You need to be logged into iTunes using the same Apple ID (iTunes Store account) you used when you oiginally purchased the songs from the iTunes Store. You can check the Apple ID used to purchase a particular song by doing a Get Info on the song and looking for Account Name on the Summary tab of the Info window.
If you are still having problems, you should contact iTunes Store support, starting at this link

HT201269 Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account

Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?

Yes.
On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

I forgot to back up my ipod and when I updated it last night it reseted all my music and apps to factory default. Is there anyway I can regain all my purchased music and apps even though I haven't backed anything up?

Last night I decided that I would go and update my ipod for the first time to the latest version of the system. I completely forgot that I still had not backed up any of my purchased music and apps and of course when the update was finished, I found that all my music and apps had been erased. Is there anyway I can get my music and apps back.

HT203167 I tried the procedure to Download previously "purchased" music and it does not work. The songs show in my my previously purchased list. DETAILS Remind Me (Duet with Carrie Underwood) 4:32 Brad Paisley This Is Country Music Country

How can I get all my previously purchased music.

What do you mean by 'does not work' ? If you would like help from these user-to-user forums then more info would be useful.
Do they songs show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes ? If they do, but they don't have the cloud symbol against them for redownloading, then do you still have them listed in the Music part of your library (where you would click on them to play them) ? If you do then try deleting them from there and they should then get the cloud symbol against them in Purchased for redownloading.
If you are in a country where music can't be redownloaded,or if you've changed countries since buying them or they are no longer in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their content), then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your downloads/library.

HT201269 Hi. My kids are all on my itunes account. They have purchased music and apps. I need to set up their own accounts since when on my account they also get my ext messages. How can I set up new accounts and transfer what they purchased from my ac

Hi. My kids are all on my itunes account. As a result they also ge my text messages. I would like to set up their own accounts but be able to transfer the songs and apps they purchased. Can this be done?

You can still share an iTunes account for purchasing and downloading content. Just create a new Apple ID for iCloud to use for Messaging. If you try to create a new Apple ID for music and content, everything on their phone is tied to the Apple ID used for purchases, and would then require the password for that Apple ID to update. The way I described is easier.

I had a hard drive crash. How do i recover Purchased music and apps

How do I get my stuff back?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
You buy one and only one download of music and vids. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
Unlike music you can redownload apps

HT201272 Downloading Previously Purchased Music

When I try to download music I previously purchased onto an authorized computer, it makes me click a 'Buy' button. I won't be charged for songs I already paid for, right?

What country are you in ? If the music appears in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer then you should be able to re-download them for free (as described here)

How can I put previously purchased music and videos on my new iPhone 4s?

I purchased the music back when I have a 4th generation ipod nano. I was able to retrieve it from the iTunes library, but cannot seem to copy and paste it to my iPhone. I even tried file > transfer purchases from iPhone (as I read it should ask if I want to put the songs that are on iTunes on the phone) and that didnt work! PLEASE HELP!

Huh? File has nothing to do with it. Do not click File. Forget File. It transfers FROM iphone TO itunes. This is NOT what you are trying to do.
You need to sycn your iphone. This is very basic and is certainly covered in the manual.
Open itunes.
Connect iphone.
Select what you want to sync.
Sync.

HT201272 download previously purchased music to your iTunes

My issue is how do I get my past purchases to show on my iTunes purchase area????
This is where I have my problem???

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.

HT203167 How do I re-install my music and apps that I paid for after I reset my phone???

My debit card has no money on it but I've already purchased music and apps why won't it let install the music and apps I paid for after I reset my iPhone??? I'm sure there is a simple solution to this I'm a new iPhone user so there are a lot of things I need to learn to use this phone properly!!! It is saying that my card is declined but I already paid for the things I want to install,it won't even let me install the free apps.

After you reset your iPhone, did you enter your Apple ID into it during setup? The same Apple ID with which you made the purchases? If so, you will be able to reinstall the apps without repurchasing them.
When you go into the store and locate one of the apps you previously purchased, after a moment, the purchase price should be replaced with iCloud download button. That indicates your Apple ID already purchased that app and you need only tap the cloud button to redownload and install it.
If you have done local backups to a laptop/computer, and you cable connect your iPhone to that laptop/computer, you can use the Apps tab on the device screen to manage the apps--reinstall them.
If you had data in the Apps, whether that is retained will depend on how the particular App stored the data. If it is backed up iCloud, you will get the data back once you download the app and launch it (may take a few minutes).
EDIT: Same applies to music you purchased (including free purchases, on both apps and music).

IPhone 3GS to iPhone 4 - music and apps transfer

Could anyone help me out with this one - I can't seem to find the answer to this within the forum.
I have an iPhone 3GS and will be purchasing an iPhone 4. The issue I have is that my current 3GS was originally synced to my work PC laptop. For some reason I have been unable to access iTunes through my work laptop due to one of the servers linking to it going down (my IT dept have been no help). So, I have purchased music and apps directly from my 3GS.
My question is, if I activate my iPhone 4 on a home Mac, what do I need to do to ensure all of my purchased apps / music from my 3GS will upload to my new iPhone 4? Do I just need to sync my 3GS to the home Mac and open my iTunes?
Also - does it matter anymore if my 3GS was activated with a PC and then get synced with a Mac?
I appreciate anyone's help on this.
Many thanks
Is it just a case of sycning my 3GS to the home Mac iTunes and then

Connect the iPhone 3GS to the home computer and choose Transfer Purchases from the dialog box which appears or the File menu in iTunes. Once the content is in the iTunes library, sync the iPhone 4.
Don't sync the iPhone 3GS until the content is in iTunes.

Can i buy music and apps from a UK iTunes account in the UAE?

If I take my UK-bought iPad to Dubai in the UAE, will I be able to access my UK iTunes account to purchase music and apps (and iOS updates) whilst in Dubai? I've googled the issue but there are so many different answers that I need some sort of authoriative guidence, if anyone can help please. Is it correct that Apple will not allow iTunes transactions from non-UK IP addresses?

Here in the EU, free trade between EU countries should allow EU residents to buy whatever they want from any EU country. However, Apple's iTunes/App Store restrictions effectively block this, so I'm not sure how this is happening from a legal standpoint. I believe there may be some EU folks looking into it.
It's kind of weird that I can order a physical CD from any EU country and legally buy it from the UK. However, Apple prevents this for digital downloads by having it's "must have a billing address in the selected Store's country" rule. Basically going against EU free trade rules.
According to this article, it's to do with music licensing issues, which are done on a country-by-country basis, rather than the EU as a whole. But there are no such licensing issues with apps, so why Apple imposes the same restrictions I don't know.
