Purchased Playlist missing purchases

Hi,
My wife's iPhone 5s started this, migrated to her 6 after she bought it. Also now my iPhone 5s does the same thing.
When my wife purchases a song from iTunes on her phone, does not matter if on WiFi or LTE, it is random if it shows up in the Purchased playlist. Sometimes it does, sometimes more often than not it does not appear. However if you look under Album or Artist, it downloaded. I realize Apple puts the song at the BOTTOM of the playlist when it should be at the TOP(Also it puts albums in reverse order, are you listening APPLE???).
It used to be when she bought a song or two, they downloaded to my phone as well as we share a single Apple ID for iTunes purchases. I have it set to auto download purchases for music, as does she on her phone if I should buy. That part works fine, just randomly it will not put it on the Purchased playlist. I have seen others complain of this same issue. Anyone else have a solution. Seemed to start with iOS 7.x

I also have the same thing happening to me now. What i did was..
1. I let the iTunes Match to be ON inside my iPhone.
2. I logged out from my iTunes account through Settings -> Store -> Click your own apple ID
3. I waited for a few seconds.
4. I logged back in into my iTunes account.
5. The purchased playlist is now there!
P/S : If you are having a problem with greyed out songs inside your iPhone, you could also use this method. It works for me and i i hope it do work on yours as well.
xoxo

"Purchased" playlist missing music

I accidentially deleted the purchased playlist.I purchased something and got the purchased playlist back except all the purchased music is missing from the playlist, is there a way to put all my purchased music back into the playlist?

Click on the *Date Added* column.
If 'Date Added' isn't showing, either right-click on the column headers bar and select it,
or
itunes menu > View > View Options and check the Date Added box.
If the little triangle is pointing down by the words date added, the most recent additions will be at the top. If the triangle is pointing up, oldest additions will be at the top.

ITunes Purchased Playlist missing tunes

Hi,
The purchased playlist in Itunes is missing a few tunes. They are in my Library, just not in my purchased playlist. On the purchased menu on my Apple TV all of the items that I have purchsed are there. How can I get the purchased playlist in Itunes to be identical to this.
Thanking you in all in advance
Greg Simms

You can just drag it in there. In fact, you can drag anything in there. It's just a regular playlist and end users can change it anyway they want.

Purchased playlist missing off iphone

After a wifi sync last week, my purchased playlist has disappeared from my iphone, but still present in itunes. I have searched for answers and still havent found a solution. I have tried creating a smart playlist and that hasnt worked. I have also tried to purchase songs on the iphone is hopes it would recreate the playlist, but still no purchased playlist has popped up. Does anyone know how to get my playlist back? Thanks!

- create a new playlist (eg purchased2) and copy ALL music from Purchased into the new Purchased2 playlist
- delete the original Purchased playlist
- download a free track from iTunes Store, iTunes will create a new playlist purchased
- copy and paste (ctrl v ctrl c way) the songs from purchased 2 to the newly created Purchased
- sync your iDevice and you should be sorted!
There must be an issue with the old smart playlist. Creating a fresh one and copying the music over seems to fix it?

ITunes purchases Playlist missing

Hi, Bought a new MacBookPro after previous one was damaged. My list of purchases from itunes is missing despite authorising etc. All purchases are recorded on my Apple account but wont show on screen. Has anyone come across similar?

Got the same problem. iMac died (after less than 18 months!) and Apple replced logic board. Apple adviser told me that to recover all my itunes purchases all I had to do was log in to my itunes account and they would be pulled off their server. This hasn't happened.

Why are only 2 songs missing from my Purchased playlist?

here's another weird missing purchased song issue: in itunes on left side under store, there is the pre-set purchased playlist with the right click menu with the entry to check for available downloads - it is showing 90 songs. Same as on my iPhone's purchased playlist. Here is the problem - I created a new smart playlist per the previous discussions here and it is showing 92 songs - I went onto my account to check the itunes store and the 92 songs are there and the 92 songs are also downloaded to my itunes library on my PC. Not one of them is hidden - I have others hidden but not these 2. they are not in the cloud, they have been downloaded to both PC and phone and they will appear in other playlists and play fine. For some reason, the pre-set Purchased playlist under the store menu is not picking up that these 2 songs were purchased but my smart playlist is! Both are on the same account ID, one from 2013 and one from just last month! This is clearly an issue with certain flag not being set in a database somewhere, but why just these two? It is not affecting my ability to sync or play these songs since I have them in my new smart playlist - just an odd thing that makes me wonder why and if it can be corrected. ooops - this is PC iTunes not Mac - can't change it - sorry!

Hi Pugs lover,
If you are missing songs from an album but the iTunes Store is showing those tracks as Purchased, you may want to see if it will allow you to redownload them. You may find the following article helpful:

Help: iTunes completely reset itself, eliminating half of my purchased playlist, deleting all my podcast files, etc. No idea why this happened and how can I fix it?

Hello.
I did not touch my computer the past week, I've only been messing with my laptop. I had my computer off a whole day. I turn it on, open iTunes, and everything is gone.
I system restore. Everything is gone. None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there. My iPod itself is fine. I restore back to current settings, still, everything gone.
I plug my iPod in. I don't think it took anything off my iPod, but even without syncing, it eliminated a ton of the songs on my iPod from my 'purchased' playlist. Now, these songs will not transfer back over to iTunes because iTunes is not recognizing them as official songs. Is there a link to download/redownload your past purchases again? I was trying to find that but had no luck. (Also my iTunes purchase history is incorrect and has at least 1 omitted song I paid for, but that is another story for another day). I want these songs to transfer to my library so I can put them on a future iPod I bought.
I do things the legal way, I do not illegally get any music. I've bought 800 to 1000 songs from iTunes over the year (now that is a lot of money). Now my iPod is listing it as only 600 and some. This is my second iPod and the second time I've had major issues with the iPod just going crazy on me. I won't stick with Apple if I get screwed out of songs I have paid for.
Anyways, from what I have described, does anyone know what is up? Directions on where to go to download all past purchases? Ideas?
The only potentially bad thing I've done with iTunes at all is I delay updating it as long as possible. I hadn't updated the most recent update for a few months now. Still, that is no reason for the system to go ape **** on me. I am fairly certain at this point that *all* my songs are still on my iPod, but as I said, if this one all of a sudden died or I wanted to get a new one, I'm looking at half my actually bought songs being non-transferrable.
Thanks for any response.

Backup, backup, backup...

Is your laptop a different computer than your computer?
You have two computers?
iTunes is missing everything from which one/both?
I system restore. Everything is gone. None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there.
Do you mean you reinstalled the system from scratch?
Yes, that tends to delete everything.
Or you restored everything from a backup?
Directions on where to go to download all past purchases?
Selete Store on the left side of iTunes.
Make sure you are signed in.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick links to redownlaod your purchases.
Then make sure to regularly backup, backup, backup all your important data .

Cannot move songs from 'Purchased' playlist on my iPod (touch 8gb)

Soooooo I've purchased a handful of songs on my ipod touch and I cannot move them back to iTunes or to another playlist.
They are all listed in the Purchased playlist from the device.
Only one shows in the Purchased on [device] under Store in iTunes.
Also, they show up under the playlist in iTunes I moved them to but not on my iPod.
I've updated my iTunes software and my iPod, as well, without progress.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if there is a larger issue at hand.
Thanks for reading

Are the chapters of the podcasts separated as individual files or are they a part of a single large file?

Issues with purchases not showing up in Purchased Playlist.

Over the past week or so i have have noticed that my purchases are not showing up in my Purchased playlist on my iOS devices. They are syncing across devices but only being put under "Songs." I know i can manually add them to my Purchased playlist but that is such a pain. Anyone else having this issue?
I am currently working on restoring my iPhone 5S to see if this helps but again this is a huge pain.

Do you have automatic downloads turned on? I think it's under iTunes menu >> preferences >> store. Maybe turn on showing purchases in the cloud showing too.
Could also click iTunes Store >> purchases (under quick links) >> music. Does the missing music show there with cloud and down arrow?

I acidently delted my purchased playlist. how do i get it back?

i acidently deleted my Purchesed playlist... how do i get it back??

Hey there,
One solution is to download the free single of the week (or purchase another song if you wish to ). This will re-create the purchased folder you are now missing.
Or try this:
Create a smart playlist where "Kind contains protected", and drag all those songs over into the newly restored Purchased list.
Then do the same thing for "Kind contains purchased".
Kind = purchased are iTunes Plus tracks; protected are the ones with DRM.
I just want to say I found this answer via Katrina S. Hope it helps.

Having issues with purchased playlist and syncing

So, I'm really particular with the organization and appearance of all the music on my iPod (I'm someone that goes into the artist tab when looking for something to listen to, so the path is always artist > albums > songs), so often times after I purchase something, I'll edit the song or album titles to look nicer (so it doesn't say 'Deluxe Edition'), or to organized things into the specific albums I want (so there isn't a song missing from an album that I purchased when it was a 'single').
I've started syncing my iPod to update any songs I want to add manually (as in, ones that I've added from places other than the iTunes Store and therefore wouldn't just appear on my iPod) because iTunes stopped letting me click and drag songs I wanted to add for whatever reason. Anyway, I had to delete my Purchased Playlist from my iTunes library because when I synced my iPod, it would change all the song and album titles back to the original ones they had before I edited them, which would then change them on my iPod, and instead of having everything in neat, well organized places, I'd end up with like three different versions of the same album with the songs split up because of little differences in the labeling, and that drives me crazy.
But now, every single time I purchase something, the Purchase playlist reappears on my playlists on iTunes, and even though it just lists the thing I just bought (as opposed to my entire purchasing history), it still changes all the files I've ever purchased back to the original names and messes things up. And when it's over 200 songs, I'm really not in the mood to go back and manually edit every single song info every single time so that my iPod is organized when I sync it. And the thing is, when I right click and go to 'get info', the edits I made are still there, and I don't even have to erase or change things, it will just automatically fix itself, but only after I right click and go to 'get info', which is still a pain in the butt.
So, is there any way to either stop iTunes from changing all the info back, or to better yet, just not create a Purchased Playlist when I buy songs/albums?

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

Missing purchased songs in Library

Hi there,
after i purchase an album, i only can see this in my purchased songs, but i cant find it in my library/mediathek. There is no entry.
Can anyone help me ?

The "purchased" playlist is automatically generated only when purchases are made on any particular computer and those purchases are automatically added to it. It is not a Smart Playlist that automatically picks up old purchases if you transfer the library to a new computer. You can easily drag-n-drop anything you want into the playlist, though.

Songs I have purchased on iTunes are not showing up in my Purchased playlist but are in my iTunes library

This has only been happening since updating my iPhone 5 to the new IOS 7.0.2 software and it has duplicated a new purchased playlist on my iTunes library. I have tried syncing the iPhone to my computer but still no luck they are not showing up in my purchased playlist.
In saying that, some songs I purchase do show up in the playlist but others don't or only half of an album shows even though I have downloaded the whole thing. It is driving me crazy!! Has anyone else got this problem and what did they do to sort it?
Thanks!

Hi samfergs,
I'm not sure how the Purchased Playlist decides what to put into it, but if you want to see all of your purchased items, then you need to go to the iTunes Store, and on the right side, under Quick Links, click on Purchased.
Then, click on the Music (or whatever other purchased items tab you want to look at). If you are looking at Music, click on All Songs, and then on "All" or "Not on this Computer" (depending on what you want to see).
Cheers,
GB

Music that I have already bought won't show up in iTunes - no purchased playlist

I have an iPhone 4s, I have bought almost 70 songs from iTunes previously and they show up ina purchased playlist on my phone, but when I try to download them they keep on saying downoad error, tap to retry, and they wont play in my library.
Besides that, I can't get my purchased songs to show up in iTunes either, there is no purchased option in my playlists.
I'm signed in to the same account that i purchased the songs from.
Everything should be working fine and it's not.
