Download previous iTunes purchases on PC
If you previously purchased items from the iTunes Store, you can download most of them to your devices and authorised computers (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 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.
