I can't find a song I bought on itunes?

I bought a sobng on itunes, and when it showed up on my song list it had a picture of a cloud near it. Now, I can't find the song on my itunes list but I paid for it. Help?

Does it stil have the cloud symbol or not ?
If it has the cloud symbol next to it e.g.
If it has then that implies that it is only in the cloud and not downloaded into your library. If you click on it then it should download onto your computer.
(You can turn off whether items that are only in the cloud show on your iTunes library via Edit > Preferences, iTunes > Preferences if on a Mac - select the Store tab on that and there should be a 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tickbox.)
You can also redownload content via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage. If an item is shown there but doesn't have the cloud symbol then is it still listed in your iTunes library (i.e. where you would click on it to play it) ? If it is then iTunes will be seeing that and assuming that there is therefore no need to be able to redownload it - deleting it from your library should then give the cloud symbol against it in Purchased.
If it doesn't show in the Purchased link at all then is it still in your country's store ? If not then the record label has probably removed it, so you won't be able to redownload it. If it is still in the store but not in Purchased then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

  • I can't find the songs I bought on iTunes...

    Hi, I just got a new ipod, and then I got a new computer. I bought some songs from iTunes, but now they're not showing up at all on my account! (or at least that I could find.) Anyone know where they went? (the money's not refunded or anything, I still have the same amount as I did after I first bought the songs)
    -thanks-

    You have to copy the songs from one computer to another if you want to listen to them on more than one. Your purchases are downloaded once to your computer and you have to back them up so that you can copy them if you change computers. Your purchases aren't accessed through your iTunes account on each computer you log on to:
    iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
    iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    If you have them on the iPod you can transfer them from there: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    If they are not on the iPod and you have no back up I'm afraid the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage."

  • I just bought a new 4S.  How can I get a song I bought from iTunes into my ringtone folder ?

    I just bought a new 4S.  How can I get a song I bought from iTunes into my  Iphone Settings ringtone folder ?

    If you bought it, it will stay in your Purchased folder in iTunes.  If it's a song it won't play as a ringtone (they're different), although you can create a ringtone from it (Google "create ringtone in iTunes").

    I can't find the songs I just bought on my iPod touch. Any help you can give me is appreciated.. Thank you

    If they've finished downloading then they should be in the iPod's Music app - is that where you've looked for them ? If they don't show in there then have you tried closing the Music app via the iPod's taskbar and/or tried a soft-reset of your iPod to see if they then show up in Music ?

  • HT1725 Hello! I can't find one song in the Purchases in iTunes.

    Hello! I like listen music on my iPad. At one, I found, that name of one song is written in grey color. I've delete it, and I thought that I could download it again, but I can't find this song in the Purchases in iTunes! When I look at this song at the store, it shows me that I haven't bought this song. How to solve that problem?

    You are signed in with the same account that you bought the song with, you haven't changed countries since buying it, and it's the same song (e.g. you aren't looking at a differennt version of the song, different single, album, etc) ? Have you checked to see if it's hidden from the Purchased tab : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?
    If you've changed countries since buying it, or if the exact version of the song that you bought is no longer in your country's store, then you won't be able to redownload it. You've been keeping and maintaining a backup of all of yoru downloads via your computer's iTunes ? If you have then you can sync it back from your computer.

    Sorry, I meant the letters look "faded" not faed.

  • Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.

    If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
    If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
    iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

  • How can I find all exclamation marks in my iTunes without clicking on each song?  Is there a way to delete all instead of one at a time?

    How can I find all exclamation marks in my iTunes without clicking on each song?  Can they be deleted all at once instead of one song at a time?

    Lost & Found
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.
    Optional: It depends a bit on why things aren't where iTunes expects to find them but if they are in sensible Artist & Album folders in some common location then my FindTracks script should be able to reconnect them to iTunes. FindTracks uses some fuzzy matching routines and searches for multiple potential locations. For more details see this thread. Once you have repaired the tracks that can be found you can drag the contents of the Lost playlist into Found which will update things.
    Or, you can simply delete all the tracks in the Lost playlist with Ctrl-A to select them and then Shift-Delete to delete.

  • Can't play the songs I bought from iStore

    I can't play the songs I bought from iStore.
    It complain about the autorization, but how much I try it seems like I can't get this computer to get authorized.
    I login to iStore with my only login account, buy the song, and it gets downloaded. Then when I try to play the song, I asks me again about the authorization. I use the same accout login, and it reply that this computer is now authorized... again. But the songs stil can't be played.
    If I click again on the song the same loop above repeats itself.
    Frustrastion = I can't play the songs I have bought.
    Anyone?
    M.

    I, also, have that authorization nonsense (I am the administrator, and only user of the computer). But, still, I cannot make any changes. You will have to report to someone at iTunes, if you try to play the downloaded songs from iTunes.
    Which version, has it always been that way?
    Also, did you change your username/password, if things were working fine, at one time?
    I had your problem when I, originally, signed up with my AOL address. When I quite AOL, I got an Apple id, and I could not access my songs from AOL days for over three months. Eventually, someone at Apple helped me.

  • Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new sad and upgraded to Mountain Lion., but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this?  Graham

    Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new ssd and upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this?  A backup run did not install either photos or songs. Graham

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • I tunes can't find original song files of all my songs.  How do I fix this?

    I tunes can't find original song files of all my songs.  How do I fix this?

    Itunes stores ripped cds in the 'itunes' folder called 'itunes music' which under normal installation should reside into your 'My music' folder. Your music folders on the DVD then have to be copied into the 'Itunes music' folder for itunes to find it.
    The tracks with the exclamation marks have registered with the incorrect location into the library. You can do two things:
    Either search in the folder where you copied them from the DVD at the earlier step described above which means that you will have to do this for every single track, or the fastest way, delete all the incorrect entries and re-import by drag and drop into library the folders with the music you want to show in the library.

  • ITunes Can't find Some Songs?

    Hey guys - I had my Ext HD damaged and had to get a new one. I had my library and everything else important backed up (I keep all files on an ext HD to keep my computer HD free of crap). I didn't lose anything. When I opened iTunes and directed it to my new location it failed to find about 1/3 of my library. It looks like all of my data including ratings, play counts, etc are all there. The only issue is when I get to a song it can't find I have to manually direct it back to that file. What confuses me is it had no problem with songs in the same album, so they are in the same file. It seems very arbitrary as to what it did and did not locate.
    My question is, I can go through each song individually and point iTunes towards it. There has to be a way to do this in bulk. Anyone have an idea? There seems to be no problem with the library, files, folders, etc.
    Thanks for the help.

    I had the exact same problem. My iTunes library was on an external drive. It was working just fine. Then there were some problems with the external drive, so I got a new external drive and loaded the entire iTunes library onto it.
    I used iTunes preferences to direct it to the iTunes folder on the new external drive. Then I pressed the Option key while starting up iTunes to also redirect it to the iTunes folder on the external because (for reasons I can't fathom) setting the folder location in preferences wasn't enough.
    I have the same problem as zblom (original poster) - but only with about 5% of the songs in my library. About 95% of my songs have no problem. But there's an exclamation point next to about 5% of them, and when I try to play them, iTunes says it can't find the file. I've navigated my way to a few of the songs and then iTunes can find it. But I don't want to do that for about 300 songs - that would take hours.
    Any ideas what causes this? And (more importantly) any suggestions for how to get iTunes to recognize the location of those songs with the exclamation points?

  • Updated iPod software, now it can't find 100 songs of my music.

    It cannot fine the origional file for 100 songs? If I go into my music folder, itunes music, I can find all the songs. What happened!!??

    This is a major Itunes Flaw!
    This is not an issue that one of the volunteer experts can answer or solve. There needs to be a software change.
    Why they have not found a fix for it I don't know.
    If google can index and locate billions of pages, why in the world can't Apple make an itunes program that can locate songs after you have undocked.
    With me my problem is that I have my songs on an external drive. When I plug it back in it shows that it is the same drive, but itunes can't find the songs. Even when I repoint it in the right external directory, I still have to go into the specific root directory for that song. If you have 4000 songs that could take forever.
    What is the Deal Apple!!!!
