How to rename albums purchased through the itunes store?

Hello, I am having problems renaming albums that I purchased through itunes. I bought the Black Sabbath Complete Studio Albums 1970-1978 and the Rush Complete Mercury years or whatever it is. Anyway, the album titles are all listed as the same, every Black Sabbath album is called "Complete Studio Albums 1970-1978" and the same for the Rush albums.
Every time I go in and manually change the album names, when I close and reopen itunes it decides to rename them all "Complete Studio Albums 1970-1978"
Anyone know if there is some setting in itunes or possibly something in the file properties I can change to keep this from happening? Sifting through my ipod and having 8-10 albums under the same album name is the issue here that I am desperately trying to resolve.
Thanks,
-Patrick

See my response in your other thread Is there a way to keep itunes from re-renaming my box set albums?

HT4914 I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~)

HT1329 My hard drive crashed. Is there any way to get my songs onto my new computer without re-loading all of the CDs. I did not make any purchases through the itunes store. Have never used icloud. The songs are on my ipod.

So am I to understand that all of my historical purchases through the iTunes store will now be available to me via the cloud for use on all of my devices...?

I have been reading and re-reading about air play and iTunes in the cloud for some time and I am eagerly awaiting its full functionality. What I am not seeing which does bum me out a little is the aspect of all of my historical purchases from the iTunes store. I have made many music purchases from a computer long ago gone and not to be found. I want to know if all of those purchases will once again be available to me via the cloud. I would venture to say that Apple knows all of my buying history with great detail. I know I am to be held responsible for not making complete back ups of everything I ever bought through them I have lost a chunck of music and video over time. Will these purchases going back many years of iTunes shopping be returned to me via a cloud service...? I know for me, that will make jumping in to any pay for use fee a lot more palatable if I can restore my old purchases like some long lost present now found again behind the couch...

Purchases through the iTunes store

Hi,
I have purchased quite a few songs from the iTunes store. However, the computer that I had earlier, crashed. Now, I would like to get all the songs that I purchased earlier onto my new PC. I don't have backups of the purchased songs. I have been able to authorize my new computer, but need to know how I can get all the songs that I purchased from the iTunes store onto my new PC (or atleast onto iTunes).
Thanks,
M

If you can't get them off your old computer, and you don't have a backup, and don't have the tracks on an iPod, then you'll probably have to purchase them again. The iTunes Store officially doesn't allow re-downloading. You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis, but don't count on it.
In the future, be sure to make backups of your purchased content. That's valuable property and deserves to be protected.

HT1329 what about music that I have taken from a bought CD and put onto my ipod? I have already transfered music purchased through the itunes store, but how do I transfer all the stuff I took from my CDs?

How can I transfer my ipod content from old pc (which cannot be connected to the internet anymore) to my new laptop (which is connected to the internet), Bearing in mind that:
1, I already have itunes on the laptop and have successfully added to my laptop itunes library the few songs PURCHASED from itunes.
2, My ipod (classic) and the itunes library on the pc also has a number of tunes that I have taken from my cd collection.
3, when I connect my ipod to the laptop, it wants to sync to the laptop by keeping the PURCHASED items, and deleting the stuff I have put on from my CD collection.
4, I cannot activate home sharing on the PC because it's not longer connected to the internet and cannot be re-connected to the internet.
What do I do?

Type "move iTunes Library" into the search bar and follow the instructions found there.
There are multiple ways to move the iTunes library. Hint: None of them involve using an iOS device.

How do I find out what the correct tag information is for a TV series I purchased through the iTunes store?

Right now I have episodes that should be in their own grouping mixed up with others and I would like to get them seperated. It's the Doctor Who series if that makes a difference. Specifically the specials which don't quite fit into a season and were a seperate purchase from the series themselves.

I'm confused. Who told you that you need to deauthorize an Audible account to be able to play your music? Did you ever set up an account with Audible.com? What is happening when you try to play your music? And what exactly do you mean by "sync your iTunes account with your laptop"?
Please provide more details as to your situation and what it is you're trying to accomplish. I'm sure once we understand what it going on, someone can provide suggestions.
Regards.

How do I download previously purchased albums from iTunes when the album has either disappeared from my computer or the tunes are not playable? The albums show as purchased on the iTunes store, but not available to download to my authorized device. I also have albums that appear in my library, but are not able to be added to my iPod from my computer

When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

TS1389 I've purchased an album through the itunes store and every track plays except one which continually asks me to authorise my computer. I've tried all the steps suggested above but still no joy. Anyone have any ideas what i can do next? Thanks Pa

Sounds like you have a "damaged track" or "damaged file".
This worked for me today downloading Kendrick Lamar's new Album "good kid, m.A.A.d city".
My situation: I bought the album today for my Mac, MacBook Pro, iPad 2, and iPhone 4S devices.
Issue: One song (only on my MacBook Pro) would not play, instead display "
EX: left"
Solution: 1. Manually delete the song (giving you the error) permantly from the authorized computer.
2. Open iTunes, Click iTunes Store (left sidebar), and locate Quick Links and then click Purchased to proceed.
3. Click "Not On This Computer", find the song that wouldn't play, and re-download it again.
4. Check your Music Library for your song (Should download inside the associated album) and hit play.
EX: (Song I purchased that wouldn't play because of authorization, playing)
Enjoy!

HT201272 I have purchased six seasons of Dexter and two seasons of Revenge. When I go into "Quick Links" through the iTunes Store and click on "Purchased", only two episodes of Revenge are shown. How can I get the rest of my episodes to show up??

Why aren't my previous purchases showing when I click "Quick Links", then "Purchased" in the iTunes Store??

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

HT203167 A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV.

A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV...other movies show up. Help.

It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....

You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

Edit > Preferences. Select the check box for Ringtones, this will add them to the listing in iTunes.
Not sure that really answers your question though.

HT201272 Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store

Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.

Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page,
