Purchased iTunes content

I have unadvertantly deleted an item purchased from iTunes. Can i re-download it for free?

No for music and video. You can redownload apps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
"PRODUCTS CAN BE DOWNLOADED ONLY ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED OR RENTED FROM THE ITUNES STORE THAT ARE STORED IN YOUR SYSTEM."
http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE
These are the same policies as Amazon and Wal-Mart.
You should always make sure that your music/pics/files/docs are backed up to an external source.
Use your backup copy to put the music back on your computer.
If you have no backup ( not good), then you can try contacting itunes support to ask for an exception. They are under no obligation to do so.

  • Purchased iTunes Content Getting Sorted Wrong

    I'm having a bit of a problem recently with my purchased iTunes content. I recently got a MacMini, and when I was trying to load my iTunes content from a external hard drive I noticed around 20 random television episodes I purchased through the iTunes store were loaded under the Movies tab in iTunes and they lost all their meta sorting details. I tried adding the correct meta data to the affected episodes, and tried reloading them, but they keep moving back to the Movies tab with no meta data.
    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (was running 10.6.7 at the time of the move) and iTunes 10.3.1.

    The policy on lost purchases 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 could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

  • Why is my purchased iTunes content not available for re-downloading.

    I had one of those dreaded hard drive failures and lost my iTunes music collection. I'm not worried as it was backed up but I went online to view my purchased content and noticed one of the albums I bought isn't listed. I verified that it's still availble on the online store but I can't re-download it for some reason. Is there some reason an album would not be listed and available for download? I did check and it's not hidden either, it's simply just not there.

    Hi jeffr0, the majority of the print apps available on the ePrintCenter are developed by third party companies and as such may be subject to certain restrictions in terms of the countries where they are available.
    The apps Biztree Forms and HP Quick Forms may be of use. Sorry about that.

  • How do I share new purchased itunes content automatically between multiple user accounts on the same computer?

    I have 3 different user accounts set up on the same computer. Whenever one of us buys or downloads anything, how can I get that to be automatically available for each of the other users? The main itunes library is stored at users/shared/itunes, but this doesn't seem to help much. As far as I can gather, Home Sharing only works between computers, not between users on the same computer......

    is that the iTunes folder or just the iTunes media (or music) folder ?
    what should work is if the entire iTunes folder were in the shared folder and iTunes on each user account would access the same library file
    launch iTunes on each user account (one at a time) while holding the option (⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder you copied to the shared folder.
    if user A adds content, this will be available to the others immediately when they access the library, however, only one iTunes at a time can use the library. if you're using fast user switching, user A must quit iTunes before user B can fire it up.

  • Purchased iTunes content from mac to iPhone?

    Hi i'm having a bit of trouble with itunes on my Iphone.  I have purchased an audiobook on my mac and I believe that this should now also appear on my iphone as I am running IOS 5 and have Icloud up and running.  However if I go into purchases in itunes on my Iphone I cant seem to find it.  Should it not automatically be sent to this device?
    Thanks

    I don't believe that audiobooks are part of this.
    You will likely have to sync your audiobook.

  • Some Previously Purchased iTunes Content Not Appearing in iCloud

    Greetings,
    I recently purchased an Apple TV (3rd Generation), and I began scrolling through my previous iTunes purchases under the TV Shows menu. I noticed that many of my older purchases do not show up. Most notably, I had purchased a season pass of Battlestar Galactica's third season in 2007. Now, when I look at my purchase history in my iTunes account, it shows up as purchased; the page in the iTunes Store for that season also shows it as purchased. Is it unavailable for iCloud streaming because I purchased the SD version, and not the HD? I feel as though it should be available for iCloud playback regardless of its resolution.
    Thank you all for indulging me.

    Hey jorox_jorox,
    The first thing I'd start off with is going through the steps in the following document:

  • How can I share itunes content between 2 macs (both mine) in 2 different locations? Same Apple ID, same account, not the same network.

    I haev a main mac at my main home which syncs itunes to my ipad and iphone with no problem. I want to access the same itunes content at my mac in my second home which is obviously on a different network. I have my ipad and iphone with me so they can be on the same network as the second mac. I can share the purchased itunes content but not the uploaded content. Any ideas?

    Ok well that is not uploaded content. Maybe ripped content is a better term.
    You can transfer purchased content from your iOS devices into the new Mac if you want.

  • How to properly update iTunes content while traveling abroad?

    Spent some time searching and found a number of threads covering T&Cs and whys and wherefores of US Citizens on extended overseas travel trying to update or purchase iTunes content. There's a lot of 'why not' but not much 'how to'.
    I'm seeking the Apple-approved solution for those of us with US based iTunes accounts who are traveling or deployed overseas or take extended temporary jobs abroad. How can we legally, properly, update our podcast subscriptions, apps for iPhones, or purchase content?
    Do we have to simply change the country setting at the bottom of the iTunes Store window, so we are interacting with whatever the local Store is and the content will live happily in iTunes no matter which Store it was purchased from?
    Do we have to set up a new account with local credit card in every land we are assigned?
    There has to be a way, it seems illogical that you can't update podcasts or apps while traveling. There's got to be an Apple-approved method for this!
    If anyone knows the answer or a link to the answer or something near to it, please provide the info. The T&C are clear enough in regards to "purchases" and using the US store only from in the US, but doesn't answer the 'how-to' for customers traveling abroad who are not spending any money by getting new podcast episodes or free app updates.
    So again, no need to rehash the T&C, just seeking the 'proper' way to update things if away for a while. I'll be stupefied if I hear that the official Apple answer is the iPhone content is frozen in place until I get back in US territory.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply, Chris.
    After posting the message, I changed my iTunes Store to India (where there may be work opportunities) and there were only Apps and iTunes U content tabs, and the T&C were similar-can only shop at the store where you are connecting from. So unless the store looks different when logging in while physically in India, there wouldn't be a way to update podcasts.
    I am concerned about an important distinction, though, which is 'what will work' vs. 'what is T&C compliant'...

  • How can I get my non purchased song content from ipod touch 4 back to my itunes library. My library

    How can I get my non purchased song content back into my itunes library from my ipod touch 4. My itunes had disappeared so I had to get another itunes & start again. I still have the original song content in the ipod.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer to move iTunes content.
    As for pictures, copy them from where there are on the old computer to the new computer... this has nothing to do with iTunes.
    Alternatively, if both computers are Windows based, use the Windows Easy File Transfer Utility to move everything.

  • I'm trying to purchase extra content on some of my apps and it says "contact iTunes support to complete this transaction." how can I fix this? My credit card is valid and I've made extra content purchases before and it's worked.

    As I replied in your duplicate thread, these are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    You can contact iTunes support via this page :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then probably Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

    i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

    On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
    On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.
