchase, then log into Adobe.com and go to your account page to look at your Orders.
