Download previous iTunes purchases on PC
If you previously purchased items from the iTunes Store, you can download them to your authorized computers and devices (up to 10 total). Downloading previous purchases is a great way to add items to your devices without having to sync or copy files, and you can use this method to replace iTunes Store files you accidentally lost or deleted.
You can also check for purchases that haven’t been downloaded to your computer, or have iTunes check for them automatically. This is useful, for example, if a download is interrupted.
Note: Some types of previously purchased content might not be available in some countries or regions. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they’re no longer in the iTunes Store.
