ITunes downloaded songs it said I already purchased

So I just downloaded the new St. Lucia album, and next to 5 songs that I already bought as singles or other EPs, said "Purchaced" so I did "complete my album" however, out of those 5 songs, iTunes decided to redownload 3 of them, even though it said I already purchased them. Anyone else have this problem or a solution? I emailed the tech support to see if I can get reimbursed but I wanted to see if anyone else had an answer. Thanks!!

For Messages they will each need their own iCloud accounts. You should also enable Restrictions in Settings > General > Restrictions and disable auto-download on the other devices.

Either redownload them directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
or sync them to your iPod via iTunes
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod

I have been charged $22 for some songs that I had already purchased a long time ago.

I was charged again for songs that I had already purchased, how can I get this removed?

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

Going on what other people have posted your purchases will disappear off the Purchased links for redownloading (they won't be removed from your iTunes library or iOS devices), but as long as you have all your downloads on your backup of your library then that shouldn't be a problem - you won't be able to redownload anything from the Australian store unless you return to Australia anyway.

HT201272 I pre-ordered a book. Will not download. When I follow the instructions and click download is states you have already purchased. Any ideas??

P re-ordered a book from the app store. notified to download. When I follow the steps to download it states you have already purchased. Any ideas??

Does it show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone, and/or the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes ?

I bought an app and when I try to download it says I have already purchased and It will be downloaded with no charge

I bought a app on the App Store and when I try to download it says "you have already purchased this all, it will download now with no additional charge"

I had same problem. All that was next to app was the cloud icon (ie.not 'open') and kept getting same message when trying to download. I found this fix on another discussion that worked wonderfully for me. The guy who found this deserves credit:
1) Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store
2) Click on your account ID in the upper left-hand side of the window and select account from the drop-down
3) You may have to enter your password, but will then be shown the Account Information screen
4) Look at the top of this screen for a section indicating you have a pending download and click download
5) Either install via sync or on your device itself
I just re-clicked on the cloud in the app-store on the device and it finally worked! It must have been in some sort of app-limbo.

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

after perusing other subjects with playback issues:
this is the fix:
-Launch Control Panel - Double click Quicktime, If you do not see quicktime, look on the top left side of control panel and switch to classic view. This will then allow you to see Quicktime.
-Now click the advanced tab and click on Safe Mode GDI Only, Apply, then ok.

Problems with iTunes downloading songs to computer

Problems with iTunes downloading songs to computer. I hook up my iPhone as well as my Ipod and it does not download the new content on my computer.

with that one we'd better check on these possibilities:
You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows
these resources might be helpful with that:

ITunes is not recognizing my new computer and not allowing me to download my music that I already purchased even though it recognizes my registered iPod.

I got a new computer and downloaded iTunes. When I tried to download music that I already purchased I got a message that my computer was not authorized although my iPod was plugged in and it was recognized. I don't see anywhere that I can register my new computer. Can someone help me?

- You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
- Have you tried everthing here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You should
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Your library/media will not be affected.
- Does the iPod charge?

ITunes no longer recognizes I have already purchased apps!

First, I use Unix. I am VERY unhappy that Apple forces me to either have a Windows or MAC installation to sync iPhone. After getting my iPhone the way I wanted it, I dumped Windows completely, not realizing that I was thus deleting my iTunes app and music library. I wasn't worried because I believed that Apple was somehow remembering my purchases as I was used to seeing the message "you have already purchased that app".
Well, I upgraded to OS 4, but it locked up and would not communicate with the Store (apparently because I was running a virtualized Windows under Linux), and this resulted in me having to reinstall Windows vista and iTunes on a partition of my Unix system. After hours to get that up and running, I was able to complete the OS 4 install on my iPhone 3GS ONLY after reseting it completely, thus lossing ALL my apps and data!
I am not a happy campper. Now iTunes does not seem to know I have previously purchased $100 of dollars of apps and music, and I have NOTHING on my iPhone.
Calling support I was disconnected, and they did not call me back! I was told I had to "chat" for support, but was unable to get the link before being disconnected, and all I want to know is how I can get the apps I have paidd for and get them back on my iPhone without having to get billed for them again!
Any suggestions? I'm so mad I'm about ready to trash my iPhone and NEVER buy Apple again.

1) Log into the iTunes Store, making sure you are using the account under which you purchased the apps. Confirm by going into your account information and looking at your Purchase History. If your apps aren't shown there, you probably aren't using the correct account.
2) Go through the process of buying the app. When you click "buy", iTunes should inform you that you've already purchased the app and offer to let you download it again for free.
3) Repeat for each app.
4) Make a backup of the apps so that if you erase your hard drive again you have a backup copy.
Note that the iTunes Store has no telephone support. If you need to contact them, use the form on their Support page. Select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find an "Email Us" button.
Regards.

How to download a movie that is already purchased but somehow missing from library? This is really frustrating.

Title tells it all, really frustrating. Forget about download icons, I cannot locate the movie I already purchased. If I goto iTunes store, it is trying to RESELL the movie I already purchased..

Hello maxheap,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Make sure your signed into the correct Apple ID. If not it will not show up as an item to download.
Best of luck,
Mario
