I'd like to retrieve previously purchased music

I can't find the link but apparently there is one to help me retrieve the music that I've purchased through iTunes without paying for the same stuff again. Or can someone walk me through it please?

Beerdo,
Apple's policy is clear: songs purchased from iTMS can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups .
That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to their policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form at the bottom of this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/windows/purchase.html
Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • Computer hard drive replaced, can i retrieve previously purchased music?

    Basically as above, my computer had major probs and had several pieces replaced including the hard drive. I have authorised it on my itunes account but is there any way to get my old purchased music back or will i have to buy them again?

    Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items. It's your responsibility to make backup copies in case something goes wrong with your system, as unfortunately it apparently did in your case, and you lose all the information on your hard drive. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places. If your hard drive was erased and you don't have a backup of your purchased items, and don't have them on an iPod, you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your tracks.
    If you have your tracks on an iPod or have them backed up, post back and someone here can help you get them restored. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis, but don't count on it.

  • When you download previously purchased music to the cloud does it cost anything??, When you download previously purchased music to the cloud does it cost anything??

    My computer just crashed tonight and I am trying to get my previously purchased music onto my new laptop but it keeps asking for my payment info like I am trying to make another purchase... Shouldn't I get it for free since I already paid for it?? I dont know if they are asking just because or if they are gonna charge me. I dont wanna go further until I know because that would be a large purchase and I am already out quite a bit of money today.
    Thanks,
    Mandy

    Currently music purchases can only be re-downloaded for free if you are in the US (re-downloading). If you are not in the US then you will need to buy them again if you want to re-download them - in which case have you not got a backup of your purchases on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs ?

  • HT203167 I tried the procedure to Download previously "purchased" music and it does not work. The songs show in my my previously purchased list. DETAILS Remind Me (Duet with Carrie Underwood)     4:32     Brad Paisley     This Is Country Music     Country

    How can I get all my previously purchased music.

    What do you mean by 'does not work' ? If you would like help from these user-to-user forums then more info would be useful.
    Do they songs show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes ? If they do, but they don't have the cloud symbol against them for redownloading, then do you still have them listed in the Music part of your library (where you would click on them to play them) ? If you do then try deleting them from there and they should then get the cloud symbol against them in Purchased for redownloading.
    If you are in a country where music can't be redownloaded,or if you've changed countries since buying them or they are no longer in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their content), then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your downloads/library.

  • How does one authorize another computer to play previously purchased music?

    I have recently downloaded a ITunes software on a new computer. I would like to authorize the computer to listen to previously purchased music.
    My understanding is that we can share music on Itunes on up to five computers.
    I woud appreciate if someone could share a document on how to authorize mulitple computer to a single account.
    Thank you

    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:

  • 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.

  • I recently had to uninstall itunes and reinstall it again. How do I get my previously purchased music back on my itunes?

    I recently had to uninstall itunes and reinstall it again. How do I get my previously purchased music back on my itunes?

    Depending on what country that you are in you might be able to re-download past music purchases via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page - re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    But if you only re-installed iTunes and you didn't remove the actual music from your computer, then it should still be on there, and you should be able to add it back into iTunes via File > Add Folder To Library - by default your iTunes content should have been stored under :
    Windows 7 and Vista : \users\username\My Music\iTunes.
    Windows XP : \user\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes.

  • 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?
