Recovering Purchased Items

My laptop hard drive recently failed, without any warning. I was not able to backup the most recent materials.
I have purchased hundreds of items from iTunes in the past several years. However, under "Purchased" in iTunes Store, only 35 most recent items are showing, and it says there are no more items to download.
Is there a way to recover all the other items that I have purchased in the past?
Thanks for the help!

Hello yenujeel
If you have the latest version of iTunes, all of your purchases would show up in the Music section. If you are still not seeing them, look for the emails of your purchases and report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Recovering purchased items on a different laptop

my husband's laptop which had the itunes on it crashed. he has to use recovery disks on it which might wipe the hard drive. can i download itunes on my laptop and recover all the purchased items? if so how?

easiest way is install itunes, authorize on itunes store, then plug in any apple device and transfer purchases
of course the action is limited to the items your husband loaded on the device...
music cannot be recovered (ie downloaded again) , you need to have a backup

How do I restore or recover purchased items that have disappeared from my iTunes?

I have a number of purchased items from iTunes that appear in my overall list with an ! (exclamation point) in front of them. They can't be located on the computer. I see them in my purchased list (also with the exclamation point).
Is there a way to restore or recover them?
Thanks

How can i recover purchased items in iTunes?

I'm on a new laptop and I wanted to recover some audiobooks i had purchased in iTunes previously. When I look in my account purchase history I see the receipts for the items I'm looking for. When I got to the purchased section of the library no audiobooks show up. The music albums i purchased a few days before or after the books are there and ready to be downloaded, but not the audiobooks. How do i recover those?

iTunes Store audiobooks can't be freely redownloaded. You need to transfer them from the old computer, or restore them from a backup of it, or buy them again.

You can download your iTune purchases by going to the iTunes Store > Purchased.
You have to be signed in with the Aple ID the purchased were made with and the computer needs to be authorized for that account.

You cannot use the iTunes store there any longer just as you can no longer use the food store you used to visit. Unless you can change your country back to the one you used to use you no longer have access to purchases made there which is why it is important you keep backups of all purchases made there.
The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

From your backup.

I have changed my Apple ID, but then I cannot access all the apps and books I purchased in the past with my previous ID? How can I recover my purchased items?

I have changed successfully my Apple ID. But when opening iTune with my new Apple ID, I don't see all the apps and books I purchased before changing the Apple ID. I appreciate if someone would let me know why and how can I access to my purchased items again.
Thanks.

If you are referring to an iDevice, sign out of your new Apple ID and sign back in with your old one - they should all be there.

I am on a shared computer with several profiles. I had to delete my profile and create a new one. Now, my question. It transferred to Purchased Items to the new iTunes, so how do I get the rest of the songs to transfer to new iTunes?

It sounds like you might have broken links to your content. Either repair these by putting the files you've recovered where iTunes expects to find them or delete the broken entries then go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on This Computer, and click the download links.
If you have an Apple device see also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Can I transfer my purchased items to a new apple device

My 3rd Generation Ipod Touch stopped working recently and it looks like it can't be repaired and is no longer any use, I am wondering if it is possible to recover my downloaded / purchased items onto an new Ipod Touch?
I plugged it into charge in a mains wall charger and was actually using it as well, next there was a pop from the charger and the Ipod went off. I contacted a repair clinic and they suggested it may just be the battery might have gone pop, so I left it to them the investigate. They were unable to do anything with it.

The iTunes backup does not included synced media like apps and music. If iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Since iTunes can't see your old iPod you can't get anything off the iPod.

How to recover purchased ringtones after wiping phone and laptop

From your computer backup.
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).

10.6 upgrade deleted all playlists, purchased items, podcasts

Hi there
I just upgraded to 10.6 - and was horrified to find out when opening iTunes again, my playlists, podcasts, purchased items, etc weren't there. It's a total iTunes reboot! All my audio content is stored on an external HDD (yes, its plugged in) - though the iTunes Libraries are on my laptop.
Any idea how to recover these without having to go through the hassle of Time Machine?
Thanks

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library as iTunes Library (Corrupt) and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for tools to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
