Err..iTunes?

[Cocacolafire]

Ok so recently, I had to re-install my PC..A few days later I had to restore my iPod -_-

So now, with the same account, I was wondering (i have already authorized this new PC) how to get my purchased songs (before I had to re-install) from iTunes onto the side where it says Music (on the left sidebar)

When I go into iTunes on the PC it said I already purchased them. And when I went on my iPod, it said "You have already purchased this item, would you like to buy it again?"

and no. I do not wish to buy it aigan. I already have paid for the song, i should get it back.

Thanks for any help

Apple really wants you to buy it again. They don't allow you to re-download songs purchased if you lost them (unless you call tech support, get a really nice tech person and ask with your sweetest voice - but even then you may not be able to). If you didn't back it up or transfer purchases to your computer before you had to restore, you're screwed.

just download them off of limewire or bittorrent if you dont want to buy them again. not the i endorse downloading music or anything.

Grr I went to an apple store 10 miles away only to find out that I have to re-buy the songs I legaly bought.

It's infuriating, yes. So start complaining! Blame the RIAA!

kinda late for that -_-

that sucks that you have to buy them all agian. brutal man. it should be like apps. if you download and buy them then you should be able to just download them again.

Yet it's not. It's so idiotic, but money is what they want, and giving away downloads isn't a way to make money (unless it's for advertising).

ya but only google dolls out lots of money for ads on websites. just like the ones on this website.
