Cannot see the "purchased tab" in iTunes app

A week ago, my iPhone 4 was accidently removed and deleted from my iCloud account, which means all the content was removed from it. And ofcourse i was not prepared, but i was stupid enough to not backup my music and all that stuff. And my music was gone. Then i found this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 , where it's described how to locate and redownload your music from iTunes. But this tab is not showing up anywhere on my iPhone. And neither on my iPad (3rd gen). Any suggestion? :-)
Btw my iPhone 4 is running iOS 5.1.1

Try this from iTunes on a computer
Make sure itunes is up to date, click Help > Check for update if you are on windows.
When you click on iTunes Store in iTunes, and the store pulls up, make sure you are signed in to the itunes store (Should see your appleid or "Sign IN" at the top right of the store)
once you are signed in, the purchased tab is listed on the right with a big blue "NEW" bubble next to it
use that to download any missing content to your computer, and then sync it to the phone
if you do not see the purchased tab on the phone then you are not up to date with your os software, or you are looking in the wrong place

I don't see the Purchased tab in iTunes on my iPad.

I've updated everything to it's latest versions (itunes10.4,iPad 4.3.5). What am I doing wrong? Someone please help!!!

What do you mean?

IPad (1), I don't see the "purchased" tab in App Store.

I just got iOs 4.3.5, and I don't see the purchased tab in the App Store, or in iTunes. I do however see it in the iBooks app. Is this because I'm using the oringal iPad? I've tried a restart, and deleting it from the multi-task bar. Any ideas?

No. I have the original iPad and it all works for me. It always has.
Lets try this next. If you haven't downloaded anything since the iOS update why don't you download any free app - anything. Even free apps show up in the purchased tab. See if you download an app maybe it will reset something and the purchased tab will show up. It's worth a try and there are tons of free apps. You could try the same thing with any free iTunes content like the free single of the week or a free movie trailer - just to see if the tab shows up.

try
In th App Store menu click on "Store" and "View My Account"
Under the "iTunes in the Cloud" section of the new window that appears there were 2 "Hidden Purchases".
Click on "View Hidden Purchases" and then click on "Unhide" on OS X Lion (assuming it is there - mine was).
It will now re-appear in your puchases section and you can re-download and install if necessary.

If you are sure that you are authorizing the correct account/ID then:

I cannot see the Source List in iTunes. How do I get it back? Thanks!

I cannot see the Source List in iTunes. How do I get it back? I am trying to eject my ipod classic, and there is no option to do so, because I cannot see the ipod, let alone the source list in itunes. I'm also unable to restore my ipod, and I get a message saying it is corrupt,and now I can't even eject it! What do I do?!? Thanks!

Hello twangchick,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
You can use the steps in this article to view the device list in iTunes and eject your iPod. The steps are slightly different for the different version of iTunes:
Locate and view your connected iPhone, iPad or iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
I know it can be frustrating to have a device that isn't working as it should, and this link may also help with restoring your iPod classic:
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
If your iPod can't be restored normally, try placing it into Disk Mode. See the instructions under "iPod devices with a Click Wheel" in this article:

Sincerely,

Cannot find the Radio tab in Itunes ver 11.1.5

Cannot find the Radio tab in Itunes ver 11.1.5. I can find the internet tab for streaming radio. But according to the help there should also be a Radio tab.

The 'Radio' tab is for 'iTunes Radio', a new Apple service which is not yet available in many areas.

How To Delete A Old App From The Purchased Tab In Your App Store On You Apple Device.

Hi , i Need Help On Finding The Way To Delete An Old App Record Out Of Your iTunes Dowload Log Which Is Located In The App Store. I Know You used To Be Able To Delete The Record that You Downloaded The App, But If Forgot How. Does Any One Remember How To ?
You Used To BeAble To Click On Purchased , & This Would Pop Up ,
& This Would Pop Up & From This Page , You Would Be Able To Click On the App & Delete It From There . But i Cant Anymore !
Does Anyone Know How To ?

You can't permanently delete any items, bu you can hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased tab via you computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
I haven't tried it for a couple of weeks, but with iOS 7 after hiding an app on my computer's iTunes I was needing to log out of my account on my device by tapping on my id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logging back in for it to then become hidden in the Purchased tab

If I am not seeing the summary tab in itunes, how do I find it?

How do I find the summary tab in Itunes?

You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.

When I click tools|options, I cannot see the options tabs

Normally the options window has a set of tabs at the top, but when I click tools | options all I can see is the general tab, no tabs are shown and I cannot move the window down. I am operating with a screen resolution of 800x600 and have tried in both normal mode and safe mode. However, if I change the resolution to 1024x768 I can see the options tabs, but it is difficult for me to see with impaired vision. How can I fix this to be able to see all the options using 800x600 screen resolution?

cor-el - seeing the menu is not the problem. Not being able to see the options tabs is the problem.But now I can see those also in normal mode with only some of previously active add-ons disabled. . I am suspecting an add-on, but not sure which one, and don't have time at the moment to disable-reenable them one at a time.

What's the origin of this external drive? It sounds very much like it's a Windows-formatted (NTFS) drive which Macs can't write to. If you can, copy the files off the drive, reformat it as Mac format (using Disk Utility) and copy the files back. If you need to continue writing to it from a Windows PC, you should format it ExFAT in Disk Utility.

Why don't I see the Info tab in iTunes, after connecting my iPhone to my Mac?

How can i find the "Info" tab in iTunes when I connect my iPhone to my apple pro to sync?

Great, but how do I sync my non-Apple email accounts?
Punch them in manually?? It used to be so simple, tick a box = email accounts set up automatically

Using most recent version of iTunes with Iphone 5, I cannot see the phone screen on iTunes.

I am using the most recent version of iTunes and when I connect my iPhone 5 to my Windows 7 pc, I can no longer see the screens for the iPhone in iTunes. I want to see them so I can rearrange my app icons. I see the apps but not in a iPhone screen view and they cannot be moved.

First, are you positive it is really not there? Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Why can't I see the radio tab in iTunes?

I can't see a radio tab in my iTunes. Anyone know why?

If you are using an iOS device, "iTunes Radio" is located under the music app, not iTunes.
If you are trying to acess iTunes Radio from your Mac or PC, make sure you are updated to the latest iTunes, 11.1.0

HT203167 My purchase music from iTunes is missing tracks. missing tracks are not showing in the purchased tab in iTunes

I cannot recover My itnes purchased music from the recovery section. more than half the tracks are missing in the Camilo sesto 20 exitos.

I have the same problem - they AREN'T hidden. They aren't visible on computer, iPad or iPhone with match on. Obviously something screwed in the purchase history. Even if I have backups they will count against the 25,000 track limit for iTunes in the cloud - which is a bit of an issue as I have 24,997 non-purchased track already.
A bit of an issue for someone who's bought a lot from iTunes over the years - and not helped by being unable to get an answer from support. Oddly if I switch match off a few of them become available.
Any suggestions - apart from contact support (I'm still waiting) - appreciated
