Iphone Itunes music needing to be downloaded?

I did the most recent patch/update and when I did my itunes library on my phone is going wonky.... it's showing all my most recently downloaded items *which were downloaded while connected to my mac, not via wireless connectivity* with the downloading icon next to them, but not moving. It won't let me touch or do anything with them.... also alot of my other music which was on my phone is now showing cloud icons, showing it needs to be downloaded?!
Why is this happening, and how do I fix it???

Log into the iTunes Store with the same account you initially used, click the Buy button for each application again, and confirm you want to redownload it for free. For the music, click here and fill out the form.

  • I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I need my music back...

    I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks Again, Ronald

    Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
    You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
    You can redownload all the content.

  • Deleted all iTunes music, now can't download past purchases.  Help!

    I've somehow deleted all my iTunes music.  All the file names are still in the library but every time I select one I get the "can't find original file" message and now it won't let me download my past purchases.  How do I fix this?

    Do you still have them in your computer's recycle bin/trashcan that you can restore them from ?
    If not then what you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage. If music shows there (it won't in all countries) but doesn't have the cloud symbol against then try deleting the tracks so that they are no longer listed in the Music part of your library (where you are getting the 'unable to locate' message) and they should then get the cloud symbol in Purchased. Or you can tick the 'shows iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences if using a Mac) and they should then show with the cloud icon in the Music part of your library so that you can redownload them from there (again you will need to delete the missing tracks for them to potentially show for redownloading).
    If you've changed countries since downloading them then you won't be able to redownload them, nor if the rights-holder has removed them from the store.

  • IPhone/iTunes music lost - how to get it back without having to pay again?

    I have an iPhone 3Gs I am very frustrated and upset at the moment. I have spent a lot of money over the past year on downloading music for my iPhone, some of it straight to the phone and sometimes straight into iTunes.
    Now I just upgraded to the 4.0 software and it has wiped all of my music from my iPhone except what I purchased on my iPhone that day. I have some of my music backed up on a harddrive, but there seems to be loads of albums missing still (I have all the receipts emailed to me).
    Is there not a button that tells you which things you have purchased in iTunes so can just redownload them for free? It wants me to pay again when I have tried!
    This is not fair! I don't understand why it wipes my iPhone every time I update the software. Please someone help me find my music and get it back on my iPhone?
    Many thanks,
    Shelly

    though slightly off topic, the following post by Zevoneer in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8794716 says it all:
    Did you back up your purchases before you you reinstalled your system? If you erased your drive then the purchases will have been erased along with everything else. If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that 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." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
    If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • Can i back up everything on my 3g iPhone (iTunes on old PC) to download on to my new 4s (on laptop)?

    When I got my iPhone 3g I was on my parents' old PC. Since getting my iPhone 4s I have my itunes on there. I have downloaded all my purchases and apps - but rather than sit putting CD after CD into itunes - i was wondering if there was a way of backing up my itunes music library? OR a way of deauthorising my iphone 3g so i can use it on my laptop? As i have used 4 out of the 5 devices for my itunes account

    Devices do not count on your authorization.  Authorization ONLY applies to computers, NOT iphones/ipod/ipadsATV.
    Copy everything from the old computer to your new one. Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar for instructions on how to move the itunes library.

  • How do i bulk down load music from my iCloud to my mac and my iPhone. this is a recurring problem where my music needs to be downloaded evrytime to play it

    My music library has the cloud next to it both on my phone and computor. I can not listen to music when movile unless i download this when on wifi or data. Why is this constantly happening, I have switched phones and now my complete library on my mac has the same problem

    For your purchases, read this:  iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    For other content, you need to transfer from your old computer to the new Mac or use a third party utility like http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/ that can get it from your iPhone.

  • HT4009 I bough pinball arcade in app purchases ( all pinball machines that were available  ).  Now that I have new iphone, Itunes charged me again to download them on new phone.  They then told me they could do nothing.  Help.  They are ********.

    I bought and downloaded pinball acade from itunes in the last year.  I bought all in app puchases possible ( all pinball machines). Downloading them to my itouch an ipad as necessary.  Sometimes they would crash and I would simply reload them.  I bought a new iphones this week and while putting this app on my
    new phone (with in app puchases) I noticed my balance on my Itunes account was going down faster than my gas tank.  They were charging me again  I contacted Apple and Itunes and they told me it was not there problem and I needed to contact Pinballarcade.com.  That is like buying a washing machine from Sears and after having problems, they tell me to contact Kenmore.  I have bought thousands in music and apps over the years.  I will start switching to other services in the future.  I also have an occupation that allows me to interact with the public.  Whenever the opportunity allows,  I will tell them of my experiences.
    I did try to contact pinballarcade.com, but the website is not working, and I am running out of patience.

    The Same thing happened to me! I lost about 15 Tables from all first 3 seasons and I contacted their shoddy support email, and got a response saying that I should do this that and the other thing and I followed their advice only to get the same result....All of those table are still only available to me if I purchase them!  I am so upset, I think I lost about $60.00 in purchases for which I have all my receipts for....Anyone know an answer?  No snarky replies please, what do you have to gain from that..I'm sure we've all been screwed by in-app purchases before and you know what a shock it is.  Thanks in Advance!

  • HT1491 I have to wait 90 days on the iTunes music until I can download my music onto my ipad 2 what should I do?

    Hope you can help me

    I assume that you have two iTunes accounts and that you've logged in with one of them and re-downloaded past purchases ? Downloading past purchases links that device to that account, and you will need to wait 90 days before you can log in with a different account and download past purchases from that as well - the 90 day timer can't be overridden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    I think that it's designed to stop other people logging into somebody else's device and downloading all their past purchases i.e. sharing music etc.
    If you have content from both accounts on your computer's iTunes then you could try syncing it from there (but note that re-downloading past purchases from an account on your computer's iTunes will also start a 90 day timer on it).

  • IPhone/iTunes music won't sync

    I can't get my music to sync to my iPhone.  I have iPhone 5 and iTunes version 11 (Everything is updated).  I had to delete my music last week to upgrade to iOS 7 because there wasn't enough room on my phone.  And now I can't get it to sync back onto the phone.  I've tried everything I found in the apple support discussions to no avail.  I can't even manage my music manually. It just will not sync to the phone whether it's manual or over wi-fi.

    It sounds like you're having the same problems as me.
    I've spoke to Apple about it and nothing worked when i spoke to customer service. I was then passed on to the line manager who couldn't help either. I was then told that the problem would be passed on to the engineers to see if they could see what the problem was.
    I've not heard a thing from Apple since.

  • Hello, Can anyone tell me...if I purchase a music album from the iTunes Music Store, can I download these onto an ordinary mp3 Player, or does it have to have the Apple OS system , i.e. the ipod?

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell me....am I able to download music purchased from iTunes store onto a non-apple mp3 device, OR NOT?
    I am relatively new to Apple , so am fairly new to the system!
    Thanks!

    You can, but you will have to create a new version of the songs that you download from the store (they will be in .m4a format from the store which your MP3 player won't support).
    After downloading a song, go into iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) and on the General tab click the 'Import Settings' button and on the next screen change the 'import using' to 'MP3 encoder' (or one of the other options if your MP3 player supports it). To create a MP3 version of your downloaded song(s), select/highlight them in the Music part of your iTunes library, control-click, and on the popup select 'create MP3 version' (the 'MP3' will change depending upon what you've selected as the type on 'import settings' options).
    Creating a different version of songs : iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - Apple Support
    You should then be able to copy the music to your MP3 player in the same way as you normally do.

  • Does anyone know why the App store keeps repeating that the iTunes update needs to be downloaded?

    Just downloaded Yosemite, and then did the update for iTunes. I then noticed that it was still telling me that it needed to be updated, so did it again, thinking it had not worked. Still said it was needing an update. When I opened iTunes it has been updated, but still it says the update is available!

    Go into System information (Option key down + apple logo) . Click on Applications and see if iTunes is located in a different location or not.
    If you have multiple copies of iTunes and if its the external hard disk . Remove the drive and see if it shows the update again...

  • Itunes music videos , do not download to ipod.

    Hi,
    I bought a music video from itunes, it plays on the computer, but when downloaded to the ipod, it just shows the artwork in a small box, no moving pictures.
    I have checked that on the playback tab, video settings is ticked play in full screen but still does not work.
    Also exported an avi. file to ipod settings on quicktime but this does not appear on the ipod when downloaded.
    Help!!

    Avi files do not play on Ipods, only mpeg4 and H264 formats do. Check the Ipod page, it shows on the bottom left which formats and what size they have to be in.
    For seeing the video make sure your TV out is set to off on the ipod.

  • ITunes help needed.  I downloaded an album and some singles.  Many of the songs cut off.  How can I re-download the damaged tunes?

    I downloaded an album and some singles, then burned them to disc.  Many songs blanked out while playing.  Thought it was a bad disk, but it turns out that they didn't download properly from the iTunes store.  How do I re-download previously purchased items?  I've tried following the general help tips but they haven't worked.
    Thanks,
    Plumpfeet

    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.

  • Purchased itunes music and it not download error 34

    purchased music and received error 34.
    do I have to purchase it again?
    how can I redownload it without having it to repay?

    I've had this same error and tried the "fix" suggestion from Ravencroaker 3 times, and the same error appears along with the message, "you've already purchased this song". Also, the error message says iTunes cannot find the server. Yet, I am DL other song files no problem.
    This has only happened to one song... so far.
    However, this is the more important question below:
    Do I get a credit or a refund for the song? Since I paid for a song that I didn't get.
    Cheers
