Thanks everyone, once again. I'm sure this is an audio book, since I can find it easily in the Audio Books section of the iTunes Store. I made the purchase on my iPhone, but I assumed that wouldn't matter since I would have purchased it and thus it would be in my account. Yes, I checked for downloads, but that told me that all purchases had already been downloaded. Looks like I'll be talking to someone at Apple. > On Dec 29, 2014, at 6:51 PM, Tim Kilburn <kilbu...@me.com> wrote: > > Alex, > > It appears that I’ve given you false info that doesn’t apply to Audio Books. > In doing some searches on the Net regarding this, I’ve learned that Audio > Book purchases are a one time thing from iTunes and if you don’t have a > backup of your iTunes Library, they are not re-downloadable.
