Old laptop is broken, and iv now lost all my purchased music

i recently had to reinstall windows on ym laptop, and when i reinstalled itunes, i connected my iphone and had to resync my iphone to the now new itunes. as a result i lost all my downloaded (and paid for i might add) songs. how can i recover all my downloaded music which i have purchased over the last few years?!
Thanks

Not to worry. Apple stores all iTunes purchased songs and more in iCloud. So in your iTunes:
1) go the "preferences"
2) under the "store" tab, check :  ' Music ', ' Apps ' , & ' Books '
3) Make sure your the itunes account your are using is the same one you used to purchase all the items from iTunes
Now iTunes should automatically Redownlaod all ur purchased items

    I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
    You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
    You can redownload all the content.

  • I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy.  Can anyone help

    I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

    Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

    It should all be on your computer in whatever program you have been syncing.

    Hello there Nihalith,
    It sounds like you are trying to download a purchased album, but not all the tracks are listed as being purchased. If you still have the receipt that was emailed to you when you bought it, you can use it to report a problem with the purchase to the iTunes Store directly with this article:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1933
    To report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase, follow these steps:
    Find the email receipt for your purchase.
    Click Report a Problem under the app that is having the issue.
    When prompted, enter the Apple ID and password you used to purchase the item, then click Report a Problem.
    Click Report a Problem next to the item you are having an issue with.
    From the Choose Problem dropdown menu, choose the appropriate issue.
    Follow the onscreen instructions and—if prompted—type a description of the problem into the text field.

  • My hard drive crashed and I have lost all of my music. How do I get it back?

    My hard drive has crashed and I have lost all of my music. Is there a way to contact the itunes people and get at least all of my purchased music back?

    If you are a resident of the U.S., have iTunes 10.3 or later, you can re download purchases for free.

  • I downloaded i tunes onto my new computer, i connected my iphone during the updating process itunes failed and i lost all my purchased music from my iphone. I would like to get it reinstated how ?

    I downloaded itunes onto my new computer, i connected my iphone during the updating process itunes failed and i lost all my purchased music from my iphone and can no longer retrieve them. I would like to know how i can reinstate the lost music please.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Lost all my purchased music after update!

    I recently purchased the software update for my iPod touch, and have now lost all of my purchased music from my iTunes. How can I get it back?

    Your music is normally stored in your iTunes library (which is how it was originally synced to your phone) and syncing with iTunes would transfer it back to your phone.  If it isn't in your iTunes library your only option is to re-import it and then sync it to your phone.  Music has never been included in the iPhone backup.  (When you restore an iCloud backup it merely redownloads your purchased music from the iTunes store.)
    ------But my music from ripped CDs and playlists are now missing from my  iTunes library on my commuter too after I upgraded/downloaded the latest iTunes version that was suggested. 11.0 I think? So if I don't have the CDs to rip again, the music is pretty much lost then huh?

  • Lost all my purchased music

    I have purchased 15-20 songs through iTunes on my iPod Touch. I connected my iPod to my computer last night to put on Sigur Ros's new album and to charge it. But when I turned it on this morning, all my purchased music had gone without trace, both from my iPod and from iTunes. All that remains are two songs that I bought last night (I bought them through the computer, not the iPod), and a random Single of the Week that I downloaded ages ago.
    I still have all the receipts of all the songs I downloaded. Is there any way to get them back?

    Try it, and also try Store menu > Check for Purchases.
    If not, go to your Purchase History and report problems with the songs individually. You can also start here:

    Hello Georgina66,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds to me like after updating the iOS on your phone, you no longer have your numbers documents and photos.
    I would next restore from the backup you created that night whether it was with iCloud or iTunes.

  • How can i deauthorise my old laptop so I only have my new macbook as my pc. My old laptop is broken and I can't use it at all by the way!

    I have brought a new macbook air and have got it operating ok. But I'd like to de-authorise my old lap top which is
    broken and can't be operated at all. How can I do this please?

    Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but if you've authorised your account on your new Macbook then you should be able to log into your account on your Mac's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then reauthorise the Mac (and any other computers that you still have and need).
