Problem downloading all of my purchases

Hi everyone, I have noticed after reformatting my computer and reinstalling iTunes when i try to re download all of my past purchases at once. I tunes will only allow me to download about 255 songs. I have significantly more then this. So my only other option is to scroll through each artists name and manually download album by album... Why is this happening? I used to be able to download all of my purchases at once with no problem. Anyways thanks for any help! 

Hello 13579nonylie,
I would suggest steps 1, 3, and 5 of the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1. If you get to step 3, close all the apps. Here is step 1 to get you started:
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
If that does not work then I would troubleshoot iTunes for 3rd party plugins in safe mode with this article:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
And if the issue still persists in safe mode, I would recommend recreating your iTunes library.

    I realise there have been a number of threads like this now that I have started looking, the problem is the back-ups i made were saved to a server network which has now also gone down, a case of dreadful luck really. Is there any other way to get the music back?

    Hey Etti101,
    I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

  • I can't seem to download all my existing purchases to my new harddrive

    I've recently had my hard drive replaced and am trying to reload all my iTunes purchases (music, movies, apps etc) but I keep getting an error pop up saying "There was a problem downloading. You do not have enough access privialges for this opperation. please check that the connection to the network is active and try again" I've checked all that I can but nothing is working....HELP!

    Simply restore them from the backup of the computer.
    You do maintain a backup of your media and other important data on your computer, correct?

  • Problem downloading all my music

    Resently I upgrade my old itunes to the new version available. I have up to 60G of music and pretend to add more from other hard drives I have. The thing is that I "download all my music" but when I really check the itunes library vs my hard drive library, there was a lot of folders, music and information that never reach itunes(The songs and info in the HD are intact). Also, in the process of passing music to iTunes, there were a few music or folder that need conversion to aac. It need three days to do that conversion and as I told, never did the full pass of the music and songs. What can I do to pass all my music (100%) to iTunes without duplicate any song or folder? When I want to pass the other volume of music, How can I do it without duplicate the music I already pass?

    Resently *I ERASE ALL MY 60 GIGA* of music and *DOWNLOADED FROM 0!!!!* To make the things worst I have to supervise the download because iTunes put a full cd were ever he want. EXAMPLE PEOPLE, a cd with ALL the info needed, iTune put it in a Compilation folder or a various artist folder. What the ****!!! Its the same problem and no one can answer it!! Is that difficult to manage iTunes? Please. Put some Engineer to work on it. On other programs I can throw all the music scrambled and they can manage it and organized by it self. I can also do the same with the files to a memory card to my organizer and it can do the same. I was going to give my Wife a ipod cell phone but if it is that difficult on a player I don't want to imagine how difficult would be to manage the phone. Please, some one, this would be my last chance before starting to look for a REAL player. I'm puting it on cap so it can be understandable: I HAVE MY MUSIC ON A FOLDER ON MY COMPUTER. I WANT ITUNES TO ADD ALL FOLDERS "*** IS" TO THE PLAYLIST WITHOUT MIXING IT UP. IF THE FOLDER IS OF "DISTURBED" AND I HAVE 3 CDS OF THEM, I WANT TO PUT ON THE PLAYLIST THE 3 CDS WITH THE INFO REQUIRED AS I HAVE IT ON THE FOLDERS AND ON THE ORIGINAL FOLDERS I WANT ITUNES TO LEAVE THEM AS ORGANIZED AS I HAVE THEM FROM THE FIRST TIME. I DON'T WANT TO CREATE ANOTHER FOLDER WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION OR NOTHING. Please, I don't want scientific explanations. Go straight to the point.

  • Problems downloading all episodes

    Hello! I am trying to download all the episodes in the podcast "Coffee Break French". I subscribed to the podcast, got the latest episode, but I am unable to download the rest of the episodes, even though they say free next to them. There is no "download all" button. Any ideas? What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

  • Can't download all songs in purchased to 3rd gen nano

    I'm trying to download newly purchased songs to a 3rd gen nano. I receive an error msg saying the song can't be downloaded as it's not authorized to be downloaded to this computer. I've never encountered this problem before. I restored the nano to it's orig settings...and now...I can't reload many of the songs I had on the nano.
    Thanks in advance for your support.

    Hey there,
    Have you authorized the computer yet to play purchases from the iTunes store? If not, head to the Store drop down menu and choose "Authorize computer."
    If it is, try de-authorizing your computer, logging out, logging back in, and re-authorizing.

  • ITunes is downloading all of my purchases again!

    Hello! Hoping someone out there can help. It seems that the other day, iTunes decided it wanted to download everything that I've already purchased again. I'm not sure how to get it to stop doing this, other than by just pausing it. If I clear out all the available downloads, when I close out of iTunes and open it up again, it just starts downloading everything again. I just want this to stop! Can anyone help?

    Haha. People who have had a hard drive crash would LOVE for this to happen to them!
    Only thing you can do is contact iTS support and ask them to remove the DLs from your DL queue.

  • TS1702 I have several purchased music files that do not play as the file can not be located.  I have gone to the purchased files and downloaded all of my purchased music and several are still not playing.

    I have had several purchases in my library come up as unable to locate file when it searches, still not found.  I have went to all purchased songs and asked to donwload all of them and still, no music.  Ideas?

  • Need to re-download all of my purchases

    The PTB let me do it once. Ya'll think they'll let me do it again?

    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you may be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download however they are not under any obligation to do so. The policy on lost songs is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage."
    You can email them from any of the links on this page: iTMS Customer Service
