Lost music bought from i tunes store and want them back

over the last couple of months i have paid for over 200 quids worth of music mainly a few films but iv managed to loose all the purchased items evan wiv time machine (so time machine is bollox) now when i go to download the same tracks again i have to f'in buy them again now what can i do about that...?

Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places. If your content was erased and you don't have a backup of your purchased items, and don't have them on an iPod, you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your tracks.
If you have your tracks on an iPod or have them backed up, post back and someone here can help you get them restored. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.

  • Ipod Classic 160gb transfer data software? Do Apple provide any facilities to recapture all music etc from an ipod classic and save them back into the itunes library or even better onto a separate pc memory or external drive for backup purposes?

    I now have around 3,000 songs on my ipod Classic and still adding. I didn't want to save them in itunes library so I deleted them from there once I had them on the ipod. I have since found out that the ipod music cannot be transferred back to the itunes library nor can I extract them from the ipod directly. Do apple provide such facilities or softwareto do this and, if not, is there any recommended and safe software to perform it? I see from Google that there are plenty of programs available but I want to be sure that what I use is safe, reliable and not breaking any of Apple's terms and conditions. Any advice would be welcome.

    Hello Chris Jones,
    I just found this and I'm trying to figure it out so your post is an excellent starting point, thank you! Since you posted this in Feb are there any things you would change or you found out after doing it? And how is everything running?
    As a data point, I just added a SSD as the startup drive to an older mac pro (1,1) which is only used for Logic Pro and the speed now is amazing. Now I want to see if I can off-load the same things you have dealt with. Any additional insight will be greatly appreciated and thanks again for taking to time to document it.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Dowloading from I tunes store and converting protected songs

    I have dowloaded a number of songs from the ITunes store that I want to use in another program (Microsoft Photo Story 3). Anytime I try to insert t6hese songs it tells me they are protected and cannot be used. I have tried converting them to wav files and the same things happens, it will not allow me. Any ideas?

    What is the DRM free music? How do you get this? What if you have already purchased it at the .99 level and you want to upgrade it so it is not protected. Is this possible or do you have to but the song all over again?
    I have tried burning them to a CD and then using them in my video program and it still doesn't work.
    Thanks for the help!
    P.S.: Is there a program similar to I-tunes made by apple that makes DVD slideshows that would be compatible to I-tunes on a Windows, not an apple computer?

  • Have music files from a windows PC and put them on a usb drive. how do I transfer them to the mac mini and iTunes?

    Bought a mac mini and have music files from my old windows PC on a USB drive. need to know how to transfer all the music from the USB drive to itunes so I can sync them with my new ipod.

    Choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu, double-click the icon for that drive, locate the song files, drag them to any location inside the Home entry, open iTunes, and drag them from there into it.

  • Deleted events and want them back!

    I have unintentionally deleted several photos from their events. I thought when I made albums of them, I could delete the events to save space. When I went back to the albums, they were not there. Of course, they are not in the trash because I used the delete key. I use Time machine as a backup on an external drive. Is there a way to recover these photos from either of these sources?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    Using the delete key in iPhoto does not remove the picture permenantly. It puts it in the iPhoto trash on the left hand side under "Recent". Check in this trash can first. If the desired pictures are there just highlight them and go to Photos Menu > Restore to Library to put them back.
    If the images are not in your iPhoto Library and not in the iPhoto Trash then that means you emptied the iPhoto trash. You can get them back from Time Machine.
    While in iPhoto go to File > Browse Backups.
    Use the time line on the right hand side to choose a date when the pictures were still in your library.
    Locate the picture(s) on screen and click on them to highlight them.
    Click on restore at the bottom of the screen to re-import them into iPhoto from the backup.
    Hope that helps.

  • Music bought from different iTunes stores not playing on iPod!

    Hi! (Kind of a iTunes/iPod Touch problem..)
    I've got an English account with an English bought iPod Touch 16GB. However i'm currently in Spain for a year so I created a Spanish account and bought some music from the Spanish iTunes store. Both accounts are authorised on this computer, and the songs I bought in Spain play on my computer fine, however they do not play on my iPod, there is just so sound (and the sound is on 'max') but the english bought/transferred songs play just fine.
    Any ideas?!
    Thanks everyone!

    It may be an authorization issue. Both iTunes and the iPod need to be up-to-date.
    Usually, you need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS within iTunes to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
    How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
    iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
    If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
    Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
    If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.4), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
    When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
    If the above 'standard' fixes did not help, then it's a bigger problem that I can diagnose...

  • HT2688 How can I take music albums from my ipad 3 and put them on to my laptop for free????

    I have recently purchased a second hand iPad 3. The previous owner left loads of music on there that he purchased from iTunes. How can I get this music from the iPad on to my laptop to free some space up on my iPad for some different apps.   Can someone please help???

    The picture sync is ONE-WAY -  computer to iphone.  Iphone is not a storage device or a backup device.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put the pics back.
    When you sync pics from your computer to your iphone they are reduced in resolution.  They will never be of the original resolution, but you can e-mail them to yourself.
