HT201272 Downloading previous purchases

Songs that I previously purchased are not showing up in my purchase list but they are still available on itunes.  How can I download these previous purchases?

It doesn't need to have Lion to run the latest version of Safari. Open and run the Software Update pane of System Preferences, and keep running it until it doesn't show any updates.

  • 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)

  • HT201272 Downloading previously purchased ringtones

    I've just had to replace a faulty IPhone 4 and while I have managed to access most backed-up data and my apps, what I am unable to access are my ringtones. When I've located them at the ITunes store it acknowledges that I've previously purchased them and asks me if I want to purchase again. While it's only a few quid in the grand scheme of things, it seems ridiculous that the store recognises that I've already bought them, but does not allow me to download in the way that I could with my apps for example.
    Has anyone else experienced this??
    Cheers

    No, everything was backed up, but my IPhone was faulty and the backed-up material somehow got corrupted and they 'vanished'. No matter.
    Thanks anyway!

  • 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.

    How do I download previously purchased albums from iTunes when the album has either disappeared from my computer or the tunes are not playable?  The albums show as purchased on the iTunes store, but not available to download to my authorized device.  I also have albums that appear in my library, but are not able to be added to my iPod from my computer

    When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

    I am finding the ability to download previous purchases now shown on my iCloud account to be difficult.  Music appears fine and most movies are OK but I have problems with all music videos included with album purchases.  Any ideas?

    Firstly, I purchased my first iPhone a few years ago, since then there have been a lot of apps released, a lot which I downloaded for free, tried and deleted from both my phone and my iTune 'Apps' Panel. What bothers me is when I do get a new iOS device, iPad and/or iPhone 5, and I don't want to just copy the back-up of my current iOS device to the new one, then to get the apps I want I will have to scroll through countless useless 'trash' applications in my purchase history to 'cloud download' the ones I want.
    Just sync the apps you want from your computer. You don't need to redownload them directly on the iPhone Purchased list.
    Will Apple be employing such a feature, a 'permanently delete/un-purchase' feature?
    Dunno.

  • 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 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.

    there needs to be a how to download previous purchased ringtones, such a simple task has been made far to difficult for customers

    Ringtones (and audiobooks) can't currently be re-downloaded from the store. If they are no longer on your device then have you not got them on your computer and/or on a backup ?

  • HT201272 It doesn't make sense if I want to re-download previous purchases it is because I no longer have the pc used at the time or it has been reformatted Somehow I lost my earlier purchases in 2006 -07-08 how can get those files back?

    How can I re-download previous purchases  2006-07 if I do not have the same PC?
    Thanks

    The ability to redownload past purchases is tied up to your iTunes account, not your computer. I don't know how far back in time Apple will have kept your purchase history. Presumably they now aim to keep it indefinitely but that may not have been the case in the past when you were only entitled to a single download.

    If you didn't make a back-up of your music/movie purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Products may only be downloaded once; after being downloaded, they cannot be replaced if lost for any reason. Once a Product is purchased or rented (as applicable) and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage" iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once If you have an iPod that still has any of your purchases on it you'll find details in this article on how to transfer them to the computer: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store Failing this, you could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link it'll take you to the support/contact page: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support You might also want to check out these pages for future reference:

  • 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.
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    Cheers,

  • HT201272 Error in connection when downloading previously purchased music. Help please!

    I'm trying to download previously purchased music onto a new authorized computer, but for a number of songs (1 in 10 approximately), I continually get the message that the connection cannot be established.
    In my Library, these songs cannot be played.
    However, when I go back under Itunes Store > Purchased - beside every song (regardless of whether it was successfully downloaded or not), it says Downloaded. So I can't download them again.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Ability to redownload varies from country to country, the US having most options currently:

    If you think you should have more optons check your country is correctly set in iTunes.
