    To see your entire Purchase History, select iTunes store in Sidebar and Account in Quick Links (right-hand side of window) and sign in.

    If it's not available for redownloading perhaps it's been pulled from the Store. Have you checked if it's still for sale?

    Items already in your library aren’t available for download.

    the items arent in my libary, im trying to download previous purchases from itunes store into my libary in itunes. ive already looked in the quick links section for purchased items but older purchases arent there. ive been able to find past purchases in itunes store that shows as purchased but these are not available to download through the quick links purchased section in the itunes store. this is my problem, i can find the music that i have previously purchased in the itunes store but i cant find a way of downloading it again? its not in my libary or available from the purchased quick links section in the itunes store?

    just to confirm i have managed to find the answer to my original question. i went to my account in the itunes store, i had to sign in again, from there i scrolled down to in the cloud, went into manage and there it was all my previously purchased music that had somehow been hidden? once i clicked unhide on the music i wanted, i then went to purchases in the quick links section and the music i was looking for was there ready to download into my libary.
