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.

  • HT201272 Is there a way to download previously purchased ring tones?

    I there a way to download previously purchased ringtones? Purchased a new computer, and when sync'ing my iphone to the new computer I lost my previously purchased ringtones. They do not see to appear in the "purchased" listing which is songs, shows and movies???

    Not sure why I received a message telling me that the ringtone I was about to purchase had already been purchased if you can't obtain from purchase history, but OK. That being the case, can ringtones be purchased on the computer rather than the phone so that the file is saved on my PC?
    Thanks for your help.

  • HT201272 Is there a way to download previously purchased book tapes to a computer?

    I am trying to download some book tapes that I have purchased from another computer. When I go into the purchased section of itunes there is an option for books, but this is eBooks and the stuff I am trying to download is a book tape. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to get around this problem or if there even is a way around this.
    Thanks!

  • 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.

    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.
    See Here for full details...

  • 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

    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:

  • Is there a charge for downloading previous purchases?

    I was looking and saw the option to download previous purchases. I know it is a silly question, but was wondering if itunes charges a second time for downloading the items?

    Mel,
    If your country Store allows re-downloads, and if you follow the instructions in this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519?  then there is no charge.

  • New Hard Drive - How to re-download previously purchased songs?

    I have an iTunes account. My son and I have purchased songs thru the same account. I have my songs in iTunes in my mac desktop. He has his songs in his iPod.
    My desktop's hard drive recently died and had to be replaced. I had all my songs backed up so no problem there.
    But my son did not have all his songs in his iPod.
    When I go to the iTunes store I see all the songs we have purchased but I can't figure out how to download them again to the new hard drive.
    Any help is appreciated.

    See this -> iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    Go here -> http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/lostmusic/
    and send an email to Apple.
    They have been known to allow users, on a case by case basis, to re-download songs ONE TIME.
    If they do allow this, make sure to back up any purchases immediately.
    Also, if the songs are on an iPod, they can be taken off the iPod back onto the computer.
