Can't find music that is supposed to be available

I don't know if I'm losing my mind, but two weeks ago when I did a search in the iTunes Music Store for Frank Zappa, about 20 different albums came up that were available for purchase.
Yesterday when I went in to download some of this music, the search results came up with absolutely nothing with him as the artist. There is a link towards the top under "Artists" for him, and when I click on it, it takes me to some sort of artist page where it says, "Zappa's complete collection is now available on iTunes." But, that doesn't seem to be the case at all. Only one album displays, and it isn't even his album, just some sort of tribute album. I can't find a single song by him.
I'm really frustrated because I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if iTunes is just messed up. And it makes me wonder if I can't find these songs, what other songs is iTunes not displaying when I do a search?
If you can give me any help, I'd sure appreciate it.

You're not crazy - it's not you. I can't find them by just typing "zappa" or "Frank Zappa" in the search field, either.
I tried browsing for them, got to Rock > Art/Prog ROck > Frank Zappa. First time it gave me an error 50.
2nd time, it came up blank.
Third time I got some results.
"Weasels RIpped My Flesh", "Freak Out" were in the album list.
Then it told me not available in the US.
I suggest getting them from emusic.com, higher bitrate and no DRM.

  • HT1391 I can't find music that I have bought in my library

    help! I have bought some music. I can see it in my recent puchases and I can play it. but when i search in my main library I can not find it anywhere.

    If you're using iOS 7 or 8, tap on the Settings app, then on "Music", and then check "Show All Music" is on. Then go to the Music app and find the album. Click on Download and that's it. You should also be able to download it by going to the "Purchased" link under "Quick Links" on the right-hand side of the iTunes Store homepage and selecting "Music".
    If you're using an old version of iOS such as iOS 6.1.6 or lower (until 4.3.3), go to the iTunes app, tap on "More", "Purchased" and "Music", then tap on "Not on This iPhone/iPod/iPad" and search for the album.

  • How do I find music that has been uploaded to iTunes from a purchased CD and iTunes is "unable to find the original file?" I no longer have the CD. I have tried all the usual methods of looking in my iTunes library and through Find. No Luck.

    Backup drive?
    Subscribe to iTunes Match?
    If neither of the above and you don't have the CD and can't find your tracks on the computer then they you're stuck.  A file recovery utility will cost $100, plus another $100 for an external drive to which to resue the files, and may not even work.  You can buy a lot of CDs for $200.

    Many of the tunes have exclamation marks by them and iTunes says they "cannot be found". If I do a search throughout my computer I find the songs. But it is very inconvenient.

  • I can't find apps that I've just downloaded out of I tunes on my Mac mini

    I can't find apps that have been downloaded on my Mac mini

    When you say you downloaded apps "out of iTunes" that would imply iOS apps for the iPhone or iPad. Those will be found in ~/Music/ITunes/Mobile Applications where ~/ indicates your home folder. You can install them on the iDevice by attaching it to your computer with a USB cable and launching iTunes.
    I you meant you downloaded them from the App Store, those are only for OS X and will be automatically installed in the /Applications folder on the hard drive root.

  • Can't find music - any music - on itunes

    Can't find music - any music - on itunes. Plenty of apps for iphone, etc. But no music. I know itunes has music. Just no link for it. And no I do NOT mean itunes on my MacBookPro; I'm talking about itunes in the cload.

    Then download the media that has been purchased.  This happens automatically when new media is purchased.

  • HT201272 Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased I had no problem retrieving from itunes with no charge but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again.

    Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased had no problem downloading to my new phone from itunes with no charge, but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again. How can I get these songs to my new phone without having to buy them again?

    Whether you can re-download music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it remains in the store). If you don't have a Music section in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading it, then do you not have you library on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download

  • How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

    Hi !
    I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
    When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
    But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
    That brings me to my question.
    How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
    I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
    Has anybody a good hint for me?
    Thomas

    You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

    Help! I just purchased a US sim card/monthly pre-paid plan (i am from Canada) as I am travelling in the states for a month, and when I went to restore the iphone, it didn't work. I can't find backup that i did right before the sim was changed. I really need the info that was there! Please help..

    Hold on,
    Have you talked to your carrier to confirm the unlock?
    What was the procedure you did to unlock the phone?
    Standard unlocking procedure once processed by the carrier:
    Backup in iTunes
    Erase the phone (ignore restore terminology here)
    Plug the phone to the computer and then launch iTunes
    Wait for unlock notification.
    Restore the backup.

  • I have an iMac running OX 10.5.8 I need a portable external harddrive to back it up before updating the software to Yosemite but I can't find anything that doesn't require you to be running at least OX 10.6.  Is there a suitable hard drive?

    I have an iMac running OX 10.5.8
    I need a portable external hard drive to back it up before updating the software to Yosemite but I can't find anything that doesn't require you to be running at least OX 10.6.  Is there a suitable hard drive?  I'm not very technical and wouldn't know how to do any formatting so I want it to be very basic so that I can just plug it in.  500GB should be more than adequate.

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

  • How do i reset my security questions? I can't find anything that will let me change them

    I need to reset my security questions but i can't find anything that says reset questions here.

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset - which will normally be by phone as they need to confirm your id and that it's your account.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Can't play music that I have bought

    I dont have the same username on my mac in OS X. Which leads to problem to deauthorize my itunes account. I can’t play music that I buy, and free movies doesn’t work either. I know this is the problem, cause I have tried to reformat using my old account name in OS X, which led to no problems in iTunes. I don’t want to use my old account name (OS X).

    My old username in OS X----->karasjok
    My present username in OS X----->Stian
    iTunes account is not the same username as in OS X, I am aware of that. Problem is that I can’t play music bought from iTunes, neither can I deauthorize my iTunes account.
    But if I reformat my OS X, use my old username, all of my music bought from iTunes plays well.
