HT1391 I can't find music that I have bought in my library

help! I have bought some music. I can see it in my recent puchases and I can play it. but when i search in my main library I can not find it anywhere.

If you're using iOS 7 or 8, tap on the Settings app, then on "Music", and then check "Show All Music" is on. Then go to the Music app and find the album. Click on Download and that's it. You should also be able to download it by going to the "Purchased" link under "Quick Links" on the right-hand side of the iTunes Store homepage and selecting "Music".
If you're using an old version of iOS such as iOS 6.1.6 or lower (until 4.3.3), go to the iTunes app, tap on "More", "Purchased" and "Music", then tap on "Not on This iPhone/iPod/iPad" and search for the album.

  • Can't play music that I have bought

    I dont have the same username on my mac in OS X. Which leads to problem to deauthorize my itunes account. I can’t play music that I buy, and free movies doesn’t work either. I know this is the problem, cause I have tried to reformat using my old account name in OS X, which led to no problems in iTunes. I don’t want to use my old account name (OS X).

    My old username in OS X----->karasjok
    My present username in OS X----->Stian
    iTunes account is not the same username as in OS X, I am aware of that. Problem is that I can’t play music bought from iTunes, neither can I deauthorize my iTunes account.
    But if I reformat my OS X, use my old username, all of my music bought from iTunes plays well.

  • This may sound dumb but can i return music that i have bought?

    I bought an album i was intending on buying, so im wondering if i can return it?

    All purchases are final - you can't return something you've already downloaded. If you have purchased something in error you could try asking iTunes Support whether they could consider refunding you just this once: they have been known to do so but please be aware that they are under absolutely no obligation to do so.
    To contact them, go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column and then 'iTunes Store' in the third column.

  • HT201272 Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased I had no problem retrieving from itunes with no charge but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again.

    Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased had no problem downloading to my new phone from itunes with no charge, but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again. How can I get these songs to my new phone without having to buy them again?

    Whether you can re-download music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it remains in the store). If you don't have a Music section in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading it, then do you not have you library on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download

  • Can i download music that i have previously purchased/downloaded?

    can i download music that i have previously purchased/downloaded? I paid and downloaded an album then my computer died. I have now lost that album.

    If you are in the US then yes, you can re-download past music purchases (assuming that they are still available in the store). If you are not in the US then have you not got a backup anywhere of your music purchases ?

  • Hi, I need to re-format my hard drive, as it has a virus, so will lose all my data including itunes. I therefore need to reinstall itunes - but if I do this will I lose all the music that I have bought? How do I reinstall music to the new itunes?

    Hi, I need to re-format my hard drive, as it has a virus and is corrupted- so I will lose all my data including my itunes software. I guess I will need to reinstall itunes again - but if I do this will, I lose all the music that I have bought or imported into my library? How do I reinstall my library/playlists to the new itunes?
    Thanks

    Make a backup of your media and other important files.
    Just to be safe, make a backup of your entire iTunes directory.
    Restore computer or do whatever it is you need to do.
    Restore your media and other important documents.
    Install iTunes.
    Try using search next time... this gets asked way too frequently.

  • HT1349 I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store.  It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!

    I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store.  It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!  I hope it's something quite simple?
    Apologies, but none of the communities listed seems to fit this question - so I'm taking pot luck!

    For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

  • Can't find music that is supposed to be available

    I don't know if I'm losing my mind, but two weeks ago when I did a search in the iTunes Music Store for Frank Zappa, about 20 different albums came up that were available for purchase.
    Yesterday when I went in to download some of this music, the search results came up with absolutely nothing with him as the artist. There is a link towards the top under "Artists" for him, and when I click on it, it takes me to some sort of artist page where it says, "Zappa's complete collection is now available on iTunes." But, that doesn't seem to be the case at all. Only one album displays, and it isn't even his album, just some sort of tribute album. I can't find a single song by him.
    I'm really frustrated because I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if iTunes is just messed up. And it makes me wonder if I can't find these songs, what other songs is iTunes not displaying when I do a search?
    If you can give me any help, I'd sure appreciate it.

    You're not crazy - it's not you. I can't find them by just typing "zappa" or "Frank Zappa" in the search field, either.
    I tried browsing for them, got to Rock > Art/Prog ROck > Frank Zappa. First time it gave me an error 50.
    2nd time, it came up blank.
    Third time I got some results.
    "Weasels RIpped My Flesh", "Freak Out" were in the album list.
    Then it told me not available in the US.
    I suggest getting them from emusic.com, higher bitrate and no DRM.

  • HT201272 How can I redownload music that I've bought before but accidentally deleted?

    When I follow the instructions and go into the list of music I have purchased from the iTunes Store, it won't allow me to redownload it.  And I can't even re-purchase it; the store says I have it already!  So frustrating!   Thanks for any help you can give me. 

    Hi Linda!
    You are most welcome! And glad that things continue to work well. I knew about that song vs. album thing, because when you go into an iTunes album that you have purchased a song from, it says Purchased next to the song. But, when you go into another album that has that song, it is still "purchase-able". Make sense that iTunes would have no idea of where the exact duplicate of that song might be, because it is often the case that when the same song appears in a different album, it isn't an exact duplicate - maybe it's live, maybe it's 2 minutes longer....
    So, hopefully that does explain the "duplicates". Think of it in "real" (vs. virtual) terms. If you bought a single from a record store, and then bought an album that also had that same song on it, you would have two of them. Despite the fact that it is a virtual purchase, it works the same way. Except that iTunes keeps track of the "singles" that you purchase, and if you are purchasing the same album that you bought the single from, you don't pay for it again - something a "real" record store wouldn't be able to do. Bonus!!!
    It's only when you purchase a different album with that song on it that you will have a duplicate....
    Hope that helps, and again, glad things are working A-OK now.
    Thanks for posting back!
    Take care,

  • Where can i find the itunes i have bought?

    I have just noticed that there have been several puchases from itune store on my credit card although i have not bought anything. I cannot find the purchases anywhere so i dont know what i have payed for??!! Can someone help me please?

    You can check the purchase history on your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes - though I'm not sure if that shows in-app purchases and/or auto-renewing subscriptions. If you don't recognise, or can't find, the charges, and you haven't added or changed your credit card details on your account (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) then you could try contacting iTunes Support via this page and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How to reload music that I have bought

    I lost all the info in my iPhone. Now I want to reload all the music
    I have bought in iTunes. How do I do this? I have not succeeded and support gives no help.

    Did you purchase this music from iTunes, or from elsewhere?
    If it is from iTunes, you should find it:
    On your iOS Device in the iTunes app under More>Purchased
    On your Desktop: iTunes>Store>Check for Available Downloads
    OR
    iTunes>Preferences>Store>Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases
    If you have downloaded or purchased from a third-party, you should be able to just drag the files into iTunes.

  • HT1391 Where do I find audiobooks that I have purchased in my itunes account, and what do I do if an audiobook doesn't download properly?

    I recently purchased an audiobook from itunes. It had three parts, but only the last two downloaded correctly. Whenever I click on part 1 it begins at chapter 10 and the title changes to part 2 of 3. How can I fix this? Also, is there a place in my purchased area that holds audiobooks? I know how to download music and apps, I just cant find purchased audiobooks,

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download, so they won't appear in the Purchased link for re-downloading, so you will need to contact Apple.  Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that audiobook and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
