I know it’s boring and tedious the way I keep blogging about my ailing computer but the cursed thing isn’t working again! It just hasn’t been the same since my hard drive was fried by a lightning surge last month. Everything – all documents, letters, my journal, my music, contacts, calendar – EVERYTHING was destroyed. I was given a new hard drive and gained a new outlook once I decided that the whole thing was probably for the best. I needed to start anew. The manuscript pages for my new book that I hadn’t saved weren’t great anyway. And I was sick of all my old music. My new hard drive was supposed to be my new beginning. But now my effing keyboard doesn’t work. I need to go to the Apple Store and figure out where on the Web all my music is. It appears to be out there someplace because when I have tried to purchase songs that I can’t live without, I am told that they are already in my library. But where? I hate itunes, right now.
I can’t load photos onto this computer because …well, I just can’t. I don't think the blog looks great without photos (and nothing but my bitter words) so I'm going to post some that are already on here, like this one of the dear calf who lives down the road:
How can a creature as perfect as this live in a world where itunes exists?

That calf IS perfect. Do to your computer what Elvis did to his TV - shoot it. I'll bet that'll perk you right up. If I had a g_n (I know George Bush is listening to my every word, so I'm abridging the ones that might get him fired up), that's what I'd do to mine - I really hate these frapping things.

LOL
itunes is just telling you that you already bought that song, it would most likely be on the hard drive that you were using when you made the original purchase. They don't actually check to see if you still have it. They are only confirming that you want to buy it again. If your hard drive is gone, it is likely your itunes library is gone too :( Hope that helps.

It seems like since you are using the same account that itunes would be able help you restore things you've already bought. I know when I've had issues with a certain song not playing or something, they've let me download it again, free of charge.

Hi Ann,
If you contact Apple iTunes tech support I think they will allow you to re-download all the music you already purchased.
Do you remember me?
Cheers
