Content purchased from iTunes store are downloaded but do not show up in library (iTunes 11) even after manual add

Hi all,
I upgraded to iTunes 11 recently and have now purchased some additional content from the iTunes store. The files have been downloaded but do not show up in my library. A search yields some results but I cannot access the songs in my library nor can I add them to 'up next' although the option is available from the search results menu.
First thing I tried was to add them again manually but the problem persists. Any clues?
Thanks and Best
Frank

OK, I found a solution. Here it goes, just in case anybody else comes across this issue:
I deleted all the relevant entries from the iTunes Libary.xml AND iTunes Music Library.xml files (with iTunes closed, of course) and removed the files on the harddrive library structure to another location. I then restarted iTunes and added the album manually to my library again. In my case, I got iTunes to handle my library and the files were thus copied back to my old structure by the iTunes. To finish I reimported the album artwork and that was that.
Hope that I won't encounter this issue with future purchases under iTunes11, this workaround IS a bit of a hassle!

HT201272 A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are on my iTunes, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod.

A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are in my iTunes library, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. There is no common thread for the origin of the songs--many were ripped from CD's, others purchased in the iTunes store. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod without any issues.

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

Purchased a song from iTunes on my iPad but its not showing up on my MacBook Pro

Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Thanks! For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine. It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do. The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
So, thanks anyway! Pretty cat!

My iPod touch is synced to my old Mac and I have a new PC. Now when I plug my iPod into the new computer it will make the connection sound, but will not show up in my iTunes. I do not care to have the content copied over. Any suggestions?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Hey there Kellee,
It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
1. Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
2. Check the USB cable
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.

HT4527 I had an iTune account on a laptop that crashed. I just downloaded iTunes on current laptop, but am not able to find any info, or even how to login as I used to, from old laptop?? What do I do?

I had a laptop, an Averatec, for almost 7 years when it crashed. The OS on that laptop was Windows XP. On that pc, I had an iTunes account, I have no idea what version it was, however, the pc crashed nearly 6 months ago, if that helps. I have just downloaded iTunes on my current laptop, a 2 year old Toshiba with Windows 7. I also have an iPad, and I just purchased an iPad2, which is why I downloaded iTunes at this time. I need it in order to sync my new iPad. My problem/question is this- I can not find any way to login in to iTunes using my old account name & password, therefore, everything that I had in my music library and all other items are no longer accessible. I can still get into the iTunes store using my Apple I.D., but that does me no good in finding the other items. As I said, I don't see where a login & password is needed for this version of iTunes, yet I definately have one that I used in the past. Am I just out of luck, or is there a way to find my previous purchases? Thanks for any assisstance. I am NOT a tech geek (I don't mean to offend), can barely send an email, so I need all the help I can get! (BTW, as I was watching the tutorials once iTunes downloaded, I paused, backed-up, played, paused, etc.; and THEY ALL quit playing on me! I'm gadget cursed.)

Copy them from your old computer, or your backuo copy of your old computer. to your new one.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. the exception is itunes purchases.

I want to purchase from the store .. But confirmation was asked and i forgot the answers of the security question and also i lost the alternative email .. What can i do !!

Please help

Hello Alyssa420,
It sounds like you are trying to download your pre ordered album but are unable to download it. I would reach out to our iTunes store support by reporting a problem with the purchase with this article:

Copied ITunes from Old to New Comp. but Files NOT showing up in new Library

SO, I used my IPod to copy my ITunes Library from my work computer to my home computer. Now in my Music folder both of the libraries are there- but when I open ITunes it is still all of my old music... none of the new music is showing up. I can manually "Add Folder to Library" but this seems ******** since the folder is already LIVING in my library... HELP.

Had to drag all folders into my ITunes --- not just the ITunes Music Folder.
