Purchase Same Song Twice

My daugther and I download iTunes music onto separate computers but from the same iTunes account. Before I installed iTunes 9, I could download onto my computer a song that she had purchased before for her computer, even though I had to pay for it a second time. This avoided my having to ask her for a copy. With iTunes 9, I do not get the option of downloading the same song again, even if I want to pay for it. The song reads "Purchased" and does not allow a download option. I called iTunes support and I was told to download the latest version of iTunes 9 (iTunes 9.2). I was told that this version had an option to purchase a song more than once (something version 9.1 did not have). However, it does appear to have this option.
Does anybody know how to get around this easily without having to share music or transfer by CD? Is there a way to download twice even if I have to pay?

Why not copy what you want from one computer to the other, either by temporarily turning on Home Sharing, or else by using a USB flash drive.

Hi, sarabette.
I would recommend reporting a problem with the purchase via the steps in the article below. You can either do this via the email invoice received or by accessing your purchase history.

HT204053 my wife and i have seperate itunes accounts is there a way we can link our accounts to share songs so we dont have to pay for the same song twice?

When the first ipad came out i set it up and created an itunes account, since then she got an iphone and an ipad and everything was good. I had an android but wanted to try out the iphone. When i set it up ut jumpled all of our contacts, apps, and everythin. it was a mess.
Since, i purchased and ipad 2 and an iphone and to keep our stuff from combing i used a different computer and created an new apple ID for myself so our info wouldnt combine, I was wondering if i did the right thing or if i should have went about it a different way. I was going to see if there was a way when she purchased a song i could get it. I dont want to pay for the same song twice and only want to share songs. If i cant do this can i copy her library and paste it into my itunes??
Any help wouldl be greatly apprecieated we both have icloud set up but i cant figure out the best solution.

Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.

Why does my iPhone 4 play same song twice?

why does my iPhone 4 play same song twice?

I had the same issue in my 2012 Nissan Altima. It was a function in my car's stero settings. I had to go to the car's iPhone/iPod settings when the iPhone was plugged into the USB. My settings come up automatically when I plug in and I can scroll through the commands to "Shuffle" songs. Hope this helps.

ITunes DJ same songs twice in following

It has to be a known problem and there has to be a simple solution:
How can I prevent iTunes DJ from playing a second time the same song right after the first time?
There has to be a way to prevent the same Song being played twice a day!
Please somebody tell me how.

really? it happens to me all the time. I was asking me, if that could still be accidentally. (500 Titels should not be a large list, but it isn't a short one)
Thank you for your hint. I thought about your idea, but it has 2 Problems:
1. I have to generate a new list for every list I want to use with DJ.
2. The Problem isn't solved completly, because the last-played-date is updated after the next song was picked and that could then be right the song which was played the moment before.
It's annoying me since I got the first Version of iTunes and please don't tell me, I'm the only one who has a Problem with that!

Hi i keep downloading the same song twice on different things, these collections and regular albums are confusing...i lost all my media and trying to get it back and now 2 of the same song is up...why cant support be a little helpful?

is Apple going bankrupt again, they seem to not wanna be bothered, is there a way to EMAIL, im not into calling and it says my calls have expired....why cant Apple be a little helpful, im a little upset with them and wanna throw my ipod touch across the room - i dont want 2 of the same songs anymore, i dont wanna be charged twice these bands are making it very difficult to remember the last album i had this stuff on....i dont know my music anymore it keeps changing

Perhaps, if you stop ranting - and stop typing in capitals (which is regarded as shouting), then you may get somewhere. But since I'm so nice...
A good place to start for help is here, in these discussions and then proceed by explaining the probelm clearly.
Let's start by crossing out anything that isn't relevant:
is Apple going bankrupt again, they seem to not wanna be bothered, is there a way to EMAIL, im not into calling and it says my calls have expired....why cant Apple be a little helpful, im a little upset with them and wanna throw my ipod touch across the room - i dont want 2 of the same songs anymore, i dont wanna be charged twice these bands are making it very difficult to remember the last album i had this stuff on....i dont know my music anymore it keeps changing
So, are we to assume that a band you like, produce albums with songs on them that you already have, on other albums?
If so, that's down to the band, not Apple. The only answer to that is that you should check for yourself whether you already have a particular song and if you do, don't buy it again. However, you should also consider that buying the full album (with a song you don't want) may be cheaper than buying the individual songs that you do want.

App Store forcing me to purchase same game twice on different devices

I have an iPad and an iPhone. Both are logged into the App Store with the same account.
I purchased a game on my iPad, but I also want to play it on my iPhone when I don't have my iPad with me. I was under the impression that purchases are tied to your account and not to your device. However, when I search for the game in the App Store, it says it wants me to pay the game's full price again.
How do I fix this?

Robert, I have done your suggestion and the game is not there.
To ensure I am using the same Apple ID, I have one to Settings > iTunes & App Store. The Apple ID being used is the same.
I suspect the problem is I recently changed the email associated with my Apple ID using appleid.apple.com. I suspect there are bugs there.

I think I purchased same product twice. I can't see my account history of purchases.

Hi johnkocela,
I've checked your account using the email address that you use here in the forums; you have an Adobe Send subscription, and one for ExportPDF, so it doesn't appear that you have a duplicate subscription (unless you have a second Adobe ID). And, if you signed up for a subscription via the Reader Mobile app--those subscriptions are managed by the respective app stores, and won't show up in your Adobe.com account.
You should be able to check your account by logging in to www.adobe.com with your Adobe ID and password. Then, click My Plans & Products to see a list of your Adobe subscriptions and software.
What product is it that you believe you have two of?
Best,
Sara

HT201359 I was billed twice for the same song?

Who do I contact for being billed for the same song twice?

Mistakes happen... contact iTunes Customer Support and report the problem.

Purchased a song but can't find it

I recently purchased a song through ITunes, which successfully completed. But after checking my music library it wasn't there, or even checking under "Purchased" tab and it wasn't their either. So I tried redownloading again and it says I can not download the same song twice or I will be charged again, so I cancelled...help locating this song please.
P.S. I recently downloaded an entire album with no problems.

Have you tried searching on your computer hard drive for the song? If not then I would recommend going to Start>Search>Music files and enter the song title and it will let you know if it's on the computer. If it isn't then I would send an email to the iTunes Store explaining what happened. To send an email go to: apple.com/support/itunes/store and choose the I can't find my music link and fill out the information required and they should be able to inform you of what the next step is.
