Trying to download previously purchased items to new computer. Found them but there is no download option. Instr say must be password used when originally purchased. Could that be problem? I've changed mine. I did not back up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, johnandsteph. 
You are allowed a total of 5 computers at a time to be authorized to play content.  It is not necessary to deauthorize an old computer if you are attempting to add a new one unless you have reached your five total allotment.  From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer and enter your Apple ID and password.  At that point you should be able to access your previous purchases.  I have included two links listed below.  The first one goes over authorization and deauthorization.  The second article covers how to download past purchases. 
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you are still unable to successfully authorize a computer, you may need to reach out to us via Contact Apple Support.
Hope this helps,

    What type of item is it ? What you can re-download will show under the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. As long as they are still in the store then your apps and ibooks should appear there, and potentially music, films and tv shows (media can't be re-downloaded in all countries) - audiobooks and ringtones are currently one-time only downloads, so they won't appear.
    If they don't show then have you still got copies of the items somewhere e.g. on your old computer (copying between computers) or on a backup of your downloads ?

  • HT201272 how do i download my previous purchases on my new computer ??

    i had to sale my phone and they deleted the music ..... ugghh ..... any way i need to find a way to send it to my new computer !!!! HELP !!!!

    Read the article you linked.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer?

  • TS1474 I can't find previously purchased audiobooks on my computer, these downloads ar older than 90 days.

    I can't find previously purchased audiobooks on my computer, these downloads ar older than 90 days.

    I have no clue what you mean. If you downloaded the audiobooks in iTunes on your computer or of you transferred the audiobooks from the iPad to iTunes via the transfer purchases feature, the books should be in your iTunes library,
    If you are looking to download them again in the purchased section of iTunes, you have to buy them again. Audiobooks cannot be downloaded again for free. They are not part of iTunes in the cloud.

    how do i download previous purchases to my new computer. my old computer

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
    If you are in the U.S. you can use the cloud:

  • I purchased a new computer, i want to install the CS5 i previously purchased onto my new computer. How do I do this? Do I have to repurchase the product?

    I purchased a new computer, i want to install the CS5 i previously purchased onto my new computer. How do I do this? Do I have to repurchase the product?

    You don't have to repurchase CS5. If you still have the old computer, you should open one of the CS5 applications and choose Help > Deauthorize to remove using that computer from your license.
    If you no longer have access to the old computer, you can do this with web chat here:
    Serial number and activation support
    If it's a new computer, you can install from the original discs or installer. If you don't have a copy, you can download it here:

  • Can't re-download a previously purchased item that didn't properly download

    I recently used a free code YLHKTEW39RPY to get a Warped Tour Sampler. The order number was MGJG03FQLJ and it was on 6/27/09. The Invoice number was 212002416301. It came with 10 songs, but only 2 of them even downloaded. I tried "checking for purchases" to see if they would re-download but iTunes tells me that all avaiable purchases are downloaded, yet 8 of the songs don't show up in my library. I went into my purchase history and reported a problem but that didn't seem to do anything. How do I get the other 8 songs to download?

    Welcome to AD!
    Reporting via Purchase Histroy doesn't always work. Also, if you've reported a porblem once, you can't do it again on the same item if you get no reply.
    Try this page, instead:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
    Make sure any reply isn't going to a spam/junk folder, and give them 48 hours.

  • Upload previously purchased itunes on new computer

    I just purchased a new macbook pro this evening and was wondering if it was possible for me to upload all of my previously purchased itunes songs onto this computer without having to use an ipod or an external hard drive. I read somewhere that you had to request a special transfer on apple.com? Is this true?

    No, this is not true. You get ONE download. It is your responsibility to backup your own music, and to move it where you want it.
    You can use your backup copy to do this, home share ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 ), migration assistant ( if your old computer is a mac.
    "PRODUCTS CAN BE DOWNLOADED ONLY ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED OR RENTED FROM THE ITUNES STORE THAT ARE STORED IN YOUR SYSTEM."

  • Problems transferring previously purchased music to new computer through icloud

    I have transferred my itunes music to new computer, but purchased music does not appear. How can I restore purchased music? The link ´purchased´in the store does not show music, only movies and apps

    iTunes prefs > Store.
    Tick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    If it's not there, log out of iTunes store then log back in.
    Now select Movies and there will be a column with a cloud.
    Click the cloud icon to download.

  • Installing previously purchased program on new computer, how?

    Last year I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Student and Teacher Edition for mac.  Now I have a new computer.  How do I transfer or reinstall the program on the new computer?  Thanks

    Thanks for the answer.  I am logged in – we do not have a software download – we have a subscription to Acrobat Pro.  If you look under my plans, I have 3 subscriptions but they do not have anything but an order #.  Is that what we need?
