I bought an album on my iPhone and it never transferred to my iTunes account. It has disappeared now and I'm not allowed to buy it again. How can I find my missing music album or have the option to purchase it again?

Hello bubblegirl2,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your purchased album.
First, I recommend trying to download the album from you list of past purchases. Use the steps in the section titled "Download previous purchases on Mac or PC > iTunes Store" in the following article:
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you have tried those steps and still do not see the album, it may be that the album is hidden. Follow the steps below in iTunes on your computer to check if it is hidden and unhide it:
To unhide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
If you're not already signed in, choose Store > Sign in.
Choose Store > View My Account. (You may be asked to enter your password again).
On your Account Information summary, scroll down to the "iTunes in the Cloud" section and click Manage.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, TV shows, Apps, or Books from the top.
Click the Unhide button next to the item you would like to restore.
Note: If the item you are unhiding is not already downloaded on your computer locally, it will begin downloading automatically.
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases

If you are still not able to download the album, you can report the issue with this purchases using the steps in this article:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore purchase

i have a old i pod that i use to used and i stop useing it for a few years and now i have a i phone and i want to put all my music on my i pod in to my iphone and it would not allow me to do so what can i do
You need to move the music from the iPod to your iTunes library on your computer then sync with the iPhone.
Assuming you have a PC you can use this: http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/ -
Last night the mail application from Apple lost all my old emails, which were stored in mailboxes, neatly sorted by category. What happened and how do I find them?
Details: I shut down mail to run errands outside my office. My late model MacBook Pro was on "sleep". When I returned, I opened the application, and (RATS!) all the mailboxes were missing. They just evaporated.
Operating system: 10.7.2 - all software updates installed and current as of 24 hours ago (12-30-11, 6 AM EST).
ln the mail program, the trash folder is OK and the sent folder is OK.
Yesterday, I did no maintenance on my mail folders.
HELP!1 - the sudden disappearance of my 22 mailboxes, used to sort the emails that I need to file for future use
That was most likely the result of some kind of corruption, as I've already said, not a bug in Mail. Have you repaired the hard drive with Disk Utility recently? That wouldn't be a bad idea.
2 - at random times, mail (or the server) says that my password is incorrect and I must reenter (fix: usually I can quit mail, restart, and the connection is restored without reentering my password)
This is a known issue, where a failure to respond promptly on the server's end mimics what happens when the password is rejected. There's no need to quit Mail, just cancel when asked to enter the password, take the account back online and try again.
3 - mail seems to resort the mail in my mailboxes at random time. Several times a day, I must reset the sort to (a) by date; (b) by desending
Never seen that before. That points more to some kind of possible corruption in your Mail data or preference files. -
i want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized? also how can i update the software?
This is a tedious solution, which is stupid! And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization. I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge! -
Hello, I have a charge on my Discover card for $116.86 and I do not know what it is for. Can I get more information on it please. The info in the statement is MHDBQJ1Z3G-0
Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
If it's a charge though your iTunes Store account, it should be reflected in your Purchase History:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your credit card directly or your credit card number has been stolen and used by someone else in another iTunes Store account rather than an unauthorized purchase through your account. In either case it will be up to your bank to handle.

Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend. -
Hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?
hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?
1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip. -
I bought the Star Walk app this weekend on my iPad. Today I went in iTunes to get it for my iPhone and it indicates I need to buy it again (same price). Is there a change in policy?
No, there isn't a change - compatible apps are shown in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPhone. If you bought the HD version of the app then that only works on the iPad, if you want the version for the iPhone then that is a separate app and is therefore a separate purchase.

I'm from India and after update i can't turn off my 3G or i have the option to turn on/off LTE only. I don't want to be always on 3G because my battery is running out of life.
This is the same as what happened to customers in most of the rest of the world in a past release, and it's because carriers want to stop supporting older transport methods.
There's nothing you can do about it other than complain to your carrier, as they're likely the ones who asked Apple to remove the option. -
How can I log onto iCloud from my iPad when the option is in grey and therefore not available
How can I log onto iCloud from my iPad when the option is in grey and therefore not available. I deleted my account as it was showing up with an old Id ( I'd changed my email) but now I've done that it won't give me the option of logging back on. Do I have to do this on another device Or computer linked to iTunes first?
THanksHi Kate, have you perchance enabled restrictions on your device. (Settings > General > Restrictions)

when i try to set up my icloud account the system says it is sending me an email to verify. I never get the email and it is not in my spam filter. How can i get set up??
Make sure that your Apple ID is your email address and you do not have any other or old IDs associated with you. Go to www.appleid.apple.com and confirm this info. Make sure that the email address you are trying to sign up with is your primary one.

where and how can i find his id to contact him if the device is not activated and idon't know how to riech him
i will have to agree with hasscoo90. we badly need help how to contact the owner of this phone. we do understand the purpose of activation lock. and this is why instead asking Apple or any other company that offers a service (if there is any) to remove the activation lock for us, help us provide any contact information of the owner of this serial number we have and we will inform them of exactly what to do so that we can already use this iphone.
please help us. we really badly need your help. -
How can i download imovie '11 if i dont have the latest mac software
how can i download imovie '11 if i dont have the latest mac software
and should i download the next version of mac software or does it slow the computer down
thanksThe easiest way is to install Mountain Lion, and then you can download iMovie 11. If your Mac is supported by Mountain Lion, performance should be fine.
The other way would be to try to find a retail boxed copy of iLife 11 from eBay or Amazon. You can then install iMovie 11 up to version 9.04. But that is it, you cannot get 9.07 without at least installing Lion. -

I can only send messages to other iPhones and I am not allowed to make or receive calls at all not even iphones.
You must have a SIM card installed ( if applicable ) and have your iPhone activated to make calls or text mobile phones.
