On your iPod Touch, open the iTunes app. There should be tab named "purchased", which shows all your purchase history. Choose the "Not on this iPod" tab and you'll get a list of purchased products that are not on your device. Hope this helped.

  • All of my purchased ringtones and songs dissapeared out of the blue. How do I get them back without having to buy them all over again?

    Out of the blue, all of my purchased ringtones and music aren't displayed anymore on my iPhone.
    I went to iTunes to see if they were stored there, but the downloads folder also appears to be empty. If I try to select a ringtone I've downloaded before, a popup appears saying that I've already purchased that item and asking if I want to cancel or buy. If I click on buy, then I pay for the item again even if I already have it! The only place I can still see my purchased items is in the iTunes application on my computer, but even though I've already selected sync, the ringtones and songs still won't appear on my iPhone.
    What happeneded and how can I get them back without having to pay for them all over again?
    Thank you!

    I'm having the same problem on an iphone 4s running iOS8; when i updated to iOS8, all my ringtones went missing, and when i got a £50 gift card for christmas (2014), I purchased some songs from the iTunes store on my iPhone. i downloaded songs from paramore, panic! at the disco, coldplay, and imagine dragons, over wi-fi, and they went into my iphone music library; but when i re-opened the music app a few days later, in a place where i had no wi-fi, except for my 3G phone signal, some cloud icons appeared next to my newly purchased songs, telling me to re-download them from the cloud, when i haven't even deleted them. this has happened twice now, and i had to use up some of my 5GB data allowance to redownload them from the cloud. This is annoying and i need to fix this issue ASAP.

  • HT1727 i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

  • Songs bought on iPhone deleted during sync. How do I get them back without having to purchase them again?

    I recently got around to syncing my iPhone 4S with my laptop - hadn't done it for a while. For some reason it seems that the sync wiped the songs I had been purchasing over a few months via the iPhone on iTunes music store - and now they can't be found anywhere! Neither on the phone nor the laptop.
    have any of you experienced this and how did you get your tunes back???

    Hi Ian
    Thanks for the tip. Tried that - but seems not to work on the Danish iTunes store. Something to do with rights, I think. But will try again. Any other ideas?

  • Songs I imported from cds are no longer in my iTunes account.  How can I get them back without having to reload them on?

    There are 158 songs that were once in my iTunes that are now missing.  I put all of them on from cds.  The only songs that are left are ones that i have purchased.  When i pulg my ipod into my computer to add recent songs that i have bought it tells me that i need to erase and sync my ipod with my itunes library or cancel.  Well i dont want to erase my ipod and sync it with my itunes because that is 158 less songs that would be on there.  On the apple website it said that songs from cds are in the itunes media folder but when i went there it is still just my purchased songs.  I dont know what to do except reload all of them back on there but i really dont want to since im not the one who took them off!!  Im not entirely sure when the songs went away but i recently updated to itunes 10.4 (i think its .4) and im not sure if that is why they are gone. Thank you in advance to any help!!

  • Lost audiobooks that have been purchased are gone and iTunes is saying that I have to repurchase them. I have all of the receipts, how can I get them back without having to pay another hundred dollars?

    ITunes is saying that the only way to get back all seven of my audiobooks are to repurchase them, however that is going to be about a hundred dollars to repurchase them all and I don't have that kind of money right now. Why are they making me do this and why the **** did they delete them in the first place, because I know I didn't delete them. I am on a MacBook Pro OS X version 10.9.5, processor 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, memory 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3.

    HI ..
    You're sure you signed into iTunes using the same Apple ID used for the purchases?
    You can re dowload past purchases for free >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I foolishly removed the firefox toolbar ( meaning I have no file,view, edit, bookmark, or any other kind of tab including the search box or even a address bar). How can I get them back without reinstalling firefox please?

    Hi, I wanted more room to view on the web, so I thought I'd get rid of some of the toolbars that were taking up space. I went to the edit tab (i think) and then selected toolbars and then just unticked the ones I wanted to lose.Worked like a charm...
    Only problem was that I unticked the wrong one. Now I can't search on the web or enter a url as there is nothing there anymore. Any I do mean NOTHING expect my roboform toolbar and the "Getting Started" Firefox tab just above that.
    Reason I stressed the "nothing" is because I went on yahoo answers and someone just said...go to edit and...He obviously didn't get that I don't have any kind of firefox tabs left on my browser ( except for the "getting started" tab)
    I don't want to uninstall and reinstall as I'm worried I'll lose my bookmarked pages.
    Would be really grateful if you could advise me of an alternative solution to getting my tabs, search bar and address bar back please?
    Many thanks
    Paul
    ps as I don't have any tabs I can't tell you which version I have installed, but your clever software looks like it's got it right.

    Try this: press F10 or tap the Alt key to display the menu bar temporarily, then
    View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
    If that doesn't work, you could reset your toolbars to factory default using Firefox's Safe Mode. First, make a backup of your computer for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
    Next, start Firefox in Firefox
    [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode], and check only the box to reset toolbars. Be careful not to "reset" anything else if you didn't back up.
    Hope this helps.

    Delete the problem song(s) from library including file(s). Then go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Select Music tab to re-download again for free.

  • Just downloaded Maverick and lost the apps I purchased - Notes and Bejeweled 3.  How do I get them back without repurchasing?

    I just dowloaded Maverick and lost the Apps I purchased:  Notes and Bejeweled 3.  How do I get them back without paying for them again?

    Thanks so much for being out there for me - someone I can talk to.  I went to purchases and unfortunately it is no longer there. I dowloaded the Notes App again for free.  I will just buy Bejeweled again.    I guess the price of downloading maverick was losing my beloved video game.  But you have put my mind at ease - I appreciate knowing I did all I could do to recover it.

    Where is the backup of the media and other important files from the computer?  Ultimately, it is the users responsibility to ensure that backups exists. Waiting until there is a problem to decide to do a backup is not smart.  Would you wait until a fire started in your home to call the insurance company and inquire about homeowners/renters insurance????
    In the event that no backup exists (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files):
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
    If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content.  They are not required to provide this opportunity.
    It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes.  On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
    The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.  Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

  • My iphone recently crashed and i had music i had purchased from itunes that i hadnt yet synced to my puter, how can i get it back without having to buy it again???

    My iphone has recently crashed & i had music from itunes i had not yet synced to my computer how do i get it back without having to buy it again, im in Australia so do not yet have icloud

    Unfortunately you can't.  You could try contacting Apple and asking nicely, but they're under no obligation to help you.  If you can wait until fall*, when iCloud is officially launched alongside iOS 5, you can probably download them all again then.
    The small print at the bottom of http://www.apple.com/au/icloud/ says "some music features of iCloud are available in beta now in the U.S. only"
    I can't find anything which guarantees it will work outside the US after the beta, but it probably will.  iTunes Match is definitely US only, for a couple of years at least until the legal stuff is dealt with.

  • I paid for a ringtone and had to restore my phone and now I don't have the ringtone. How can I get that back without having to pay for it again?

    I had to restore my phone and before I did it I bought a ringtone and now I do not have that ringtone. How do I get that back without having to repay for it?

    Call iTunes support and see if they will re-grant it back to you. Shouldn't be a problem, they have done it for quite a few people I know.
