HT201272 Cannot download previously purchased songs.

I go to iTunes store > purchased > name of artist ... and the songs I'm missing are listed.
However, where the "download" button is supposed to be it says "downloaded" and clicking on it has no effect. I assume that I downloaded them once when I first purchased the album, but they're missing from my Media Folder.
So, I need to REdownload the songs. How do I do that?

Yes ... thank you. I actually figured this out last night, but you're right on.
1. Delete the songs from the song list ... this eliminates the names from the iTunes Library.
2. Run Update iTunes Match from the Store menu (probably not necessary ... but I was trying everything at this point).
3. Go back to Purchased Music in the iTunes Store.
Now the store no longer thinks that the songs are on my computer, and the "Download" button is active.

    If I go to View Account > Purchase History I can see all the audiobooks I have bought, however when I go to the new Purchased feature I can see the music that I can re-download but the audiobook tab is empty even though the audiobooks appear in my purchase history.

  • HT201272 Is there a limit on downloading previously purchased songs?

    Is there a limit on downloading previously purchased songs?

    I think what the message is saying is that if you download past purchases for that account then you will be tying the Mac to that account for 90 days - I was thinking that it was saying that it's already associated with an account, not that you are about to associate it. If you don't want that to happen (which if it's your only account then it shouldn't be an issue), then you should be able to copy the content from your other Mac to it via, for example, home sharing : copying content between computers.

    i changed my credit card on my apple id and now i cannot download previous purchases?
    the songs appear on lightgray color on my itunes but i cannot play or download them again.

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    If you can't log into Settings>iTunes and App stores with your new ID them mean there is a problem. Try restting the password and try to sign in again.

  • Re-downloading previously purchased songs on a different computer

    Hi, I'm wondering if there is any way that you can download previously purchased songs on to a different computer to the one you purchased them on.

    I'm wondering if there is any way that you can download previously purchased songs on to a different computer to the one you purchased them on.
    Transfer the song files from one computer to the other manually, and then drag them into the open iTunes window. Except for applications, one purchase only entitles you to one download; if you don't have the files at all, fill out and submit this form.

  • Does it cost to download previously purchased songs/vides from I Phone onto I Pad 3

    does it cost to download previously purchased songs/vides from I Phone onto I Pad 3?

    It depends on where you live. You should be able to download virtually everything again for free if you live in the U.S except for some movies, audiobooks and extra iTunes content with movies.
    This explains how you can download again for free. You must be using the same Apple ID that you bought the content with as well.

    How can I re-download previously purchased songs from itunes?

    You only get one download.  It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
    UNLESS, you are in the U.S, then you can use the Beta version of icloud.  Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick links

  • My computer's hard drive crashed and now that its fixed I want to download previously purchased songs from Itunes

    My computer's hard drive crashed and now that its fixed (my computer) I want to download previously purchased songs from Itunes.  When I'm signed into Itunes and attempt to download from the cloud a text box pops up saying "I need to authorize the computer before I can download previous purchases".  I'm using the same computer that I purchased all previous songs.  So how do I authorize my computer?

    On your Computer...
    Open iTunes...  
    If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "  
    and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
    (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

  • HT201272 My computer is authorized, my database was corrupted, I went to download previous purchased songs. I can find them, under the purchased link, it will not let me download,  To the right it says downloaded in grey and does not give me a choice. Wha

    Can't DL previous purchased songs on authorized computer

    If you still have the entries for the songs in your iTunes library (even if the actual music files no longer exist), then iTunes assumes that you already have them and that there is no need to re-download them - try deleting the entry for one of them from iTunes and then try re-downloading it, and if it works then do the same for the others

  • Cannot download previously purchased music

    I am trying to download previously purchased music, Darius Rucker True Believer album, to my iPhone 5. I've tried using my LTE connection and WiFi. When I click on the cloud icon, it spins for a few seconds then stops. If I try to stream the song it just goes to the next song that's actually on my iPhone. I get no error message or prompt to sign in with my credentials. Having the same issue with a few other songs. I've downloaded updates and podcasts today so I know my connection is working.
    I am not using iTunes Match.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    OK.
    Not sure what your question is.  The error message explains it pretty well.

  • HT201272 Re-download previously purchased music

    I changed my OS and had to reload iTunes and my entire library. Some previously purchased albums do not play songs in their entirety. For instance if a song is longer than 3:33, it will stop at 3:33 and skip to the next song. I have tried to re-download previous purchases but am told it has already been downloaded. I just want to fix the album, how do I re-download an album I purchased?
    Thanks.

    If you do Get Info (control-I) on one of those track then on its Options tab its 'stop time' isn't set to 3:33 ?
    If you have the 'pointers' to them in your computer's iTunes library then it assumes that you already have them on there and that there is no need to re-download - try deleting them from iTunes (you don't have to delete the actual music files), and then try re-downloading them

  • HT201272 re-download previously purchased TV show

    I am trying to re-download a previously purchased TV show.  I do not have that TV show on my computer anywhere - I did a complete search for it. However, itunes is saying it's already on my computer. How can I re-download?

    Hello taaptar,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To download previously purchased items from the iTunes Store, please follow the directions outlined below.
    iTunes Store
    Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased in the Quick Links section.
    Select the content type that you want to download (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books).
    Select Not in My Library to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.
    Find the item that you want to download. You can browse using the menu to the left. If you have more than 2,000 songs, you'll see Recent Purchases instead of All Songs or Albums.
    Click the Download  icon next to the item you want to download.
    If an item is already in your library, the Download icon won't appear.

  • HT201272 To download previous purchased ringtones

    How do you download previous purchased ringtones

    Reply from iTunes Store Customer Support
    Leslie here again.
    There is no where for you to download them again for free- ringtones are not included in the iCloud feature. Applications can be redownloaded from the store at no additional cost- songs and movies can be redownloaded through iCloud (if they are available) but ringtones do not have that option. As I said, we can try to repost them for you but do not repurchase them unless you want to pay for them a second time. I encourage you to back up your purchases so you have the ability to restore them yourself if something happens to them.
    If you want to know more about redownloading applications and other purchases let me know, and I'll be happy to provide you the redownload apps information and the iCloud information but this doesn't help you with ringtones.
    I hope that this is helpful in resolving this matter.
    Thank you for choosing i

  • HT201272 Cannot download pervious purchased app after change country my AppleID registered..

    Cannot download pervious purchased app after change country my AppleID registered..
    How could I get app updates without change country back to origional country where I purchased app.?
    I have purchased lots apps on 2 country by same AppleID.
    It does not make sense to change the country setting.
    Due to in some country, iTunes online store only offer music/movies but NO TV show.
    So I change registered country of my AppleID to US store.
    Now I could purchased HD/1080p movies/TV shows, but cannot get app updates on iTunes which I purchased on pervious country.

    You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country...
