Help! Purchased Music list corrupted
I recently had a kernel panic on my machine and had to reboot from the restore discs. Then I had to reinstall the iTunes library from a backup.
Now, when I click on "Purchased" under the Store heading, the list I get shows hundreds of other songs (copied from CDs) in addition to the ones I purchased online. This makes it next to impossible to back up my purchased music without going through and manually selecting every song.
Is there a way to restore the "Purchased" list so that it reflects only the music I've actually purchased online?
Thanks for any help.

I think yours is a separate problem. If you read my post, it's about songs showing up in the Purchased list that were ripped from my CDs, not about a corrupt song, whatever that is. You might want to start your own topic. Good luck.

I have corrupted purchased music files
My purchased music is corrupt and I need to re-download them but it will not let me. How can I get around this issue?
Hello Buddica,
If the files exist in the iTunes Library, you'll need to delete them before they can be redownloaded.

Can't download podcasts or purchased music
I am no longer able to download or uopdate my podcasts ( error message: you don’t have enough privileges for this operation) or I get a dotted circle that never moves where the usual circling arrow show download in progress. I tried purchasing and downloading a song from the itunes store. That did not work either. The song shows up at the end of my purchased music list with that same dotted circle. No downloads happening. Could working with itunes match have caused this?
There isn't a limit to how many times an item can be redownloaded, the only limit is how long the item remains in the store (rights-holders occasionally remove their items) - and some items (audiobooks and ringtones) are one-time only downloads. I had a problem downloading updates to some apps earlier today (my computer's iTunes kept getting stuck on 'processing' some of them so I had to close/re-open iTunes a number of time), so it might be a server issue.

Seeing purchased music on another computer
I purchased music on my home computer and I want to be able to see it on my work computer. Is this possible? Sharing doesn't work, because it is two different networks. I was thinking that since both computers are authorized I would be able to see my purchased music list, but that's not so.
Tom,
Burn your purchased files to an iTunes "Data CD" (Preferences -> Advanced -> Burning) and take the files to work. Copy them onto your PC and then into iTunes. When you start playback on one of them, it should ask for your iTunes account password to complete the authorization process on that computer. At that point, all songs bought under that account and copied onto that computer will then playback.
You cannot redownload the tracks directly from Apple, you have to get them to the other computers on your own. -

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
You purchase one download only.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases -
Purchased music won't play on ipod! Help!
Hi,
I've posted this before, but not found a good response that solves the problem. Thought I'd try again - any help would be appreciated.
My original ipod died just b/4 the warranty expired, so I got a new one from the apple store. Now, my ipod will not always play music I've purchased from the itunes store. There are two "fixes" I've found for this. The first is to plug my ipod into my computer and let it update. This seems to restore the files (?) but only works for a day or two, then the ipod skips right over the purchased files. The song file info (artist, song title, album, etc...) pops up on the screen for a second or two, but then goes right to the next file.
A better fix was to drag the "itunes music" folder from the finder into the library view of itunes on my desktop. This seemed to be a better "update" and worked for several months, but I recently noticed that once again, my ipod is simply skipping over any purchased music.
As you can imagine, this is quite frustrating, and also, since I've purchased a fair amount of music from itunes that I can't reliably listen to, very expensive!
I've noticed that in my "itunes music" folder in the finder of my computer any purchased music has the file extension ".m4p" whereas any music that I have ripped from a CD that I already owned has the file extension ".m4a". Is it possible that this has something to do with it?
My guess is that because I'm on my second ipod, the songs are protected somehow so that they "lock" after a certain amount of time if the file doesn't recognize the ipod device? Does this make sense? Does apple protect these files so that you can't permanently share them with other peoples' ipods? That would seem to be a fair thing, but I can't listen to them on my own ipod! I've been to the local apple store several times, and they have no idea what's going on.
I have a mac G4, and a 5th gen ipod (20G). All the software updates are current.
Again, any help would be appreciated."oh, and i also downloaded the free song of the week to see if downloading something new would help it out. nope."
Into a new user account with a separate iTunes library? That's the idea.
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

Purchased music won't play on ipod 5g 60gb - need help!
hello everyone,
i've been looking for help all over the internet for hours and hours, and i have yet to find an answer. i wrote the whole sequence of events down so everyone will know which troubleshooting steps i have already gone through.
i have an ipod video, 5g, 60gb that i got in december. it's been great, up until i needed to upgrade my operating system to windows xp pro (from xp home edition). i backed up everything onto dvds, proceeded to install the new os (even gave my music it's own partition, now it feels all special and lovely and whatnot ), and reloaded itunes, got my music back on like before. then, i proceeded to install my ipod software, got the latest updates (version 1.1.1 for ipod video), and this is where i ran into problems.
prior to using itunes to install my music, i noticed a few glitches with version 1.1.1 of the ipod updater. some of my music files would show the correct artwork when normally playing the music, but if i cycled through to the larger picture of the album artwork, almost every item on my ipod showed a picture of a podcast i am subscribed to. seeing i've spent hours putting in correct artwork for thousands of songs, this irked me.
after getting all my music straight on my computer and made any changes i needed to make, i hooked my ipod up and updated with itunes. due to the new installation of windows, it had to wipe everything, and then redownload everything to my ipod.
i then noticed that not only my artwork was still screwy, but my purchased music didn't play any longer either. all of the purchased songs and videos skip through after about a couple seconds, but i did notice it did increase my play counts upon further updates. the songs play fine on my computer, no issues. and i have tried the deauthorize/reauthorize process as well, with no success.
after researching this issue a bit, i decided to follow the 5 r's. even the "restore" r, and then reloaded everything back on my ipod. now, my artwork is back like normal, which i am happy about. however, purchased music still has the same behavior. even gave the deauthorize/reauthorize process another whirl. while i could easily burn those songs to a cd and then rip them to mp3 to make them play, this still wouldn't fix my purchased video issues, leaving me right back at square one.
oh, and i also downloaded the free song of the week to see if downloading something new would help it out. nope.
i also downloaded anapod explorer to see if that would give any light onto the situation. it shows the purchased files are on my ipod, but when i disconnect from the program, it tells me "you must download a file from iTMS in order to play protected music," a step which i had already done with the free song of the week.
i'm just wondering if i should try downgrading my ipod firmware, if anyone has had the same problems, or if anyone could offer any helpful advice? i would greatly appreciate it!

I want to download the new 5.0 software to my iPad 2 but I don't want to lose all the music I have in my lists in iTunes. When I sync with the computer, these songs do not automatically sync. Only the ones in "purchased" music will upload. How do I upload these files to my computer from my iPad for downloading later after installing the new software?
How did you get the music onto the iPad if it is not purchased music and it was not imported via iTunes?
Manually manage content is for adding content to the iPad from the computer. It is in the summary tab in iTunes.
If you want to transfer content from the iPad to your computer (if I understand you correctly) - this will help.

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy! It syncs 100+ songs, when I only want to sync 1! I'm running Itunes 11.3.1.2
After having experienced similar problems and having it back to work, I have a few suggestions:
- Try to find out if the syncing stops at a particular track or song. That might - out of the blue - have gotten corrupted in one way or another. Since that song will not be on the iPod, iTunes will try over and over to put it on and crash in one way or another;
- reformat the iPod as described in the iTunes 9 crash-thread. It takes time (at first it seems to do nothing, but that is because the green bar is moving with very small steps);

New iTunes only shows Purchased Music. Help!
Wow, I cannot believe how inconvenient the new iTunes has been. Hoping someone can help.
This is what I was used to and loved on my iMac:
1. List view: All Playlists on left column, with "Library" on top, then "Purchased", Genius, TV, and so on; and ALL my music (songs) in the right side of main window.
2. I just click or choose "New Playlist" and a new one would show up in the left column with the rest of my playlists so I could see them all at the same time.
3. I just click and drag any song I want from the right side to whatever playlist (old or new) and the song would be added.
Simple, easy and quick.
NOW with the new, "improved" version:
1. List view is fine (playlists on left, songs on right) but it takes a couple clicks to get to it--not my default view (default is annoying and illogical album cover view).
2. On the list on the left side (under "Playlists"), "Purchased" is at top--NO choice for my entire music library! So if I click on "Purchased", it only shows me purchased music, which is only a third of my library.
3. In order to add a playlist, there is no choice on the pulldown menu from the top. I have to click the icon at the bottom left of the window for a pull down and select "New Playlist"--HOWEVER, the entire window suddenly shifts!! The new Playlist is now for some reason on the RIGHT side, and only *then* is my music library listed in the main window, which has shifted to the left. But in this view I can no longer see all my other playlists! Extremely confusing, illogical, unintuitive and completely unnecessary.
4. Strangely, when in "regular" Playlist mode (where all my Playlists are listed in the narrow left window and my Purchased music is on the right main one), I can still click and drag songs, but only to add to my OLD playlists.
Can someone PLEASE tell me how to get back to the easy way? Where my "Library" is listed in the left "Playlists" window and ALL my songs are listed on the right?
And is there ANY way to to add a new playlist to the main Playlist list on the left column without having to switch to the next window?
Any help is most appreciated. Thanks much!I think I just solved this! I, too, was having the same issue.
Try this:
In itunes V11.1.5, there is a small line of choices across the top of the interface window that begins with, "Radio • Songs • Albums, etc.
Click on "songs."
Now, go to the iTunes menu > View, and select "Show sidebar."
Bingo! There is your Library; the list we've all grown so accustomed to, including ALL of our songs (not just purchased) and playlists.
I hope this is what you were asking, and that I have explained it well, becasue I'm very excited to have just found this solution. Best of luck. -

How can I get all my previously purchased music.
What do you mean by 'does not work' ? If you would like help from these user-to-user forums then more info would be useful.
Do they songs show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes ? If they do, but they don't have the cloud symbol against them for redownloading, then do you still have them listed in the Music part of your library (where you would click on them to play them) ? If you do then try deleting them from there and they should then get the cloud symbol against them in Purchased for redownloading.
If you are in a country where music can't be redownloaded,or if you've changed countries since buying them or they are no longer in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their content), then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your downloads/library.
