Album purchased on iPhone doesn't show up?

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my iphone. It deducted from my account but the album didn't show up. Once I synced to my laptop and transferred purchases the album appeared in my itunes library and I can play the album on my laptop. However when I try to sync the album to my phone it still won't appear. Doesn't give me any kind of error, just syncs like normal only album doesn't come through. Really beginning to annoy me. I've downloaded other things since and they appear on the phone as soon as completed.

I just had the same problem. What ended up working for me was going to the File menu and choosing "transfer purchases from device". it worked. I know it's a stupid solution, but before I started digging around in the support docs, I never thought to look there. iTunes is a terrible piece of software with a really obtrusive interface, especially if you're like me and prefer to manage your music and apps manually.
hope this helps.

    Did you log into your iTunes account on the iPhone? On your phone, start the App store, tap the "Featured" icon and scroll down. Do you see Redeem and then, under that, your Apple ID?

    I'm having the same issue, i restored my phone to Factory settings, even tried restoring it to my backup, half of my music bought from itunes won't play on my iphone and i'm super annoyed, this only happened once i updated to ios 7.2 so i assume its another glitch to go with my imessages not sending, getting sick of this.

  • My iPhone doesn't show up as a Device in iTunes via wi-fi.

    How come I can't sync by wi-fi? My iPhone doesn't show up as a Device in iTunes unless it's connected by USB cable. "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi" is checked in iTunes. (I can sync ONLY by USB cable--ironic because I won't upgrade to Mavericks until it allows USB local syncing.) What am I missing?
    Macbook with OS X Mountain Lion.
    iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1

    Is your iPhone plugged in to a charger?  I believe that is a requirement for WiFi sync.

    I sync my iPhone and iPad to my Mac running Mavericks using USB local syncing all the time.
    Maybe you're referring to the fact that iCloud is the sync mechanism for Contacts and Calendars now.  If not, I don't understand your comment.

    Try to Restore on different computer with current iTunes. If still problem after Restore, then make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

  • When I try to look at my purchase history it doesn't show when I bought the apps

    when I go to purchase history it doesn't show the date and time of purchase

    If you log in through iTunes and click Account and then under Purchase History you can see all of your purchases and the dates.

  • Upgraded to leopard no iphone doesn't show up in itunes

    I upgraded to leopard and now when I plug in my iphone it charges but itunes doesn't open, and when I open itunes the iphone doesn't show up. If I need to reset the iphone (which seems rather drastic) how do i do that??
    Thanks for any help.

    I didn't think I was going to have time to try that tonight but it worked out that I did have time and the reinstall worked. The reinstall was faster than I expected and went right to working normally. no lost playlist or time to search for music.
    Thanks for the help

  • Music player in iPhone doesn't show cover of album, downloaded from itunes

    I bought an album on iTunes and downloaded it on the iPhone (without program). The music player program doesn't show the album cover. I see it in iTunes program on computer, but don't see it in iPhone. Deleted album from iPhone, uploaded it again, using iTunes program. Nothing changed.

    I do not know what the intention is to open and run command prompt on iphone. Lovely picture, BTW, thank you.
    Apple created iphones and ipads the way that windows explorer or OS can only read and manage one folder. DCIM
    folder that contains your pictures on the phone. Only the pictures made by you, nothing else. So anything you trying to accomplish in command prompt is not going to happen.
    If you read somewhere that you need to right click to back up your phone or transfer purchases or restore you need to be looking on the other screen in that article. Look at how to back up instructions here. They have step by step.

  • Movie purchased on iTunes doesn't show up on Apple TV. Any ideas why?

    Hi,
    I just paid to rent a movie from iTunes on my Macbook. Switched on AppleTV to sit and watch it, and it doesn't show up in my Purchased area in movies.
    Tried turning "home sharing" off, then back on again to reset it.
    Tried logging out of my account, into my wife's, then back to mine hoping that would 'refresh' it.
    Still nothing.
    Am I doing something wrong.
    P.S. The reason I didn't rent it thru AppleTV is that it was trying to charge it to my credit card, yet I have credit in my iTunes account and want to use that instead (hence why I did it thru iTunes on my macbook instead)

    You rented the movie, you didn't purchase it.
    Assuming you have now let it fully download to your computer, look under the computers section on the Apple TV.

  • Can't get a book I purchased on iphone ibooks to show up on ibooks ipad

    I've updated software, synced both devices to itunes, turned on icloud, told ibooks to sync devices and the book i purchased on my iphone will not show up in ibooks on ipad. i've spent hours on this already. anybody? please help.

    Try logging out and back into your account on iPad : tap on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app and log out and then sign back in. Does it then show in the Purshased tab in the store for redownloading ? If it's hidden it will still show in the main part of the store, it will just be hidden from the Purchased links.
    Or is the Books part of your computer's iTunes library ? If not then either redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage (assuming that it's not hidden), or connect your iPhone and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to yoru computer. You can then sync it to your iPad via the device's Books tab.
    Not sure what you mean by 'clicking download to cloud' - a book is either in the cloud or it's downloaded onto a device or computer.
    The iPad will only show under the 'manage devices' section on your account if it's asociated to your account i.e. you've used iTunes Match or automatic downloads, or redownloaded past purchases on it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - that has no impact on being able to redownload and/or sync content.

  • Installed 8.2.1 - Now iPhone doesn't show up in iTunes

    I just installed iTunes 8.2.1 on my MacBook Pro (10.4.1), and now my iPhone (2.2.1) doesn't show up in iTunes.
    The troubleshooter says to reinstall iTunes (I've already rebooted the phone and the computer to no avail), but that seems risky. I don't want to lose my library. Any other suggestions?

    Hi Cyndi
    I have been fearing what you said about USB 1.0 since I got my first gen iPhone two years ago. I have an older Powerbook G4 that has one USB 1.0 port. When I got my first gen iPhone I never had any problems downloading or syncing with USB 1.0, but then the news of that first big update came along. People were having problems and some of them were being blamed on folks using USB 1.0 when the specs said USB 2.0 was required. So I went online and bought a USB 2.0 card to go into my Powerbook's PCMCIA slot and all was fine. But I still used USB 1.0 from time to tiem and it still worked OK. Slower, but OK.
    I've just updated iTunes to 8.2.1 and I tried my USB 1.0 port and knock on wood my 3GS synced just fine. Odd. ?????
    If you have a PCMCIA slot on your computer, try going to www.macsales.com for a USB 2.0 card.

  • IPhone doesn't show all music when I connect to network in iTunes

    Hi
    In iTunes Preferences on my Mac I've ticked the button to make all my music available over the network.
    When I use the Share option in iTunes on my iPhone it doesn't show all the music on my Mac. Is there something else I should set to make this work?
    Thanks

  • IPhone doesn't show anywhere except in iTunes and device manager.

    My iPhone working, tethering and syncing property but does not show anywhere else. I need to back up the photos after some recent events and on a PC which just creates an encrypted file in an Apple file folder.
    I can see the phone using an external program but the copy functions not there anymore. Picture wizard says there is no camera there. I have tried uninstalling the device and re-install. I have removed and installed iTunes and now have restore the phone completely. Picture wizard says there is no camera there. It does show in device manager and iTunes but oesn't show in Windows Explorer.
    If I plug it into another computer it doesn't show in that either. Had a client over last night and his iPhone showed up on both computers and both started the camera wizard, So I'm thinking it's something in the phone. I need the photos backed up.
    Thanks

    This has really stumped me. I'm fairly well read on the iPhone software and related stuff. I also had some other tech savvy guys here last night and three brains had no answers. One thinks it must be hardware. I tend to disagree with that only because it charges, syncs, restores which tells me the hardware is working fine. i keeping this in mind that it's visible in iTunes(A) and Device Manager(XP). It's not visible in My Computer, Windows, Explorer or Control Panel. I can run a third party application on the iPhone and can see photos but the application won't let me copy them. I have some important photos that I need backed up. I have tried the phone on four other computers and it doesn't show on any where as the other phone shows up and works the way it should on those four computers. Same with reinstalling the drives, first one doesn't install, second one does. That simply narrows it down to the phone. I've restored the phone and it worked perfectly replacing the photos, oh and it was also working 6 weeks ago. So what's stopping it???? Arrr... its got me. I can usually fix those type of issues.
