I recently bought a iphone 4s and wanted to transfer my music to it and not everything will transfer. When I search the albums I have purchased it shows that I have purchased them but they won't download and wants me to buy each song again individually...HELP!!

  • U2 album showing purchased but can't download on my iPhone

    When I go on iTunes the album shows purchased but I can't find it ANYWHERE on my phone.  I'm aware of the fixes from my desktop but I haven't seen any to download it on my phone (I'm not near my desktop).
    Thanks

    You should be able to download it by turning on Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under 'show all') 'on' - it should then show in the Music app with a cloud icon against it so that you can download it.
    Or go to the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app, select Music, Not On This iPhone and it will probably show under 'Various', not U2 - it should correctly show as U2 in the Music when it's downloaded

  • I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes shows album as purchased but album is not in my Mac library.

    I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes store shows album as purchased but album does not show up in my Mac library. How can I retrieve the album.

    So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.
    hope others find this useful.

  • The new U2 album shows purchased via the itunes store on my windows computer, but doesn't appear in my library

    the new U2 album shows purchased via the itunes store on my windows computer, but doesn't appear in my library

    On your Windows computer, go to the iTunes Store. On the right column of the iTunes Store under QUICK LINKS, you'll see an option called Purchased. Click on that and you'll see all items that are tied to your iTunes Store account. You should see the U2 album there and you can download it from the cloud. You'll now have a copy stored on your Windows computer.

  • My bank statement shows purchases that I did not buy!

    My bank statement shows purchases that I did not buy. There is an extra transaction that I did not make but I am being charged for. I have receipts for all my purchases and I did not recieve one for this transaction. What do I do?
    -Sharon

    Is this perhaps a new account, and this transaction is for $ 1.00? If so, that the normal hold charge almost all online vendors use to verify the validity of the account. It'll be reversed in a few days.
    If that's not the case - it's not a new iTunes Store account or the charge isn't for $ 1.00, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form at the bottom of the Purchase Issues FAQ web page and explain the problem to them.
    Regards.

  • I've recently change my Apple ID email so I've recently  went to the App Store to download some apps that I've bought a while ago and none of them are showing. I've also searched for the app and wants me to buy it again.

    Do you remember the old Apple ID and password?  If so try using that.
    Otherwise contact support at the App Store:

  • I was instructed to deinstall Bridge in trying to update it.   Adobe now wants me to buy it again?

    In trying and failing to update Bridge CC to decode Nikon NRW raw files, I was instructed to deinstall Bridge.  This I did, but now Adobe wants me to buy it again. Where in my subscription to CC can I download Bridge?  Why does Bridge CC not decode NRW by now?

  • I ordered a ringtone that came as a song and did not appear in a position to be added.  It did not show up but came through as a song and asking me to add it to a playlist.  This is not what I wanted to do and I promptly follow the prompt to "Buy"

    I ordered a ringtone that came as a song and did not appear in a position status to be added.  It did not show up but came purchased as a song and now asking me to add it to a playlist.  This is not what I wanted to do and I promptly follow the prompt to "Buy more options" to get what I thought was a ringtone.  Please help!

    The ONLY place to buy a ready made ringtones is from the iphone itself from the itunes app, then "More">"Ringtones"
    If you bought from your computer, then you need to create the ringtone.  You can create a ringtones from just about any song/sound file for free.
    Google will find several ways to do this.

  • HT1491 My iPad only shows one song from a whole album I purchased on iTunes from my Macbook. iTunes only shows the album as purchased but will not allow me to download to iPad.

    I bought a full album on iTunes but the iTunes on my iPad mini will not allow me to download the full album. It shows that I have purchased the item but the purchase does not show up in my "Purchase" tab of iTunes on my iPad. I have updated my iPad completely. I have spent all weekend trying to fix this issue and I am so frustrated!!

    Thanks for the reply! I am using the same username for my Macbook and iPad but had to update my Apple ID to a current email. After I did that I updated my iPad to the current system and then my iTunes stopped recognizing my purchases. It wasn't until JUST NOW that my original Apple ID would allow my password to delete itself from the iPad. So the issue seems solved now. User error.
    Thank you!

  • Why can't I download songs I have purchased in the past? I checked the account information (purchase history) and when I go into the iTunes Store and search for the song it wants me to buy it again and there is no way to just re-download it.

    Can someone please tell me how to get those songs if I even can. I do not want to have to rebuy these songs that I already payed for

    Hello Olivia,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iTunes purchases.  It sounds like you may have been looking in the Account Information page, but there is a separate Purchases section you can download the songs from.
    I recommend downloading your purchases directly to your computer using the Purchases page in the iTunes Store using these steps:
    Download previous iTunes Store purchases to an authorized computer
    Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
    Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
    In the page that appears, select a category. 
    iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download. If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.
    To download all available items, click Download All.
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12491
    Additionally, you can download the songs to your iPhone using the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" in this article:

  • I can't download the new U2 album, says purchased, but is not there

    the new free download for U2's latest album is not working for me - it shows as purchased, but when following your instructions, it does not appear in my purchased music in itunes or any of my devices, please help.

    Hi emaildaniels,
    On your computer, click on iTunes in the top menu, click on Preferences, and then on the Store tab. Make sure that "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" is checked. You should now be able to see the album in your Music library with a little cloud next to it. Click on the cloud to download it.
    On your devices, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and under "Show All" make sure that the Music button is on.
    Cheers,

  • Album says purchased but not in library

    My Album says it was purchased but does not show up in my library.

    You should be able to it by ticking the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) - it should then show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it for downloading (downloading the booklet for it this way may not work, you may get a 'corrupt file' message when trying to open it).
    Or go to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage and you should be able to download it from there (at one point it was listed under 'Various', not 'U2', not sure if it's been corrected).
    A third option is to sign out of your account (Store > Sign Out menu option), find the album in the store and then click on its free 'price' button - you should then be prompted to sign back in and the album should download.

  • HT201272 I bought an album on itunes but it is missing a song.

    I bought an album yesterday that I already had a song from as a single. This track is not showing as part of the album, and iTunes doesn't show that I have purchased this, so I can't download it again. I know I still have the song, but I'd like it to show in the album, and not have to get to it through the single. Does anyone know how I can do this? Feel slightly cheated as I paid full price for the album but it is missing a song.

    If music redownloads are free in your country, delete and redownload it. If not, click here and request assistance.
