Why are my purchased songs?

Why are my purchased songs not showing up on my phone under Purchased?
I downloaded one song yesterday from my phone and that showed up but I purchased and downloaded 4 songs today on my computer from iTunes and now they are now showing up.. WHY//////

Not sure why this is happening and it is a pain. Once the Purchased list sorted by 'date added' go to the left most column and select the top - in my Purchased list the new items go to the bottom and I drag them back up to the top position.

  • Why can I not remove music and why are my purchased songs being duplicated each time I sync??

    So I'm not sure if this is unique but I have a couple of things going on.
    1st issue: I have a iphone 4s. Itunes on my desktop. Some music purchased from the desktop is on my iphone and I cannot remove it. I've checked "manually manage music". I've selected only the playlists I want. It will not delete the purchased music.
    2nd issue: Each time I sync it pulls only the purchased music from my iphone and adds it to my music library. And each time it does that, it's adding another copy of the purchased songs into my music folder. I tried a variety of options, synced 7 times, and ended up with 7 copies of each purchased song. I've triedso many different things I'm thinking the only thing left is to do a reset. Or possibly reinstalling itunes completely. I've unchecked "copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library" and unchecked each of the songs from the library.Very frustrating!
    Any suggestions would really be appreciated!

    Thanks, randers4.
    Unchecking the individual songs from the iTunes music library does indeed remove the songs from my iPhone. However, this is quite tedious given the number of albums I want to remove. Isn't this supposed to be easier done by "unchecking" the Genre or the specific Album using the Devices/My iPhone/Music tab?
    Does this work for you (or anyone else)? My aim is to identify the most efficient method of doing this.

  • Why are my purchased songs not showing up in my library?

    I recently updated iTunes, but now it shows that I only have 1 song in my Library, while everything else I ever purchased isn't showing up in my Library. They show up under Purchased but not in my Library. Help please?

    I purchased a track, it appears on my iphone 5s okay but isn't anywhere on my itunes. there isn't anything in Purchsed under iStore.
    I had my iphone plugged in when I purchsed the track, so should have been on both iphone and itunes, much like purchasing an app.
    Any ideas?
    have IOS 7.1 loaded, is this a known issue (to us not apple)?

  • Why won't itunes find my library on my external hard drive? All that shows up are the purchased songs in the cloud?

  • Why are my downloaded songs from ITunes cutting off before the song has played?

    I am new to ITunes.  I purchased 6 albums. Why are my downloaded songs starting in the middle and cutting off before they have played?

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • 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:

  • Why are my matched songs with downward arrow using mac disk space

    I have 1159 songs in my iTunes library which takes up over 16 GB of space on my macbook air SSD. Of those 499 are matched with 451  showing "matched" as well as the cloud icon with a downward arrow which I thought meant that they were not stored locally and needed to be streamed.  So why are those 451 taking up 4.13 GB of precious SSD space. The same situation exists with my purchased and uploaded songs which make up the other 11 GB of SSD space. If I try to delete the song I get:
    “Are you sure you want to delete this item from iCloud? This will delete this item from all your iTunes Match devices".
    Maybe I don’t understand iTunes Match but I thought one of the advantages  was that it freed storage space on your macs and iOS deices.

    So now I have completed deleting the duplicates. I’m not sure it made any difference because now the 39 songs which were greyed out and waiting have uploaded and I still have over 14GB of iTunes on my completely full macbook air SSD
    58 songs are downloaded using 484.6 MB which is fine.  It is the other 908 songs showing the cloud with the downward arrow which take up 13.83 GB that I want to get rid of.  The only problem is that if I try to delete them I get the message:
    “ Are you sure you want to delete this item from iCloud? This will delete this item from all of your iTunes Match devices.”
    So how can I delete them and leave them on iCloud? 
    I did try something you recommended elsewhere, holding down the SHIFT and turning off iTunes Match and then adding the computer again, but there was no improvement.

  • Why are my matched songs greyed out and unavailable on my Mac?

    OK, I've spent weeks matching and uploading songs to iTunes Match. All is now sorted, and the message in the Match window in iTunes says that all my songs are ready. Yet nearly every time I open iTunes all the Matched and Purchased songs that exist only in the cloud, and that I have not downloaded, are greyed out and I cannot play them.
    Yet —
    1. I can stream/download them them without a problem on my iPad and my iPhone, over the same internet connection and the same Wi-Fi network.
    2. When I right-click on any of the greyed out songs in iTunes and select 'Show In iTunes Store' I'm taken to the song in the store, from where it plays fine.
    So what is going on? Neither of the two above actions would work if I did not have an internet connection to iTunes in the cloud, so why won't the songs play in iTunes?

    can somebody find an answer i deleted my songs from my ipod and they are all greyed out and i cant do anything.

  • I have recently bought a Mac PC and wish to have my music for my windows laptop show up on the mac (all that shows are my purchased songs) do i have to manually add my cds somehow?

    All my music that i have loaded onto my windows HP Laptop (Envy) has not shown up on my Mac PC, only the purchased songs bought through the iTunes store.
    Do i have to manually load the cd's onto my Mac via a portable media unit? Or will that not work? I do not want to have to purchase all my favourite music again

    Only purchases appear because they are coming Apple's own copy keeps on the Internet when it sees you have connected a computer without the purchases.  Anything else has to be transferred by you.
    Moving an entire library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    When this is to a new computer put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • Why are my deleted songs back on my phone but not in my itune library

    After I did the 7 update, all my really old songs that have long since been deleted have shown up in my music library again, but they are not in my itunes library on my computer for my to delete again. Why are they suddenly back and how do i get rid of them?
    Thanks for your help!

    I had the same problem. This is what I did,
    1. Go to settings
    2. Scroll down until you find Music
    3. Tap on Music
    4. Scroll until you find Show All Music
    5. Switch it off (if it's green then switch it to turn it white)
    That's what I did and when I go to my music library it only shows the ones i havent deleted.
    I hope this helps

  • Bought new computer, Logged in, so where are my purchased songs?

    I finally was able to authorize and log into my account but my already purchased songs do not show up. Where are they and how do I get them back?

    Sorry, but you only get one download per purchase. If you have the tracks on an iPod, you can transfer them back from the iPod to iTunes. Alternatively, you can, if the hard drive in the old system still works, remove the drive from the old system and mount it on your new computer (if you have a Firewire or USB drive case, mount it in that, or you can get this not-too-expensive drive adapter) and you should be able to copy them from the drive into iTunes.
    If the drive has failed completely, you don't have the tracks on an iPod, and you didn't make a backup as iTunes itself advises, you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your tracks. You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis, but don't count on it.

  • Why do pre-purchased songs show up in a separate album?

    I pre-purchased an album and multiple songs were available for download early. When the album was released and the rest of the tracks were downloaded, iTunes created a separate album by the same name and artwork. How can I fix this? I want all of the tracks under one album and I think it's a little ridiculous to have to create a playlist to listen to a full album I purchased. Any help is appreciated.

    If the songs your purchased were purchased under the same Apple ID that you have currently signed on to iTunes on your computer then your purchases will show up. Click on iTunes Store, and under Music Quick Links, click on Purchased>Songs>Not in My Library. All of your past purchases that are not on your current computer will show up with the cloud next to them. Click on the individual songs to download them selectively, or click on Download All at the bottom of the screen to download all of them.
    You must be sure that:
    The Computer is Authorized to the Apple ID that you made the purchases with
    iTunes is signed on to the Apple ID that you made the purchases with
    If your songs are all in the "All" Category, but none show in the Not in My Library category, are the songs that you believe are missing showing in the All list? If not, then one of the two items above is probably not as stated.

  • Why does my purchased songs not play after restoring from iCloud?

    I recently had to exchange my iPhone 4 after having a problem with my lock button. When I restored my purchased items from iCloud none of my purchased songs or movies would work. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem without having to redownload each item?

    Does the music appear to be on the iPhone, but won't play?
    My iPhone did this after an iCloud backup. If the music is shown but won't play then:
    On the iPhone go to settings> general > usage> then delete all of the music. After you've done this sync your iPhone to your iTunes and they should all go back onto the phone and work. ( make sure that all the music is in your iTunes library first)
