If you are positive they are not on your computer try downloading a second time.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases. It isn't Apple's job to ensure you always have access to previous purchases, just the way if you lose a CD you cannot go back to the store and expect them to give you another one.

Where can I find the purchases that were made from itunes and apps?

Where can I find the purchases that were made from itunes and apps?

You can view the full purchase history on your account via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
On an iOS device you can only view the last 90 days purchases (and optionally contact iTunes Support if you have a problem with one of them) via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

How can I find the user that created a user account and the user who last updated the account

How can I find out who created a user account and who last updated the account. I think that this is the same information that is displayed in the description field on the General tab.
I am using ADO commands and vbscript

I should point out that there are two attributes of all AD objects that can help you track down the correct information in the system logs. These are the whenCreated and whenChanged attributes. This will tell when the object was created and when it was last
modified, which should help when you search the logs. Also, while whenCreated is replicated to all DC's, so they will all have the exact same creation time, the whenChanged attribute is technically not replicated. The date/time on each DC reflects when
the last modification was replicated to that DC. The values will differ slightly on each DC, reflecting how long it took for the change to replicate.

How can i download a book that i bought on itunes and put it in my ibooks so that i can read it on my itouch?

I recently got my brother's old iTouch iPod for x-mas. In addition to the music i've put on it i thought it might be cool to read books on it so i bought a book ("Tweak" by Nic Sheff) and tried to put it on my iTouch/pod by dragging and dropping it in the section. It told me that i could not do that because i needed to first download the app iBooks. So i proceeded to download the app and put that on my iTouch/Pod and that was all well and succesful, but then i tried again to drag and drop the book. It shows the book as being on my iTouch/Pod when it is plugged into my computer, like it says on my computer's iTunes that the book is on the iTouch/Pod, but when i look for it on my iTouch/Pod i cannot find it in my iBooks app, nor can i find it inany other section or any other part. I'm thoroughly confused. Does anyone understand what i'm trying to ask/Have i explained my problem well enough? Please, pleaseeee can someone help a sister out? Your help would be so greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
A not-so-savvy individual named elizabeth
p.s. i am not entirely sure about the operating system i have selected, i took a guess at that. it says iTunes 10 on my iTunes. not sure about the iPod/Touch, can not find anything on there.

Welcome to the Apple Community Elizabeth.
You should be able to access any book you have purchased from iTunes anywhere.
Do you have settings > iBooks > Show all purchases turned on.

How do i find a file that was saved to itunes from turbotax for ipad?

i used the turbotax 2011 app do to my taxes last year. the returns were saved to itunes. i cannot find them in itunes. any suggestions?

It is wierd that Apple wants you to use iTunes for everything regarding content on our iDevices but then they add a Video App to the iPhone, iPad and we are just supposed to understand after years of training to use iTunes that our purchased videos are here and not in iTunes.
I initially assumed that the Video App was for watching videos I shot using my camera app. But noooo!!, They are in the Camera Roll.

I am getting random redirects and fear that I have been hijacked. How do I find out if that is indeed the case, and if so, how can I fix it?

Sometimes when I click a link, I get redirected to "scour" which gives me a list of links that may or may not have anything to do with my search. Also, I play an app on Facebook and am experiencing hella lag and have also been redirected from there to random sites.

For me Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials did not detect any malware or virus on my computer. Then I tried SuperAntispyware, Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware by Lavasoft. I would NOT recommend them. '''Most definitely do not install Lavasoft Ad-Aware.''' I installed these three programs and did a full scan. They all claimed to have found trojans, etc... and then disinfected and removed them. But they all left remnants and pieces all over the place and the malware kept replicating. It was an absolute mess! I uninstalled SuperAntispyware and Spybot but the Lavasoft Ad-Aware would not uninstall!! I first tried Ad/Remove Programs but it did not give me an "uninstall" button. Then I tried to go to the Start Menu where it had an "uninstall Ad-Aware" option in the Program group, but it was a lie, instead it tried to re-install itself. I ran rkill.exe and repeated everything in Safe-Mode... didn't help. I opened the command prompt in Safe-Mode, it would not let me delete the file AdAwareService.exe. I spent an entire day from morning until night going through the registry and windows files deleting every instance of Lavasoft and Ad-Aware. It fought back all the way but I finally killed it. If you look up reviews on these programs, they all get one or two stars out of five(?). I'm very surprised that Cor-el (the first reply) recommends them. Lavasoft Ad-Aware is bad news, don't install it.

HT1391 Music that is on my computer and iPhone will not play using any media player

Media (songs) that are listed in iTunes and on the iPhone will not play. The cursor skips over them. Using Explorer I can see them on the disc, but clicking them and trying to play them with Quicktime, Windows Media Player or iTunes does not work.
Does anybody know what I can do to fix this?

Check the information on the song, Right-Click -> Get Info.
In the fist pane, (Summary), you will see the AppleId (Account Name) that was used to buy the song.
Be sure to login to use this account to register this computer to play the song
What I often see, Is that people have many different AppleID, sometime not even knowing it, which is a big problem.

Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

How do I find my music files in iCloud?

How di I find my music files in iCloud?

To Find your music You would Enter iTunes then do the following: Search for Quick links on the right> then Select Purchase> From there you can search for All Media that you have on iTunes, can all select from the two options on the Right> All or Not on this Computer & then once you've selected your choice you can see what you have and what's not on your computer, but this only works for media you've purchases through iTunes. I hope this clears things up.

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .
