Cannot download bought music

Very long time ago I bought on iTunes an album. Now I would like to download it on my iPhone and it says bought but I can't download it. Anyone who knows the trick to do download this album?

Thanks in advance.

Some Thoughts:

Sign out of and then back into iCloud on your iPhone.


Also, try downloading this using another device (i.e. a Mac), adding it to your iTunes library. See if you can then download it to your iPhone.


Removed Items:

Note that sometimes, items are removed from the Apple Store, and then they become no longer accessible. That is be cause of licensing between Apple and the Studio. So, download all your music, and back it all up. In order to back it up, you need to download it first. You cannot just back it up from the Apple Store. That's just the way it is :(
