Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

I have at least $20.00 on my Itunes card account and would like to apply it to purchase an album from your store.How do I do that?

                   Dear Sirs,
                            I have at least $20 on my iTunes account and would like to apply it towards a purchase of an album. How do I do this? Any
                  information you can give me will be most helpful. Thank, Shaun Moll

Hello Shaunrmoll,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities. The following resource provides more information about iTunes Gift Card balance:
How to manage unused iTunes Gift Card and Gift Certificate balances
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5035
Once you've successfully redeemed your card or certificate, the credit amount will appear in your iTunes Store account. Each time you purchase content, iTunes will deduct funds from the credit until it's depleted. You do not need to re-enter your gift card or certificate number to make multiple purchases.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I am sharing a account with my mother. I would like to change my itune account to a separate account. How can I do that without affecting her itune account?

I share a itune account with my mother. I would like to set up my own itune account keeping all my info and library from my itune account. How do I go about setting up my own account without affecting her account and her itunes? It seems if she gets a new app it appears on my phone and visa versa. After I change my account will there be a problem syncing it with my phone and ipad?

Welcome to the Apple community.
The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

I would like to purchase a song for a friend in the uk how do i do that. I live in Canada.

I really would like to get this song by Dani and Lizzy for my friend to use at her husband funeral service next week.

Unfortunately you won't be able to - songs (and other content) can only be gifted to people who are in the same country as yourself and whose account is also based in that country, so you can only gift to fellow Canadian account holders.

You may have to consider, if possible, a visit to an Apple Store with Genius
bar. Usually it's best to try & set an appointment. If you know an actual Store
you may call and ask if they can help you set a time to discuss this issue so
as to save you some trouble with using the online Genius bar scheduling.

The iPod Touch you have may not accept the latest iOS8.x system, so if you
have older marginal Apps, they would not work and may not have equal or
similar replacements under the latest iOS version. iOS7 may not be available
and if you should upgrade to iOS8, you probably won't be able to revert back.
After looking around Support online, I do not see a method of restoring Safari
but your device may have one built-in to it; perhaps part of a reset process.
I am not certain... There are some items you may have to attach the Touch to
a computer and use it to see about updates or replacement software.
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
To ask a knowledgeable product specialist, and have the iPod Touch model
and serial number handy, may be the best way to go. Expect that with any
upgrade to a newer iOS system software, old apps won't work and new ones
that could be available, may not look, feel or act in the same way as old ones.
Good luck & happy computing!

I am currently using Firefox 3.6.27. I would like to update, but not to "the latest and greatest." How can I view a list of all the versions of Firefox which are still available, choose the one that I want, and download it?

Not applicable.

The only versions you update to are 3.6.28 (which will be dropped from support in a few weeks) or Firefox 11. I'd recommend either 11, or at least start planning for it. Is there a specific reason you don't want to upgrade to 11, I can try to help.

I have a second Apple ID and would like to change my ICloud to the same email address. How do I do that?

I have an iPad 2 and just updated to IOS 8. My optimum app will no longer work and I cannot update it for some reason.

If your Mac has got Mini DisplayPort, purchase a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. You won't have to change any setting, and image will show on your TV after connecting it to your MacBook Pro. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
