HT201272 why cant i restore my previous purchases?

i had an iPod a few years ago, and downloaded a bunch of songs....years went by, and i lost the iPod in the process of moving. My daughter now has an iPod, and when i went to sync her to my account, my old downloads showed up on her device. I can not, however, access these downloads from the computer. Is there any way possible to do this? If not, why?

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT201272 Why can't I download previous purchases of audio books?

    I see now that I can download previously purchased items, which is so awesome, but none of the audiobooks that I have purchased in the past are listed.  only the regular books to be used in ibooks. 

    Becuase this is not a feature of icloud.  The audiobook distributors do nto allow this.

  • HT4946 when you change your country of orgin. why cant you buy in app purchases from apps that you downloaded in the previous country?

    when you chane your country of orgin. why cant you buy in-apps purchases from apps which you bought in the previous country?

    Bob,
    Apple did approve our in-app purchase without publishing the folio ahead of time.
    I have a new question: Can I change the "Cleared for sale" attribute in the iTunes Connect interface from no to yes before a folio's scheduled publication date? Or should I wait until after the folio has been published?
    I would think you could set the "Cleared for sale" attribute to yes before the publication date and it would not cause any problems since the folio is not available to purchase until it's published.

  • Why is playback of a previously purchased movie taking so long?

    Why is playback of a previously purchased movie (Man of Steal) going to take 18 hours now 20 now hours to play on my AppleTV?
    Is this a buffering problem with Comcast or is Apple servers?

    There's a slim chance that it might be a symptom of a wide-spread issue with ATV's right now [though looks to be primarily Gen 1 units].  There's an existing topic here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25524317#25524317 [though I doubt it in this case, but might be a side effect of the problem on Apple's side]
    In this case I suggest  you submit the bug via the feedback page https://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html

  • Why cant i listen to my purchased music

    Why cant i listen to my purchased music

    No idea. How about a few more details about the problem so we have something on which to base a diagnosis and suggestions? As it is, you've given us nothing to go on, so please provide your Mac model, Mac OS X version, iTunes version and a complete description of the problem, including error messages if any. Then perhaps someone can offer advice.
    Regards.

  • Why can't I download previous purchases on my new I pad?

    Why can't I download previous purchases on my new I pad?

    Without more information from you nobody here could possibly answer that question.
    Are you connected to the Internet?
    Are you signed into the correct ID?
    Do you have anything restricted as far as installing in or downloading in Settings>General>Restrictions?
    Are you purchases trying to download, but stalling?
    Is anything happening at all?
    Any help here or should we just keep guessing?

  • Restoring applications previously purchased on another country's AppStore

    Hi,
    Just purchased another iOS device (iPad mini), I am wondering why apps previously purchased on AppStore are not available for download
    Please note I purchased them from France's AppStore, but now, my iCloud account is setup for the US (since I moved and changed my credit card)
    Thanks in advance

    Removed payment details and tried to re-buy Dictionnaire Larousse, following the security checks, I received a message telling me "this update is free because you own a previous version of this item"
    However, it was unsuccessful with all EA apps

  • Why cant i restore my iphone and why does it keep turning off and on by itself

    hello all
    i just would like to know why my phone keeps turning off and on by itself
    and why i cant i restore it on itunes
    many thanks
    al

    What worked for me, is going to the camera app, switch to video, turn on flash, and record.  Let the phone record for about 10 minutes.  (your phone will probably keep reseting itself) but that is okay, let it reset, and go back the the camera app and repeat.  what you are supposed to do is let the phone sit there and wait for the back to feel sort of hot. stop recording at about 8 minutes and plug your phone into itunes, it should be charging, and once you do so you can then set your phone into DFU mode.  This might not help you, or it will.  I just fixed my iphone today, that had the same problem as you.  so keep trying and it will come back to normal again!  Cheers!

  • Why do all of my previously purchased app say they are no longer available?

    Each time I try to download a previously purchased app, a message says it is no longer available.  It even happens with my movies I've purchased.  Is iCloud down or something?

    There currently appears to be a problem with the iTunes Store. Try again tomorrow.

  • HT201272 I want to download a previously purchased album that had an "error" and isn't complete. I have an older Mac and don't have iCloud. Surely there is some way to get the music I paid for!

  • 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.

  • HT201272 Can I still download my previous purchase from my previous country (returning back) without repurchasing it?

    Can I still download my previous purchase from my previous country (returning back) without repurchasing it? I'm curious since my purchase of iPhoto has disappeared on my mac, will I be able to get it again without repurchasing?

    How are you trying to redownload them e.g. you are using the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes :
    If you are in a country where music can be redownloaded then that should let you redownload them from the store.
    If they redownload in the same shortened state then you can contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT201272 How can I get my previous purchases transferred to my new computer?

    I bought a new laptop and dont know how to get my previous purchases on this itunes.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
