Albums showing up in phone but not itunes

Years ago when is till have my iphone 4 I purchased several albums from itunes which has been saved into icloud. When i got my 5S I was able to download the albums from icloud to the new phone.
Problem I am having now is that the albums arent showing up in itunes when i sync it with the computer, nor does it show in purchases (which everything was purchased the came account). I need to get these albums off my phone.
I hate itunes complicated ways to store music. Nothing ever works like it should. It should be EASY for me to drag and drop items to my phone and remove them but apple makes it so hard!!! 

Hello there, SilverStarWing.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for downloading past iTunes Store purchases:

One important thing to keep in mind, if the content is not available in the iTunes Store any longer, it won't be available to download.
Additionally, this article goes over transferring content from your iOS device to your computer as well:

  • Bought a whole album and I only wanted a few songs and now all songs from album are on my phone but not my mac

    Okay so today one of my friends used my phone to sign in to his Apple I.D I don't know why? Anyway...once he logged off there was a whole album I bought and I only wanted a few songs from that album and deleted the songs I didn't want but somehow those songs I deleted from the album showed up on my Music on my iPhone but not my Mac. I tried to download it so I could delete it but it says in 90 days you can use another Apple I.D to download songs. Is there a way I can delete the songs I don't want from that album but keep the songs I want? Help?

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a backup device.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • Can't Permanently My Apps.  Shows in App Store but not iTunes.

    There are a couple of apps that are in my Purchased "Not on this phone" section. I deleted "yes, I've tried reinstalling it" the apps from my phone but as I connect it to my computer, it is no where to be found in the App section of my iTunes.  I've synced it multiple times but will not show on my iTunes for me to permanently delete. Other apps aren't an issue. Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  • Ipod showes up on windows but not itunes

    I am having trouble getting my ipod synced back up with itunes. I have tried everything as far as uninstalling itunes and bonjour and all the others.I also tried updating drivers and a few other suggestions from tech support. I brought my ipod to a friends house and it showed up on his computer. So we tried to see if his ipod would show up on my itunes and it did. Also windows recognizes the ipod but something is keeping the itunes software on my computer from connecting to my ipod touch. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I have tried several places and everyone seems to be stumped.

  • Photo Albums showing up in iWeb but not in published site

    I'm publishing to an FTP server using Transmit. The site address is chrisfitzgeraldmusic.com . All of the other pages publish perfectly, but the photo albums page has never published correctly. In the past, some albums have shown up, others haven't. Within the ones that showed up, some pictures were displayed while others weren't. Just today I tried to fix this by deleting all the albums and putting in a single iPhoto album which I also rebuilt. The album displays perfectly in iWeb, but shows up as a blank photo albums page when I publish it to the FTP server. Any ideas? I'm at my wits end.

    For some reason not all of the files are getting uploaded. Publish to a folder on your hard drive and open the site with your browser to make sure the photos and albums are getting created as they should.
    If you using iWeb's ftp client to upload to your server then try publishing to a folder on the hard drive first and use a 3rd party ftp client like the freeCyberduck or Transmit to upload the files to the server. This might help also: Old Toad's Tutorial #2 - Uploading only those published new or newly edited files when using a 3rd party FTP client.
    If you are already publishing to a folder what ftp client are you using? If it's not Cyberduck give it a try. It's well thought of here in the forums.

  • Phone number shows up on phone but not the bill?

    some times there is 9999999999  on the bill and other times the phone will show who called that phone but the bill doesnt happens more than once. i was wondering if it had to do with a seprate phone getting forwarding to that phone

        I'm glad you're checking your bill so closely lulubee2323. When the bill shows 9999999999 for the number, that means the Caller ID was either unavailable or blocked. This can be from people calling the phone directly or calls that are forwarded but there was no Caller ID available. Those calls will generally not show in your call log because there was no actual number that appeared in your phone, so there's nothing to save the call's place in the log.

  • Purchase showing up in iStore, but not iTunes...

    I've downloaded a song from iTunes on my computer; it's showing up as a purchase on the iStore, but not in purchases on iTunes, so I can't put it on my device. What the **** is wrong with it, and for the love of god, how do I fix it?
    Thanks!
    (my iTunes is old, by the way... I haven't updated it since the iOS came in, because my iTouch is a senior citizen)

  • HT201209 loaded an itunes card on my phone.  It shows on my phone but not in the itunes store from the computer even after syncing

    We purchased an itunes card last night and my daughter loaded it right on her phone.  Her phone shows the proper credit.  All our devices our hooked to the same account.  When we look at the itunes store on my computer and my son's ipod it the credit does not show.  We tried syncing and still it does not show.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    Are you viewing on 'Videos' or did you find it in your music list?

  • Ipod nano shows in my computer but not ITunes

    I have a windows xp and I have some Ipod 4s that i want to reset them and sell them. Whenever I connect either of the 3 of them, they all go on a dim screen that says 'do not dissconnect' and I can't do anything on them. If i go to my computer and eject them then I can go through the ipod but it still won't show up in ITunes. It will charge fine, that is no problem, I just can't get it to show up on itunes... Help please!

    Hello, friend. You may try these steps.
    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
