Re-installed purchased music

purchased a album yesterday and accidently deleted one of the songs.  I have tried to download it again but I am getting the following message appear on screen.  This device is already associated with an apple ID. You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different apple id for 46 days.  I have checked and I have only the one Apple ID.  Can anyone help.

You purchase one and only one download ( just like when you buy a cd from a store).  It is then your responsibility to copy/move/backup the music wherever you like.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything on the new drive.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases.

  • Request timed out when purchasing music. Fresh install of Win7.

    For the past couple months I have have not been able to purchase music off iTunes without first going into Add/Remove programs and doing a "Repair" to iTunes. Windows Firewall wasn't blocking anything from Apple and even with the firewall totally disabled I would still get the "Request timed out" error. And at the same time I'm getting these errors, a Podcast can be in the background downloading or I can be previewing a song! I eventually gave up and just figured its some random windows bug that isn't very common or its just another example of iTunes sucking for Windows and Apple not caring. I just purchased most of my music off AmazonMP3 which I've been doing more and more of anyway.
    Yesterday I installed a new HDD and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium from my retail disc. I Installed all the updates then proceeded to install my software and put all my media back in-place. I'm a backup neat-freak so all this happen pretty easily and fast. I purchased a song off iTunes and was pleased to see it working again. Well here I am again suddenly having the issue with the connection timing out when purchasing a song. Firewall is configured fine and again I even disabled it. I know its not Windows now as there haven't been any new Drivers or Updates installed since I last purchased a song. I even tried different network adapters! What the heck is going on?

    This error is specific to RAS. The default CORBA request timeout is 10 minute = 600000 ms. When the RAS SDK does not get the reponse back from RAS server in 600000 ms it throws this message. Why it works in InfoView\CMC what I believe you refer to as "Front End' application is because InfoView\ CMC don't use RAS.
    1. First make sure that a smaller report wich runs pretty fast ( 1-2 min) works. This will confirm that there is no connectivitiy issues between RAS and RAS SDK.
    2. If you get the efrror for every single report, even the smaller ones, make sure the box running RAS and RAS SDK code( in case they are 2 different) can ping each other with IP, shortname and FQDN. If there is a firewall between them, the RAS port needs to be opened for bidirectional communication. By default RAS chooses a random port for communication with SDK but within CMC you can configure it to use a specific port and open it.
    3. If the issue is specific only to reports that are long running, typically more than 10 minutes, then you need to inclease the CORBA timeout to a value more than what the reports typically would take to process. This is done on client code side or IIS in this case.
    Here are the steps:
    Make the following changes on the application server/system.
    Open RegEdit by going to Start > Run and typing in regedit.exe. Then click Ok.
    Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Report Application Server\Client SDK\CorbaAdapter
    Change the value of SendRequestTimeout(ms) to 100000.
    Change the value of WaitReplyTimeout(ms) to 6,000,000 ms. The default value is 600,000 ms and may not be long enough.
    Restart IIS by going to Start > Run and typing in iisreset. Then click Ok.
    Retry the failing application.

    This error should be easy to fix

    Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

  • Had old PC with iTunes including music from my CDs, want to transfer it all to iTunes installed on my new PC...so far it only seems to be letting my load "purchased music"...how do I also salvage numerous other songs on my iPhone to my new PC/iTunes?

    How do I bring music from my CDs in iTunes from an old PC to iTunes recently installed on my new PC?  The music is all on my iPhone as well.

    To clarify, on my iPhone and in iTunes on my old PC I have a combination of purchased music from the iTunes store and music I had imported several years ago from my collection of music CDs.  It appears if I now sync from my new PC via iTunes, it will wipe all of the music from my iPhone and then sync up only the music I've purchased from the iTunes Store.

  • Itunes is asking that I edit payment info, but will not accept any changes to allow me to purchase music? I have changed cards, reentered information, uninstalled and re-installed Itunes. Nothing is working, what do I need to do?

    See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Purchased Music won't play on Re-installed iTunes

    O.K. here is what happened
    1. My iMac was out of space for storing my music library and was giving me warnings etc.
    2. I purchased an external hard drive to store all the music files on while still playing them through the iTunes on the older(10.2.8)iMac.
    3. On my own, I attempted to do this but ended up deleting the iTunes on the iMac with all the music. The music folders were still safe however.
    4. With the help of a technical minded friend, we managed to successfully do what I had intended, which was to move the music the the ex. hard drive and reopen in iTunes.
    5. Now that that is all working I have one BIG problem left...
    It will not play any purchased songs from either the iMac's original iTunes or the tracks that I used my zip drive to move from my PC to the original iTunes.
    The message reads that I am "unauthorized" to play these tracks-which still work on the PC! I type my password to authorize and it takes me to an "Upgrade now" page for iTunes 7.2 which I am unable to get because of the computers old operating system...
    The purchased music was working on the same iTunes as before (4.7.1) previous to when I deleted and reinstalled the same version.
    So I am wondering if there is a way around this to get the music working again. It doesn't even show on my iPod now.
    When I look for places to authorize it again or see how many computers are, in fact, authorized- it says 4 are authorized but there is only "Deauthorize Computer" but no "Authorize" to be found.
    Help would be muuuuuuuuuch appreciated-the guy from 1-800-APPLE-CARE said I have to buy a whole new operating system. I just think there is a way to do this without buying Tiger for nearly $200...it was working fine on what I have before this whole ordeal!!!
    Arg.
    Well thanks for reading and I hope somebody can help me!
    Thanks again

    Probably you have had a problem with loading the songs from iTunes onto your iPod. Also, explain a little more: does your iPod play no songs correctly? And how many songs do you have on iTunes, and how many on both iPods?
    How long have you had iTunes, and do you know how to load iTunes items correctly onto an iPod? I think we need to get a little more specific here.
    I'd like to help, though.

  • Finding purchased music after installing a new hardrive with old one acting

    My old hard drive lost its windows OP but it still has all the info on it. I use it as a slave for my new drive but I can't find the purchased music I bought from iTunes in the hidden folders on it.itunes still has a record of my purchased music but will not let me re-download it. How do I get this music BACK that I paid money for?
    Message was edited by: Madcustomer

    If you are using (or were using) Windows XP or Vista then the music files should be located in X:\Documents and Settings\USER NAME\My Documents\My Music\iTunes where "X" is the drive letter assigned to your old drive and "USER NAME" is the user account name that was used with iTunes. For your future use, this is why it is important to make backups of your data. iTunes provides an easy way to backup your media library to disc. once you have copied over the music to your new HDD, you will need to import it to iTunes and then re-authorize that computer. Open iTunes and select "File" from the menu then click "Add Folder to Library". this will open a window to select the folder to import. browse to your "My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music" folder (if that is where you copied the music back to) and click OK. After the music is added back into you iTunes you need to authorize the PC again. Select "Store" from the menu and then click "Sign In..." and enter the Apple ID used to purchase the music. Once signed in to your account, Select "Store" from the menu and then click "Authorize Computer". Now try to play some music that was purchased through iTunes to make sure everything is working. If so now would be a good time to backup your music. To do this Select "File" from the menu and then click "Back Up to Disc..." and select if you want to backup your whole libary or just purchased music. Then use either CD-Rs or DVD+-R media to backup your music. Hope it works out for you.

  • "Error downloading purchased music. Disk could not be read or written to.

    I just purchased an album. It downloaded 23 of the 25 tracks until it gave me this error: "There was an error downloading your purchased music. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I double checked my hard drive space and found I had about 1 gig left, which is a small percentage of my harddrive, but plenty of space for a few songs. But, just to be sure, I deleted an old iMovie project to free up another 20 gigs. I restart the iMac and ran iTunes.
    iTunes told me, "The file 'iTunes Library' does not appear to be a valid music library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your music library and renamed this file to 'iTunes library (Damaged).'" I pressed Ok to this message and the next, which asked if I wanted to download the rest of my purchased music. I held out hope that the songs would download -- that the iTunes and wonderously repaired itself.
    Nope. It seems to actually download the songs, but fails to actually write them to disk. I check my permissions for the iTunes Library folder and I have read & write access. Furthermore, I ran Repair Permissions from Disk Utility. Still, no dice.
    So, I thought I'd purchase a second album, just to see if it was the two songs (maybe corrupted). Now, I can't get any songs out of the new album in addition to the original two misfit songs. It seems that whatever happened has no prevented me from downloading and saving anything from the Music Store.
    I am beginning to fear a hard drive failure, though everything else seems not to care (including iMovie 6). Does anyone have any other tips to offer? I'll give anything a try at this point. If worse comes to worse, I'll travel to my local Apple Store Genius Bar and see what they can do.
    Thanks in advance.

    Answered my own question. After I thought I had tried everything, it occurred to me to Verify Disk. Doing so revealed a minor bitmap error. So, using my trusty install disk, I booted my machine to the disk and repaired it.
    After the repair, I started iTunes and was able to download my songs. Unfortunately, my original library file was permanently damaged, so I had to start with a clean one. However, if the worst thing to happen to me in all this is that I have to redefine my playlists, then I'm better off.
    I hope this thread helps someone in the future.

    No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
    But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
    Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
    By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
    That would depend on what you are trying to do.

  • Cannot transwer new purchased music to ipod on new computer

    We have a new computer that we cannot sync our new music purchased today to our ipod. We installed and syncd itunes 2 months ago when we got the computer, but I think this is the first time we have tried to purchase items on it. I say 'we' as this is my mom and dads issue.
    They originally shared an apple ID. Apple ID 1 was linked to the ipod. Then they needed their own IDs so apple ID2 was created and the IPod was synced to it as that is the account inwhich new content would be purchased. Apple ID1 stayed the same. The new music we bought was on AppleID2. All music shows in previously purchased. It also shows under library/music. We cannot get the newly purchased music onto the IPod. We hit sync and it does not update the new music. I can not drag and drop it on the ipod or in the playlist which it is intended for. I deleted the music and downloaded it again and its still the same issue. i signed on to apple ID1 and still could not move the content on to the ipod.
    IPod touch generation model MC086LL ios 4.2.1
    I do not know what Itunes they are using but I assume its up to date on a 2 month old computer that didnt ask to be update upon load up.
    Any help would be appreciated. Any questions feel free to ask.

    Post in the iPod forum.

  • I want to tranfer non purchased music from my iphone 4s back onto my PC that I have re-formatted due to errors.

    I want to tranfer non purchased music from my iphone 4s back onto my PC that I have re-formatted due to errors.
    I have backed up the iphone onto my newly installed version of itunes.
    All the purchased albums/songs have been tranferred.
    I tried to tranfer by ticking the sync box but its says it will wipe the iphone and replace it with the new library which has only a fraction of my 1000+ songs.
    I have read many reviews that say it can be done with a third party program but when I looked into this they offer free evaluation but want about £20 for the program but feel this can be done at no cost.
    The itunes is saying my iphone can only be synced to one PC but the original one is wiped.
    Am I right in thinking I should go ahead with syncing the iphone then do the restore. Im just worried that once its synced the music and photos/videos will be gone forever.
    If I go down this route, I think I still need to know how to tranfer the non purchased songs from my iphone back onto the PC with the newly reinstalled itunes.

    Then you will have to purchase 3rd party  software.

    No. You will lose the music that's on the phone if you do that.
    The iPhone is not a backup device. Restore the music to your computer using the backup you should have made of your data before you re-formatted it. If you didn't back up your computer, you will have to pay for software to try and extract it from the phone.

    It is probably not wise to leave your e-mail and phone number on a public forum.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    You purchase one download only.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

  • Can i get my purchased music on a new pc?

    I've recently gotten a new computer, and want to put my purchased music on the new itunes on that new computer.
    is there a way to do this?

    Make sure you deauthorise your purchased music in iTunes first, unless you intend to use your old PC for playing music. I couldn't because my old PC is broken, and now I used up 2 of the 5 machine limit.
    The method I used was to buy a Belkin easy transfer cable (XP to Vista version in my case) and follow the instructions. You need to install the supplied Software on your old machine before you try it. Run the Easy transfer utility in Vista (assuming thats your new OS)

  • Duplicating purchased music on two computers?

    I use two computers and sometimes I purchase music from the iTunes Store using one or the other. But, the music I purchased on one computer doesn't show up on the other computer and visa a versa. Is there a method of showing all the music I've purchased on both computers no matter what computer it was originally purchased on?

    Downloaded music will only appear on the computer used for the download. To get these files on your other computer you have to physically install the files on the computer (unless you have a shared network storage drive). To move the songs between computers, I would use an USB flash drive, copy the file to this drive and then copy it into iTunes on the other computer (Edit > Add File). Make sure you physically copy the file to the other computer and not just the path to the song on the flash drive. You can then authorize the computer to play these songs. (iTunes allows you to authorize up to five computers to play your purchased music.)
    If you'd prefer to import an unprotected file, you can burn the purchased music to a CD and then just rip it into iTunes on your other computer.
