Missing purchased content - do not want to duplicate purchase

I have always used a partition on my hard drive to keep my iTunes media. I have always made sure that my library points to an iTunes folder on my e:\ drive. Yesterday, I did a complete restore of my OS and reinstalled iTunes, pointing the library to my partition which is unaffected by my OS restoration process.
Today, I have an entire season of a TV program missing. My question is:
1. How did this happen? I'm assuming it's gone, since downloads are placed locally in the \users directory. Is there a way to force the program to download purchased content into a specified file?
2. More importantly, since this purchase is gone, I'd like to avoid a duplicate purchase by hitting the "buy" button. It won't tell you that you're being charged or not until it's too late. How do I go about obtaining this one season of a TV program without having to purchase it again?
Thanks for your help and advice.

Copy does exactly what the word "copy" implies.
If you properly specify a destination folder, then the copy should go in the destination folder.

How to avoid the duplicate values, I do not want the duplicate............

i have one database table called "sms1" that table is updated every day or on daily basis it has the following fields in it:
SQL> desc sms1;
Name Null? Type
MOBILE NUMBER
RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER VARCHAR2(39 CHAR)
SNO NUMBER
INDATE DATE
From this table the is one column "RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER VARCHAR2(39 CHAR)" . I am splitting it into different columns like :
SQL> desc smssplit;
Name Null? Type
R VARCHAR2(2 CHAR)
C VARCHAR2(2 CHAR)
S VARCHAR2(1 CHAR)
TC VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
TC2 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA2 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
TC3 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA3 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
TC4 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA4 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
WTHER VARCHAR2(10 CHAR)
SNO NUMBER
INSERTDATA VARCHAR2(25 CHAR)
Now I am written a procedure to insert the data from "Sms1" table to smssplit table...
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SPLITSMS
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO scott.SMSSPLIT ( R,C,S,TC,NA,TC2,NA2,TC3,NA3,TC4,NA4,WTHER,SNO)
SELECT SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,1,2) R,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,3,2) C,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,5,1) S,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,6,3) TC,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,9,3) NA,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,12,3) TC2,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,15,3) NA2,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,18,3) TC3,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,21,3) NA3,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,24,3) TC4,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,27,3) NA4,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,30,10) WTHER, SNO
FROM scott.SMS1 where SNO=(select MAX (sno) from SMS1);
END;
Now in order to update the second table with data from first table on regular basis I have written a job scheduler and I am using oracle 9.0. version...
DECLARE
X NUMBER;
JobNumber NUMBER;
BEGIN
SYS.DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT
job => X
,what => 'scott.SPLITSMS;'
,next_date => SYSDATE+1/1440
,interval => 'SYSDATE+1/1440 '
,no_parse => FALSE
:JobNumber := to_char(X);
END;
Now this job scheduler is working properly and updating the data for every one minute but it is taking or updating the duplicate values also ..like example:
R C S TC NA TC2 NA2 TC3 NA3 TC4 NA4 WTHER SNO

How can I get a refund for an in app purchase I did not want?

How can I get a refund for an in app purchase I did not want?
The app took over $35 from my account and there is no way this was authorized. Please advise on how I can recover these funds.

They did the same thing to me on 12/24/11. Apple overcharged me 3 times my purchase amount and have caused my bank account to be overdrawn!
I called my bank to make a statement of unauthorized charges AND filed a complaint with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). Apple provided no way to contact a live rep and the email reps have been useless...so they left me no other option.
I think they do this to their customers very often. It is extremely dishonest.
I actually posted the above info on this discussion community earlier today...and Apple deleted it! If that isn't an admission of guilt, I don't know what is.
But seriously...best of luck.

Assuming you were not buying a gift for someone else - gifts cannot be purchased using a credit balance - another user in the forums posted this as the reply from the iTunes Store when this issue was brought up. Perhaps it will help you. If problems persist, contact the iTunes Store:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
Regards.
I'm sorry you weren't able to make a purchase using your store credit. To purchase items on the iTunes Store with your store credit, your account information in your user profile needs to be corrected. I'll walk you through this process to get you back up and running in no time.
1) Visit the My Apple ID website at: http://appleid.apple.com
2) If the site is not displayed in your preferred language, click the Change Language link in the upper-right corner, type the name of your language in the field that appears, then click the Save button.
3) Click the "Manage your account" link.
4) Type your iTunes Store account name (which is your Apple ID) in the Apple ID field, type your password in the password field, then click the Sign In button.
5) Click "Addresses" in the column on the left. If you have multiple shipping addresses, remove any out-of-date or duplicate addresses by clicking Delete. Also, make sure the state or province field is filled out correctly for each address. To edit an address, click Edit. Edit all of your shipping addresses and make sure the appropriate state is selected in the State drop-down menus.
6) Now click "Phone Numbers" on the left. The area codes should be in the area code fields and the phone numbers should be in the phone number fields. If an area code is missing, or if it is in a phone number field, your account information may not save properly.
7) Make any other necessary corrections, then click the Save Changes button.
8) Click Log out in the upper-right corner. When you make your next purchase on the iTunes Store, you will be asked to review your billing information. At this point, you can change your information or simply click Done at the bottom of the screen to proceed. Once you click Done, you should be able to purchase on the iTunes Store using your store credit.

Purchased content is not showing up in iTunes.

My purchased content (TV Series and ebook) are not showin gup in iTunes. The record of my purchases is correct when I go to accounts. According to an earlier post there should be an option under accounts to hide or not hide but this does not show up for me. I have an Australian account - perhps this makes a difference.
Apps purchased all seem fine.

This allows the tv series to show up under TV Shows:

But still nothing shows up under purchased.
Also it seems that books have moved to ibooks.
Would love to know what is going on.

Hello Pengincrafty,

How do I get back lost apps that we're purchased ($50) but not showing up as purchased after IOS6

I did the latest update and lost all my apps. It was not synced before the restore. How can I get my apps back that I paid a lot of money for? They are not showing up as purchased. When I go to the apps I know I purchased it does not show that it was purchased or installed ? Can I get those previously purchased back without paying for them again?

As long as there is not another instance of that app on the device, you should. Just keep in mind, that as apps require updating, you'll have to sign in with different id's to update. Depending on how many apps and overall content is installed on your device, this could become confusing.

HT201322 try to unhide my purchase, but can not find "View Hidden Purchases"

I hid one of my music album purchases by an accident. now i wanna unhide it, so that i can import the album to my ipod.
i did some research, and find this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919i .

To unhide your purchases
Open iTunes on your computer. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
If you're not already signed in, choose Store > Sign in. If you're signed in, skip to step 4.
Enter your Apple ID and password, then click the Sign In button.
Choose Store > View My Account. (You may be asked to enter your password again).
Click on View Hidden Purchases from your Account Information page.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, TV shows, Apps, or Books from the top.
Click the Unhide button next to the item you would like to restore.
Note: If the item you are unhiding is not already downloaded on your computer locally, it will begin downloading automatically.

Purchase Order price not pulled through from Purchase Requisition.

Hi:
The Valuation Price on my Purchase Requisition does not pull through to the Purchase Order.
All the settings on "OMET" and my user profile seems to be set but still I get an error - No conditions determined (no authorization for input)
when I enter a tax code on the PO.
All my other authorizations are also okay.
What can the problem be.
Thanks.
W.

Maybe you should explain all steps YOU have done, instead of saying "yes I have done that", As this function works for many many companies without any problem, it is either an issue with your enties, or it is a bug in the programs.
For a bug, you should search OSS notes and open a message to SAP if you cant find one that solves your issue.
the authorization part of this message relates to the functional authorization, and cannot be seen in SU53.
The error is issued in these 4 cases:
   IF t160d-erfin EQ space AND ekpo-repos NE space.
      MESSAGE e235.
IF t160d-eprsz EQ space AND ekpo-repos NE space.
      MESSAGE e235.
IF ekpo-netpr EQ 0 AND ekpo-repos NE space.
and
    IF t160d-erfin EQ space.
      MESSAGE e235.
   IF ekpo-netpr EQ 0 AND ekpo-repos NE space.
and
    IF t160d-eprsz EQ space.
      MESSAGE e235.
so you only need to provide the values of following fields:
T160d-ERFIN
T160D-EPRSZ
EKPO-REPOS
EKPO-NETPR

Music purchased from iTunes not showing up on Purchased playlist on iPhone

The last few song purchases that I've made on iTunes are not showing on my Purchased playlist on my iPhone. I do have Automatica Downloads turned on under the iTunes & App Stores settings on my iPhone. I've tried signing out and signing in again on both my iPhone and computer. I've also tried manually dragging the songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone through iTunes, but I'm when I click and drag the files from iTunes to the devices list, iTunes does not allow the songs to be moved to my iPhone. Any suggestions?

I had the same issue. Try this: go into iTunes, select your iPhone, go to Ringtones tab, check the Sync seclected Ringtones, deselect the ringtones that you pruchansed from iTunes Store. Now Apply/Sync the phone. When it's done, Go back to the Ringtones tab and select Sync all Ringtones. Apply/Sync the phone again. Now go to a contact and set a ringtone, you should see all the purchased ringtones. Good luck.

Album marked as "purchased" but does not appear in my purchased list

I am trying to re-download an album I bought about eight months ago, because somehow all but a few of the songs from that album were lost. It does not appear in my purchased music list, on my iPhone or iTunes on my PC, in fact none of the album, whether it is whatever remaining on my drive or not, appears. However, if I search for the album, in this case Trio Mediaeval's Folk Songs, the button used to purchase the album is greyed out and says "Purchased." It does not give me the option to download the songs though. How can I remedy this? Thanks.

Is the layer that you brought over the top layer in the stack of layers in the layers palette?

Purchased content is not in iTunes

I purchased an audio book on my iPhone, it was working, I was listening to it for a while. I plugged my phone into my computer to charge/sync it, and now the audiobook is no where to be found--not iTunes on iPhone, iPad, or computer; not even in the Cloud. The only place I have a record of it is in my Purchase History on Account Information. How do I get this audiobook back?

I've just had the same problem and it was difficult. The audiobook/album/song may not appear under Purchased in the Side Bar because it has been deleted. If you go into the iTunes Store there is no obvious way to download it. Perhaps the easiest way is to click on the iTunes Store on the Side Bar, sign into the iTunes store, look to the right (if necessary click on the little Home button on the black bar) and under Quicklinks click on Purchased, make sure you are looking at Not in My Library and click on the audiobook/album/song to download them again. Then once they are downloaded find the individual item and drag it into Purchased in the Side Bar if they don't appear there automatically. You might or might not have to go into iTunes Preferences/Store and click the button for "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases." I certainly have that clicked. Alternatively sign into the iTunes Store on another computer, download the item and use a USB stick to take it back to your own computer and add it to iTunes.

Why is Music I have not purchased and do not want loading to my iPad mini from iCloud?

Why is Music that I have never purchased and have no knowledge of, appearing on my iPad mini in iTunes and marked as being in iCloud?

Thanks for reply. My Apple ID is long established and not shared by anyone - not with my knowledge anyway!
