What should I do when iTunes won't let me redownload a song I previously purchased?

I have previously bought many songs and some of them aren't displayed as "purchased". When I manually try to find them in iTunes, they appear as if they have never been purchased before. HOWEVER iTunes does offer "Complete My Album", which is extremely odd...
PLUS
One song actually appears as "Purchased" but the button will not let me download it. When trying to download it on iPhone I get message - you have already purchased this item, do you want to buy it again? But it is not in the purchased section!

Hey michalfromcelebration!

    What do you mean by 'will not let me download' ? Is the buy/download button greyed out ? Are you getting any error messages ?

    AlexCarey, I've been having issues purchasing recently and place a number of calls to the support team. On Oct. 5th, and on my own decision, I went into my itunes profile and re-entered my credit card expiration date and security code. (Notice, it is not displayed for safety measures.) Today, I received an email from Apple support verifying if I made changes made to my account. For the heck of it, I logged back into itunes; click "Buy". It's working again after three days of failure. However, diagnosis still displays "Secure link to itunes store failed". Very confusing state of affairs, lately. See my post on "Itunes dilemma"

  • ITunes won't let me edit the song titles

    I click on a song title, and click the Get Info and it won't let me edit the song.
    The text is light gray instead of being black. When it's black I know I can edit it.
    I don't know how this happened... can someone please help me??

    Its one of two things,
    1) You don't have the rights to those files/location
    or
    2) The file is read only. Don't change just change the folder rights, go right to the files and uncheck readonly.
    Of course it could be something else I'm not aware of.

  • ITunes won't let me add new songs to established playlists - what's wrong?

    I'm more than frustrated. Yesterday, everything worked fine! I created 3 playlists and did the drag/drop of songs into the playlists. Today, I bought more music. Those songs show up in my library. But ... when I try to drag/drop the new songs into the established playlists, the playlists don't update. No new songs.
    iTunes 6.0.4.2
    Windows XP Home
    Thanks!
      Windows XP  

    I'm really a novice at this ... I just found the added songs. I thought they would be put in alphabetically just like the first round. They weren't ... they were added on the bottom.
    Sorry for my stupid question. ::sigh::

  • How can I sync my ipad when itunes won't let you

    I am trying to sync my ipad and when I go to the itunes it just somes up inthe store.  There are no options on the top for anything.  what the heck happened to it and how can I get it back??!

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • Itunes won't let me download some songs without 7.6.2

    When i attempt to download some songs, i get a message "You must download version 7.6.2." I download it, restart the computer and it still does it! I don't know what else to do. Other songs i download with no problem. I'm running windows xp.

    Go to Help->About iTunes and determine what version of iTunes you are actually running.
    If it isn't 7.6.2, you are not installing it correctly.
    If it is 7.6.2, I would recommend contacting iTunes support.

  • ITunes won't let me redownload a movie.

    I recently got a new computer and I restored my iPod but did not back it up because I didn't think there was anything important on it. There was a movie that was on it and I want to get it back but when I go to buy it in the iTunes store it brings me to the downloads section because I have already purchased the movie once before but I don't see the movie in the list.

    You only get one download ( sam policy as Wal-Mart and Amazon). It is your responsibility to copy and/or move it wherever you want it.
    From the itunes store terms of service:
    "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."
    Where is your backup copy of all of your important info/music/pics/docs/files/etc.? Use this to put the movie back.
    If for some reason you have failed to do this ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

  • Itunes won't let me download my song purchased on other device

    I downloaded a song on my ipad and now I can't get it on my imac. It gives me this message -
    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 74 days.
    I am on my same account and find it crazy I can't get all my songs back on my computer without waiting for 3 months!!
    Please help

    Try this and see if it works. Select the song, under the Advance menu item (ok I am using version 6 under Mac OS, but might be the same for you), pick "Convert ID3 Tags..."
    Click on the box to change the "ID3 tag version" and try a different version. "None" is probably the best bet. Then exit and try to edit the stuff again, play the track and see if the info now sticks.

  • ITunes won't let me import songs from folders

    hey for some reason iTunes won't let me import some songs, but it will others. I've checked and there is no difference between the songs, they're both MP3's, they have the same quality and they're even by the same artist!
    Any ideas why and how I can fix it are helpful.

    I having the same problem. I noticed that some videos were missing from my itunes TV Shows playlist. Also, when I tried downloading a file into my ipod, I got an error message stating that the file was not compatiable with my iPod. Only I got the file from iTunes! I've tried deleting everything and reloading with the same results. It will not upload several files. Most of which are already AAC. I've tried adding, importing, and copy and paste with all resulting in failure.
    This is becoming a total pain in the rear. If it's not one thing, it's another. I mean every since iTunes 7, the bugs keep mounting, and that before I switch to a Vista OS.

  • ITunes won't let me play songs I purchased

    Hello,
    I am trying to play music in my iTunes that I had purchased via my AOL account, and iTunes will not let me play them. The screen comes up to sign in with my member ID and it will not let me access the song. Prior to today, I never had this problem as I got rid of AOL and now have a new Apple Id. Does anyone know why itunes is not letting me play prior songs that I purchased from another account?
    Thank you

    I'm having the same problem. I had an earthlink account ages ago, and made my first purchases with this account. Now I can't play any of the music I purchased with that old account - according to my last iPod update, that's 86 songs, and I really don't want to type in my new authorization info 86 times.
    My earthlink account has been dead for years. This issue just showed up. I think it may be related to the iTunes 7.x upgrade.
    Can someone please tell us how to tell iTunes to authorize all purchases made with an old account? Requiring us to re-authorize one song at a time is amateur. I expect more from Apple.

  • HT1338 My iTunes won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I need an updated iTunes, but when I try to download the new iTunes, it says that my Mac software (10.5.8) is too old. However, there are no software updates available. What can I do?

    It depends on what iPhone you have.
    If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
    If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.
