ICloud listed some of my purchased songs incorrectly

I just looked at my "Purchased" songs in icloud and it has a lot of my song listed incorrectly. It will have the right song title but worng artist, or vise versa, how can I correct this. I thought icloud looks up your purchased songs from itunes? if so, how could iCloud and itunes list this songs incorrectly?

Can you play the songs on your computer?
Did you download the songs from the iTunes Store? If you did, you can download it again, see this Apple doc -> Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play

After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play (though they still play on the computer). When I tested it on another computer it claimed that computer was not authroied to play these songs even though I was just playing them directly off the ipod. Even more strange is that I alos have a number of songs loaded on my itunes from albums I loaded and I am fairly sure these songs were ones I recorded rather than purchased but now they appear on my purchased list.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How come I can't swipe some of the purchased songs I have to delete them? I could on some but others I can't. Help?

I used to just be able to swipe left on a song I have in my Music library and delete a song if I didn't want it straight from my iPhone. How come I can't do that to some of the purchased songs I have?

Hello there, dleaupepe28.
You are correct on the fact that you can delete a song directly from your iPhone by swiping from right to left over the song:
Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete.
iPhone User Guide - Music
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
If the song was purchased from the iTunes Store and has a cloud icon to the right of it, it is being streamed from iTunes in the Cloud and not actually on your device. You can hide the song by accessing the iTunes Store on the computer:
To hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."

You will need to quit and relaunch the Music app on your iPhone after hiding the purchase on your computer before seeing the changes.

Some of my purchased songs do not play in itunes

I have purchased song from itunes either via my phone or through my computer ( but mostly through my phone). I noticed that some of the songs that i purchased do not play on my iphone and now im finding out that there are not even playing in my itunes. I can see the album artwork and the songs ( it seems like the file is there) but when I go to play the songs on my phone it just skips to the next shuffle songs. So it is as if the songs were purchased but then I cant get them to play.
I also just went back and dowloaded the latest versions of both itunes and for my iphone.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

Hello jaiwill,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Sorry to that there is an issue with some of your purchased songs. First, I recommend trying to delete the problematic songs and redownload the songsfrom your past purchases.
Follow these steps to delete the song from iTunes:
Delete an item from your library
Click the item to select it, and press the Delete key.
Click Delete Item.
Do one of the following:
Remove the item only from your iTunes library: Click Keep File.
Delete the item from your computer: Click Move to Recycle Bin. The item is removed the next time you empty the Recycle Bin.
You can find the full article here:

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
Follow these steps to delete the song from your iPhone:
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide ( http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf ):
You can follow the steps to redownload the songs in this article:

If you are still not able to play the songs after redownloading them, you can report an issue with this purchases using the steps in this article:

When click on purchased I don't see a list of my previous purchased songs, Why?

When I click on purchased on the right hand side of the Itunes Store I don't see a list of my previous purchased songs why?

What do you see?

My computer is saying some of my purchases are not authorized to play some of my purchased songs, My computer is saying some of my purchases are not authorized to play some of my purchased songs

My iPod was working fine, now when I plug it in to my computer and try to sync my music it is telling me that my computer is no longer authorized to play several of my purchased songs. I type my info to authorize my computer and it says it's already authorized. But it doesn't continue to update or sync my music.

That suggests that the tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Why are some of my purchased songs cutting off when I play them on my iPod but play fine on iTunes on my laptop?

Here's a question that's been bugging me for years, and I'm trying - again - to find an answer. I have a couple dozen songs purchased off the iTunes Store that are clipped then I play the on my iPod (4th or 5th generation; sorry that I can't remember). They cut off in exactly the same places. Re-syncing never helps. The songs all play just fine on iTunes on my laptop.
What's going on? How do I fix it? Thanks in advance!

Try deleting them from the iPod and redownloading them directly to the iPod

Can't log in to purchase songs--incorrect aol password

Help! When I try to purchase a song in itunes using my aol screenname and password itunes tells me my password is incorrect. been using itunes for several years with the same aol account, no new changes, can log into aol directly with no problems. contacted aol and they said "so sorry. contact apple" ugh.
can you help?

try changing your aol password.
just to see what happens.
you can always change it back afterwards.

Itunes says my new laptop (windows 8) isn't authorized to play some of the purchased songs that are already on my iphone (I previously synced it with my old laptop). It says it will delete them from the phone unless I authorize the computer.

This results in an endless loop where I authorize it, and then get the same warning. I have already tried deauthorizing all the computers on the account, and then reauthorizing the new one yet the problem persists. Also, only three devices are associated with the account. I can't find the solution anywhere so help will be welcomed. All songs were purchased through the itunes store and it appears to be older ones that are targeted for deletion; however, these older ones are still available for purchase in the itunes store so that's not the problem. Thanks.

Hello, ted_marx38.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID. When prompted to authorize the computer it may show a different Apple ID. If this is the case, the computer will need to be authorized for this Apple ID. The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.

Can't see some of my purchased songs

Hi,
in iTunes on my MAC there are missing songs I've already purchased. It is possible that the missing purchases were made on my iPhone. The strange thing is that "Show iTunes in the Cloud" in preferences is selected and if I remember correctly I was able to see all songs nearly one month ago. Maybe problems are related to downloading Songs of Innocence, since I was unable to download this album until sign out / sign in.
Any idea of how to make missing songs show again?
Thnx
iTunes 11.4 (18)
Mavericks 10.9.5

I am having the same issue. Purchased two songs on my iphone, but they do not show up on the purchased page. I started a chat yesterday, they couldnt help me. I was given an itunes store advisor, she hasnt been any help so far.
If they get back to me with someting that works, I'll reply again.

Getting Purchased Songs to show up in "Purchased Songs" list

Purchased new computer and have opened iTunes and imported my entire library into iTunes (library is on an external disk). Only some of my purchased songs showed up under Store/Purchased. The purchased songs are in the library, they are just not listed under "Purchased" as well. Any way to fix this?

Actually, it's pretty easy to do this. I'm having the same issue but not because I have a new computer. Check out this article:

Some purchased songs skipping

some of my purchased songs sort of skip or play slow when i play them on itunes but they work fine on my i pod. My non purchased songs all play fine just some of my purchased songs. Completely uninstalling i tunes did not work. Deleting one of the song from my i tunes library and letting my i pod put it back into itunes did not work. I have a song that i have purchased from i tunes and the same song also came off of a CD that i have and the song from the CD works fine just the itunes purchased one "skips". This all seemed to happen when i downloaded the newest version of i tunes. How can i fixed this or am i just out of luck with these purchased songs?

for songs in itunes.. i googled this problem.. and it seems to have worked. what almighty google told me was to change the settings of the quicktime player. so in the control panel (classic view) there is a quicktime icon. open this and click the advanced tab. change the mode to safe mode and click apply. my itunes then processed each song i have (over 5000) which took quite some time but it seems to have worked..
now my problem is trying to sort out the movies which skip.. although the sound got better once i had done the above, the picture still jumps. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
hope this helps everyone

Itunes unable to play my purchased songs. . It gives the message unable to find the original.

itunes can't play some of my purchased songs. Those have an exclamation mark on the beginning of the line. It gives also the message "unable to find the original ..." It's probably in iMatch but I can't show it the way up there.
Thank you for your help

I've purchased songs thru iTunes Store and they will not sync to my iPhone 5. They show up as if they are in the cloud but wont download to my iPhone, Why?

So some of my purchased songs from iTunes are not syncing to my iPhone. Is there a setting or format issue? If so, how do I change it? The songs show up on my iPhone as if they synced, but do not play. There is an icon to the right saying it needs to be downloaded from iCloud and when I click it, it wont download.

From my library, how do I upload previous purchased songs into the cloud?

I have a slew of songs in my library, but I can't figure out how to upload those songs into the iCloud, and yes, they were purchased from the iTunes store. Help!

Check the ID you are signed in with in Settings>iTunes & App Store. Any music you purchased with that ID should be available to download from iCloud by opening the iTunes Store app, then tap More>Purchased>Music>Not on This iPhone (iPod, iPad), then tap the iCloud download symbols to download them. You can also go to Settings>Music, turn on Show All Music, then open the Music app, go to your song list and tap the iCloud download symbols next to purchased songs that are not already on your device.
You can only do this with a single ID. If you have music purchased with a different ID, they will not appear in your purchased list. Also, after download previous purchases for one ID you cannot download previous purchases from a different ID for 90 days (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627).
