Does Apple delete purchased items from our devices?

A song which I purchased last December has been removed from my MacBook Pro without my instigation or permission. When I tried to download it again I now must buy the entire album, which I don't want. I suspect this deletion was done by Apple. I'm glad I still have the song on my iPhone, iPad and iPod, where it had been synched. What is Apple's policy about removing items which have been purchased from a user's library? I am very hesitant to make any future buys.
MacBook Pro always has the latest system (currently 10.9.4)
iPhone IOS 7.1.2
iPod IOS 1.1.3
iPad IOS 7.1.2
The song was purchased on 12/9/13.

Where are you looking ? My account's purchase history (Store > View Account menu option) shows all of my purchases. If you mean in the Purchased link for redownloading then have you changed countries since buying the items ?

Deleting a contact list item through Powershell in sharepoint 2010 synced with outlook 2010, does not delete the item from outlook.

hi All,
I have a requirement for updating the contact list from CSV file and updating/ adding and deleting the changes in the SharePoint list using PowerShell script. List is also synced with outlook.
The problem arises, when we delete an item from the list using PS, the item (which was earlier synced with outlook) is not getting deleted from outlook.
Strange behavior : when we perform the same deletion operation manually from the SharePoint UI, every thing works fine as required.
Please refer the below PS
#Adding the records from SharePoint not in CSV file
if($flag -ne 1)
Get-Member -InputObject $csvRow -MemberType NoteProperty | ForEach-Object {
$property = $_.Name
$newItem.set_Item($property, $csvRow.$property)
$newItem.Update()
#Deleting the records from SharePoint not in CSV file
CreatePSLog "Deleting the records from SharePoint not in CSV file"
foreach($itm in $List.items)
$del = 0
$items | ForEach-Object {
if($itm["SAP Ansprechpartnernr"] -eq $_."SAP Ansprechpartnernr")
$del++;
if(!$del)
$List.GetItemById($itm.Id).Delete()
$List.Update();
$Web.Update();
many thanks in advance, Please suggest as I am completly stuck on this :(
Regards, Arun kumar

Hi Kumar,
Please remove the codeline $List.Update();, then run your code again, it works for me.
You may need to firstly delete the synced contacts list within Outlook to remove those undeleted accounts, then re-connect the SharePoint contacts list to outlook, then run your modified Powershell code.
Thanks

Version 11.0.04 does not have a "BUY ALL" selection when I go to purchase item from MY WISHLIST

Version 11.0.4 does not have a "BUY ALL" selection when I go to purchase item from MY WISHLIST. I have to purchase each song individually......A bit tedious don't ya think?

Other people have commented about the same thing - you can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe it'll be brought back in a future update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

How can I delete an item from the main left column of iTunes?

I'd like to delete an item from the main left hand column in iTunes (the column containing the main headings LIBRARY, STORE, SHARED, PLAYLISTS etc etc). Under the first heading 'LIBRARY' appear the items Library, Music, Movies, iTunes U, Books, Apps and Ringtones. I'd like to remove the item "Library" from that list - it appears immediately after the heading "LIBRARY" and serves no purpose whatsoever. (Neither does it appear to cause any harm, I must say, just a nuisance.) This item does not appear in any of the iTunes viewing options or controls lists. Neither does it appear in iTunes in the other accounts on my Mac and I have yet to see it any other iTunes on any other Mac.
I've upgraded since about iTunes 8 assuming the problem would eventually disappear through the upgrades but it hasn’t, even through all the providedupgrade increments available for iTunes.
I'm assuming it's from something I've installed in my main user account at some stage and it entered this item in the iTunes app. But I can't see how to remove it. The only things I can remember installing are "iTunes Batch Column Renamer" and "Join Together", both if which are just Scripts and which I use fairly regularly, but I don't recall either of them installing that particular item.
Is there any folder I can navigate to to edit the list of items in that main left hand column of iTunes?
Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

on second thought, that you have an item "library" is indeed odd - there shouldn't be.
suggest you try removing iTunes completely (click here and follow the instructions), then reinstall it using the standalone installer from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
note this will not do anything to your media files, playlists, ratings, etc.
btw, you didn't install any 3rd party tools like this script:
Change Hidden iTunes Preferences v2.4
This application will allow you to invoke hidden iTunes preferences:
Show "Library" playlist
Changing view setting is global
Allow half-stars in ratings
Hide "Ping" buttons
Show/hide arrow links -- to either search the iTunes Store or search your library
Load complete iTunes Store preview before playing
Create playlists for purchased song collections
Play songs while importing or converting
Create file names with track number
Maintain grid view for Search results

How do I move and store my purchased items from itunes from my pc to icloud?

I'm trying to watch a rented movie on my pc through itunes, but itunes won't let me download anymore because my pc lacks memory. So I'm trying to free up some ram on my pc, by storing all of my purchased items from itunes on my pc and moving it to my icloud account. Will that solve the problem? And how do I do that exactly?

Hi DKX31,
To set up iCloud on your PC, you will want to follow the instructions in this article -
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.

If you want to keep your purchased content in the iCloud, you will want to enable iTunes match

Transform purchased items from iphone to itunes

Dear Apple support,
While I tried to update my 5s to 7.0.4. itunes asked to back up my purchased items. I tried to download my purchased items as the instruction shown herehttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
However, I couldnt find any purchased items. I have paid a few apps but I have removed the apps couple weeks ago while I was still using iphone4. I noticed the purchased items became free next time I try to download them after removed from my phone. I am just wondering is there any other ways that I can download my purchased items to my itunes, since I cant locate them from my phone no matter I tab "all' or "not in this iphone"?
Many thanks,
Friedlittlefish

You can always re-download the item (an app?) when in iTunes without additional cost. You can also connect the device to itunes, choose the device from the device list and then from the iTunes menu (the File menu??) you can select to sync new items from the device to itunes.

Download deleted all information from BB device.

sofware version v4.2.0.64
according to desktop BB that I downloaded recently with my BB device attached at time of download had deleted all information from BB device. After download I was not aware all information was deleted from device, including all numbers. I deleted the old desktop BB which I had some information, Possibly also backup, and the new download cannot find any pics or backup from other desktop BB.
thanks

Hello,
It sounds like you allowed the BB Desktop Software to perform an update of your BB OS. Doing so often indeed wipes out all data, but the process includes (unless you override it) an automatic backup and restore. Something must have gone wrong in that process. Hopefully the backup file was indeed created and you can use it. Search your entire hard drive for a file with IPD extension (*.IPD)...look at the date/time of the files that come up in the search. Hopefully one was created around the same time you were doing this update. If so, then you can use it to restore:

How to delete purchased tunes from iPhone?

I am undable to delete purchased tunes from my iPhone (4s, ios7.0.2) I can delete all other tunes through syncing on iTunes. However, purchased tunes remain on my iPhone. To the right of the title of the tune there is an image of a cloud with a arrow pointing downward. This indicates that the tune is to be downloaded. This is strange, as these tunes are already in iTunes. I tried touching the cloud to download the tunes onto my iPhone. Once all were downloaded, I went to settings, general, usage and to the music app. The I went to edit and delete. This did no good. The tunes are still there. I have tried this several times. On my last attempt, I download the tunes again (on my iPhone), the synced with iTunes. The tunes on my iPhone were temporarly gone, but soon came back. I do not want any of these tunes on my iPhone at this time. I don't know how to get rid of them.

Hi clydedrnd,
When you see the song with the cloud icon, that means that the song is not on the phone, but can be downloaded from iCloud. If you would like to permantly delete the song from iCloud, you may find the following article helpful:

My iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro. it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro. it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone. However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized. How do I fix this?

You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.
