HT201272 How to download past purchase to iPhone

I am trying to figure out how to download an album To my iPhone that I purchased on my computer. When I go to the album in iTunes it says it was purchased but it is grayed out with no option to click on and hit download. Anyone know what I can do?

You have to have "Automatic Downloads" turned on on your iPhone and in iTunes on your computer to have downloads go to all your devices at the same time.
Or, just sync your iPhone with your computer and it should copy it to your iPhone, depending on what your music sync preferences are.

  • HT201272 Difficult to Download Past Purchases on iPhone 5.

    I have an older Macbook that can't go up to 10.6 and therefore won't download iTunes 10.7 - making it impossible to sync my iPhone.  This is really not cool.
    Therefore, I started downloading directly to the iPhone - but it's really difficult (there is, purposely, no "download all purchases" option).
    On iPhone 5, you can see past purchases by Artist only, not by album.  This makes compilation albums (soundtracks, classical, any album with multiple artists) a rain pain to download. 
    Is there a fix coming for that?  I'd like to look at purchases based on ALBUM, and then elect to download the ALBUM.

  • HT201272 This article doesn't say how to download past purchases from your computer/

    They have conveniently left off instructions on how to download past purchases fron the iTunes store.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    ??? That article has pretty clear instructions on how to redownload anything that is redownloadable (audiobooks are not, but that is the only thing).  The istructions for the iTunes store on an iOS device are the third link down from the top, and from a computer the last link.
    What exactly is missing?

    Some of my past music purchases have got erased from my library. I do not have a cloud back up. Can i download the songs again from the Music Store or I have to repurchase them?

    Click the link above (Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store), which takes you to the page you came from, and follow the instructions.

  • How to download past purchases on new hard drive on Mac

    My daughter's hard drive died last year (locked within Filevault from ages past) on her Desktop Mac. As a consequence, she has lost several years worth of purchased music from the iTunes store. Is there anyway to re-download her lost music without having to repurchase them all over again?

    This seems to take me in a loop between how to authorize/deauthorize my computer and how to download purchases to other devices- not the original PC.   She is older and more responsible now, but no back-ups were used at the time. I know (sigh). We seem to be able to get a listing of past ourchases from iTunes store for only the very recent time.
    Arewe just out of luck and learning about back-ups the hard way with her tune library?

  • How to download past purchases from old device to new one?

    I had an iPod touch that I purchased music on, now I can't find the device but it doesn't matter because I have an iPhone now. But the problem is I can't sync my old iPod to the computer since I can't find it, but why does that matter when the music was purchased? If it was all purchased under my Apple ID it should still be in my library but its not. I'm missing songs that I've purchased before, instead of the cloud icon showing up next to it the price does so I'm assuming I have to repurchase , which is ridiculous. Is there anyway I could get the songs that I've purchased back & put them on my iPhone

  • HT201272 I have OS 3.1.3 how do I go about Downloading past purchases from the App Store

    I have OS 3.1.3 how do I go about Downloading past purchases from the App Store?

    You can download the current versions of the apps from the store e.g. via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading. But you may find that the current versions require higher iOS versions than you have on your iPod - in which case have you not got copies of the older versions of those apps on your computer's iTunes or on a backup ?

    I purchased an album and didn't receive all of the songs.  I have iTunes 9.2.1 so I can't use the new 'Downloading past purchases" feature. How do I get the other songs?  Using an Iphone 3Gs

    Look under the Store menu in iTunes on your computer for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You may find the tracks there to be downloaded.
    If not, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department from their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form, or an "Email Us" button) and explain the problem to them.
    Regards.

    (Note, mine says 28 days because I have been waiting for a fair bit for this to go away.)

    You can't keep changing the ID you use with iTunes, you are limited to once every 90 days.
