Delete the reference to them from within iTunes and then redownload them.

Help! How do I re-download past itunes purchases???

My old ipod crashed and I lost hundreds of songs of which I had not backed up to a computer. A few months ago I saw them on itunes with a little cloud next to them so I thought "great I'll buy another ipod and restore the songs from icloud". So I had bought the new ipod but never got around to restoring my old purchases. Since then I had downloaded new songs onto my ipod until my ipod said it needed a software update which I did. Now I've lost all those songs! I have no clue where to find the songs that I saw a few months back in itunes with the icloud next to them. There must be a way to re-download all your past purchases but how?

How can I download previous iTunes purchases onto a new iPod using someone else's computer?

Hi,
I've brought an ipod shuffle and need to download my itunes purchases but I don't have access to my own computer for another couple weeks. How can I download from itunes? I'm getting a message that the friend's computer I'm using can't use a different apple ID for 90 days - I'll be long gone by then and back with my own computer!!!
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Multiple people can indeed use multiple Apple IDs on the same computer in multiple user accounts as long as they do not use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or re-download any past purchases. However, if you'll read the KB article I posted a link to you'll see that for the purposes of those services a computer can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days. If the OP associates their friend's computer with their Apple ID and downloads purchases from the purchase history the owner of the computer will be locked out from using iTunes Match, automatic downloads or re-downloading any past purchases.
It's not that the friend will be unable to use iTunes at all, but what the OP wants to do will associate their friend's computer to thier Apple ID for 90 days which may cause the friend some inconvinence.

HT5731 how do i download a itunes purchased movie onto a flash drive

HOW DO I DOWNLOAD AN ITUNES PURCHASED MOVIE ONTO A FLASH DRIVE

If you want to back it up to the flash drive, download it normally, locate the downloaded file, and drag it there.
If you want the active iTunes library on the drive, locate it in the Finder or Windows Explorer, drag it there, launch iTunes with the Option(Mac OS X) or Shift(Windows) keys held down, and point it there.

HT201272 My iPhone says I have to wait another 36 days to download past music purchases ,and when I download an app it loads halfway then goes all the way back to waiting then keeps doing that same process but never downloads. Help ?

I didn't do anything to it it has just stopped working ???

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.

How can I download previous iTunes purchases from older apple id after my Mac is associated with my current one?

I have 4 MacBooks running MtnLion, iPad3, iPhones 2,3gs,4,and 4s,Time Capsule, and Apple TV....
I have 2 Apple IDs [email protected], and [email protected]
Almost all of my media is associated with gmail Apple ID. I want to retrieve my previous purchases, but don't need this Apple id aside from that.
All of my computers and devices are associated with [email protected] id (I've set automatic downloads on all devices for [email protected])
Now itunes will not let me download purchases I made on [email protected] for 60 days.....
I actually wiped my 15" Mac pro, installed MtnLion and set it up with the me@gmail Apple ID (both icloud and itunes) just to get my previous itunes purchases. I downloaded about half, and then got sidetracked. Now when I go into itunes on it and try to download the rest, it says this computer is associated wth another apple id and can't download for 60 days!!!
I tried deauthorizing, but to no end.

Past Itunes Purchases, Help.

I'm trying to download past purchases from my iTunes account onto my computer. It's telling me, "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 75 days." Do I have to wait 75 days before I can redownload my music i've purchased back onto my own computer?

I want to download my previous purchases from my computer to my IPhone 4. Everytime I plug my phone into my computer it says Apple mobile devices service is not started. How do I fix this?

Hello EFierro79,
I find it easiest to download my purchases directly to my iPhone. You don't even need to connect your iPhone to iTunes. As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the items, you will not be charged.
You can find the steps to do this under the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS" in the following article:

Additionally, you can follow the steps in the article below to resolve the error "This [device] cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started."

HT201272 How to download past music purchases if some of the songs have got erased from the library. Do not have a cloud backup.

Some of my past music purchases have got erased from my library. I do not have a cloud back up. Can i download the songs again from the Music Store or I have to repurchase them?

Click the link above (Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store), which takes you to the page you came from, and follow the instructions.

Cannot download previous iTunes purchases

I have purchased 172 songs, which I can see on the iTunes Purchased list. However, iTunes on my PC only shows 73 songs have been downloaded. I have tried to re-download these via iCloud, but when trying to do so it is showing the songs have already been downloaded. Looking at my old iPod most of the 'older' purchases are stored on the device. The iPod will not sync with iTunes on my PC. When connecting the iPod I am informed the iPod is synched with a different library. My iPad also has different purchased items. I had to reinstall Windows 7 on my machine, which would appear to be the cause of the problem.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I am trying to download previous iTunes purchases to my iPad using the cloud. I had a mobile me account and I have another apple id. I keep getting this message "This device is already associated with an Apple ID"

I get this message "If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you cannot autodownload or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days.
If I use my MobileMe login I have no purchases, so I am using my regular Apple ID. I used my MobileMe login when setting up iCloud because it wanted an email address.
Please explain.

The same thing happened to me because I had an Apple ID that was not an email address under which I had made all my purchases and a me.com address that I initially used to set up my iCloud account. If you want to get all your purchases from the Cloud, then you need to do a couple of things: first, change the Apple ID that you purchased all your stuff under to be an email address. You can do that yourself by going to the page where you change your Apple ID. I think it's applied.apple.com but if that's not it, just search for "My Apple ID" in the search box on the support page. Sign in with your existing ID -- the one that is not an e-mail address -- and change it to an e-mail address. Be sure to remember this Apple ID. Then create your iCloud account using this Apple ID. You should be able to get all your stuff to download using this account.
The problem with this is now you will NOT have an iCloud account associated with your MobileMe account. If you're OK with that, you're good to go. I think you still have time to manually download all your stuff from MobileMe.
Apple phone support walked me through this, so if my instructions are confusing you can call them and get them to walk you through it too. It's a common problem.
