Why can't I download songs I have purchased in the past? I checked the account information (purchase history) and when I go into the iTunes Store and search for the song it wants me to buy it again and there is no way to just re-download it.

Can someone please tell me how to get those songs if I even can. I do not want to have to rebuy these songs that I already payed for

Hello Olivia,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iTunes purchases.  It sounds like you may have been looking in the Account Information page, but there is a separate Purchases section you can download the songs from.
I recommend downloading your purchases directly to your computer using the Purchases page in the iTunes Store using these steps:
Download previous iTunes Store purchases to an authorized computer
Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
In the page that appears, select a category. 
iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download. If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.
To download all available items, click Download All.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12491
Additionally, you can download the songs to your iPhone using the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" in this article:
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Hi..
    Check your debit or credit card account to see if the transaction went through, or if you purchased from the balance of a redeemed gift card, see if the amount of purchase was deducted.

  • Apple tv is the worst product ever, why can't I play movies I have purchased through iTunes?? It's terrible

    Apple TV is NOT ready for use...I have movies and TV shows I have purchased that won't play on Apple TV, what good is it?  I have authorized, deauthorized, logged in, logged out reauthorized until I am blue in the face and is still won't work.  What is APPLE trying to do with this product???
    The concept is great if Apple could get it to work.

    Unbelievable.  I just played the movies on every laptop around our house but Apple TV won't.  How can they even put their name behind a product like this?
    BTW our house has 2 iPads, an iMac, MacBook Air, a MacBook Pro, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, 3 iTouches, 3 Nanos and an orginal iPod so we are not novices to Apple.
    Unfortunate.

  • HT204088 I just had over 200 dollars in in app purchases takin out of my account! And never got the first email that they had been purchase! And there is no way my 3 year old can put my password in! What do I do!

    I had over 200 dollar takin out of my account!  But this just happen! Tonight an in purchase history they are not showing up?!? What do I do!

    If you didn't make the purchases then try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    What settings do you have on your iOS devices ? You can use Settings > General > Restrictions on an iOS device to prevent in-app purchases, and to require your password to be entered for every download (the default is a 15 minute period during which it doesn't need re-entering).

  • Why can't I read what I have written to the data socket server?

    Hi,
    I have a problem with DataSocket: I open a socket and in a cycle I read from the socket and write a boolean "TRUE" to the socket. But reading from the socket I always get a "FALSE" value back.
    Monitoring the socket from a second VI where a boolean control is connected to the data socket shows that the "TRUE" value that I write is accepted on the DS-Server.
    Is this a bug or do I miss something?
    Regards
    Tobias

    hi there
    i'd recommend to use two connections for read and write access (see attachment). The ReadWrite mode does not work properly with DS. you can establish the connections at startup of your app and use them until you are done. when using the URL as a input the server must check for a open connection or create one in each cycle.

  • HT4993 I was given a phone that requires an Apple Id but I don't have contact with the person who previously owned it unlock it. Is there any other way?

    How can resolve this issue?

    You will need to contact the original owner of the iPhone.
    If the device is in Lost Mode, then this means the original owner of the iPhone has reported the iPhone as lost or potentially as stolen.  If it is not in Lost Mode, then you will need the original owner who has the device signed into his Apple ID to remove the device by going to www.iCloud.com and signing in with his Apple ID credentials and subsequently removing the device from the account.
    If you call AppleCare, if you are not the owner of the account and you cannot verify the identity of the account over the phone, there is nothing they can do to assist you.

  • Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad?? I've tried using iCab, downloading google docs, etc. I understand it's not possible from iPad but why???

    Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad?? I've tried using iCab, downloading google docs, etc. I understand it's not possible from iPad but why??? If I can't use safari to do it is there any other way?? Seriously, are iPads only used for watching Hulu, playing games, fb and twitter? My phone can do that!! Worst $500 I ever spent.

    We don't want to email it.....  we want to upload it.
    Then why did you say (emphasis added):
    Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad??
    There are plenty of methods for putting a resume online, where a potential employer can download it, though admittedly the iPad is less flexible in this regard than a computer.  Nobody ever has claimed otherwise.  However, I get the feeling you're not actually looking for an answer to anything, and you're just posting to complain.  Note that that is a violation of the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use, which you agreed to when signing up for an account here.
    I wish I had gotten a Galaxy Tab.
    Then sell your iPad and go buy one.  You will have no problems whatsoever finding a buyer.

  • My iPad 2 is connected, works well and is found under "devices" on the left side of my iTunes window.  But when I go into my iTunes account the iPad2 is not listed nor found to be "associated" with my account.  Why not?

    My iPad 2 is connected, works well and is found under "devices" on the left side of my iTunes window.  However, when I go into my iTunes store account under "manage devices" the iPad2 is not listed nor found to be "associated" with my account.  Why not?

    Even if you put a credit or debit card on file with iTunes it will still use your balance FIRST.
    I would suggest putting a card on file and testing to see if it will allow you to make a purchase, then removing the card from the account after successful download of an item.

  • Why can't I download the waiting songs on my iTunes? I have over 2gb storage free

    why can't I download the "waiting" songs on my iTunes ? I have 2gb of free storage

    I'm guessing because the servers or part of the network is still overloaded by millions of other trying to do the same.
    Some seem to think this helped:
    Adding Open DNS servers to network preferences (2012) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17806286
    Changing DNS to Google on a wireless device - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17806308
    P.S. Punctuation would help the readability of your question.

    Why can't I download Photoshop CC(2014) to my Mac Pro desktop running OSX 10.9.3.  My Creative Cloud app shows updates for all apps that I have as CS6 on my desktop but I have only subscribed to Photoshop CC.  Lightroom shows Install but it is installed.  Trying to Install Photoshop CC(2014) results in and error message "Installation failed Errors encountered during installation.(7) more information.

    I also cannot directly download from my account on the web.  This has been going on for a week or more and I have tried numerous suggestions on the forums but got nowhere.  I uninstalled Creative Cloud app today but could not find the installer again so I assume that was deleted.  I cannot download that now as on Adobe's site it says we are experiencing problems.  Aren't we all.
    I was happy with CC until last week but now cannot recommend it.
    I also have a Macbook Pro retina and Photoshop CC(2014) downloaded no problem on that.

  • Why can't I download the Mac OS I just purchased?  Why does it have to be shipped to me?

    I just purchased Lion OS.  Why can't I download it from the website?  Why does it have to be shipped to me?

    Are you doing a Software Update or downloading directly from Apple?
    If Software Update, instead download the combo 10.6.8 update from here. Use Disk Utility (on your hard drive in application/utilities)  to repair permissions, then apply the combo update, and when done, repair permissions again. You'll be at 10.6.8 at that point.

  • Why can't I download anything online? This includes itunes, applications from the mac app store, and flash plugins.

    Why can't I download anything online? This includes everything from itunes song files,to Apps from the apple app store, to flash plugins. I am also unable to install a game on disk. I get messages that 0 kb is available when I just got the computer a week and a half ago and only installed microsoft office and adobe photoshop. Help!

    This is a confusing complaint...and kind of disturbing. Perhaps you could answer a few questions:
    1. How much space is left on your HD? If there weren't any available space left, it would be very difficult to boot your applications.
    2. Do you back up at all? Given your situation, it might be a good time to start, given the situation. Backup drives are relatively inexpensive these days.
    If this problem persists, a visit to your local Apple Store might be a good idea - but until then, please let the community here help.
