Is it possible to download songs from an old iTunes account?

I have an iPhone 4S and I need to know if there's a way I can download all the music I bought a couple of years ago from iTunes. I used an old email address and the music was for an iPod. I don't have the computer where all the music was saved, but is there a way I can log in to that account and download the music to and from my phone?

You have to think of iTunes as a player not a program. If you don't have the music file saved on the computer when you open your old iTunes account, you won't have the music.

I don't know if you can do it directly from your iPhone, but you can do it on a different PC running iTunes. Log into iTunes with your ID and find the Purchased link in the iTunes store, and you should see all your old songs which are available to be downloaded.

  • ITunes won't download all the songs to my iphone 6s after transffering my list of songs from my old macbook to my PC I transferred my list of songs from my old Macbook to my PC with iTunes. For some reason, iTunes won't download ALL the songs to my iPhone 6s from my PC. For example if I want to download a whole album it will only download few songs from that album. Anyone know how to fix this problem? I also noticed how long it takes to download just few songs from my PC to my iphone 6s which is really frustrating.
