HT201272 can we download previously purchased audiobook to other shared items?

In France we can download Music, Books and Apps from the Cloud (no movies or TV Show unfortunately). But Can't we download previouly purchased Audiobooks? Did I miss something or is it the same than with movies or TV Shows? I can't see anything about this specific media on Apple Support FAQ.
Thank you.
PS. If anybody knows when the "Previously Purchased" servicewill be available for Movies and TV Shorts in France, let me know too

You haven't got copies of them on your backup of your downloads/library ? You are only guaranteed one download of each item from the store (audiobooks and ringtonesare one-time only downloads ; other items are redownloadable depending upon what country that you are in and if they remain in your country's store), so you should be keeping a backup of all of your downloads. If they are still in your country's store then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload.

TS1474 I can't find previously purchased audiobooks on my computer, these downloads ar older than 90 days.

I have no clue what you mean. If you downloaded the audiobooks in iTunes on your computer or of you transferred the audiobooks from the iPad to iTunes via the transfer purchases feature, the books should be in your iTunes library,
If you are looking to download them again in the purchased section of iTunes, you have to buy them again. Audiobooks cannot be downloaded again for free. They are not part of iTunes in the cloud.

HT201272 To download previously purchased audiobooks to your computer or iPod

How do you download previously purchased audiobooks?
My laptop and iPod were wiped so I've lost all my audiobooks

Audiobooks are not currently available for repeat download so they won't show in the "Purchased" section of your account. You ought to have made a backup from which you could have restored all your content. There is no obligation on them to do so, but if you ask the iTunes Store support team nicely they might make an exception and requeue your missing content.

Is there away to download previously purchased audiobooks?

Is there a way to download previously purchased audiobooks?

Depending on the situation an e-mail to Apple may help you. I had a similar issue where I had accidently deleted one of the 'parts' of my audiobook and was unable to retrieve it. I used the "Express Lane" feature on the Apple website, which essentially involved filling in a short form on what the issue was. I received a reply within about 18 hours saying that a new copy had been placed in the 'downloads' section of my iTunes ready for me to download! Problem solved! I'm not sure if the response will differ if you wilfully deleted your audiobooks as it says you cannot redownload audiobooks somewhere in the iTunes Store terms and conditions.
Nonetheless, I'd definitely say it's worth a go. Safe to say I am very pleased as I thought I was going to have to shell out another £17 to finish listening to the story!
I hope this is of some help to you (or anyone else who may have this problem)!

HT201272 how can I download previoulsy purchased audiobooks?

I am trying to download a previously purchased audiobook but I can't find the way to do it.

If you buy an audiobook on CD you'll find it needs some effort to get it organized to play on Apple device. See Audiobooks on iPod for details.
Audiobooks purchased from the iTunes Store should be packaged as a single chapterized file that works better on Apple devices. At the present time you are only allowed one download of any audiobook, but you can backup those files just as you would any other.
Even though you can repeat download certain purchased content you should really backup your iTunes library regularly to avoid having to redo any work you've put into organizing your library along with ratings, playlists, and any media you can't download again. For a suggested strategy see this user tip.

I don't understand. Are you saying the CD will not play on any of your CD drives? What happens when you try? Have your tried the CD in a non-computer CD player, such as a car player?
Which album is this?

HT201272 How do I re-download previous purchased Audiobooks back to my iphone?

How do I re-download past purchased Audiobooks back onto my iphone?

Audiobooks are one of the few items for which re-downloading is not available. You'll need to sync them again from iTunes on your computer.

Can't download previously purchased music to new iPad "Associated with another Apple ID"

Hi There,
I have a brand new iPad Air and can see my previous purchases in the Music app. But when I try to download (by clicking the download/cloud icon) I get a confusing error:
"This device is already associated with an Apple ID".
The thing is, this is a brand new device - how could it be associated with another Apple ID?
The only other Apple ID on the device is the one used for iCloud - could this be confusing things?
Does anyone know how to get music onto the device?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Thanks Amish,
Dang it, I accidently marked your question as the answer from the email notifcation and can't change it.
I purchased it from Apple and have been in contact with them for over a week. Unfortuantely, they insist I'm logged in using differnt accounts despite me sending screen shots to the contrary.
I'm posting here becauase I'm getting nowhere with Apple - it's like they're stonewalling or the person I'm dealing with (Russ) is assuming I'm an idiot.
I've been using Apple products for 25 years, look after an OSX server (have also maintained a Microsoft SBS server) so am quite familiar with computers and user accounts.
But this situation has me stmped - both in terms of why it doesn't work, and why I can't get Russ to understand that I'm not logged in using a different Apple ID.
He keeps senindg me links to iTunes terms and conditions - I can't listen to music purchased from Apple on my Apple dvices also purchased from Apple. How can iTunes Ts & Cs justify that?
I've decided to a go a differnt route and report a problem via iTunes and see if I get a more helpful support guy.

Connected to iTunes store, but can't download previously purchased items?

When I set up a new computer last week, the Home Sharing process left a lot of holes in the iTunes library on my new computer. I went to the iTunes Store to download previous purchases in an effort to to fill some of the gaps. Initially, I was successful -- though the iTunes store would only download a couple of hundred files at a time. However, I can no longer make the "download previous purchases" function work, even though I still have around 350 files that it recognizes as available for download. When I click the "download all" option and enter my password, I consistently get a message like, "This item is currently unavailable. Try again later." This has been going on for more than a week. What can I do to make this work?
As a separate matter, iTunes only seems to recognize about 1100 of my previous purchases, though the real number is probably closer to 3500-4000. That is not critical, since I had MP3 backups for almost all of my ITunes purchases on an external hard drive. However, the process of reconstructing my library probably would have been easier if I could have restored more directly from iTunes. If anyone has encountered this kind of problem and figured out how to solve it, I'd be interested in case I ever have to go through the process again.

I had an issues similar to this with purchased music not all that long ago, and rebooting (I think) is what got it working for me again.
See if this helps - sign out, restart, sign in again and try again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
I would suggest rebooting the router - unplug it for about 30 seconds, and you can try that - but I'm not sure if that will help. It won't hurt anyway.

I changed my iTunes password and now I can't download previous purchases

I changed my iTunes password (but kept the same username), and now I can't re-download any songs that I purchased BEFORE changing the password.
When I follow the steps in the Apple support pages on how to re-download previously purchased songs, I am taken to my "Purchased" page in the iTunes store, but the songs I purchased before the password change don't show at all. Only the songs that I purchased after changing the password appear.
When I search for one of the older songs in the iTunes store, the menu bar to the right of the song says "purchased," confirming that I did indeed purchase the item. But again, I can't download it.
Again, I did not change my AppleID, only my password.
Does anyone know a fix for this? Thanks.

Hi hyperslam,
Are you certain that you are looking at "Purchased" here:
And not here:
You want to look for your Purchased items under QUICK LINKS not under the "Store" heading in the sidebar!

I can't download previously purchased items from itunes to my ipad

I just got a new ipad, and followed the directions to download previously purchased music and video to the ipad. I go into Itunes, select purchased, choose what I want. The ipad then tells me that it is downloading, but once it finishes, the music and video do not appear in the music/video section of the device. The 'usage' also tells me that I don't have any music or video.
Has this happened to anyone else?

This will not necessarily work if the device has been modified.

HT201272 Can't restore previous purchase from old iPhone to new iPhone. It says all purchases are downloaded when it's not. No download icon on the screen, can't re-download as it says "purchased". Help pls!

I've never really had problems on syncing one device to another. However, this time time I can't seem to restore it to the 5s. When I check iTunes it says that all purchases has been downloaded, but of course it's not. When I try to find it so maybe I can re-download it, it reflects as purchased so I can't download it anymore. Help pls...

And you are looking in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on them ? On that tab you've selected Music at the top of it, then 'Not on this iPad' and 'all songs' ?
Is that what you are seeing in the Purchased tab, or is there not a Music button at the top of it or are you not seeing anything listed there ?
