HT201272 I cant be re-download songs through iTunes Store/purchased = No "Music" folder, only Movies Books and Apps appears. Why?

The function for free re-downloading of songs you've already bought but for some occasion have deleted
doesnt seem to work for me, does anyone know why?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
In this link above, under
"Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV-shows on a computer"
"Using iTunes 10.7 or earlier"
step "6."
My iTunes doesnt appear the way its displayed in step "6."
It should be displaying "Music" "Movies" "TV-shows" "Apps" "Books"
but only shows "Movies" "Books" "Apps"
WHY?
This means I cant redownload songs I've already bought without buying them again.
(I use 11.0.5 on OSX 10.6.8 but still iTunes looks for me like it does under the "Using iTunes 10.7 or earlier" -tab,
now that too is weird..)

What country are you in ? Music can't currently be re-downloaded in all countries - the record companies need to agree to it for each country.
What content types can be re-downloaded where : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music and you haven't got them on your backup of your library, then if they are still in the store then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download of them : 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

Can't download songs from iTunes Store - Changed/Invalid Email??

This is probably a really stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. On my iPod Touch, running the latest firmware, I tried to download a song off the iTunes Store. It prompts me for my password and the account name it has listed is correct. However, I receive the following error:
Your email address has changed or is invalid. Go to the iTunes Store on your computer and update your Account info.
I'm at work now, so needless to say I don't have access to my home computer. I'm not sure why I'd be receiving this message as my iTunes account information hasn't changed in years and all my purchased music plays just fine on my Touch.
My email is a Yahoo account, however, I have my Mail client on the Touch set up to retrieve my DotMac account only. Is that perhaps an issue here? I wouldn't think so since I thought the Touch got the iTunes account info from syncing with iTunes on the host computer.
Is there any configuration that can be changed on the Touch to rectify this?
Thanks!

Hi Curt,
Well, to solve this problem you only need to connect your iPod to the computer. I'm not sure why this happened, but if your iPod have access to your iTunes Store account, then it will automatically update your missing info.
You just need to authorize your computer and connect your iPod.
So you have two options:
Do it when you arrive home, connecting it to your home computer;
or
Fist authorize your work computer, the connect your iPod. If you want, you can deauthorize this computer after finishing the process.
Unfortunately there's nothing you can do directly on your iPod Touch
Hope this helps!

I downloaded songs to my iphone 5 through itunes, but they did not show up on my computer through the cloud, why?

Is iTunes on your computer signed into the iTunes account you used to purchase these songs, and have you turned on automatic downloads for music in iTunes>Preferences>Store?

I have more than 300 CDs I downloaded into my computer which went to my iTunes library and have purchased hundreds of songs through iTunes store and can no longer access these songs. How can I restore my music so I can play it?

I have more than 300 CDs that I have downloaded to my computer and have purchased hundreds of songs from the iTunes store on my Mac. I cannot play any of this music now. How can I restore my iTunes library? I can see the music files, but they will not play. The message I get is that the file cannot be found. I have stopped purchasing any music from iTunes, and will not do so in the future unless this can be resolved. Why buy music if in the future you can't play it? I have not connected my ipod to my computer for months because of concerns that my music will disappear from there too.

What you see in iTunes is not the music but a pointer to the file that contains the music. Somehow these pointers have become broken. You may have accidentally deleted the file, or moved a folder, or moved a file, or renamed a folder, or renamed a file, or... iTunes is very unforgiving of you doing things to the iTunes folder unless you have it set so iTunes does not manage your music for you (in which case you really need to know how iTunes works)
If all your links are broken, or a large number are, then there are various options, none of them easy (unless you're lucky). One is when it asks you if you want to find the file that you say yes and then guide it to the file (which will probably be in a folder by artist, and then a folder by album name). Gets old fast if you have 300 CDs. Another is to undo what may have caused the links to become broken, if you can remember what it was that you might have done such as renaming a folder. Another is to just forget about your old library, ratings, and playlists, etc. and start afresh. Trash the library file in your iTunes folder, start iTunes with a blank library, then drag all your files to the new library. Another is to restore itunes from a backup you may have made before this happened.
Do you keep just media on an external drive? If you start iTunes without the external being switched on then it thinks the links are bad. Quit iTunes and start the external before restarting iTunes. You may have to scroll down through the tracks to "tickle" them into re-reading the link.
How do you have itunes set in preferences to manage your music? Have you done any changes to preferences recently, or moving folders, files, etc? Do you keep iTunes on an internal drive, or external?
In the many years of people complaining about broken links I don't think any way has been developed to mend them automatically. I saw one attempt to use Spotlight, but it didn't really work.
None of us work for Apple so it's up to you if you won't buy from them until it is fixed. We will try to help you fix it, because we're nice.

Downloading songs from itunes store on a Windows Vista PC

Hello All I have a problem. I bought a new laptop about 3-4 weeks ago. It has Vista installed on it. I didnt have any problem installing or using itunes. My problem is i cant download songs that i have bought from the itunes store. I keep getting a "network Connection Timed Out" Error. I have a good internet connection and everything is good. I have installed the newest version of the itunes software and i still get the same error. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks

I only have 16bit windows vista on my laptop. Can I use my iPad to download songs from iTunes Store and sync to my new iPod Nano?

I have a 16bit vista laptop which is unreliable and I do not wish to use it to transfer songs to my new iPod Nano. Can I sync downloads from my Apple iPad instead?

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
Whichever method you use, you probably won't get a response until the 26th. If you absolutely must make a purchase before then, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

Song tracks are not downloaded properly from iTunes Store: they are not added to the playlists, and eat disk space

Hi,
Yesterday I wanted to upgrade my wife's iPhone (5, 16 GB) from iOS 7.0.6 to iOS 7.1.
She had only 500 MB of free space, and 1.9 GB was needed, so I decided to temporarily remove a number of songs from her music library.
After this operation there was 2 GB free, and the upgrade went successfully. After the upgrade there was still 2 GB free.
Then I wanted to download the songs again, and here something went wrong:
I went to iTunes Store > More > Purchased > Music, and clicked on "Download all".
When the download process was completed, there was about 500 MB free space, but I noticed that some of the tracks, and even a complete album, were actually not in the playlists; in another album only one of the 30 tracks or so was downloaded. So I went again into iTunes Store > More > Purchased > Music, and indeed some of the tracks were still marked as "to download", with a little cloud in front of them.
When I tried to click on one of these little clouds to download a given track, the track seemed to be downloaded, but as soon as the download was finished the little cloud reappeared again, and the track wasn't added to the playlists.
I tried to repeat that process a few times, until I noticed that there was now only 90 MB of free space.
I then tried to download one more track that was 10 MB large, and after this there was only 80 MB of free space.
So it seems that the tracks are indeed downloaded (and downloaded again if I click again on the little cloud) in a place where they use disk space without being otherwise accessible.
What can I do to:
1. download the tracks correctly so that they appear in the playlists?
2. clean up the space that was wasted?
Many thanks in advance!

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then 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 those tracks 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.

Whenever I try to download songs from iTunes store I get an error message

I just got my Ipod and when I tried to download songs from the iTunes store I just got an error message, but it took my money. A sample message read,
"There was a problem downloading 'I Walk the Line/ With His Hot and Blue Guitar/ Johnny Cash"
The file seems to be corrupted. To redownload file, choose "Check for Purchases" from the Store menu.
I tried the "Check for Purchases" several times, but I just got the same message. I then went to the Downloads menu/page where another message was displayed under Status,
zero KB of 2.6 MB - stopped (err = -100008)
Please help me. I don't want to have wasted my money for nothing.

Can't download songs from iTunes store

When I try to purchase and download a song, I get a message that says "Item not available. Make sure your computer's date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from the iTunes Music Store." My computer meets these criteria. Any ideas? I just upgraded to iTunes version 11.1.3.

Hi Curt,
Well, to solve this problem you only need to connect your iPod to the computer. I'm not sure why this happened, but if your iPod have access to your iTunes Store account, then it will automatically update your missing info.

Unfortunately there's nothing you can do directly on your iPod Touch
Hope this helps!

Suddenly can't download songs from iTunes store

I'm on a Mac OS X 10.4.11, using iTunes 9.2.1 (4) and Safari 4.1.3. This worked fine back in June, the last time I downloaded anything! Now I am again trying to purchase from iTunes store, and repeatedly getting the message, 'Session timed out. Try again.' Any ideas to resolve this? Thanks!

Can't download anything from iTunes Store... From only one wifi hotspot

Hello
I am having trouble with downloading stuff from the iTunes Store. When I click on an app for instance to download it asks me for me password as usual, I enter it, then it disappears and nothing happens. It's the most irritating issue. It's only happening at one wifi hotspot at a cafe. I've tried using my iphone to download as well, it hangs, then finally says can't connect to iTunes Store. I have downloaded things at other hotspots with no issues whatsoever so it can't be my iPhone or Macbook. I reckon the hotpot doesn't allow those kind of downloads. I might be wrong though, don't really have an idea. Does anyone have any ideas that I can try?
Thanks
Greg Russell

It does indeed sound to me like that hotspot either blocks connections to the iTunes Store (quite possibly to prevent people from loading their connection up with large downloads) or has a routing problem. In either case there's probably nothing you can do other than to just use a different hotspot, though you can talk to the cafe and ask them if they're indeed blocking the iTunes Store; that would at least let you know for sure.

Can't open purchased songs from itunes store

I downloaded songs from itunes store a while back. My laptop crashed and now i have a small ASUS eee pc with a 4gb hard drive. I have windows XP SP1 and cannot upgrade to SP2 (not enough room on my HD). i had to get an older version of itunes that's compatible with SP1. I can see the songs that I purchased but when I click on them it asks for password to authorize, then i enter it and then it says 'this computer is already authorized.' So now, what do I do? Help!!! I want the songs I bought!

how to transfer download game from itune store to ipad2

Connect the iPad to yoru computer and select the iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Apps - select that tab, select that app, and sync it to the iPad.
Syncing apps : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1977
You should also be able to re-download it for free directly on the iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app.
