I had an iphone that was ruined by the rain last week. It was raining so hard that when I opened up my backpack, I found my phone dunked in a puddle of water that had gone through the material of my backpack. The phone is now dead.

I recently bought a new one.

My question is, I made a lot of purchases on itunes using my old iphone that I didn't get a chance to load up onto my computer. How do I get those songs back? I tried "check for available downloads" on the computer using my account, but that didn't work.

Please help, because I seriously bought like, 3 albums and I don't want to waste money buying them again.

Contact iTunes Support and tell them that you lost the tracks. They should let you redownload them for free.
