Re-downloading a lost purchase from itunes

I bought 2 tv seasons and a movie and before i was able to back them up my drive took a dive. If i go to itunes and redownload them will i be charged for the purchase? If so how do i get them back.
Thanks,
joe

Here's what Apple says: "If your hard disk becomes damaged or you lose any of the music you've purchased, you'll have to buy any purchased music again to rebuild your library."
However, you can go here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/ and fill out the form to request Apple authorize another download. Be as specific as possible with the names of the TV seasons and movies. Beg a little. You may get lucky and the worst that can happen is they say "No".

    Hi guys,
    I need some everytime I try to download a song purchase from itunes I get the error message. 'Unable to Download Song' could not be downloaded at this time. I cannot even sync with itunes on the PC.
    Kind regards

    One correction, from the icloud I was not able to listed to the entire song.  So when you purchased the song if it wasn't downloaded to your library, chances are you have lost your opportunity to listen to it.

  • I can't download a previous purchase from iTunes

    I purchased an album about 6 months ago. It on my ipad but not my phone. When I go to iTunes it Sayers purchased but won't let me download it again. Any ideas? Many thanks for the help

    Unhiding it should get it to appear. Try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's taskbar and see if it shows when you re-open it (it may need 'refreshing') : from the home screen (i.e. not with the iTunes store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • Cannot download all songs purchased from itunes onto iphone

    My iphone is on 7.1.2 and out of over 300 purchased songs, only 70 will download onto the phone! And then some that do download won't play! What gives? I even checked all the boxes in my itunes library of songs and clicked the "only download checked songs" on the sync page. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    thanks

  • I deleted iTunes from my PC, is there any way i can sync my phone to a newly downloaded iTunes without losing my music that wasn't purchased from iTunes?

    BACK-STORY
    I recently was given a new iPhone 4S from the Apple Store, I synced it to my PC when I got home and got everything back.I had to uninstall a download of windows 8.1 back to the original windows 8 in order to install an anti-virus software. The only way to uninstall Windows 8.1 is basically a factory reset, by doing so I lost everything that wasn't saved in cloud or external drive.I downloaded iTunes again, signed in and the only thing I could find was the music that I purchased from iTunes. I don't want to connect my phone to the iTunes I just downloaded,because I think I'm going to lose all the music that's already on there, minus the music I bought from iTunes. It's a lot of albums and it took me a while to collect them all too.
    WHAT I WOULD LIKE HELP WITH PLEASE
    Can I transfer the music on my phone to some type of storage?
    USB memory drive
    Cloud ex. Skydrive, Google Drive, Dropbox etc
    Store somewhere on my PC. (I know I can't sync from my iPhone to iTunes.)
    If it is at all possible to store the music that's already on my iPhone using another method,such as the ones I've mentioned or haven't,can I then transfer it to iTunes?
    If there is no way to save my iPhone's music library, then when I rebuild it is there a way to store it, that if the same thing was to happen I wouldn't have to go through this process?
    Also, any other tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL!!

  • HT201272 I have accidentally deleted an Audiobook from my iPad. It was purchased from iTunes (not Audible - though it is an Audible product). It does not appear in the list of previous purchases. How do I 'find' it to re-download it?

    I have accidentally deleted an Audiobook purchased from iTunes. (Purchased from iTunes, not Audible, but it is an Audible product). It does not appear anywhere on a lost of previously purchased items.  How can I 'find' it and re-download it? Thanks!

    Sorry, but audiobooks cannot be downloaded more than once without charge, so if you don't have a viable backup, you may be out of luck. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the situation, and see if they can make an exception for you.

  • Updated to 7.0 and lost video file purchased from iTunes

    I updated my iTunes today and a video file I purchased from iTunes in February is gone. The file is still on my iPod because I have not sync'ed it yet. I know that once I do the file is lost for good. Is there a way of preserving it and putting it back into iTunes without repurchasing it?

    Depending on which country that you are in you might be able to re-download it for free : re-downloading. Otherwise, have you not got a copy of them on your computer and/or on a backup that you can use to re-sync them to the iPhone ?

    The music you just downloaded tonight to your new computer is safe. The music you purchased on your phone is safe.  You shouldn't feel gutted.  It's your other music that you should have taken better care of.  That would include any music you ripped yourself or purchased outside of iTunes.  That you can't get back.
    It has always been the user's responsibility to back up and protect downloaded music.  If you didn't have a backup of your computer before it started acting funny, that's your fault.  It would be no different than if you lost a music CD.  It would not be a record store's responsibility to replace if you lost it.  Digital music is no different.  Similarly, a phone is not a backup medium.  Phone's break, get misplaced or stolen all the time and are not a substitute for a backup copy of your music and media.
    Computers WILL break.  Hard drives WILL fail.  That's why you back up your data.

    Hi!  I just bought a new laptop and have downloaded itunes and signed in.  When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs.  How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  Also, will itunes still recognize my ipod on my new computer when I plug it in?  I have a Dell with Windows 7 and an ipod nano, I think.  Why can't I just plug my ipod in and "sync" it?  Will that move my CD music into my library on itunes?  Thanks for any help!  Soooo confusing!!!

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before and use the same account

    My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before? Can you redownload? If so, how?? Please help as I'm missing over 500 previously paid for and downloaded iTunes song purchases.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?
