Obtain old purchased music from iTunes

I was looking at my iTunes music order history, and it goes back to about 2005. I have music that I purchased in iTunes, and for whatever reason, I don't have in my library. Is there any way to obtain that music again?

Only if you have a back up, which everyone should have at least one of.
If you fail to back up your music then you can transfer from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
From the itunes store terms of service:
"PRODUCTS CAN ONLY BE DOWNLOADED ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM,"

There is no option avalable in order to redown load these songs again.

Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you are in, whether you've changed countries since buying it, and whethet it's still in your country. What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage :
If not all of your music shows there then check to see if any is hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

I am having difficulty importing purchased music from iTunes to my new MacBook Air

What problem are you having ?
You should be able to copy your library from your old computer : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer. Or if both computers are connected to the same wifi network then you could use home sharing to copy it over. Or copy it from your backup of your downloads/library and add it via File > Add To Library.
You might also be able to redownload some/all of your past purchases via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage,or by going into iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) and ticking the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tickbox - it might then show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it for redownloading.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can use different ID's for iTunes and iCloud.
Just delete the account in settings > iCloud and create them their own account.
if the children are minors, you wiil need to create and be responsible for each account yourself.

How to transfer purchased music from iTunes

Can anyone tell me how to transfer purchased music from iTunes to my iPod without first downloading to a CD?

If you are using the latest version of iTunes (4.6), then you need to make sure your ipod software is up to date also.
When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
Get the latest updates here.
If you have done all this and still can't transfer it, post back with more info about what is happening.
EDIT.
Grrrr......must learn to type faster!

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.

Hi,
Thanks. I know how to do that, however, I thought it only works with the imported content not the purchased ones. The reason for wanting this was that I keep all my music in NAS drive for SONOS (the wireless music system) will need the music to be in NAS so that it can play music while the mac is on sleep mode.
Anyhow, I will try again and let you know if it does work.
Thanks again.
