Is it possible to get a copy of all purchased music from itunes?

Hi, My copy of itunes reinstalled itself, so all of my purchased music is now only in the music file. From multiple imports, there are two, three or four copies of most songs in the itunes music library, except for the purchased music, which is only in the Windows music folder. Thought I would delete everything and start over. It would be easier than fixing this mess. I am wondering if it is possible to get a complete purchase history from itunes so that I can save all purchased music before I purge this mess out of my system? Music is taking up 60Gb when it should only be about 15 Gb. Any help would be appreciated.

You can list your purchase history in your iTunes store account.
Also you should have a purchased music playlist.
The other way of doing it is use the "Kind" column. If you don't see it, go to View>>Options and check "Kind"
Purchased music shows up as "Protected AAC" or for iTunes Plus, "Purchased AAC". You can use Kind to make a smart playlist containing purchased music - if you don't have already have a purchased playlist.
But be very careful about deleting music files and make sure you have good backups in case you make a mistake. Don't rely on the recycle bin - it doesn't usually have room for large numbers of music files.

Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account is not valid in the US store"

Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account is not valid in the US store" As I am new at this I don't know what I can do to remove this problem.

What country are you in ? If you aren't in the US and the address on your account isn't in the US then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select your country.

Can't copy purchased music from iTunes to iPod(logged into a Windows domain

I'm running iTunes on Windows XP. I've been using it to manage my music including purchasing music for iTunes.The laptop I'm using I also use it for work and log into a work Domain. I recently purchased an iPod (video) and attempted to transfer music via iTunes. When I manually try to transfer purchased songs only iTunes closes. I can transfer songs that have been imported into the library via CD. I receive a message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience." My user login has administrator rights to the PC (where iTunes is installed). All my music files are kept on an external hard drive. I've called Apple support and reinstalled the software several times with the same results. I did create a new user that logs in to
the PC (not the work Domain), that can somehow transfer the music to the iPod. But I can not see any folders, playlists, or purchased music that was established when logged on the work Domain. That solution isn't sufficient because I can't normally create different users
and run iTunes (and other products) this way.
Anyone encounter this problem? Any suggestions?

This sounds like an interesting snag - clearly if you can get copied CD tracks onto the iPod there isn't an issue PC to iPod.
I wonder if the inability to copy downloaded music is related to the very clever stuff Apple do to prevent you writing more than seven copies of those tracks? Just a thought - I have no idea how it all works, but it occurs to me it could get embroiled in network stuff?? If you are friendly with your administrator ask them if you can have a go at connecting your iPod to a computer with admin rights, and see if you get a more helpful error message.

Hi was wondering how i get back all my purchased music from itunes. i plugged my phone in to my computer and it syned all my old purchased music from my ipod list and not all my new purchased music is gone.

I am having trouble getting back all my purchased music from itunes

Does music show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes for redownloading ? Whether music will show there will depend upon what country that you are in - and even if music does show it will also depend upon whether it's still in your country's store.
If you aren't in a country where you can redownload music and you don't have copies of it anywhere, then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Not getting all my music from iTunes I might have too much stored like ebooks how do I delete

I have a iPod touch but have noticed I am not getting new music I purchased from iTunes onto my touch. Not sure if I have too much other things like books etc using storage, how can I correct this

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

My old computer broke and I lost all my music. I have now purchased a new computer and downloaded all my music again through the store but can not figure how to download my ringtones again. How do you download your ringtones again without buying them again??? Thankyou in advance

You cannot redownload ringtones.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Have you failed to do this?

Hello mvanderkooi
You would have to wait the 90 days is up before associating it again with that computer. The article below will explain about link your Apple ID with iTunes and devices.

This will happen if you have photos in your camera roll and an out-of-date scanner or webcam driver. See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502

How do i get all my music from iTunes from cloud on my mac permanently?

how do i get my itunes account on my macbook so that i do have use iclouds for any thing?

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t use iCloud. There's an iCloud Support Community where everybody uses iCloud. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac

Accidentally purchased music from iTunes Store. Can I get my money back?

Thinking I was buying a song by the All-American Rejects on the Top 100 list on iTunes, I ended up pressing the "Buy Song" buttong below it. So instead of getting the song I wanted, I instead purchased "You Found Me" by the Fray. A song I hate. I tried to cancel the downloading to see if that would work, but all it did was pause my purchase.
Is there any way I can not buy that song and get my money back?

There's no way to cancel an item once it's been queued. Contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form at the bottom of the Purchase Issues FAQ web page and explain the problem to them. Perhaps there's something they can do for you.
For the future, I'd suggest that you set the preference to Buy Using Shopping Cart (in the Store preferences in iTunes). That will help eliminate such inadvertent purchases.
Regards.

Some of my recently purchased music (from iTunes) is not showing up in my iTunes library. It should be on the cloud, no? How can I get it onto my computer?

I recently had to wipe my macbook, and when I brought all my content back from my external hard drive, my itunes library wasn't up to date. I hadn't backed up my computer in a few months, and a lot of music I purchased in the last few months didn't show up in my itunes library. I went to the itunes store "Purchased" and re-uploaded my recent purchases, but it still didn't put all of my music on my laptop. I know my most recent music purchases must be on the icloud, but why aren't they uploading to my library, and how can I get that music back (that I paid for)?

Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
