How do I restore or recover purchased items that have disappeared from my iTunes?

I have a number of purchased items from iTunes that appear in my overall list with an ! (exclamation point) in front of them. They can't be located on the computer. I see them in my purchased list (also with the exclamation point).
Is there a way to restore or recover them?
Thanks

    We need a bit more information to help.
    Are you trying to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer?  If so, did you make purchases through the iTunes Store or App Store on your iPhone, and fail to sync them with your computer?  That is the likely meaning of what you are seeing.  If this is true, the purchases would be added to iTunes in your computer before the upgrade proceeds.

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, restore from backup.

  • How to delete purchased items that have not yet downloaded

    How do I delete purchased itune items that have not been downloaded.  When I first started using itunes to download movies I would recieve both hd and standard and I don't want both.....I want to delete all the hd ones.

    Sorry, but you can't remove things already in the download queue. If you don't want the HD versions, just buy the standard-definition versions ("Buy Movie" rather than "Buy HD Movie"). As to movies already in the queue, it will be by far the easiest to just let them finish downloading.

  • HT1267 How can I recover apps that have disappeared from my phone?

    Apps I've purchased have disappeared from my iPhone.  I've gone to app store, tried to reinstall and get messaged "purchased", but the app doesn't show up on the phone.

    Settings > General > Reset. Once there, select the "Reset Home Screen Layout" button. A dialog will pop-up asking for a confirmation.

  • How can i figure out what 'purchased items' i have not transferred...

    Getting a message when i try to upgrade my iPad 2 to ios 6 "There are purchased items on the iPad “Becky’s iPad” that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPad. Are you sure you want to continue?"  but i have done the manual backup... i see kindle books on my ipad i do not see in itunes, but i think i can just re-download them from Amazon...
    Trying to be sure i do this upgrade without losing any apps or data!

    is it your imac?
    is it your your router's name?
    are you by any chance connected to another wifi router then your own because the other one was open and not password protected?

  • How do I recover purchased songs that have been deleted?

  • HT201272 I have previously purchase items that i bought from my iphone and they come up as purchased on itunes, but its not in my library ive connected my phone and its just not showing up or able to download from itunes?

    Cant download previous purchases on my account. Bought them via my iphone, but when i try to sync it they dont come up and when i try to download them via my phone again it just doesnt work, and when i try to download them via a computer it just says purchased but they arn't in my itunes library?

    What types of item that you can redownload depends upon what country that you are in (music, films and/or TV shows can't currently be re-downloaded in all). If they are still on your phone then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
    What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes and the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone. If other items of the same content type appear but those don't (and they are still in the store), then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

  • How can I restore mailboxes in Mail app that suddenly disappeared?

    Most of the mailboxes I use to organize and archive my emails suddenly disappeared. What is the best way to restore them?

    If you are accessing emails from multiple devices, you are better off using the IMAP protocol. Then the devices sync with the server and they are all looking at the same information. With POP, you are going to get your emails spread about, some on Outlook, some on the iPad. It could get very confusing.
    By default, the iPad will not delete from a POP server. Instructions for changing this are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3228

  • Items that I brought from the itunes store will not sync to my ipod, and I can't download them on my ipod.  What do I do?

    I used to be able to download the items from the itunes store on my ipod, but that isn't an option anymore. I'm not sure how to get the items on my ipod.

    Because you can set Restrictions on age/content and one song might be age restricted.

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How do I find all my contacts that have disappeared from my iphone and computer?

    I have an iphone 4s   IOS 8.02 and a 27" late 2013 Imac OSX 10.9.5. All my contacts have disappeared.
    Where did they go? How do I get them back?

    If you are syncing them with iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Contacts off, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then turn it back on and choose Merge.
    If that didn't restore them, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup by following this user tip: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.

  • After updating to most recent version, everything not purchased through store has disappeared from my iTunes library, HELP NEEDED ASAP!!!

    I purchased a new laptop in August, running Windows 8 and spent hours importing every CD we own (over 300) to my iTunes library in order to get rid of them and declutter a little. I have had to run iTunes in a compatibility mode set for an older version of Windows in order to sync our iPods, as it doesn't work with Windows 8. A pain but not a major problem.....however, this morning I have updated iTunes and everything that hasn't been purchased through the store has now vanished from my library. Can anyone help me find the rest of my music please?

    You're welcome.
    Take a look at the backup technique I mention for the future.

  • "Purchased items that have not been transferred..."

    Hi all.
    Ipad mini.  I get a msg that says it could be updated to IOS 7.1.1.
    When I try to do that, I get this msg:
    In the iTunes menus, or Help, I find nothing that remotely looks like "Transfer purchases".
    What's the problem???
    Thanks.

    Click on cancel. Then right click on your iPad name under the devices heading in the left sidebar or under the devices button in the upper right part of the iTunes window (however you have iTunes configured to select your device) and then select Transfer Purchases from the resulting window. Let the items transfer, then sync and backup. Right click on the device name again and select Backup.
    After you backup, then update the iOS.
    transferring purchases from your iOS device into iTunes.
