Recently reloaded windows xp and can't find purchased songs..

I recently reloaded windows xp onto my computer, and I redownloaded iTunes and now I can't find any of the songs I had purchased before. Will someone please help me find the songs or figure out how to get them back??

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • I can't find purchased songs in Music Library or in Recently Added.  The purchases are on my account.

    I can't find purchased songs in Music Library or in Recently Added.  I have searched my library but they are not there.  Itunes says that all recently purchased items have been downloaded.  Where are the songs?

    I don't know how, but this problem resolved itself for me.  If you don't see the downloads go to Documents, My Music, iTunes and then scrounge around to see if you can find a file with new downloads in there.  Then you can drag them to the iTunes icon. 
    Then try shutting down iTunes, and your computer and restart to see if this issue fixes itself.  I know, only a Mackie would think that a computer could fix itself.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.

  • I installed windows 8 and can't find all my bookmarks etc. I tried reset but it didn't help. How can I restore my old info?

    I tried to find the database files from my old firefox on explorer 7 but any old files I tried came up as can not open or not found. I tried the suggestions from mozilla help about what files contain the info but got the same results. I did reset but all it did was give me the few new things I've done since installing windows 8.

    hello, did you install windows 8 on top of another operating system on a single machine and do you have any form of prior backup available?
    one thing you could try is to search the whole filesystem (make sure you include all locations, also hidden ones) for the term ''bookmarks*.json'' - if any results show up with a date in their filename that lies before the windows install, you can then likely import them into your current firefox profile.

  • Itunes won't open, Windows 7, and can't find SC Info to fix

    Worked through all the fixes, cannot find the SC INfo as the link suggests.

    Make sure you have checked "Show hidden files and folders"
    From the Start menu, click Computer.
    In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    Click the View tab.
    In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    Click OK.

  • Can't find purchased song in iPhone 5s playlist

    I purchased and downloaded two songs to my iPhone 5s from the iTunes store. When I check my "Songs" playlist and the list of "Artists," the songs do not appear; however, when I look under "Purchased" (under the "Store" tab), the songs are there and they've been downloaded. Consequently, the songs won't play in my car when my iPhone is paired via Bluetooth.
    Can anyone shed light on this please?? Thank you!!

    Make sure you are signing in with the same Apple ID and password you used to originally purchase the song.

  • I have a non intel G5 and would like to download i-tune songs that I have recently purchased. I have tried everything and can't find the downloads. Did this G5 just become obsolete with itunes? If not what is the problem?

    You can do it with Leopard but it depends upon the iTunes version which you did not reveal.  Also make sure you are looking in the right place for purchases.
    Consider buying a backup drive so you do not need to do this again.  If you are going to run old hardware and software you need to live differently because yes, at some time you will find your version of iTunes no longer works.  You're lucky it still works with Leopard.  As you can see, some versions still work with the iTunes Store but not for repeat downloading.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple recommends,  "... back up your iTunes library. " (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
    Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756#24176756
      Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right.
      Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/26364186#26364186)
      You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • I am using windows 7 and can't get the print drives to load for F2210 printer

    I am using windows 7 and can't get the print drives to load for F2210 printer and I keep receiving different fatal error codes.

    Hello @Imvertical 
    Welcome to the forums!
    I read about how you're attempting to install your Deskjet F2210 on your Windows 7 system and receive Fatal Error codes. I will do my best to help and make some suggestions for you to try. 
    To being, try a standard copy from the unit to see if it will copy. If copies work, continue troubleshooting. If not, let me know what happened when you made a copy.
    Next:
    Perform a Level 3 uninstall.
    There are 2 ways you can run the uninstall:
    From Original installation CD:
    1. Insert CD into drive, and then cancel the installer
    2. Click Start and open 'Computer', and then right click on the CD drive and open
    3. Open folder Util
    4. Open folder CCC
    5. If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
    6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
    7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
    8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    9. Download the full feature software and drivers: HP Deskjet F2200/F2224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver
    10. Run the download to reinstall the printer
    If software was downloaded and extracted to your system:
    1. Click Start and type %temp% in the run field
    2. Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356) (If there is more than one, choose the most recent folder)
    3. Open folder Util
    4. Open folder CCC
    5. If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
    6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
    7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
    8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    9. Download the full feature software and drivers: HP Deskjet F2200/F2224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver
    10. Run the download to reinstall the printer
    Please let me know if the installation worked after the Level 3 uninstall.
    Good luck and have a nice Wednesday!

  • How do I view what slide I'm on out of how many I have total in keynote? I know on powerpoint it's at the bottom right of the window but I can't find it on keynote nor can I find the option to make it appear. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Your steps so far are OK but you may want to try:
    1 Trash your user library Caches folder (House Icon with short name in Finder window (hard drive window)GOTO:House icon > Library folder > caches folder
    2 Trash the com.apple.Safari.plist file in User library > preferences folder > Safari.plist as well as removing the library Safari folder its self.
    3 you can selectivly re-install Safari 2.0 from your OS Tiger Install disk 1, (see Knowledge base article 301229 for how to just select the Safari Application) without doing a complete system Archive and Install.
    4. Create a new Test user account on the system and test how Safari responds in the Test user, see if its a user related issue and not system issue.
    5. Still no Safari response? have to do an Archive and install (not preserving user and network settings)article 107120
    PS. Issue may be related to actual internet connection connectivity, power cycle cable modem and router or airport if using one as well as the computer(keep unplugged for 3-5 min) and plug the cable modem in and then the router/airport then power on the computer. Do the Airport Admin utiliy (applications, utilities on HD_1)update.
    - do a hard reset of airport knowledge base article 108044(Express base) and 107451 (Extreme base)
    - Check with internet provider for connection issues "cannot find server" ect.

  • I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size but It.

    Hi to the Mac Folks,
    I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. This is regardless of either printer selected.
    I primarily print photos from Photoshop CS5.  The term Page Set-up has gone missing in the file pull down menu. Can't make any choices  There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size paper format. Either being too large or too small.
    Saw a 2008 locked issue about this however none of the help fit my situation, options discussed are not available to me.
    Preview has no "Page Setup" - or does it?
    Does the constant struggle with computer compatability weirdness issues ever end or is it a enslavement scheme?

    Hey,
    if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders.  You can then navigate all the contents as normal.
    HTH,
