Put in my iTunes card. Bought 3 songs now I can't find them on my iPad. They are not with all my old songs I bought?

Hello Mchvaughan,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
To unhide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
If you're not already signed in, choose Store > Sign in.
Choose Store > View My Account. (You may be asked to enter your password again).
On your Account Information summary, scroll down to the "iTunes in the Cloud" section and click Manage.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, TV shows, Apps, or Books from the top.
Click the Unhide button next to the item you would like to restore.
If they are not hidden they may have been purchased on a different apple id.
Best of luck,

Unable to delete songs from my iPad 2

Last night for the first time ever I had problems updating iOs (version 7.0.4) on my iPad 2. I kept getting one of several messages, for example, saying: iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes. I went through the update three times before it finally worked.
Then I found that I had every song that I had ever purchased cluttering up -- and filling up -- my iPad. Although in the past I was able to delete either a single song or an entire album, I am now UNABLE TO DELETE ANY SONG.
I have the iTunes setting on Manual update and have attempted to completely disconnect the disgusting iCloud feature. However, it appears that iCloud is NOT disconnected.
I happily use the iPad 2 ONLY for a very few uses on a daily basis. I wish to control ALL my music from my iMac.
I've been with Apple since 1984, but I'm seriously thinking of ditching this iPad 2 for a Samsung product.
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Somehow I got 12 songs on my ipad mini that I could not remove.
I stumbled across a solution. Plug in the ipad and UN-check "sync music" to remove all but the remaining unwanted song. Find the song in your itunes library and right click these unwanted songs and RE-ADD it directly to the ipad.
The ipad should automatically re-check "sync music" and show one song being synced. Now manually UN-check the sync music box again and the warning will come up "are you sure...existing songs...removed". Select remove and click the "apply" button in itunes. Once the changes are applied, you should see the song remove itself from your ipad.
Good luck!

HT1386 I have original songs on my iPad that were synced with iTunes on my PC. PC crashed and all data was lost. How can I sync everything from my iPad to my new PC?

I need to get songs from my iPad to my PC as all songs on my PC were lost when PC crashed.

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from other sites or copied from CDs, then have you not got a copy of them on a backup (e.g. an external drive) ? If not then you'll need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPad

When I try to delete a song from my ipad, why does it still show up as being on it in iTunes?

Just like the question says, Ive deleted the songs from the ipad and when i look in the ipad, they show up grey.

You don't need to delete them form iTunes on your computer. Notice the dotted circles next to the songs. That indicates that the songs are essentially in limbo. They may not be on your iPad or they might appear in the Music app but will not play.
Sometimes unsyncing those songs will totally remove those ghost traces of the music nd sometimes, you have to restore the iPad to get rid of those traces of the songs.
If you Google "grey dotted circles next to songs in iTunes" you will find a plethora of articles that talk about this.

HT4623 bought songs of iPhone ,have synced to iPad ,songs gone to iPad not iMac or phone

itunes songs went to ipad , but not iphone when purchased off the phone ,message download error, tap to start

I don't think I have made myself clear... I have recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to a 5 so everything was set up to sync with no problems at all. I transferred everything across to my new device by iCloud and everything appears as it was on my old device including on the face of it my music library. However, I cannot play all of the songs in fact the majority! When at home I can access the entire library via home sharing but that is no use away from the house. I never had this problem with iPhone 4 and although I am automatically syncing the device to iTunes it is not working. If I try to play songs via the device it skips until it finds a song that cAn be played and if I try and play the device via the laptop/iTunes an ! Type signal appears and I cannot play the song!
Any ideas re solutions would be appreciated???

Danke, LeonieDF, I imported a Garageband song from my iPad app with all 8 tracks full, now I want to put on vocal

I imported a Garageband song from my iPad app with all 8 tracks full, now I want to put on vocal & guitar tracks but it won't let me. Also I have always problems when opening Garageband as I had an external hard drive connected to my Macbook Pro when I first downloaded it. It won't open without the external drive being plugged in. It says invalid instrument library and so on. I have tried trashing the program then reloading it nothing works; so I can't use Garageband unless the external is attached. I was also trying to send the song to Logic 8 but I can't find a video tutorial or relevant info in the manual; although I am thinking of updating Logic to the latest version. AAAGHH!!

Thank you, that's very helpful.
I was able to get this to work for deleting single song, but it simply ignored me when I tried to delete whole albums or artists. As there are many thousands of Christmas tracks, deleting one by one was not an option.
When I first started to research this I was not able to find any posts on the subject (because I did not know about the left swipe to delete gesture and so did not search for it). Now that I know I found this post which gives a number of different ways to do this:
http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-1276850.html
At first I tried this option:
If you are trying to batchdelete all music on an iOS device, it can be done.
1) Settings > General > Usage
2) Let the Storage settings load.
3) Click on Music...on next screen, swipe anddelete.
That does zap everything, but it suited my purposes. At first I though this was working, lots of tracks started to go back into the cloud (although this does not happen allat once, it seems to do it in the background over a period of time). The usage screen said I had free space on the iPad, but when I plugged it into iTunes the iPad showed as full and the tracks were all still listed under music.
So I tried this:
You can turn off iTunesmatch and then sync a very small number of tracks via iTunes, which shouldreplace the downloaded tracks with the synced tracks. Then turn Match back on.It's a pain but that is the only way I have found to mass delete.
Which did the trick, but is something of a nuclear option.
Looks like Apple have some work to do here. Deleting a track at a time or everything in one go is too clumsy. You need to be able to delete Albums, Artists or Genres in the sameway you can delete songs. I wish there was a way of reporting bugs like this to Apple, but short of signing up to be a developer, there does not seem to be away. If anyone reading this is a developer, perhaps you can get a paste the text into a bug report.

Remove songs manually from iPad and iPhone

hello there,
i've done the famous upgrade to itunes 11 and i can't find the tab to remove songs from my ipad and iphone manually.
hope you can help me...

Hi Zimmer1956,
The process of deleting songs on your iPhone and iPad are the same by going to the songs that you do not want and swiping left over the song to bring up the delete option. Take a look at the article below for more information on how to remove music from your devices.
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store

How do I transfer songs from my iPad to my iTunes library?

How can I transfer songs from my iPad to my iTunes account? I want to update my iPads but I don't want to lose all the songs that aren't in my iTunes account yet.

Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and you should be able to copy iTunes purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). If any of the music wasn't purchased from iTunes and you don't have it on your computer nor on a backup then you will need to find a third-party program which copy them over - there are some listed half-way down this page.
You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

Copy songs from my ipad to my computer

I need to transfer my 1700 songs from my ipad to my computer which only has 107 songs qnd then sync the 1700 songs to my new iphone 4

Try a third party app on your Mac (Tuneaid for example): it gives you a sort of Finder function for the iPad when it is connected, and then find the songs and copy them to your Mac.

How do I delete just songs from the iPad?

In an attempt to move my iTunes library, I have now gotten way out of whack with my music. I deleted all songs from iTunes and re-imported (sacrificing my play counts, etc., but I didn't know what else to do), and that works, but it leaves my iPad in a state of confusion. So I would like to remove all music from the iPad and just start over and re-sync, but I am having no luck with that.
Here are things I've tried:
Re-syncing after re-importing the library to iTunes. After that, I can see a full list of songs on the iPad, but 80% of them are grayed out and not playable.
Deleted all the iTunes library files (the itdb's, the itl's and the xml) so that when iTunes opened, it would give me the fresh screen and show no music. Then I synced the iPad--it told me it was going to erase everything on the iPad b/c it was synced to a different library (presumably my old library), and I said okay, and it synced, and somehow there are still about 200 songs on there. No idea how those songs "survived," but they did.
I tried going to Settings -> General, and I see an option for "Reset All Settings", and right under it "Erase All Content and Settings," but inexplicably, there is no option for "Erase All Content and Leave the Settings Alone!" I'm not sure why of those three things, they think the first two are important to users, and the last one isn't.
Ideally I would not like to reset my iPad, as I don't want to lose all my app data and that kind of thing--anybody know an easy way just to wipe all song media from the iPad? Thanks!

I have bought itunes songs on an ipad with my daughter apple id. i would like to back them up on the same computer I sync my iphone with using my apple id but they will not transfer. Both iphone and ipad have only been synced on the computer mentione

I have bought itunes songs on an ipad with my daughter apple id. i would like to back them up on the same computer I sync my iphone with using my apple id but they will not transfer. Both iphone and ipad have only been synced on the computer mentioned since they were purchased. Is there any way to get the ipad music transferred to the computer?

And they were definitely purchased from the iTunes store, they show on the account's purchase history (Store > View Account on a computer's iTunes, or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com) ?
You could potentially log into the account on that computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out to log out of your account, that will then change to a Store > Sign In option) and redownload them by clicking on the id towards the top right of the iTunes screen and Purchased on the popup :
But that will potentially tie that computer to that account for 90 days : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
Or do you have a different computer that you could redownload them on and then copy them over to that computer via a flash drive or memory card, and then add them to its iTunes via File > Add To Library ?

No, because FaceTime is not installed and there's no way to add the app.

How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? They are there but the individual song titles aren't listed. They are only listed by album. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also,when I click on music, it will not list options.

My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
Thank you

Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -
