Re-download Music that's Already Been Purchased on iTunes.

I want to know if It's Possible to Redown load Music that I bought from iTunes?. What i mean is that that I had a External HD that was acting up and i thought i had backed up my Recently Purchased Music but it was erased & when i looked into my iTunes Account to look at all my previous Purchases it didn't show them as being able to re-download them. So i was wondering how do I handle this? Same thing goes for my Purchased Movies & TV Show's.

Hi,
You should be able to find previous purchases by going into iTunes Store then selecting purchased from quick links. On the next page you will see all past purchases and will show if they have been downloaded or not. If you click on not on this computer, tracks available for download. If track is not shown here but on previous screen showing downloaded, iTunes still thinks that the track is on your computer.
From what you say, the purchases are still available on your ipad, indicating that the tracks are still available for redownload.
If you have lost non purchased music on your computer but still have it on your ipad, have a look at:

How can I download a song that's already been purchased?

How can I re-download a song that's already been purchased, but for some reason, is not on my computer? Is there any way to do this? According to the iTunes Store, the song has been purchased, yet it can't be found under "Purchased" and the song is nowhere in my library. What's going on here?

Hi Ichinenjuu,
You are looking in the wrong "Purchased" section (a bit confusing, I know). You need to click on the iTunes Store. Once there, on the right side you will see a Quick Links section - under that you will see Purchased. Click on that Purchased. A window will display with Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc. Click on Music, then on Songs. Also, at the top of the window, you will see All and Not on this Computer/Mac, click on All.
You should then see a list of all purchased songs, and any that are not downloaded currently will have a little cloud next to them. You can click individually on a particular cloud to download that song, or you can click on Download All at the bottom to download all that are not currently on your computer.
Post back if you have questions!
Cheers,

Apple is making me pay to update free apps OR apps that have already been purchased, More than once??!!

I have Recently been trying to update several apps of mine, and when i click update all, or one at a time, it takes me straight to my billing information. Then after that it says i need to pay to update my apps that have already been purchased or apps that i have gotten for free, i have never used a credit card to buy apps, i have always just used iTunes Cards to Redeem apps. However, when i took my iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.1 to the apple store, the "geniuses" have told me i have outstanding payments on an app so in order to update them, i need to go and purchase more itunes cards.. So i have went out and bought about Three 20$ itunes cards hoping that by using just 1 card - it would fix the problem im having. but it isnt. ALSO if i purchase an app without having the same amount of what it costs it will not let me buy/download it, so how can i have to pay for apps that are already on my phone?? MOST THAT ARE FREE. Can someone please help me solve this issue that actually knows what they are doing?! thanks..

That's because the billing information is out of date or there was a problem with a previous purchase.

No. That's not what it says. What is the EXACT message you get?

Contact iTunes store support and find out what the problem is.

Um... yeah... That's the way it works. If you want to buy something, you have to have enough to actually pay for it.

ITunes syncs music that has already been loaded on my iPod?

For a while now, every time I sync my ipod (160 GB Classic)to iTunes on my Mac it syncs music that has already been synced on my iPod many times before. I've noticed it's usually the same set of songs every time, and I've checked the files to see if there is any reason why it would be doing that, but they are the same as everything else.
Any particular reason this is happening?

Not a clue, but it's happening to me, too. I have a 1st generation iPod Touch (16GB) and I get the same 15 songs synced every day I sync. It doesn't seem to happen every time, but pretty much every day. For example, if I sync twice while having the iPod plugged in (maybe after updating due to an application update, I might update again just to make sure everything worked.) Then the update is very quick with no backup or problem with the repeatedly synced songs. //sorry for the ramble.// Anyone else having this happen?

Can i download music that i have previously purchased/downloaded?

can i download music that i have previously purchased/downloaded? I paid and downloaded an album then my computer died. I have now lost that album.

If you are in the US then yes, you can re-download past music purchases (assuming that they are still available in the store). If you are not in the US then have you not got a backup anywhere of your music purchases ?

Since my software update none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes work on my iphone? It sees the songs but none play. How do I resolve this issue?

Hello,
Since I updated my iphone none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes no longer works on my iphone. It is weird, the music is on the iphone but in gray and the iphone does not recognize it. The only songs that I could play are my songs that I downloaded on my phone that were purchased through itunes.
Another error: When I purchase a new song on itunes it doesn't put the song in my purchased playlist like it used too. In order for me to play that song I just purchased I have to go back to the itunes store and play it directly from the place I purchased it from which is super annoying.
Frankly I am really disappointed with the constant errors from upgrades that should be "Up grades" Not "down grades". Not sure why is going on but not seems to work the same anymore. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my iphone music?
Thank you,
Dago

You will probably lose the music.
Why is it not on your computer?
Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?

HT2534 If I change my kids apple id will they still be able to update apps that have already been purchased

If I change my kids apple id will they still be able to update apps that have been previously purchased with a different apple id?

Yes as long as they are signed into that Apple ID. Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them. But it is never a good idea to change an Apple ID. If you get a new email address and change the name that you use for the Apple ID, that's something different, but creating a totally new ID is not advisable.
You will always have to be signing in and out of the two ID's on the iPad and when you sign into another ID and download content with that ID, you lock yourself out of the other ID for 90 days.

Hi, what is the name of the software that iTunes uses to enable you to transfer music from one computer to another that has already been purchased? I know that it costs money and its not iCloud. Any help would be great. Thanks

Downloading music I already own on CD is it pos how do I load music from CDs I already own sible to or how to put music that I already own into my iTunes

How do I play music into my Apple device from CDs I already own

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Just import them into iTunes, then check them in the sync options for your Apple Device when connected to iTunes and sync.

Is requesting songs on itunes store really helpful? is the itunes team serious about adding music that is already available in different itunes stores but not in the US?

Dear iTunes Support Team, I have recently started purchasing albums from the iTunes store and I am planning to buy even more in the near future. However, the U.S. iTunes store only offers a few German Artists/Albums. I'm happy that you are expanding the iTunes store with songs from all over the world and I'm happy that you are offering a few yet more and more German songs. I would highly appreciate it, if you could add Artists like Shindy, Bushido, Sido with their albums (NWA, NWA 2.0, FBGM, AMYF, Sonny Black) to your U.S. Store. I don't live in Germany anymore and therefore don't have German credit cards to switch over to the Getman iTunes store. You have some Bushido Albums available in the U.S. store available for purchase but I specifically am interestsed in his other albums. Also, the artists I mentioned above are only available in the German iTunes store and not available in the U.S iTunes store yet. Please kindly respond back to me. I would be more than happy to hear about a possible solution from your side. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your help! Yes, they are available but in the German iTunes Store only. Some older songs are available even in the US iTunes Store, but not the new songs from those German artists mentioned above.
I cannot provide a German billing/paying info because I live in California. I would like to switch over to the German iTunes store to buy the albums available there, however, I do have a German iTunes Card but you still need to provide a valid card (visa,master card etc) to purchase songs from the German iTunes Store (I wish the German iTunes gift card itself would be enough, this would make everything easy for many people).
Please help me out and do I need to create a new Apple ID associated ONLY with the German iTunes Store?
Thanks,
shindymagjeder

I inherited a 3GS with music that wasn't all purchased from iTunes. I am trying to synch back to iTunes so I can add to my iPad2 but can't seem to do it.

Can it actually be done or am i wasting my time?

cannot be done. By design, when you synch the phone with a different iTunes library, it will wipe the phone and replace what's in the current iTunes library on the computer
This is to prevent music stealing, which is what you're trying to do: use someone else's music.

Is anybody out there have iTunes Match problems? Such as: trades your music that you did not purchase from iTunes into edited versions of a song.

This is very annoying and utterly frustrating

At the moment, you have two options as far as I know.
1. Just live with the issue until Apple resolve it.
2. Turn off iTunes Match. You can just turn it off on specific devices and sync in the old way via USB.
I'm afraid that is it really.

ITunes is not recognizing my new computer and not allowing me to download my music that I already purchased even though it recognizes my registered iPod.

I got a new computer and downloaded iTunes. When I tried to download music that I already purchased I got a message that my computer was not authorized although my iPod was plugged in and it was recognized. I don't see anywhere that I can register my new computer. Can someone help me?

- You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
- Have you tried everthing here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You should
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Your library/media will not be affected.
- Does the iPod charge?
