I have bought a music album, deleted it, now can't download it again?

I recently bought downloaded an album from iTunes, the accidentally deleted it from my library. I have logged in to iTunes and the album is missing from the library. When I go the the album in the store, it tells me that the album has been purchased, but does not give me the option to download it again.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello perry586,
I found an article with steps you can take to download this album again. As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the songs, you will not be charged for the songs.
You can find the steps to do this under the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

TS4605 i have lost an audiobook from my iphone how can i download it again

i have lost an audiobook from my iphone how can i download it again

According to that article you can not redownload audiobooks like you would everything else
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085.
So in the future I would suggest to make sure you backup everything to the computer.
But in the meantime you can email itunes to regrant that book to you here.

Click "contact itunes store support" and email about your book.

Bought a 2nd hand MBA but now can't download iPhoto

I recently bought a 2nd hand Macbook Air and it already had Lion installed. It didn't come with the Lion USB so I can't do a reinstall if I wanted.
Now when I sign in to the App Store and try to download iPhoto or Garageband, I can't. It says something about my profile not being allowed to download it as the download is attached to another account, presumably the previous owner.
So how am I able to download iPhoto? I don't mind paying for it, but it still won't let me as the only option I get is "Download".
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

I think you will need to wipe the drive and reinstall Lion after purchasing your own copy from the App Store. I suggest the first thing you should do now is backup anything on the drive you need to keep. Then sign in to the App Store under your Apple ID and purchase and download Lion if that's possible - I think you should be able to do that.
How To Re-Download The Lion Installer
This appeared as a hint at MacOSXHints.com, and will work to force the download of any purchase on the Mac App Store.
Open the Mac App Store.
Navigate to your Purchased page.
Hold down the Option key on your keyboard and click on your 'OS X Lion' purchase link (not on the 'installed' button).
You see the Lion product page. It should say 'Installed,' but that button is clickable. Hold down the Option key again and click on 'Installed.' If you don't hold the option key it will tell you there's already a newer version installed.
Enter your login credentials.
Download.
It's important to hold down the Option key twice. Once on the Purchased page, once on the Lion page. You also can't navigate to Lion directly, you need to open it from the purchases page.
If you follow this procedure you should find the Lion Installer in your Applications folder. Be sure to move it to your Downloads folder for safekeeping. Do not use it to install Lion, rather make a copy to use.
Once you can download Lion you want to keep it and make a bootable USB flash drive installer for yourself:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.
Use the installer to first erase your hard drive then install Lion:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot from your USB flash drive installer:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the USB flash drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

If i delete 1movie 08 can i download it again?

im having problems on the imovie 08 and wanted to know if i deleted imovie 08 will i still have all the events if i re download it?? and if i can re download it

iM08 is delivered on a disk.. (iLIfe8)..
the process to 'beam' it on your Mac is called 'install', not 'download' ...
(e.g. you download from the internet.. iMovie isn't for download... legally... )
if you re-install iM08 from your installer disk, Events and Project Folder kept untouched.. the iLife installer just installs the app, not 'overwrite' the Folders...-

Deleted files, now can't download from cloud

I deleted a bunch of files from my c-drive, thinking that since they were iTunes purchases, I'd be able to re-download them from the cloud. Some of them have been capable of doing that, others are giving me the error message saying that the original file location could not be located and the song could not be downloaded. When I went into purchased in itunes store, the song shows up but does not have the little cloud in the corner. I am still able to play them on my iphone. Somebody help!

The old iTunes libraries do not restore any playlists or song counts.
They should you if you do the roll back properly... Opening files from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in Windows Explorer simply opens the current library. If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't give your copied and renamed file the extention or iTunes will create an empty library rather than using the renamed file.
If you had a complete pre-problem backup of your library you could restore that. On the assumption that isn't possible I have a script called ExportImport that could in principle be adjusted to save the relevant data from a backup of the library database and then reimport that data into the current library. See this thread for details.

HT1386 i bought a music album and can not get it up on my new I phone 4s?

I just bought a music album downloaded into my i phone. Then that iphone crashed so got another one the same day. I can not get up the album that I paid for on my music site? What must I do to get it back. I have i Cloud and got most of my pictures uploaded but not my one album ( I only had one).
Please assist.. Thank you, Marci

Go to iTunes on your iPhone, and click "Purchased" on the bottom toward the right. You should find the album in both "All" and "Not on This iPhone". You should be able to re-download it. If it's in iCloud, you will see the cloud from which to download; otherwise, you should see a download button.
If you do not see it, then inspect your account on iTunes on your computer. Go to your account there, and there is a place that lists your purchases.

Last summer I bought a music album from iTunes. I've already transferred all my orders from my units, but somehow iTunes wants me to pay for the same album again. When I try to add it to my wish list it simply tells me that I've already bought that item.

And I've already tried to search for downloadable purchases.
So fact is established, I've purchased this album before but iTunes does not recognize it.
What to do?

Hey sorry for the late response but I've been out of town. I can copy and paste the email responses if necessary or desired, and if it's fixed already this is a moot point anyway, but basically they kept asking me for the order numbers for the two songs I already bought from the specific album I was trying to complete, which I eventually gave them - along with telling them multiple times that the Complete My Album feature wasn't working for ANY album. They gave me two free song codes to compensate me for the two songs I bought, and then told me to go and buy the album at full price, but the ENTIRE TIME they COMPLETELY ignored that I was telling them that this wasn't an issue with one album but was a larger, seemingly systematic issue that other people were experiencing. Even after I got the song codes I emailed them back and said AGAIN that this wasn't an isolated feature, and they just sent me the link to the apple Feedback page (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html) and told me to submit my complaint there. So, technically, my issue was never really "resolved," in that they never fixed the Complete My Album feature that I am aware of - or even acknowledged that anything needed fixing, but I haven't tested it since Sunday.
If it's working for you, then hopefully they fixed it! I've noticed they've updated to 10.4.1, but the notes don't indicate they're fixing anything about the Complete My Album feature, so I don't know.

The Superdrive on my MacBook Pro ejects audio CDsa few seconds after they are inserted. This happens with both prerecorded CDs I have bought in music stores AND with audio CDs I have recorded myself, on the very same computer, via iTunes.

The Superdrive on my MacBook Pro ejects audio CDs just a few seconds after inserting them. This happens both with original audio CDs I have bought in music stores AND with audio CDs I have recorded myself, on the very same computer, via iTunes. The same does NOT happen with data CDs (e.g., stuff in mp3 format), which are read just fine. This behaviour started a couple of weeks ago, until then everything had worked just fine for years. I am running iTunes 11.1 under Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Any idea?

I don't know what operating system the iPad is, but the PC uses XP

You should be able to copy it over from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, or depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) you might be able to re-download it on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page

Hello! I am new to the MacWorld and I love I tunes! but I have bought TV shows and now I am running short of storage, Can I transfer my TV shows to an external drive, or if I erase them can I download them again since I paid for them?

Hello!
I am nes to Mac computers and I love ITunes. I have bought some TV shows and I am running short of storage and I have some questions.
1) Can I transfer my TV shows to an external drive?
2) If I erase these files, can I download them again? I bought a movie I erase it to make space, but I went to the Itunes store again and it says I have to pay for it.
3) Can use ICloud to store my TV shows? and how is it done if possible?
Thank you so much!!

You can move the files to an external drive. Delete the entry from your collection but don't let iTunes delete the file. Copy the file to the external, then drag to iTunes to add it again. Hold down the option key while doing this so the file doesn't get copied to the internal again.
Alternatively use: Dougscripts: Relocates selected files to a folder of your choice - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=relocateselected - replaces "Move Files To Folder" to move files.
2) I wouldn't trust Apple or the media companies. They could decide tomorrow to not allow a second download and you'd be stuck. The media company could decide to pull an item from iTunes Store. You are the only person who can be relied upon to ensure you always have access to your media copies.

I have bought a music album, deleted it, now can't download it again?
