HT1386 I can't sync music purchased with an iTunes gift card to my iTunes on my PC?

I received an iTunes gift card for Christmas and bought a few albums with it but unfortunately after authorising my PC and syncing my music these albums aren't appearing in my iTunes, yet, my other albums that I purchased with money are? Can anyone help solve this problem please? I'd like to put the albums on my iPod and can't :(

Hi lozdot,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The first step would be to try to download your purchase again on your computer:
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

If you do not see the items in the Purchases Pane, then the folks at iTunes Store Support can review your account with you:

  • Why doesn't my iTunes content show in Library? Also, How can I sync music purchased on my iPhone to my PC's iTunes Library?

    I have been having several annoying problems with iTunes for the past several months...
    1) Library content not showing after folder relocation:
    First, in order to free up space on my C drive, I wanted to relocate my iTunes folder to a new 1TB hard drive (F) I installed. I did so according to Apple's instructions online, but despite setting the new location to be my library in my iTunes preferences, the content never shows up in the iTunes Library in the actual application. This is my most annoying problem, so please someone help me to resolve this! Thanks.
    2) Albums purchased on iPhone 5 only sometimes sync with PC
    I have purchased a few albums on my iPhone 5 and only some of them have synced to my PC when I connect my iPhone via USB. They don't even appear under the "Purchases" playlist in the iTunes Store. So, I have content right now on my iPhone that I can only access via my iPhone, and some of the music has gone missing. One or two tracks from albums are not there despite me purchasing full albums at a time... This is also pretty dang annoying and prevents me from trying a solution I'd looked up to fix my third problem...
    3) Album artwork mixed up/mismatched on iPhone 5
    This is pretty self-explanatory. Ony day my album artwork decided to play musical chairs. So now, for example, it shows Andrew W.K.'s bloody face when I listen to Zedd, and shows Skrillex when I listen to Symphony X. I read online that if you desync your content on you iPhone so that none of the music is there any longer, and then resync content from your computer, it will fix this issue. I'm hesitant to apply this solution until I can fix the ones above though, because I don't want to lose content that I have legally paid for.
    My final problem:
    4) Apple charges $20 for a support phone call for iTunes
    Seriously, WTH? I hope the community can help me out. Thanks all!

    1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
    If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
    2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
    4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

  • Play can't play music purchased with another email address

    I can't play music that was purchased with old email address on an older mac, how does that work?

    If the tracks are DRM-restricted you'll need to authorize the computer for the Apple ID that was used to purchase the songs. Pull down Store > Authorize This Computer and type in the credentials for the Apple ID.

  • Can't sync music library with iPod Touch

    I gave my iPod to my son. He erased my music library and put his on. He gave iPod back. I erased all his music and tried to reload my music library. I updated iTunes from Apple website. Could not successfully transfer ANY music.
    I searched through discussions and found some suggestions. I restored iPod to original settings, removed everything.
    Apps I originally had on the iPod and some new ones synced beautifully. Music library would not. Unclicked manually managed iTunes. Unclicked Sync all iTunes in library. Clicked APPLY where applicable. Uninstalled iTunes on PC and reinstalled. iTunes will not sync.
    I cannot put a checkmark on all songs in the library. The checkmarks will only go so far down and then quit. There are too many to do that manually.
    it has 59.42 GB capacity, 4.3.1 software version.
    So what do I do to syn my music library? And what are the exclamation marks appearing to the left of the column for check marks? Sometimes they appear and sometimes not.
    I would appreciate any help you can give me. I am at my wit's end. Thank you.

    For anyone who might read my post and have the same problem, the above link, second option to try work like a charm. I have my music back. I had to go looking for it and clicking on one of the pieces to play it in iTunes worked. Not all the music was located right away but it was still findable.

  • How can i sync music and notes etc... to a new itunes?

    My old desktop (guest account) on my computer was deleted. It had my original itunes on it. I made a new guest account on my computer. Obviously, there was no music, no app's, no anything on this particular account.
    I did sync the "purchased" app's onto the new itunes successfully, but I want to know if my notes that I type in the ipad2, also photos i saved and bookmarks (on my home screen and safari), including my reading lists (safari), are safe. Another thing is, how can i transfer my music to the new itunes? how can I get my old music library from the ipad2 onto the new itunes? They were c.d.'s i bured to itunes a while back from my own collection. I did not purchase them online from itunes' site.

    tht link made me do nearly the same things i already did. i dont see a difrnce in anything. it did not do anything i questioned. after i did this proccess it said it wants to erase wut is on my ipad2 . thats exactly what i DONT want.
    WILL MY NOTES AND CALENDER DATES, ETC... BE SAFE? ALONG WITH BOOKMARKS THT I SAVED AND MY "READING LIST" ON SAFARI BE SAFE AS WELL, WHEN OR IF I SYNC MY IPAD2?
    AND
    HOW CAN I GET MY OLD MUSIC FROM MY IPAD2 ONTO MY NEW ITUNES? (if possable)

  • HT201209 Hi, I redeemed an iTunes gift card on my iTunes on my computer but when I purchased a song on my iPhone it was billed to my debit card instead of using my iTunes money. Can you please tell me why that would happen?

    I had iTunes money left on my account but when I made a purchase it charged my debit card

    This sounds like a question for the iTunes store. You can contact them about account problems at:

  • How can I merge music purchased with multiple apple-id's?

    Hi, I have purchased music on iTunes with two different Apple-id's. Don't ask me why but years ago I created another id for a reason I am unable to recollect.
    Now I want to merge all purchases onto one id.. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks for your kind help!

    No, it's not currently possible to merge accounts nor to transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.

  • Two apple ids in the household, can we share music purchased with either apple id

  • HT201209 If I send a iTunes gift card from Australia iTunes Store online to New Zealand can they purchase item from there nz iTunes Store ? ??

    Help me

    This possibly the dumbest thing Apple can do. I just found out the hard way my father in law will not be getting his christmas present. Yes I should have read the fine print, but I honestly thought Apple was smarter than that.
    Obviously they haven't seen the money making potential of this so now I will ask for a refund and take my money elsewhere.

  • Can you buy a song with just a gift card

    When ever i try to redeem my iTunes gift card it all ways ask for me to reveiw my account and a step three it asks for my credit card number but i don't have one

    How are you trying to redeem the gift card? On the right side of the main store window the first box is "quick links." In that box is a link that says "redeem", click on that & no credit card needed.

  • Can I transfer funds from a Visa debit gift card to the itunes store?

    As the subject line implies, I received a Visa gift card and would love to transfer the funds to my itunes account without actually buying an iTunes gift card.
    Seems silly to shuffle funds indirectly.

    Never mind.  Found my answer.

  • Playing music purchased with apple id from closed email account

    i can't play music purchased with an apple id from another email account that no longer exists
    Please Help!!!

    Is it an old Apple ID of yours? If so, then whether the email is still valid or not, the Apple ID is still there. You need to authorize that ID to your computer by signing it onto iTunes and then clicking on Store on the top menu, then Authorize this computer.
    If you don't remember the password to that old ID, you can change it here: Apple - My Apple ID

  • How to purchase songs with a iTunes gift card balance added to your account

    I have redeemed an iTunes gift card to my iTunes account.  I now have a balance of $25.00.  When trying to purchase some songs to add to my iPod Shuffle, I do NOT find a dropdown box for either PURCHASE or BUY.  I can add the songs to my Wish List, send a link, gift a song, etc - but NO Purchase / buy option.  If I try to gift songs to myself, it will ask for a Billing Account.  Why must a Billing Account be added if I already have a balance of $25.00 to use.
    I have pulled a iPod Shuffle manual and it only tells me to Buy - if no option o Buy is available, just how do you do it??  This is EXTREMELY frustrating!!
    If anyone has an idea just how to accomplish this, please send instructions (since the manual on line does not spell it out).  Frankly I am disappointed in even purchasing the iPod Schuffle if I cannot even use the iTunes gift card I purchased.
    Thank You
