Hey there Iboppie,
It sounds like you need to have the menu bar showing in iTunes. This article will help you with that:
iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5610
To turn on iTunes menus in Windows 8 or 7, do one of the following:
Press the Alt key.
This will turn the menus on and off temporarily. This will change back to the default, the iTunes menus being turned off, when you next close iTunes.
To keep the iTunes menus active, change the setting by selecting the Menu icon in the upper-left, and then selecting Show Menu Bar. Alternatively, you can press Control-B.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

I want all my purcahse music on this computer how do i do that

I want all my purchase music on this computer how do i do that?

Put it there.
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of the old computer to your new one.
It will not magically appear anywhere. It will only be where you put it.

I just bought a macbookpro. And trying to sync my iCloud music to my iTunes. I've already "authorized" this computer to my iCloud account but It still won't play my music that I've oreviously purchased. What do I do?

I just bought a macbookpro. And trying to sync my iCloud music to my iTunes. I've already "authorized" this computer to my iCloud account but It still won't play my music that I've previously purchased. I know this isn't a matter of having tI many devices on one account because I only have my phone and now this laptop on it. What do I do?

I purchased music on my computer with old email address, same computer new email address, but I get play music becasue it tells me computer not authorized...how do you authorize???

I purchased music on my computer with old email address, same computer new email address, but I get play music becasue it tells me computer not authorized...how do you authorize???

I have almost the exact same problem. I have a bunch of music, ringtones, TV shows, movies... stuff that I purchased that I can't authorize. All of these items were purchased with the same account I'm still using now. The difference is that I've changed my email address. I don't have the original email address from when I made those purchases and I'm unable to authorize them. I can see that when I view info on one of these purchases the "Account Name: " has my old email address... not my iTunes or Apple account. So, if I'm authorizing my iTunes using my new email none of these older purchases will work.
I'm really curious how to fix this. I've got quite a few purchases from years back that I'd like access to, but I can't authorize using my new email/iTunes or my old email (the one used for the original purchases).
Take a look at the info and tell me if you see "Account Name:" on one of your purchases. And is that associated to your old email address? There has to be a way to fix this or 'transfer' older purchases, especially if it's all under the same real 'account'.

HT203167 I lost purchased music on my computer that was purchased in the last 4 to 5 months because of virus. I did not back up the few songs I purchased on cd. I also lost all data on my Ipod nano and had to restore it. How do I download these purchases

I lost purchased music on my computer that was purchased in the last 4 to 5 months because of virus. I did not back up the few songs I purchased on cd. I also lost all data on my Ipod nano and had to restore it. How do I download these purchases I lost?

Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
You can also re-download content using an iOS device.
For more information, see:

This if course will not apply to songs you did not buy through the iTunes Store.
Regards.

Plyaing purchased music on another computer

How do you play your purchased music on another computer?... I downloaded an album on to my other computer, is there any way where i can get it onto this cmoputer without purchasing it again?

You'll need to physically move the files any way you like (email, usb key, CD, etc...). The other computer will have to have iTunes installed. You bring the files into iTunes by dragging into iTunes' window or doing File->add to library from iTunes. When you play the song it will ask you for your iTunes account and password.
You can authorize up to 5 computers to play your iTunes purchased songs.

Recover "Purchased Music" Playlist

Under the "Store" section in iTunes, I accidently deleted the "Purchased Music" playlist that contains a playlist of all purchased music on that computer. Note that I did NOT delete the music, just the playlist.
For example under "Store" instead of showing:
Store
-iTunes Store
-Shopping Cart
-Purchased Music
But mine just shows:
Store
-iTunes Store
-Shopping Cart
I looked under all the settings and preferences I could find to try to turn it back on. I also tried searching and just found a bunch of threads where people had deleted their purchased music, not this playlist.
If I can't get it back that's fine, but figured I would ask since it one of the defualt playlists. Thanks in advance.

i did as described (created a smart playlist with purchased and protected AACs), and it has successfully identified my purchased files, but when i try to drag them to the green purchased playlkist under "store" they do not transfer. it is as if the "purchased" playlist is protected from any additions that do not come from the itunes store, although all of these songs were purchased on the itunes store. any suggestions?
Try dragging the actual songs from your Library into the Purchased playlist, and not the songs that appear from the Smart Playlist; use the Smart Playlist to identify the purchased entries and try again this way.
Although I'm not totally sure why it isn't adding to your Purchased list. I just added the same purchased song to my Purchased playlist twice, through both methods described. (from Smart Playlist and from my Library)
Strange...

When i first got my iphone i plugged it into my friend's computer and songs on from itunes. Now it will not show up in the side bar when i plug it into my computer. I have already tried 'authorizing this computer'. What can i do?

When I first got my iphone i plugged it into my friends computer and added songs from their itunes. Now when i plug it into my computer it will not connect or show up in the sidebar in itunes. I have already tried factory resetting the phone and 'authorizing this computer' in itunes. Can anyone help?

Is your iTunes up to date, it is now 10.7, click the iTunes button at the top of this page if you need the new version.

HT1420 I can't find the "authorized this computer" on the iTunes store menu. Can anyone tell me where to look for it? It doesn't seem to be in the topics across the top of the home page. Thanks.

I am trying to authorize a computer. But I can't locate the"authorized this computer" on the iTunes store menu. I can't find it under any topics across the menu bar at the top of the page. Can anyone help me find it? Thanks.

It should be on the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then try pressing Alt-S and see if it appears) e.g. (screenshot is from iTunes on a Mac)

Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.
Without a rescue email address, you can't reset them yourself. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

HT1349 I had to uninstall and reinstall iTunes due to not being able to access it at all. I had had to do this once before (yrs ago) and it recovered my music. This time it didn't. I could import ONLY what was currently on my iPhone, but lost all else.

I had to uninstall and re-install iTunes on my PC (Windows XP). I had had to do this previously (yrs ago) and it recovered my music. This time it didn't and I only have the music that I had checked (which was on my iPhone 4S). None of the other songs were recovered (MANY). Any advice on how to restore? I know I can store it to iCloud (NOW). But it wasn't saved in iCloud previously. Thanks!

It most definitely is the browser that is causing most of the problems. I have used Firefox so long, I can't even remember. Maybe since its beginning. But today is a sad day. I gave up on it. I can't accomplish anything and end up spending hours troubleshooting. I see I am not alone. I am so sick of it "not responding." It's simply not worth it to spend so much time trying to make the thing work, so I can actually do something. Installed, removed, reinstalled numerous times, and I can't fix your software on my Win 7 Pro machine. No problems with IE or Chrome. So. as much as I hate Google Update, Chrome has won the test. Sad, sad day for me to lose Firefox, but it just does not work on the Win 7 machine. I don't have the same issues with the XP machine and have exactly all the same add-ons. Keep it up developers and you will have no Win 7 users at all.
