Re-downloading songs after losing entire HD

My entire HD got wiped after a crash while upgrading to Mountain Lion. I lost all my data. I've since restored my HD back to factory setting and thought I could re-download my purchases on iTunes, but I can't figure out how... There is no "purchased" category in the left hand menu and when I check for available downloads iTunes says there are none. I can view my account and see all the purchases I've made, but I don't see any option to re-download them. Help?

If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then follow these directions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • When ever I try to sync my iPad2 to itunes i can never completely "update and download" because after the entire process it says "Error: unable to complete update /download, network timed out"!  Why? I have wi-fi in my house

    I can't complete my iPad2 update and download, ever.  It says my network timed out and I don't know why.

    Temporarily turn off any firewall or anti-virus software you have on your PC while downloading.

  • Unable to access previously downloaded songs after added new ones

    i added some new songs to my nano and now they are the only ones that i can listen to. when i connect my nano to itunes i still cannot listen to any songs other than the ones i most recently added.

    First, are the old songs showing on the Nano or are the new ones the only showing? Are you getting any types of error messages or icons when you attempt to play these songs in iTunes? You may want to try removing all of the songs from your ipod and re-syncing them back on to see if that helps. Also, try resetting the ipod.

  • Re-Download Songs After Motherboard Failure

    The computer with my son's iTunes library had a catastrophic hardware failure and is now a paperweight. The iTunes library was not backed up (great lesson).
    Any ideas on whether we can re-download the files w/o his having to pay for them again?
    Also any ideas on why "deauthorize all computers" does not appear on my account page so I can deauthorize the paperweight?

    Apple have a strict download once policy, howver I understand they can occasionally make an exception, there is an email link here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/lostmusic/
    If you have the files on an iPod or another PC they can be recovered from there. The iPod needs a bit of extra work - I can give some instructions if required.
    The other thing to consider if it was a mother board failure, is a drive cradle - a gizmo which will allow you to use an internal hard drive as an external drive via a USB cable. They are not that expensive compared to music and it would allow you to recover files from the old drive.
    Try googling drive cradle or looking in site that supplies electronics such as Amazon.
    Unfortunately you can't deauthorise a dead computer until you have used up all 5 authorisations, then you can deauthorise all in one go from your store account.
    PS I think googling drive enclosure is better if you are intersted in that.

  • Downloaded songs losing data..

    I have numerous previously downloaded songs that appear to be, losing data.   I'm listening to incomplete songs and it's driving me nuts...

    Yes, they were checked and selected to sync.. all purchased with the same appleid and I never received any error messages.. funny as it is though, after rwading some threads I saw one person mention that they played a few seconds of each song then synced again and it worked.. so I tried it and now all my purchases show up in my playlist on the iphone itself. Weird... but hey whatever works. Thanks SO much for responding though, I was definitely more than a little upset lol

    Hello Smorton15,
    It sounds like you purchased a tv show episode and the playback is choppy and bad. I would next try deleteing the episode, and re downloading it from the iTunes store, then see how that plays back.

    You're welcome.
    Going back to your original post:
    5) Tried running Itunes in 'safe mode', running itunes as an administrator..nothing.
    Was that iTunes' safe mode as opposed to Windows' safe mode? iTunes safe mode is invoked by holding down CTRL+SHIFT immediately after clicking the icon to launch iTunes and continuing to hold until this message pops up:
    Click continue, then close iTunes and reopen. With luck iTunes now opens normally every time.

  • I try to redeem an iTunes GC and I get a "Session Has Timed Out" Message. The same thing happens when I try to download a song, after I'm taken to the SLA page

    I try to redeem an iTunes GC and I get a "Session Has Timed Out" Message. The same thing happens when I try to download a song, after I'm taken to the SLA page. I sent Apple Support an email. They told me its software on my computer restricting access to my Internet Connection, but I haven't installed any new software since my last purchase from the iTunes Store. What can I do to fix this?!?! Thanks

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

    Going on what other people have posted your purchases will disappear off the Purchased links for redownloading (they won't be removed from your iTunes library or iOS devices), but as long as you have all your downloads on your backup of your library then that shouldn't be a problem - you won't be able to redownload anything from the Australian store unless you return to Australia anyway.

  • After updating Firefox I keep getting a 3259 error message trying to download songs from I Tunes

    After using Firefox for quite some time after one of the updates, I can no longer download songs from ITunes, it gives me an error message 3259. ITunes says it is coming from my software. Any suggestions?

    Not there aren't any special settings for this. You just use the Open In feature to save the document into Pages. You could have a font in the document that Pages doesn't like, maybe something that you copied and pasted from somewhere into the document that went corrupt. But there is nothing special about the way that you save a Word document into Pages. You save it like you save any document or file into a compatible app.
