I purchased a song, but it doesn't show in my Library

Need help. New purchased song does not show in my library, yet when I try to purchase it again, itunes store explains I already purchased it. Any suggestions?

Hi AtlantaMan,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions Fora!
As for your question, it's in the wrong forum: this is the "iTunes University" forum; you need someone's help from the "iTunes" forum:
<http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=149>
I hope someone there can help you troubleshoot! (It's likely that whoever is knowledgeable about iTunes and iTunes-Store will need more information...)
Cheers, Tristan

  • I purchased a song, but it doesn't show up in the purchased catagory.

    When I go to the song page, it shows that it has been purchased. Before I purchased the song, I had 8.86 now I have 7.57. Also, it won't download onto my ipod. I have injected it out of my computer twice and it still won't pop on there. Thanks in advance for your help.

    When I go to the song page, it shows that it has been purchased.
    When you say "song page," is that the screen in the iTunes Store, where you purchase the song?
    In your iTunes Music library, do you see that song listed?  In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, below LIBRARY, click on Music.  To the right, the list of songs in your iTunes library is shown.  Is that purchased song on that list?
    After confirming the purchased song is in your iTunes library, the next step is to get it to sync to your iPod.  Please post back...

  • IStore shows I purchased a song but it does not show in my library?

    Frustrating. My old computer died, I got a new one. I reinstalled iTunes and sync'd my purchased songs. However, one song I purchased did not transfer. Now when I go out to the i store it doesn't let me buy it because it says I already purchased it? what am I doing wrong???

    From the iTunes store main page, look to the right.
    Click "Purchased".
    There you will find everything you have purchased.

    Jgitt1214,
    It is a long-standing intermittent display bug in iTunes, that has been reported on both the Windows and Mac versions for several years.
    When it occurs, the tracks really are in your library, but do not display in Music view.  Usually they do show up in Recently Added and/or Purchased.  And of course, the files really are in the folders where they are supposed to be.  Does that match what you are seeing?
    Home remedies that people have reported can fix it are to restart your machine, or to download a song from the Store (e.g. a free single).

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have to download the purchased music, because now you can only listen to purchased music from iCloud. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

  • I purchased a movie from itunes on my ipad but it doesn't show up in my library.  It shows up in my history of purchases when I open that page but it is not noted in the list of purchases with all my other purchases.  Any idea why?

    I purchased a movie from itunes on my regular ipad but it doesn't show up in my library.  I am able to view it via my movies icon on the Ipad I used when purchasing it but it does not show up in my purchases listing to download to my ipad mini.  Also if I access my itunes account it does not show up in the history of purchases listing like all my other purchases but it does show up when i open that page at the very top; separate form the list.  I've tried everything to get it to show up so I can download/view it on my ipad mini.  

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

    Hope this helps!

  • How do I show my iCloud purchases in iTunes, but prevent it from showing duplicates of the songs I already have on my computer?  There are duplicates of essentially everything! :(

    How do I show my iCloud purchases in iTunes, but prevent it from showing duplicates of the songs I already have on my computer?  There are duplicates of essentially everything!
    I would like to show my available songs that I could download if I want, however the ones I've already downloaded to my computer are showing up still, which results in duplicates of everything (one on my computer, one in the cloud)

    No.
    Are the photos in an iTunes backup? If so then:
    - You can restore another iPod touch, iPhne or iPad from that backup
    - Extract the photos from that backup by

  • I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod.  Is there anyway to restore it to my pc?

    I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod.  Is there anyway to restore it to my laptop from the ipod?  I've seen others with a similar situation and the question was asked if it was still on the ipod but can't find a follow up to point me in the right direction.

    Use the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes.

  • How come ITunes says I purchased a song, but I can't find it in any library

    How come ITunes says I purchased a song, but I can't find it in any library

    As in purchased it 4 minutes ago, or 4 years ago?  The new versions of iTunes are always very reliable at having songs show up in the main library display window when an item is added.  Does your song appear in Recently Added?  Have you checked your media folders to see if the song is actually on your computer but it is just iTunes that is having conniptions?
