Pre-Ordering and album with already-released single

I'm wondering if I pre-order an album, do I get the already released single right away?
I've noticed times where I've downloaded the single, then purchased the album after release without the "complete my album" option.  It seems sometimes the singles are flagged as their own album, or can't complete a deluxe edition, etc.
I'd hate to have to pay for a single song twice.  Any insight from regular iTunes users?
Thanks!

  • I pre ordered and album and an early release song was added to my music. However it says complete pre order and if i click that it says "Already Purchased". None of the other songs on the album will downloaded onto my music either. Help

    I preo ordered the album "Lost Isles" by Oceans Ate Alaska and the first early realease song, "Floorboards" Was instantly downloaded into my music library. However, today, a new song was released early called "Blood Brothers". It hasn't been downloaded into my music library and will let me purchase it for 99p. The album also says next to it "Complete Pre Order" but if I click that it just says "Album already purchased". Please tell me how to get the album without having to individually buy each track when they are released, costing me at least another £7. :/

    Hi OverratedBacon,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would first try downloading the songs from your past purchases by following the appropriate steps here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    If you're still unable to receive your preorder, you may want to report this to the iTunes Store:

  • I pre-ordered and album, it took my money and now the date has come and is asking for the same amount but i dont have it because it already took it... what can i do? or am i just already screwed

    i have no clue what to do, i'm thinking i just totally got screwed over with these products again. but i waited so long for this album and not i cant get it. so i'm a little angry. i just would really like to know if i could do anything.. at all. and i physically have a song from the album i bought a long time ago but that doesnt even show in my purchase history...

    Check your purchase and bank/credit card history. I preordered the Rival Sons' Great Western Valkyrie a couple of months ago and was charged for three individual songs at £0.79 each as they were released one-by-one and then the balance of £5.62 when the album was finally published last week. You should not have been charged twice.

  • HT203200 I have pre-ordered 2 albums, but iTunes won't let me download them. How do I download them?

    I have recently pre-ordered 2 albums with 3 gift cards i recieved for christmas. iTunes is not letting me download my 2 albums. I would like to have them in my library since they are already out and purchased.

    I tried cancelling the pre-order, and now iTunes thinks I've purchased the entire album, but only one song is available to download. What the heck is going on?!

  • I recently pre ordered an album and it was released today but it says I have to pay even though I already have

    I pre ordered an album maybe a month ago, and it just came out today. They released some of the songs before hand and I have all 5 of those on my phone. But today when the whole album was released it didn't download to my phone. I went and checked the ITunes store and it said i never bought it even though it did. HELP ME!!

    Yeah it happened I me too! I thought that I was the only one. I need the 5sos album like now 

  • HT5714 Will I be charged extra for pre-ordering an album that has already released a few songs?

    I pre-ordered an album for $18, and the album already had a few songs released on it. It seems that I received these songs instantly, but I also paid for them separately, which as most know, is more expensive than buying a full album. Does this mean that an additional $18 will be deducted from my account even though I've already paid for those separate few songs, and will I be charged for each song that releases up till the release date of the album? 
    I just thought I was paying $18, but now it looks like I'm paying more.
    Thanks for your help!

    It's so funny you mentioned this, I'm currently having the same problem with the same album. I actually just finished sending iTunes an email about it (supposed to get back to me within 24 hours) and then found this article. I would suggest you do the same, but if you don't I'll try to remember to post back what I hear from them. I've always had great support for the odd thing that didn't work properly (like a glitch in a TV show or something) so I'm sure they'll clear this up without a problem. I asked the same thing too though, about what price I actually get charged, so hopefully I'll also get a response to that too. But yes, according to most pre-order rules in other stores, it should be the price we pre-ordered it for. Oh and yes I've checked for available downloads from the iTunes Store menu, but it just told me everything has been downloaded already. I double-checked my library to be sure it hadn't downloaded in the background but it was definitely not there. It has not downloaded yet.

  • Pre-ordered an album on the wrong account, single already purchased.

    My sister and I were using the same Apple ID and I had recently pre-ordered an album. Today I decided to seperate our accounts and cancelled the pre-order however the single from the album was already purchased and downloaded. Is it possible not to be charged twice for the same song when I pre-order the album on my new account?

    No, sorry viamorone. Purchases are tied directly to the Apple ID they are purchased under.

  • Hi. I pre ordered an album from iTunes using my iPhone 4S. Once released I received an email with a download link. I followed the link which took me to the store. On the store the album

    Hi. I pre ordered an album from iTunes using my iPhone 4S. Once released I received an email with a download link. I followed the link from the email which took me to iTunes Store. There I found the album & all tracks shown as purchased but with no apparent way of downloading. When I check for items to download, it isn't there. When I check purchased items purchased, it isn't there either. It only appears when I tap the album cover from the front page & then only as purchased.

    Hello 28mexiworth
    Check your Music app to see if it already downloaded. You can also check iTunes on your computer to Check for a available downloads. If you are still not able to get it, then report the issue to iTunes.

    Pre-order items from the iTunes Store
    If an item isn’t yet available, you may be able to pre-order and then download it when it becomes available.
    Pre-order an item: Click the Pre-order button next to the item. When the item is available for download, you receive an email notice. You aren’t charged for the item until you download it.
    Download a pre-ordered item: Click the link in the email notice or open iTunes and choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    View, cancel, or see the expected release dates for pending pre-orders: Choose Store > View My Apple ID, and click Manage Pre-orders.
    When you pre-order an item, you may not be able to download it at the exact moment it becomes available for regular purchase. You’ll receive an email the same day it becomes available to let you know when you can download the item.
    Some albums or collections you can pre-order include a song that’s available to download immediately. When you pre-order these items, the available song is downloaded and you’re charged only for that song. When you download the rest of the album (after you’re notified it’s available), you’re charged for the rest.

  • I pre-ordered an album, but a song was released after I pre-ordered it and it says purchased, but I can't download it.

    About a week ago,I pre-ordered Prism by Katy Perry on my IPod  and she had already released Roar and Dark Horse, which downloaded. But yesterday at midnight, Walking on Air. And this morning I tried to download it, it said purchased, but I couldn't download it.
    Has anyone else had a similar problem? Please let me know if you have a solution.

  • HT201272 I pre-ordered an album, but only 2 of the songs from that album are showing up to download. What do I need to do to get the rest of the album that I already bought?

    Not sure what is going on here. I pre-ordered an album. One of the songs was available for instant download so I have that in my library now. I received an email saying that the rest of the album is available for download. When I go into my purchased songs as instructed, it only shows 2 other songs from that album. Not sure what I need to do.

    Hi libby2350,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Depending on your settings, the songs may already have been downloaded to your iTunes library.
    The article below will explain how the Pre-orders process works.
    If you still cannot find this music on your computer, the iTunes Store Support team will be happy to help you with your order.
    iTunes Store: About Pre-orders
    If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloadsto begin downloading your pre-order.
    I hope this information helps ...
    Have a great day!

  • Pre-order an album - release time

    I've pre-ordered an album, the release date is 20th April. At what time will this download become available? One minute past midnight on the 20th?
    I'm looking forward to the album so much I might stay up and wait for it. (Sad, I know.)

  • I pre ordered an album, it says I purchased it and it's still not downloading

    I recently pre ordered an album, it says I purchased it but still won't download, I don't know why this is happening and it's aggravating. Somebody please help me

    When you pre order an album you don't get the album until it's released to the masses. Look at the album and iTunes it should say when you can download the album with it's release. I hate giving bad news but at least nothings wrong with your account
