Iphone itunes wifi - missing music after purchase

i purchased a new album on my iphone through the itunes wifi store.
it worked great (amazing feature), and i played the songs for a few days.
once i sync'd with my itunes on my macbook though,
the music was lost forever.
cant find it anywhere on my mac (even through spotlight).
its not on my phone at all. the funny thing is, i even tried
in itunes to check for purchases, and all it found was the digital
booklet that came with the album. all music still lost.
i searched forums and google. couldnt find anything.

Problems: iPhone, iTunes and the Music App

As the title suggests, iPhone, iTunes and the music app on the iPhone have all been causing me a great deal of frustration. I am experienceing a number of seamingly related problems:
1. After adding new music and syncing my phone with iTunes, iTunes seems to "choose" what songs it wants to sync even though I clearly have "Sync Entire Music Library" checked.
2. When all my music does sync on my phone, certain songs will be missing in the app or will only show up when searching for them using the search bar in the stock music app. Other times they will show up in the "Music" tab and not any of my playlists or under the "Albums" tab.
3. I have experienced a couple instances in which WHOLE ENTIRE ALBUMS are missing from my music app on the iPhone, but will still show up when searching for them.
4. One album will display split up into two inside the music app even though they are organized into one unit on iTunes.
I have erased and re-synced all music from my iPhone multiple times, which will fix the issue for a short period then reappear.
I have an AT&T iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1 and the latest version of iTunes 11.1.5 (5)
If someone can tell me whats going on or at least let me know if this is a common problem. If it is I really hope Apple knows about it and is fixing it.

Hello gman4354,
It sounds like your phone is not syncing correctly to your computer, and the Music app is not functioning correctly even after deleting and re syncing your music from the app. I recommend starting by turning off your Music syncing in iTunes by unchecking that box in the Music tab when you have the phone connected, and clicking apply.
Then close the Music app on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and sync the Music to your phone again to re test the issue:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Unless you have backed up the items you don't. You can contact iTS Customer Service and tell them what has happened and they might give you a second download. You are only entitled to one download of the purchased content per the iTS terms of service.

Iphone 3G wifi not working after upgrade

Iphone 3G wifi not working after software upgrade, no proper fix from Apple. APPLE SUPPORT - R U SLEEPING.......

You are not talking to Apple. This is a user to user forum.
If you're using the iPhone 3G, there will be no fix for your problem. The software you have, 4.2.1, is the end of the line for the 3G. Apple is no longer providing software updates for the 3G.

After doing an OS update, now iTunes stops playing music after playing a few songs.

After doing an OS update, now iTunes stops playing music after playing a few songs. Any thoughts about how to remedy this?

Same Problem here. Also, when this happens, it loses whatever album art was playing before. I've tried reinstalling and it doesn't help. Any ideas how to fix this? It's really annoying!

Is there a way for iTunes to sync music not purchased from iTunes to my account from my iPhone?

I accidentally wiped out all the memory from my desktop computer, including all the music from my Window's media player and itunes. All of my favorite music is stored on my iPhone, most of which was not bought from iTunes. iTunes only synced the music I purchased directly from iTunes, but I want to know if there's a way I can get the music I didn't buy from iTunes off my iPhone and back on my computer. I apologize if that was really confusing.

Recently I was adding music to my Ipod Touch and charging it, afterwards, my Itunes was missing music, does anyone know what happend?

A few days ago, I plugged my ipod touch into my computer to charge it, and also add new music I purchased. When I unplugged the USB cable ( I disconnected it from the ipod first, as I was told to do) I went to look through my music. There was a notification, I don't remember what it said verbatum, but the gist was "177 songs could not be properly synced onto your device". Now, I'm missing music from my itunes library. For example, I purchased two full albums from the same band, now over half the songs from the albums are just gone, they are no longer on my ipod or itunes. Does anyone know what happend, and/or how I can fix this? Please and thank you
P.S. This happend after installing itunes 6, I've noticed many other people are also having problems with it as well

Could be several things. Without more information like what was the wording of the error message I will not even guess.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How can I delete my old Laptop from my iPhone (iTunes Wifi Sync) and connect it to my new Laptop

HI;
I have an iPhone 4S Factory Unlocked, up to date (iOS 6.0.1). I connect it to my Laptop named "The Love" via USB and opend iTunes and checked Sync over Wifi to enable this feature. Everything works great.
After a couple months I sold my Laptop and bought a new Laptop named "Raid", I did the smae steeps, connect it to my new Laptop via USB and opend iTunes and I checked Syn over Wifi to enable this feature and hit Apply, also I did the sync via USB cable and it works fine.
Now I want to sync via wifi, so I went to General --> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync --> here my iPhone still showing "Sync will resume when "The Love-PC" is available", Okay I sold it!! What I will do! I stock! does this mean I will need to find my old Laptop and buy it back????!!!!
I tried to do those steeps over and over, same result, my iPhone stock with the my old Laptop, It seems my iPhone liked my "The Love" Laptop
My question is:
How do I delete this setting? and connect it to my new Laptop?
All the best;

Well " even if I plugged it via usb" I meant that I did all the spteps, connect my iPhone via USB, Open iTunes, Check on Sync this device via WiFi, click on Sync, Unplug the iPhone.
Again I DO NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE USB OR SYNC MY IPHONE THROUGH ITUNES VIA USB
I HAVE AN ISSUE TO SYNC MY IPHONE VIA WIFI (WIRELESSLY), THAT IS MEAN SYNC MY IPHONE WITH ITUNES WITHOUT USING USB CABLE.

How to sync music after purchase

How do I sync music to my shufffle after purchasing music. My shuffle keeps saying to sync music ?????

This document describes the ways to put music on a shuffle (and also shows the four shuffle models)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
If the shuffle is the current 4th gen (or 3rd gen), here is one convenient way to do it.
If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. When connected, the shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Select the shuffle there. To the right, the shuffle's Summary screen is shown. Toward the top, where it says Summary, click Music to the right of Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
Before you set up that Music screen, create a new playlist in your iTunes library, and put all of the songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist. (Or you can use an existing playlist.) Back on the shuffle's Music screen in iTunes, check the checkbox for Sync Music. Choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, find that playlist under Playlists and select (checkmark) it. You can select other items on those lists if desired.
When you click Apply, the songs in your selection(s) sync to the shuffle. Going forward, to update the shuffle's songs, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The shuffle does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the shuffle (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes.

Error message when downloading music after purchase

I've never had a problem downloading songs from itunes before. I just purchased 3 songs and now, it gives me an error message saying that there is an error and the files are corrupted. When I try to "check for purchases", they are there, but will not download. Can anyone help me with this? Please email me directly since I'm a dummy when it comes to figuring out these forums. [email protected] Thanks.

Presuming you're using the latest version of iTunes, I'd suggest that you contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of their web page and explain the problem to them. They may need to reset the download, or there may be a problem with the tracks themselves.
If you want to be emailed with replies to your questions when you start a topic, click on My Settings on the right of any of these pages, and click "yes" to "always subscribe to topics I create". Then any replies will automatically be emailed to you.
Good luck.

Missing music after updating iTunes and iPhone os

After updating to the latest iTunes, I have lost huge amounts of music, and I can't find them on my computer at all. We wanted to install the latest OS on our phones, and to do so, you need the latest itunes version. After intalling the latest itunes, and subsequently the latest software for the iphones, a large amount of the music has disappeared. It has all come off of the iMac (which holds our entire library) and includes a mixture of purchased from two different accounts and songs from CDs that have been imported.
I have tried searching for the files on my computer and they cannot be located. Stranger still, I have Apple's Time Machine and have looked back to before the update, and they aren't there either, which is completely bazaar as they are in the itunes library and we used to listen to them on this computer? Is it possible that the files names have become corrupt and the tracks are there but don't associate with the names?
Please can anyone help?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
Regards.

Iphone 4 missing music after ios6 update

Since I have updated my IPhone 4 with IOS 6 it has not functioned well at all. Music is missing (but on Mac, Ipad1, I touch 1), 70%of apps in waiting, phone says I am not subscribed to ITunes match (which I am). Funny how my touch and pad are fine because they could not be updated (IOS 5 still) and yet my phone is messed up. I contated customer support and they are stumped as well. Any suggestions?

Even more strangely, all the albums I have checked in iTunes on my iMac show in "Music" but almost all the songs are greyed out, with a few random ones showing. When synching the iPhone to theiMac a long blue bar indicates that the music is there but it doesn't transfer to the iPhone. The files on the iMac play fine via iTunes on the iMac.
I have done a full "Restore" but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?
