How do I retrieve my iTunes purchases?

I had to restore my computer due to a virus emergency. The wipe ended up destroying my iTunes backup completely because the virus literally infected everything, and now it says that there's no available downloads (I think that has something to do with authorizing computers, because I never got to deauthorize my iTunes before I restored my computer to factory settings). How do I retrieve my iTunes purchases? There's got to be some way to do it, I spent probably over $500 on purchases and will be really upset with Apple if there's no way to get it all back.
Also, I looked up some YouTube videos on how to do it, and some mentioned a place on the Apple website where you request them to reapply your active downloads, which will recover all of your purchases even in a situation like mine. However, all the links that were provided on the videos are now broken. If someone could either tell me what to do straight up, or send me a working link to that place, that'd be great. Thanks!

Depending upon what country that you are in (not all content types can currently be re-download in all countries) then you should be able to re-download some/all via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you are not in a country where everything can be re-downloaded and you haven't got a backup then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

HT1373 How do I backup my itunes library to an external drive

My iTunes library is unstable. I have two questions:
1) How do I backup my iTunes library to an external drive?
2) Why am I constatntly prompted to add my computer to iCloud when I have done so multiple times?
When opening iTunes, I receive he error message: "Please Sign In Again, iTunes Match has encountered an error. Please choose Sign Out and he Sign In from the iTunes Store menu and try again."
I tried downloading and installing/repairing the latest iTunes. That did not correct the problem.
Also, I have sync'd to iCloud. Every time I select iMatch from iTunes, I am prompted to Add This Computer to iCloud. I have already done this multiple times.

Hello cijackson,
You posted your question in the iTunes for Mac Forum. You may get better results on the iTunes for Windows forum. Best of luck > https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows?view=overview

How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another

How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another?

Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
4. sync your device
5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
Delmar,
The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

HOW DO I DOWNLOAD AN ITUNES PURCHASED MOVIE ONTO A FLASH DRIVE

If you want to back it up to the flash drive, download it normally, locate the downloaded file, and drag it there.
If you want the active iTunes library on the drive, locate it in the Finder or Windows Explorer, drag it there, launch iTunes with the Option(Mac OS X) or Shift(Windows) keys held down, and point it there.

TS1424 How do I get unauthorized iTunes purchases removed from my bank account?

How do I get unauthorized itunes purchases removed from my bank account?

You can always dispute the charges with your bank, if possible. With Apple, they typically stand by the phrase that all sales are final. However, if you go to the iTunes Store, then click on your email address (Apple ID) in the black nav bar, and click on "Account"... you will see a "Purchase History" section. Here, select "See All." If the order is still processing, it will be at the top. If it has completed (at the bottom), click on the arrow next to the order number you want to inquire about. A new order page will open. Here you can click "Report a Problem" then click "Report a problem" (again) next to the item you want to dispute. Here you can chose your problem. You should likely use the "Other" category. It will be up to the customer service person on whether they grant you an exception to their normal rule that you can't get refunds.

I presume your songs were on the computer before you updated to the recent version. If so see Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash or
Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. For backup advice see the user tip Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "print" your library, but I have a script called ExportCSV that can be used to export selected data which can then be read with a spreadsheet such as Excel.

How do I delete pending itune purchases?

How do I delete pending itune purchases?
When I download an app, itunes tells me I have 24 pending purchases. I use a giftcard to make purchase, but now I'm apprehensive to load another card.
Your help is appreciated.

You can finish the download to your computer, which is faster, or you can contact support and request to remove the items on you download queue.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Having items on your download queue should not affect the available store credits on your account.
Hope this help.

HT204088 How can i cancel an itune purchase?

How can i cancel an itune purchase made by mistake?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Apple's policy on sales of digital content is that all sales are final. If however you wish to appeal to Apple, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will not be redirected to the report form, in this case use the report a problem option from the invoice that was emailed to you.
