Q: How do I re-download a previously purchased audiobook?

Hi,

I have an iPhone 4 currently running  iOS 7.1.2.

I have previously purchased several audiobooks from the iTunes store on my iPhone, but when my computer synced the iPhone, it removed the audiobooks.

I have attempted to re-download said audiobooks but the store will not allow me to download them without paying for them again, only allowing a buy option.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem or know where to find out how. Any helpful reply would be greatly appreciated.

Regards C.V.

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2

    Audiobooks & Tones (Ringtones) cannot be re-download for free.

    You have to Transfer Purchases from iPhone to computer iTunes for safe keeping.

    Failing to do so is what happen now.

     

    Audiobooks, ringtones, and tones

    If you made a backup of these items on your Mac or PC, you can sync the items to your iOS device. You can't download these items again from iTunes in the Cloud.
