ITunes store purchased music not showing

today I went into the itunes store and went under music and purchased......blank screen!! My books, movies, and tv shows are there but not my music. Anyone else have this happen and did you get it fixed? Other computer in the house isn't doing it there's is fine. It's working on my iphone and ipod.

Oops sorry I didn't phrase my question right >.< o
What I'm trying to explain is with the new iTunes Store 9.0 when you buy a song it fades out the name to show you have purchased the song. And recently I have purchased the full album in different parts at different times but never pressed the Buy Album button to get the full album at once. Now after I brought the full album all the songs say I have not purchased them or now let me buy them once again, when they are usually faded in the iTunes store like I said before.
So I was wondering why it did that because I wanted the extra feature for the full album. Since I have brought ever song on the album that I completed.
So earlier this year my hard drive failed and I got a new one which I restored with my Time Capsule. And before my hard drive failed I had purchased a few of the songs on the album (with 8.0), and when I installed 9.0, where you can see what songs you have by them being faded them out,it didn't show credit for any of the songs I had purchased before my hard drive failed.
If you need me to re-clarify or need more info feel free to ask ^.^ I did have some trouble writing up the question since it is hard to describe

ITunes purchased music not found in library

Hi there, maybe someone can help me, I'm having MANY annoying problems with my itunes both before and after the 2015 update. Problems with both music purchased directly from iTunes and from cd uploaded music. Main concern is inaccessible music purchased from iTunes:
*The other day, I noticed about 1500 songs from my library would not play within the iTunes program. These are from previously uploaded CD's and mp3's, and then I noticed also iTunes music, when attempting to play would give the error "unable to locate file/locate now". Sure I guess I can re-upload the hundreds of CD's (sigh), but I'm mostly concerned about the inaccessible music I bought and paid for from Apple.
I tried some online research and found the Account Tab->Purchased within iTunes desktop program, to re-download...however this didn't fix the problem because some of the iTunes purchased songs having the "no-play/can't locate" issue were not showing up as "Not in My Library"... And it appears you can only re-download with the cloud button, music that isn't already in your library. But when you go to play them you get the error message and it shows an exclamation point by the check mark box. Some of these inaccessible songs however, will play on my iPhone and some will not.
*Next issue, I also cannot locate MANY of these iTunes purchased songs/albums on my hard drive either (I am using a windows 8 computer). Very frustrating when music I bought from Amazon is saved securely to my hard drive and is also playable on ITUNES. Apple's music won't even play on their own friggin program, but Amazon mp3's will???
*Next issue. I applied the new updates to my phone and my iTunes program hoping to correct the issues. This did nothing. I opted NOT to use Cloud at the moment for privacy concerns. Could this be adding to the issue with the iTunes music?
I also have over 100 songs that want to be re-downloaded from the iTunes application on my phone in order to allow those tracks to be available on my phone. I went from my phone into iTunes->More->Purchased->Music to find these. Do I have to go through each artist individually to re-download them all?
As you can see, getting very frustrated with Apple and their constantly malfunctioning softwares. Is this an issue I need to take with me to the Apple store? I went in before for iTunes issues and they said they wouldn't help me because I'm not using a Mac computer but a PC and they don't help people that use PC's, even though my iPhone5S and hundreds of iTunes tracks are from THEM. Should I just throw in the towel and buy a Samsung next time? Spending my whole day trying to figure this stuff out when it should be accessible being that I already PAID for all of this music, such awful software, jeeze louise.

Hello JackieVall213,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your purchased music has not downloaded automatically after pre-ordering an album. Please take a look at the information below on how to download pre-orders from iTunes if you do not have automatic downloads enabled.
Download a pre-ordered item
When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
iTunes Store: About pre-orders - Apple Support
Enable Automatic Downloads - Apple Support
Take care,
Alex H.

I do I make purchased music not show up on my iPhone?

I have purchased music through iTunes on my iPhone. On the computer I convert the MP4 of the purchased music into MP3 and put it in my own created music folders and put back on the phone in my playlists. The only thing is is that the music now shows up as the MP3 I made it into and still as how it appeared when I purchased it, so it's on my phone twice. I can't figure out how to remove the purchased song off of my phone. The purchased MP4 isn't in any playlist so I can't just unsync the playlist to make it go away. Nothing I know to do makes it go away.
Photo 1 shows The Cadillac Black (now The Cadillac Three) album that I purchased through iTunes on my phone AFTER I have converted the files to MP3 and placed them with the rest of my previously had music before my iPhone. Photo 2 shows how the purchased music still shows up on my phone. You see that Days of Gold by The Cadillac Black is on my phone twice, and the same goes with the Zac Brown Band album I have purchased also, which all of those songs are on my phone twice.

Is the "Purchased" playlist selected to sync to your phone under the Music tab in iTunes?

ITunes Store purchase does not show in Music library

Two songs purchased from iTunes store today. Download looked OK, new purchases do show in Store>Purchased list. I added ratings, and songs went to smart playlist for top rated songs. BUT songs do not appear in Library>Music where all songs are. Search indicates they do not exist. It is from this library I drag to other lists. But without them there I am stumped. Never seen this before.
I do use iTunes Match, if that is an issue.

Same problem here. I found if I type in the song or artist in Search and then hit the Return key, they do show up immediately. Otherwise they only show up with just typing (not hitting the Return key) until the next day. I am wondering if Apple is uploading our database of songs and they do not show up automatically until Apple gives the ok. I do not trust them.

My MacBook Pro iTunes movie purchase is not showing in iTunes store movie purchases nor does it show on my iPad or Apple TV. Can someone please help me with a solution? Thanks.

First of all, I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Sometimes, I use a VPN to search on the web here. I purchased Toy Story 3 on my MacBook Pro 2011 OS/X - Lion through iTunes. I initially had trouble downloading it which may be due to being on and off the VPN but after a while it finally downloaded and shows up in my iTunes library on my MacBook.
Under my Apple ID account (which is the only Apple ID account I have), I look under purchase history and it shows that I paid for Toy Story which is where I got my Order # from. But if you go to the iTunes Store then to the Quick Links then click on Purchased, under all my Movies, it does NOT show Toy Story 3 as one of my movies.
Now when I go to my iPad (3rd gen.), Toy Story 3 does not show up under purchased movies (all or not on my iPad). It does not show up on my Apple TV as well. If I want to have Toy Story 3 on my iPad or Apple TV, then it says I have to purchase it again.
I have searched for help via Apple support communities but so far none of their solutions have worked for me. I have tried logging off iTunes & App Store on iPad and also shutting down the iPad. I also made sure that under iTunes Preferences>Store that iTunes in the Clouds purchases is checked. Can someone please help me with this? Your consideration is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Did you recently hide your purchases?
If you did, try unhiding your purchases, as e4joker suggests here -> Re: Unable to see purchased music in purchased folder
To unhide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    If you're not already signed in, choose Store > Sign in.
    Choose Store > View My Account. (You may be asked to enter your password again).
    On your Account Information summary, scroll down to the "iTunes in the Cloud" section and click Manage.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, TV shows, Apps, or Books from the top.
    Click the Unhide button next to the item you would like to restore.
Note: If the item you are unhiding is not already downloaded on your computer locally, it will begin downloading automatically.

Already purchased music not showing up in purchased tab

I preordered the rhcp album "I'm With You" and I downloaded it to my Macbook Pro the other night when it was available. Today, I tried downloading it from cloud when I wasn't near my computer but it didn't show up in the Purchased section. I got the music to my phone via my Macbook Pro but still the music is not showing up in my cloud. What is the issue here?

The Purchased Music folder isn't a smart playlist.
To find all your Purchased Music, forget about the list in the Shopping Cart and create a Smart Playlist whose sole criteria is:
Kind contains protected AAC
Tick the 'Live updating' box and click OK. That Smart Playlist will then show you all your purchased music, regardless of how you bought it.

Purchased songs not showing in library

I have purchased and downloaded songs from I Tunes store onto my laptop. They show in Puchased library but do not show in Music library
I have tried dragging them to Music library to no avail
Anybody help?

Make sure that the songs you purchased aren't in the music library for real. Close iTunes and restart the computer open it back up again and see if this works...if not tell me and give me time to think and I'll get right back with you.

Good! Sometimes you need to apply a little brute force.

Purchased Music not showing correctly in Music App

HI
Something weird i've noticed on my iPhone, I am using iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.1 (latest build).
I purchased an album X Factor Song book (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/the-x-factor-songbook/id935644800)
as you can see on the link there is 60 tracks, all 60 downloaded to my Phone.
When I go to music app, and choose either Albums or compilations, find the album it shows 60 tracks like below:
it shows 59 songs but just 3 minutes. When i open the album it looks like this:
This is just track 23. If I tap it to play the track, I can successfully
skip back and forward to the other tracks on the album.
I've noticed this with lots of my albums
How do I fix it?
My settings for settings > music look like this:
I've tried togging switches like "show all music" to on/off to see if it helps, but sadly it did not

You may have to contact the app's developer or look through their help pages.
