You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I have downloaded music to my phone through my Apple ID and it has this message that reads you can download purchases on this device with one Apple ID account every ninety days, what does this mean and how do I fix it?
Well, it doesn't mean that at all. You can download music purchased with an Apple ID to up to 10 devices. There is no 90 day wait. The wait is if you change the Apple ID.

When i downloaded itunes and try to launch the program it says a installed component is not installed. What does that mean?
Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7 -
It started with my iTunes not wanting to update at all. I kept getting an error that read "cannot access %appdata%". Ok so I let that go, still had my music, podcasts, books, etc...I just didn't have an updated iTunes. It still worked so I was cool with that. Then my phone broke this week, and I had to get a new one. When I came home to register, it didn't give me my songs like it did the last time I backed a device up to my account. So I had to do it manually. Not even half way through, it just stops and won't let me add anymore of my songs, and the few songs that I tried to drag over are gray in color on my phone and you can't listen to them when you tap them. Never mind all my other songs that I lost as well. I mean, come on! I had almost 300$ worth of music that I feel has been stolen. My kids received iTunes gift cards every Christmas and birthday for the past 3 years, and now it's gone. ALL OF IT. VERY VERY UPSET! Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself, so back to the issue. I'm beginning to get flipped out when it stops working altogether. iTunes, computer, everything. It finally says, iTunes has an update available that will solve the issue (yeah right). Me being dumb, I guess, I begin the steps to again try and download this update. Still getting the error mentioned above, so I start finding out what to do to get rid of that error so I can GET MY SONGS ON MY NEW PHONE. Go to apple support, and it says to delete iTunes and all its similar components, and it won't even let me do that!!! I go into administrator side, and it says I need permission. I had already gotten into our administrator side to which only my husband and I know the password so I already have permission. I give up on that for a while, and see if windows has any updates. There were a couple so I download those. Try to go back into iTunes once that's all done, and it shoots up this license aggreement. I'm excited at this point thinking my ordeal is over. So I click agree and iTunes comes up. That's when I discovered all my music, apps, podcasts GONE. I click on iTunes match, and it says something about matching music for $24.99 a month?! I WANT MY MUSIC BACK THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR. If this does not get resloved, I WANT MY MONEY BACK that was spent on this music. If this isn't resolved I also will never, NEVER reccomend iTunes, or any of its other music/app/book/podcast related business to anyone ever again. I have been an iTunes user for almost 4 years now, and I have never been this disappointed. When my phone broke we almost got a regular phone to save money, but because of all my music/books/podcasts already in my iTunes account we got another iPhone. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO TO RECOVER MY LOST LIBRARY!
hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

Hello I Have over the Years spent hundreds of dollars with Apple.I have authorized computers and have removed computers and therefore have lost purchased items.How do I restore ALL of the Items that I Have Paid Good Money for? Also I inadvertently have removed devices from the cloud and now have lost more $ in purchased items. Please help .Thankyou.
What you can redownload for free will show in the Purchased section : either click on the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage, or on the current version of iTunes you can click on your name towards the top right of the iTunes screen and then click Purchased on the popup :
If not everything shows there then check to see if you've hidden anything : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
You can't redownload audiobooks or tones without repurchasing, they are one-off downloads. And if an item is no longer in the store, or if you've moved countries since buying them, then you will also not be able to redownload them, you will have to copy them from your backup of your downloads/library or over from another computer if you still have them on it - if you're not keeping and maintaining a backup of all of your downloads then you should be doing so (the store's terms advise you to do so)., you are only guaranteed one download of any item
Deauthorising a computer and/or removing a device from the Manage Devices section of your account does not delete any content from the computer or remove items from the cloud. -
I have no "Rescue email" contact in order to reset my security questions!! I've been trying now for 4 days to contact Apple/Itunes but I only get sent answers from a support team that say they cannot help me with my problem!!
The thing is that I can't ever remember answering any security questions and without a rescue email, I'm unable to reset them or even set them for the first time!!
I can't believe that no-one from Apple/Itunes can help me with this simple problem but unfortunately that is the case - Incredible, isn't it!!!
Would anyone know how I could solve this problem online??? Because each time I sign into Itunes, the same security questions reappear and reappear and reappear. In fact I've got to the point where I feel like uninstalling Itunes and downloading an alternative.
Many thanksYou need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I was downloading apps that i deleted and my 4th generation froze. So i turned it off and restarted it and nothing happened. It is just showing me the apple screen after you restart it. I dont know what to do please help!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
I got a new HP with Windows 8, installed iTunes and half of my music library is missing. Please advise. Thanks.
Did you copy your library from your old computer, or backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

As the device is cut off from any sort of means of data transfer I cannot backup any of my Photos (ive just had my first child so there are loads on there). Im receiving a replacement phone from Vodafone UK on Monday but they have told me there is no way to back them up from one device to the other. Ive also contacted the Apple 'premium' retailer in my hometown who also said there was nothing they could do.
Advice would be much appreciated. ThanksAnyone?

I backed up my files on dvds before buying a new computer. When I went to tranfer teh files onto my new cpu the dvds were blank. Is there anything I can do to get my files back. Oh and I live in Canada.............
It would probably work if the thumb drive was still connected when you tried to play the song.
Go to iTunes preferences Advanced tab. There is a checkbox for Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library. If that checkbox is not checked, iTunes adds songs to your library but links to the song file from where it was added (which would be on the thumb drive). When you disconnect the thumb drive, iTunes says "the original file cannot be located."
If this is the reason for your problem, check that checkbox. You may also want to check the other checkbox for Keep iTunes Media folder organized, if it's not checked already.
With the thumb drive NOT connected, remove all of the songs you recently added from the iTunes library. Then, connect the thumb drive and add the songs again, like you did before. This time, iTunes will make of copy of the song files and put them in the iTunes Media folder. -
