Re-downloading purchased items and Apple's "Official" Policy
I may have lost several hundred purchased songs with no back up dating back several years. I understand that Apple's official Policy is that you can only download this content once. I did submit a request however to see if they will make a one time exception. Has anyone here been able to re-download purchased music from Apple?

Some people have been able to. It never happens more than once per person.

Just bought a new imac and tried to download all my music from my iPod but it only allow me to download purchased items and not the rest of stuff stored on a previous pc itunes folder. How do I get round this ?
The simplest way to transfer everything is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

what should i do?i purchased aperture 3 and final cut pro"my app account"
Click Account under Quick Links right side of the App Store window then sign in.
If you can login using your Apple ID, then your account is in good standing.
Otherwise try here > Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" appears -

My Mac Hard disk recently broke and was replaced. Now, although my computer is authorised in itunes store, it won't let me re-download purchased items (esp OSX Lion). How can I make computer re-download previous purchases?
Never mind - I didn't realize that I just needed to wait a while for the Cloud stuff to cycle through and load. Solved!

my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro. it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone. However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized. How do I fix this?
You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items. -
"Problems with downloading purchased items......."
I am having problems with a couple of recent downloads. It happened once recently with the purchase of 4 individual songs. Somehow they eventually downloaded. Not sure how. Now, this past week, I downloaded 2 individual songs from the itunes music store, with no problem, then purchased an album and got through downloading two songs before I began to get the same "problem" window that I got before. The window would pop up and read, "There were problems downloading purchased items. Please check your connection and try again." That was about it. I have downloaded to my current set up for a long time. I have an external hard drive with about 106G of music on it. I have another couple of gigs left. I have the external set up as my itunes music folder in the advanced preference window, etc. I just can't figure out why this is happening and there is little support from Apple. FAQs are not helping. Anybody have any advice? Thanks, in advance. J
Hi,
Open download window - down arrow top right. What does this show? If it shows track name with "error" shown. Select all and delete.
Now try to see if you can redownload by going itunes store > purchased.

I have a windows pc. How can I download purchased items which have become corrupted on my PC. I can't use iCloud without an Apple device. I have gone into purchased but next to each title it merely says 'downloaded'. I need to download them again. It will cost a fortune to re-purchase the corrupted music!
I tried that but it just shows 'downloaded'. There is no little cloud next to that wording. On an Itunes help page it shows a 'library icon' once you have logged in but that does not appear on my version of ITunes which is 11.1. I have lost so many peices of music! Is this some ploy by Apple to get you to buy them all over again?? Thanks for you response, if you can think of anything else I would be most grateful

I NEED HELP DOWNLOADING PURCHASED ITEMS FROM ICLOUD
"You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days" is the message i keep getting on my screen when i try to download my TV shows from icloud. I dont understand why I cannot down load stuff. Someone, kindly explain what i need to do to get my shows down loaded. I cant wait for 64 more days before downloading.I write this because in addition to the above message i keep getting when trying to download, i also get "this computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 64 days".This is v frustrating for me. Is there something i need to be doing or not?
Sounds like you recently authorized/deautorized that computer with a different apple id. To download purchases with the apple ID that is currently authorized follow these instructions Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

While downloading purchased items, message pops 'There was an error downloading some purchased items stopped err = 3259'
You'll have to check your security software settings, iTunes has to be able to connect to Apple servers during the download process.
