I am unable to access previously purchased music to sync to my new ipod from my library.

Can anyone help me access previously downloaded music to sync it to my new ipod. my library is empty, but I can see purchased songs in my account settings. Thanks.

Also, i have tried using the purchased tab but only the 2 newest purchases are there, which i have already synced. All of my previously purchased music from earlier this year is no where to be found. Anyone please help!

HT201269 I am unable to download previously purchased music through iTunes to my new phone. What gives?

I tried re-purchasing the album, and it gives me the option in the music player, but iTunes has the same album grayed out. Getting really frustrated here!

Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

HT201269 Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account

Yes.
On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

HT204053 unable to downloand previous purchased music on my iphone

I am unable to download my previous purchased songs from Itunes to my Iphone. The only time I can view my purchases from my libray is through my wireless. When I disconnect my library the songs on my phone are no longer available. My cloud services are activiated.

Are you logged into the iTunes store on your computer with same account you bought the songs under (eg: on computer access iTunes store, do you see your account info up top in the right?)
If you are logged in, have you tried the Transfer Purchased Content from the File menu?

How can I put previously purchased music and videos on my new iPhone 4s?

I purchased the music back when I have a 4th generation ipod nano. I was able to retrieve it from the iTunes library, but cannot seem to copy and paste it to my iPhone. I even tried file > transfer purchases from iPhone (as I read it should ask if I want to put the songs that are on iTunes on the phone) and that didnt work! PLEASE HELP!

Huh? File has nothing to do with it. Do not click File. Forget File. It transfers FROM iphone TO itunes. This is NOT what you are trying to do.
You need to sycn your iphone. This is very basic and is certainly covered in the manual.
Open itunes.
Connect iphone.
Select what you want to sync.
Sync.

For some reason I am unable to access my purchased itunes music from my icloud or from my computer. I suddenly get this message: say that I the original location for the song cannot be found.

For some reason I am unable to access my purchased itunes music from the purchased folder in the itunes store or in my icloud. The descriptions of the songs I purchased are there, but when I attempt to play them it says that the original location of the song cannot be located. This is so frustranting. How do I get my songs back??

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I reset my apple id and lost access to my previously purchased music.

I reset my apple id password and lost access to my previously purchased music. How do I get those songs back in my cloud?

What do you mean by "reset?"
Your iTunes Store purchases are tied to the Apple ID (email address) that they were purchased with. If you log in to iTunes with a different Apple ID then you won't have access to your previous purchases. Is that what is happening?

HT1391 I have a new computer and cannot access my previously purchased music from here. The error message says I need to authorize this computer

I have a new computer and cannot access my previously purchased music from here. The error message says I need to authorize this computer??

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

I don't understand. Are you saying the CD will not play on any of your CD drives? What happens when you try? Have your tried the CD in a non-computer CD player, such as a car player?
Which album is this?

ITunes said I have to "authorize" my new computer in order to play previously purchased music, how do I do that?

I have a new iMac, when I tried to play previously purchased music on iTunes I was told that I have to "authorize" the new computer, how do I do that?

Authorization
iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.

How do I authorize my new mac book so i can download previously purchased music to this device

How do you "authorize" a new computer on Itunes so that you can download previously purchased music to a new computer?

Can I access my purchased music on multiple computers?

Whenever I buy music from the itunes music store, I want to transfer it to and from home and work. I generally make an MP3 disk because of a large playlist and so I don't have to tote/waste multiple disks, but you can't convert itunes purchses to MP3s. Is there anyway to access my purchased music through itunes from a different computer than the one I downloaded it on with my profile? Or do I just have to continue to burn audio CDs and/or email the songs to myself? thank you!
Powerbok G4(home)/Windows ME (work)

Make a Data disk, not an MP3 disk. (iTunes prefs -> Advanced - Burning)
Click purchased music and then Burn.
It will burn the iTMS files (AAC) and you can simply take them home and Add to library.

Cannot download previously purchased music

I am trying to download previously purchased music, Darius Rucker True Believer album, to my iPhone 5. I've tried using my LTE connection and WiFi. When I click on the cloud icon, it spins for a few seconds then stops. If I try to stream the song it just goes to the next song that's actually on my iPhone. I get no error message or prompt to sign in with my credentials. Having the same issue with a few other songs. I've downloaded updates and podcasts today so I know my connection is working.
I am not using iTunes Match.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

OK.
Not sure what your question is. The error message explains it pretty well.
