My computer totally crashed. I now have a new one (authorized) but when I log into iTunes it tells me that I still have money in my account, but no list of previously purchased songs. How am I supposed to get in contact with iTunes to get those back?

I have lost my purchased music. I can still see what I bought when I go to my account. I understand I can ask I-tunes to re-download it for me but I have no idea how to email them or talk to them as I keep going around in circles on their Itunes store. Help please..is it because I’m in the UK??

My problem with them not letting you re-download purchases is that I can no longer back up my iTunes to disk. I used to back everything up, my entire iTunes library, once or twice per year. For the past 2 years or so (iTunes version 7 or something) I’ve not been able to back up purchases. I click on the “back up to disk” option. Computer tells me to insert disk. I insert disk into open drive. Drive closes and computer reads “checking media.” Nothing happens after that.

I’m not alone. Many people have had the same problem judging by the Apple forums. I think it has something to do with newer versions of iTunes shutting a drive down or something. Some people have had luck changing a setting or two, some haven’t.

Now I’ve got a WD external hard drive. All my stuff is backed up to that. I still can’t burn things to disk as data though. Before I got this external hard drive, I had to delete several videos (Love Actually, Groundhog Day, The Punisher) because I didn’t have the room on my computer.

It’s not Apple’s fault if I choose not to back things up to disk. It is their fault if I CAN’T back things up to disk.

Using all Apple products helps also. I had a hard drive crash on my Macbook and the backup that I’d put on my Time Capsule was of an already corrupt HD – so – in short I did backup my computer and my library. They were very nice about replacing all my downloads (going back over three years something like 1500 songs and a few movies).
I did get the standard “we don’t do this all the time, back up your data” lecture though.
The funny thing was, I’d really only asked to be allowed to download a couple of the movies and they provided everything.

Oh crap, hang on. Silly blonde moment here. My hard drive on my computer is fine. My hard drive on my iPod is shot. And, I don’t have all of my Purchased songs through the years all saved on my iTunes because silly me didn’t want to have all those songs on iTunes, so I erased them over the years. I still have some, but not all. Since it’s not my computer’s hard drive and it’s my iPod’s, they likely won’t honor that will they? So I’m still screwed trying to find all the music I’ve lost and have been working toward for the past six years?
