HT201272 need to download lost past purchases

I need help recovering past purchases from August 2012 thru 2013, at this moment, i have 1,798 songs on my past purchase folder, but i'm still missing around 500 to 1,000 songs. 

It sounds like you have a bit of a bookkeeping job ahead.  But once you've finished that (and identified the specific purchases you are missing), the article you attached above will give you all the mechanics you need.
Further, that article tells you how to reference even the material you need to begin your bookkeeping chore.

    How can i re-download a past purchase?

    Select Purchased in Quicklinks on the right-hand side of iTunes and download it again. Of course you must be signed in with the correct Apple ID that was used for the purchase.

  • Why can't I download any past purchases?

    Every time I try to download something I've already bought on another device it tells me that this device is already associated with an Apple ID and I can't download any past purchases for 52 days but I just bought a top gear episode which I can't download on either device because of this. Please help me find a solution to this

  • I downloaded a past purchased album songs individually. I clicked on the cloud button. I'm sure that means you will not be charged again.

    I downloaded a past purchased album songs individually. I clicked on the cloud button to do it. I'm pretty sure that mean you will not be charged again.

    Its just that i previously asked similar question and one guy answered that you have to download a past purchase again like the original purchase. In this case the orginal purchase was the whole album. Also I then downloaded the whole album after downloading the individual songs.

  • How can I download my past purchases that are not in my icloud?  Somehow I lost songs that I purchased they say that the orginal files are gone but I did not delete them

    How can I download past purchases that are not in my icloud?  Somehow I lost songs it says that the orginal files can not be located.  They are still available in the store but it doesn't give me the option to download them.  I did not delete any songs or files but I am missing a lot of files

    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
    If you have to resort to trying to pull back the library from your iPod see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Note also that if iTunes has an entry for a song, even if that entry is broken, then it won't offer that track for download since it "thinks" you already have it. If you can't find the original files or recover them from a device, then you may need to delete the broken entries, close iTunes and reopen before you can access the past purchases.

  • HT201272 Trying to download lost purchases and it is not working...

    I am trying to download my previous music purchases from iTunes.  Some of my music was backed up on an old drive and a lot of the newer purchases were lost.  It says that those files were "downloaded" and I am unable to re-download them. Is there some other way I am able to redownload the purchases that were lost?  Thanks!

    If you have the files or partial files somewhere on your device the iTunes store will tell you that they have already been downloaded.  You can try to delete them from your library by holding Option and delete keys.  Then if the store does not detect them,  I think you can fool it into downloading them again.  They say that your purchases are always available even if you delete them.
    IF YOU DON'T SEE THE FILES-
    HERE'S WHAT APPLE SAYS:
    Note: Downloading of previously purchased movies is available in the United States only.
    Open iTunes 10.6 or later on your computer. (You can download the latest version of iTunes here.)
    If you're not already signed in, click Sign In, and enter your Apple ID and password.
    After you've signed in, click Purchased on the right side in the iTunes Store under the QUICK LINKS section.
    From your Purchased page, click the tab for the content type you're looking for (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books).
    Click Songs or Albums to change the page view and All or "Not in My Library" to view your purchased content that currently is not downloaded on your computer.
    Click the download icon to the right of each item to download that item.
    Notes:
    To download previous purchases on a computer, your computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that was used for the original purchase. For more information about iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization see, this article.
    If they are offered for purchase in 1080p, you can download previously purchased 720p HD TV shows and movies in 1080p. Learn more about downloading in 1080p.
    Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.

  • Need to download lost music

    I went online to see how to download past purchased music and movies since I lost most of it on a crashed disk: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    I follwed the directions and found this little "cloud icon" and clicked dowload all and the download started.
    After about 5 minutes and part way through the download iTunes froze and I had to "Force Quit" the application.
    I restarted iTunes and appeared to complete a download but then stopped.
    Is this a one time shot at getting them back?
    Now I wanted to download lost movies but don't know where they are?
    Where is the Movie button?
    Where are the Movies?

    I went to "Books" and one of the books I purchased has changed it's name to "Unknown Ablum, Unknown Author" and when I can look at it. The cover icon is there but it doesn't work. The book is called "A Storm of Swords" by George R.R. Martin (part of the Game of Thrones series). It's not allowing me to download it again?

  • My "Puchased" list isn't showing up. How do I download my past purchases?

    When I click the Purchased tab, it just goes to a basic white screen.  None of my songs, movies, or anything will show up.  It's not my computer because I tried to access it on a different computer and it still didn't work.  Please help, I need to download my songs.  Thank you(:

    Many of us are having the same problem. It's a glitch with the newest version of Quick Time. The App Store is also blank.
    I have a solution, which has worked like a charm for others, too. BUT YOU MUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO A TEE.

    Hi Judy,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to download a recent audiobook purchase on your iOS devices. The article linked below provides a lot of information about downloading past purchases and ways to resolve issues with purchases, it also outlines the ways to get audiobooks purchased from the iTunes Store transferred to your iOS devices.

    If you made a backup of these items on your Mac or PC, you can sync the items to your iOS device. You can't download these items again from iTunes in the Cloud.
    I hope this helps.

  • Annoying download problem - past purchases?

    I'm trying to re-download some music I've bought to my iPhone, not using iTunes on the computer, downloading directly to phone. For all the songs I've purchased there is a little cloud download button and it downloads the music just fine. But for one album - Moondance Ultimate Oldskool Classics, there's no download button, just a label saying 'PURCHASED'. I can't re-download this album at all!!
    Any ideas?! Thanks.

    Additional information: this was on Windows 7 using iTunes 10.5.  I can't be certain but the past purchases list seemed complete.  Selecting a song for download worked fine, next I selected the individual download, download seemed fine took about a minute but then after hitting play the song began in the middle.  It was after repeating the process that I noticed each song was only 1'30'' in length.

  • HT203433 Difficulties downloading from past purchases

    iTunes says I have downloaded a full album from my past purchases, but only a few of the songs are in my Library. I've tried deleting and re-downloading them from i-Tunes, but only the same ones download each time. It isn't even an option to download the rest of the songs individually, and downloading the whole album just does the same few songs. Any help?

    I've figured it out; just error on my part, so disregard!
