Retrieving bought music from the apple store to iTunes

Does anybody know how to retrieve bought music from the apple store into your iTunes? I reinstalled iTunes and I can't seem to retrieve my music I bought from the store. Can anyone help?

When you reinstalled, did you erase the entire drive? If not, your music should still be in the iTunes folder in your Documents -> Music folder. Take a look there. If it's there, you can get it back into the iTunes library listing by using the Add to Library command and selecting the iTunes Music folder.
Hope this helps.

Can I use credit that I have with the App store to purchase music from the Apple store in iTunes?

I have credit with the App Store on my iPhone can I use that credit to purchase music from the Apple store in iTunes and if so how>

The credit that is on your account can be used to buy items from the app store, iTunes store, ibookstore and (if you have a Mac) the Mac App Store. As long as you are buying the music for yourself (you can't use an account's balance to gift content) then your account's balance should be used before your credit card is charged - just click on the price to buy it and it's price should be deducted from your balance.

How do I use credit that I have with the App store to purchase music from the Apple store in iTunes?

That's the question - I understand that I can use credit that i have on the App store to make purchases in the iTunes Apple Store but I dont know how to do it. If I select and album there is no option presented to allow me to access the App Store credit to make the payment. How is it done?

It's done automatically, you don't need to select anything
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582 :
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

When your peruvian customers will be able to buy music from the apple store?

I am a customer from Peru and i can see that everyone in the world can buy music directly from his/her apple store in his/her country (USA, Spain,Canada, etc) but i cannot do it at the eperuvian store. I can buy hundreds of another apps but not any a single song, and this is just frustrating because i can change to another store buyt i cannot buy music!
I have gone to the local distributors but none seems to know the answer and it seems it is a big mistery when will this happen...
As a customer i cannot get the whole experience of apple and i am very desappointed.
Whay can´t we buy music yet? I would appreciate and answer because i would like to continue buying another of your products but this matter really is annoying to me.
Best Regards

Manuel,
That is not correct. iTunes operates about 120 country-specific stores. Many of the iTunes Stores do not sell music. Many countries do not have an iTunes Store at all.
I know it is frustrating. We do not know when it will come to Peru, as Apple does not announce its plans for future sales. However, you can buy MP3s from any online music retailer that operates in Peru, and add them to your iTunes library.

I bought my mac with iMovie in it when it comes time to upgrade it, it doesn't let me upgrade and says to sign into the account I bought it with, but it already came included when I bought it from the apple store. How can I upgrade it?

Like I said when I bought my mac in the apples store, iMovie was already included. When it comes time to upgrade it, it won't let me and it says to sign into the account I used to purchase it. But I didn't purchase it, it came along with the computer. How do I get it to upgrade?

Try opening the Mac App Store and go to the Purchases tab. See if you see the preinstalled iMovie App there. You may have to accept it into your Apple ID if you have not done so already. Then it should upgrade.

Brand new Macbook, bought games from the Apple store, won't install!!!!!!!!

Hello folks, I finally broke down and entered the "MacWorld". While visiting my local Apple Store, my son became engrossed in a couple of games that were available for play. After much begging, I bought him two, fun, educational games, both Mac ready. One game, the "School Zone Kindergarten" easily installed one disk (the "math" portion), no problem. However, the second disk (the "reading" portion), just clicked and made funny sounds and was kicked out without installing. I tried several times. The second game, "Sponge Bob Typing" does the same thing, whirrs and clicks around but doesn't install.
I'm guessing this is operator error (as usual), so could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I was told Mac's are super user friendly, so what gives? Does mine hate me or something? Please help! I have a pretty upset little boy staring at me here, with his big sweet brown eyes, like I'm supposed to be able to DO anything. It's killing me! Please help! And many, many THANKS!

Thanks for your response. The "genius" told me it would work, I wonder if they will take it back? I know they usually don't return opened software, but......
In your case, and this is only my opinion, they will take the software back, since it's obvious it would not work and they said it would. Besides, you are a very good customer now
Anyway, what do you think is causing the glitch with the other game?
Since you have to go back to return the software, bring it all with you, along with the computer, and show the geniuses the problem.
You are covered for all this.
I think once you get things purring, you will be quite happy with your new acquisition, as well as your son.
Be very very sure to create a standard user account for your son. Keep your admin account for yourself.

I did the latest download for my iPad and now I can not download anything from the App Store or iTunes. Please advice how I can fix this problem?

I downloaded the last update on my iPad and now I can not download from the apple store or iTunes. I just sits there and continues to act like it will but nothing happens. And then it times out and goes back to home screen. Have a 32 so have have plenty of room.
What would you advice I do? I purchased this iPad in dec 2013.

Double tap your home button to bring up the most recently used apps.
You'll see the app icon below and a screen shot of the app page above.
With your finger swipe the app page above the app icon upwards to fully close the apps (you should do this regularly).
Now, reboot your iPad. Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You won't lose any data or settings.
When your iPad comes back up, see if you can download again.

I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died. Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music. It is all grey at the top of the screen. Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id. So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised. if anyone can be of assistance then great!

I'm having a similar problem. I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order. Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy. When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too. No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop. I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't. I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help. I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

Hello i just came back from the apple store and they had to restore my phone and i just downloaded all my apps and music back but my photos that are on icloud i only got 80 out of 768 back. what do i do to get all of them back?

If you tried to restore to your iCloud backup and your photos didn't fully restore, first go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure it isn't still in the process of restoring.
If the restore is complete and all your photos weren't restored, all you can do is try restoring the backup again. You might try the solution posted by ezjules in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. This involves opening the photos app after the phone restarts and you provide the passwords for your Apple IDs, then leaving it open for the remainder of the restore process.

For some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store.

for some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store. my old iphone 4s audio jack was messed up but i just got a new one with my warranty , can anyone help me please.

It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

I bought an iPhone 5 from the Apple store with a new Sprint contract in Sept. 2012. I would like to know if I port my number to T-mobile and pay off my Early Termination fee with Sprint, will my iPhone 5 will be unlocked to use with T-mobile network?

As Ethmoid says, it is still a CDMA phone as I told you earlier, and it will not work with t-mobile. Even if Sprint unlocked the phone, it would only unlock the GSM side for international use. They will not unlock the GSM side for domestic use in the US.

I have bought a Belkin composite cable from the apple store but the picture is black and white? The tv connection does require the red yellow white cables and that is the one I bought

I have bought a Belkin composite cable from the apple store but the picture is black and white? The tv connection does require the red yellow white cables and that is the one I bought? Can any one help

You have the iPhone in your profile, but people's profiles here are often incomplete or very outdated. It's better to be specific. And part of the problem is that I can't find any Belkin composite cables for connecting an iPhone to a TV, either on the Apple Store or the Belkin site. The closest I found is this Belkin video cable, which doesn't specify exactly what kind of connection it is.
For the most relevant assistance, you've got to post in the iPhone forum and specify the cable by providing a link to exactly which cable you're using.

Can apple unlock an iPhone 4 that was bought from the apple store?

I bought an iPhone 4 last year from the apple store, my network provider cannot unlock it as I didn't get it through them. Hope someone can help.

Only the carrier (not Apple) can initiate the unlocking process. In the US, AT&T has not and will not unlock the iPhone for anyone for any reason.
If your network provider cannot or will not unlock your phone, then you phone cannot be unlocked. If you need an unlocked phone, sell yours and buy a factory unlocked phone.
