Complete my Album missing?

Hi everyone....
So, I click on the "complete my album" link in the newest itunes (it's 11 i think? not sure) and it brings me to a page with all the albums I can complete for a reduced price. Well, when I click on those, there is no "complete my album" option and it doesn't say I own any of the songs! I don't want to pay double for the songs I already own! Does anyone know the fix for this?

The iTunes Store apparently turned off several features, including Just For You, Complete My Album, iMix Search and some other stuff I don't remember to speed things up during the Xmas rush. I believe they're supposed to be turned back on in the next couple of days.

Complete my Album - track missing from download!

Hi
I bought a single a while back (Witchcraft - Pendulum) and iTunes offered me to complete my album. I did so, however, the album it downloaded is missing the track that I had originally (Witchcraft) as expected, but as it was a single and not part of the album, it is not included in the album, i.e. if I want to listen to the whole album on my iPod, it misses Witchcraft out because it is in its own album (a single).
Does this make any sense?
Thanks

Same thing has been happneing to me - last 4 or 5 downloads. Very spurious, 1 or two tracks just go missing - they never make it to my hard drive but show up as missing in itunes.
I've contacted Apple support each time and they have re-posted them to my account - but its a real pain. this last time it happened, apple support seemed a little more reluctant to re-post.
This is definitely a new bug in the system - I've downloaded successfully for years and only in the past 6 months have started to experience this.

HT1849 How do I transfer a single song that I purchased into my complete my album so I can have the complete album and not an incomplete album missing the single.

How do I transfer a single that I bought previously before purchasing the complete my album so that I have the complete album and not missing the single?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Not sure what you mean by transfer. I suspect you are trying to get it listed in iTunes as part of the album, in which case you can change the details in 'Get Info'.

Complete my album downloads the missing tracks but then does not place it with the existing tracks in iTunes. i have a single song bought sat on its own and an album with a track missing, any ideas?

I had this same problem and started a thread, but for the most part nobody responded and those who did somehow didn't understand what the problem was.

I'm sure the problem is sweat getting into the apple supplied headphone "remote." Basically even the smallest drop can slide down the wire and get into the unit.
Unfortunately I haven't found a solution other than to get a Belkin remote adapter and some sport headphones. This doesn't give you voice over, but you can still control the volume, skip, etc.
I've been doing this for a couple weeks now and it hasn't had a freak out since.

"Complete My Album" link missing

"Complete My Album" is currently missing under Quick Links. Prior to this disappearance, I had actually been unable to complete my albums at all--the reduced price wasn't showing. I am currently running iTunes 9. Is anyone else having the same issue?

Same problem here in Austria. It showed me the 'complete Album' after buying a song, but the function disappeared the next day. I tried to buy the same song again and didn't even get the message that I had bought the song already. It even doesn't show I bought one song already when viewing the album page.
I wrote to support, but didn't get yet any answer regarding the missing function.

Complete My Album songs missing

Hi
I bought two songs from an album way back, and then a few months later downloaded another two songs from it... I've now just had a look at it on Complete My Album and the first two songs aren't subtracted from the album cost. Is this normal, or a bug?
Cheers

You may need to contact iTunes Store Support about this, though if the tracks were "purchased" using free song codes, or from a single, or ep, they may not be eligible.

HT1849 a single album I already bought can work with the whole album using 'Complete my album'?

I already bought a single album of MUSE (Survival - Single)
and I wanted to buy the whole album of MUSE (The 2nd Law)
then I realized that I could buy other songs except for 'Survival' for $10.7 using 'Complete My Album' (Original price is $11.9)
so I bought 'The 2nd Law' album for $10.7. but there isn't 'Survival' on the 'The 2nd Law' album playlist.
single album and whole album are seperated on the playlist. how I get the whole album playlist??
Do I have to buy 'Survival' in the whole album's list to make perfect 'The 2nd Law' album playlist??
plase help me.

I have this exact same question / issue too and it is definitely something I would LOVE to see Apple fix ASAP. It is especially important to me because so many popular artists release Singles (as Single Albums) weeks or even months in advance of their full album coming out. When I have the choice, I ALWAYS prefer to buy a single song from the album it is on (in case I like the song a lot and want to check out more from that artist) - however, this is often not possible due to the "Single Album" phenomenon. Sidenote: could you just freakin' get rid of Single Albums altogether (when there is an associated real album)? They clutter up the See All Albums view horribly - at least give us a filter or something for the real-deal studio albums vs all the junk.
While it is great that I get "credit" for my purchase from the Single Album towards the real Album (thanks for that Apple), I personally have a strong preference to then see the original single as part of the album instead of as a stand-alone. It's just cleaner organization-wise, easier from a usability standpoint (you can actually listen to the whole album you bought using the album filter!), etc. It would at least be nice to have the choice to "convert" the original single to the Album version, if Apple is concerned about forcing the change (I personally would be happy with a forced change, but if given a choice would always convert).
Please fix this!!!
My example:
-Bought Calvin Harris, "Feel So Close (Radio Edit)" back in March '12 (I think it was released in August '11) for $1.29
-Completed My Album by buying "18 Months" album for $8.70 recently (released Oct 30, 2012)
-Was happy to pay $8.70 instead of $9.99 (got full credit for the $1.29 I spent on the single) - good job Apple
-Am now frustrated that "Feel So Close (Radio Edit)" has different Album info, different Album cover art etc - BAD job Apple
Would love to hear that this is going to be addressed soon - hopefully with a retroactive converter tool too??
PS I realize I could manually adjust the metadata for the track to make it match, but I HATE the idea of doing that. Very clunky solve and I personally would be worried that I missed something or didn't "fully" change everything, the underlying file is not exactly what I would have gotten from the full album version, etc.

Complete My Album and older purchases no longer showing as purchased

I have noticed that on many of my older single song purchases, I do not have the option to complete the album (but on others I do so it isnt some account issue).
It seems that for whatever reason, some albums get re encoded and re uploaded. When that happens they delete the old version from the store but leave it on their servers and your previously purchased songs are still attached to the old no longer available for purchase version. They dont migrate your purchases over to their new replaced version (were talking same exact album here, not a newer extended version or something)
You can re download them from the cloud no problem, but when you view the album in the store, it doesnt show any purchased tracks. If you re purchase one of those tracks it now shows in the cloud that you own it twice. (the album are will usually have slightly different coloring from being rescanned) I downloaded them both and the size was a bit different, the newer one even had a slightly higher bitrate.
Just figured id post this here for anyone not able to complete an album and thinking there is an issue. You can test it by deleting the item from the cloud (it just hides it) then going into the itunes store account area and going to the manage your hidden tracks area. If you sort by songs and click the album name, it will either take you to the album page or tell you that this album is not available in the US store (or whatever region you bought it in). If it says the latter, then you purchases are from an older encoding of that album.
I have no idea why they do it like this, its pretty rediculous and leads to a bunch of issues like the endless threads by confused people not knowing why they cant complete an album. Its because the album you bought a song from isnt for sale anymore, even though one with the same name and songs is.

HT201272 If I go through "Purchased", how will it work for the ones I completed my album & single is no longer available?

Over the years, I've purchased 425 albums (2312 songs total).
I'm upgrading my hard drive, and was wondering how it worked for the 'Purchased' section. If I bought an album with "Complete My Album" and the 'Single' I got in pre-orders (or whatever) is no longer available for purchase, will I get it with my entire album download? Or will I have to go back & re-purchase that song? (considering I notice if the song is missing at all)
(If my rambling makes any sense) Does anyone know? or is this something I should ask Customer Support?

Go into iTunes store on computer. On the right hand side under quicklinks select Purchased. You can redownload any of those songs for free as long as you have authorized your computer. Just click the little cloud, or "download all"

Complete My Album

I am trying to purchase the album Dick Diver - Calendar Days.
Track 2, Alice, already exists on an EP which I have previously downloaded.
iTunes is giving me the "Complete My Album" option, even though this would mean that the album would be missing a track.
I want the album and the EP to both contain all tracks, so changing the metadata is not an option.
How do I download the full album?

Here's an idea. Do the complete my album, doesn't the proper missing track show up with the rest then in the Cloud followoing this for re-downloads?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
So re-download again. If this doesn't work we can try another solution here.

Complete My Album Misinformation

I own all 4 tracks of U2 Live from Under the Brooklyn Bridge. I bought them in 2004. iTunes Store suggests I "Complete My Album" "at a reduced price".
They show one track (Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own) as ready for my purchase. I checked and sure enough -- I already own the track.
Another kicker..
The price for the complete album is $3.96 (four tracks). Apples "bargain offer" price for me to re-purchase track #2 (already in my collection) is $9.00
That's two bugs for the price of one! Shame there is no "report this bug" button on iTunes Music Store.

Update.
I have a large library resulting in over 62 albums which were candidates for "Complete My Album". Here are some notes (keep in my mind I own The Complete U2, and the entire Live from Under the Brooklyn Bridge by U2):
1. I said in a previous post I was offered to buy the remainder of the Brooklyn Bridge album for $9.00. That is incorrect. I was offered $9.00 to buy 10 of 11 tracks to How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (the display showed both side by side -- confusing me earlier). The new feature thinks I am missing 10 of 11 tracks (as I mentioned I own them all).
2. After looking around at my library and matching more Complete My Album offers, I notice that all of the "problem ones" seem to be tied to my U2 collection. When I bought The Complete U2 (I don't think the Live under the Brooklyn Bridge album was included in The Complete U2) in mid December 2004, I, like many people had problems downloading Gigabytes of data in one session from Apple's servers. I remember contacting Apple because the iTunes store "thought" I had all the tracks, but I didn't. They (the iTunes Store) performed a "reset" of my download status for this "album" with more than 400 tracks. This is probably the cause of the issue.
I offer via email to provide my iTunes library XML file and iTunes Database file to anyone at Apple to look at. This is a great feature -- lets get it right! I think I just have some out of kilter data no one could have imagined (2.5 years of iTunes purchases)
Thanks

Why is my Complet My Album not showing up for purchases I made 2 days ago?

I was wondering why after only two days the complete my album for my new songs went away and why my brand new purchased songs do not show up on my itunes store purchased section but they appear in my itunes and I've received the email from apple telling me what I've purchased so I was just confused as to what is going on. Can anyone help?

Hi everybody.
Same thing is appening to me
The rss feed is: http://www.nente.it/Podcast/NenTE-Podcast.xml
The iTunes URL is: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=268671382
My feed has been approved about 10 days ago and still it doesnt appear in search.
Plus it happens the following:
The first days I checked iTunes with the phobos link. The page of my podcast looked correct.
But now, the podcast image seems missing. It has been substituted with a broken chain.
I didn't made any change to my xml file. The linked jpg it hasn't been moved or changed. It can be accessed normally at: http://www.nente.it/Podcast/Nente-Podcast.jpg. I've checked if the <itunes:image> parameter is still correct and if it links to the right file. And it does!
So what happened to my podcast? Why does not appear in search? And why there is a broken chain in my podcast page?
Ooops, just forgot. My feed seems to work properly. Episodes can be downloaded in iTunes and in other Podcast services. The image is displayed properly in theese services.

I can't complete my album in the iTunes Store application.

I purchased one song from an album, and now I want to buy the rest of the album. I used to be able to go into the iTunes Store application or tap "Complete My Album" in the Music app and there would be a button that says "Complete My Album." I tap that button, enter my password, and it does just that.
The problem is, now when I go into the iTunes Store on my iPod, the button says "Partial Album" instead of "Complete My Album", and it's grey, so I can't press it. Therefore, I am forced to buy each individual song instead of the rest of the album. Is anyone else having this problem??

"Complete My Album" is not available for all titles. For some albums one or more tracks have not been licensed and hence the album cannot be completed, and for others the record company just hasn't agreed to allow that feature. It this case is sounds like the album is missing a track in which case the "Complete My Album" feature will not be available.
Regards.

Complete my Album Link

The Complete my Album Link that normally appears under "quick links" has mysteriously gone missing, as of roughly two months ago. At first I thought it was a glitch in my system, or with the then-current version of iTunes. I've updated to new versions of both MacOS and iTunes since, and the link is still nowhere to be found. While I can still complete any eligible album by manually searching for it, it would be really great, Apple, if you can get on this. Anyone with identical trouble, a reply and any advice you could give is greatly appreciated!

Same problem here in Austria. It showed me the 'complete Album' after buying a song, but the function disappeared the next day. I tried to buy the same song again and didn't even get the message that I had bought the song already. It even doesn't show I bought one song already when viewing the album page.

Complete my album complications

When I selected to complete my album on my iPod Touch its downloaded the rest of the album but shows up as a seperate album from the ones I purchased previously. Is there anyway I can get them album into one rather than seperate to help the quality because the songs actually flow into the next.
