Is Music Removed From The Itunes Store?

November 1, 2006
Hi Guys,
I was browsing around in itunes yesterday for some music I heard on a radio station. I found that itunes had several of the artists I was looking for, and I decided to return to the store today to buy them. However, when I went back on the itunes store, I tried using power search to pull the songs I wanted to buy up again, only to find that the songs weren't there (I just got the "Your search did not match any results." message)
The thing is, I KNOW that these exact same songs were on the power search just yesterday evening. Does Apple remove songs from the itunes store if they are not as popular as others, or is it just my itunes program acting up? (the songs I was looking at I found by digging way down deep in the Electronic section).
I would appreciate anybody's answers to this problem.
Thanks,
Phil Shaw

P.S. Here is a couple of songs I wanted to buy that have apparently "disappeared" from the itunes store. Mabey one of you guys could plug these into the power seach and see if they come up on your itunes program:
1. "Pimp on Vacation" by Unforscene
2. "Remember Me" by Elak
3. Various songs by The Clifford Gilberto Rhythm Combination
Dell Precision M90 Windows XP Pro

Ph1l2007,
It is possible that you may be looking at the iTune Store for a different country.
Click on the Home icon at the top of the iTunes Store window, and the scroll down to the bottom of the page.
Make sure the country pull down is correct, and then try your search again.
Thank you,
Nathan C.

Podcast removed from the itunes store after 4 years

Hi
At the moment I think apple really suck big time. After building up a successful presence in the itunes store with my podcast I feel all my hard work has been in vain. Today I received an email saying that my podcast has been removed from the itunes store. This was obviously an automated email and just makes me angry that it has just been removed. My podcast has been in the top 200 music charts over the last few months so I was really pleased. I try to release an episode every month so it has always been regularly updated. I have also ran my feed through feedvalidator.org and this says that the feed is valid. Can someone please shed any light on this as I am really p****d off right now.
My feed is http://djsharky.podbean.com/feed
Any help would be great.
Also I know I had a number of reviews etc so have I lost everything that I have built up now?
Regards
Richard

Also this was the email I got:
Dear Podcast Owner

How Do I Get An Uploaded Song Removed From The iTunes Store That I Own?

I own a production company and I own a song that has been uploaded to iTunes Store for sale. I am having problems with the people that I have trusted in properly administering the publishing aspects of the song. How do i get the song removed from the iTunes Store so i can get it re-released under another publishing group who have shown they can properly administer the publishing/copyrighting/monetary aspects of my song?

ps I used to be able to create my own "Ringtones" via iTunes and songs I had in iTunes, but they took that away I guess.
No they didn't. You can still create your own ringtone using computer iTunes.
Here are the steps:
Select a title (.mp3 or .m4a) in your iTunes Library
2. Do File > Get Info on selected title (Windows do Edit > Get Info)
3. In the dialog choose Options tab
4. Set Start Time and End Time (no more than 35 secs otherwise won't work)
5. Close dialog.
6. Now control click the title (right click) and choose Create AAC Version
7. When it is done, drag the newly create title to the desktop.
8. Delete the newly create title in iTunes.
9. Rename the title on your desktop from ringtone.m4a to ringtone.m4r
10. Drag and drop it into iTunes
Now you have a ringtone.
Make sure it is selected in iTunes's Tones tab for syncing with your iPhone.

I selected "ACC Encoder-iTunes Plus" for import settings to import cd's. I assumed music purchased from the iTunes Store was mp3 format.Which is it?

I selected "AAC-iTunes Plus" as my import settings when importing CD's to my iTunes library. When I reviewed "get info" on purchased songs from iTunes, it says "Kind: Purchased AAC audio file". All of the purchased songs in my library say this. I assumed all purchased songs were "automatically" imported in mp3 format. Do the import settings I chose also apply to purchased music? Also, what can I do to have my library songs changed to mp3 format?

All songs sold in the iTunes Store are AAC/256.
The import setting affects ripping and conversion. It has nothing to do with purchases from the iTunes Store.
If you need MP3s, you can convert your AACs by using this procedure: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 But it would be easier to buy MP3s in the first place, for example from Amazon MP3.
MP3s can be used in iTunes or almost any other player, program or device.

Help! My Podcast was removed from the iTunes store!

I hadn't updated in some while, and have had to switch hosts.
When I attempt to pull it up in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=348596984
it says it's no longer available in the U.S. store.
I still have the same feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/meetingwithmasters
I just relaunched and loaded the first episode, and going to add the rest to the new host- I can't resubmit it to iTunes, as it says the feeds already been used.
What can I do?
Really appreciate your help and feedback!
Jon

The most likely reason for removal is that you feed was inaccessible for a period - was this the case? There's no other obvious reason such as unacceptable contents or copyright violation as far as I can see.
In order to re-submit it you will need to change the title slightly in order to avoid the error message you've seen.

I cannot synch movies to my iPad. This has worked for me in the past. I keep getting an error message that I am not connected to the internet. Yet, I certainly am. How else could I post this message. I can listen to music clips from the iTunes store, fetch my email, and read current newspapers on the internet. I restarted both my iMac and my Ipad and that didnot help.

I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems.

Buying music from the iTunes store with Apple TV.

Since changing to the new Apple TV I can't find a way to purchase Music directly from the iTunes store. I can rent and buy Movies, so IO'm sure there must be a way but I can't seem to work it out.

Have you tried restarting your iPhone?

My itunes downloads from the itunes store stop I cannot get them to resume

Twice now I have been unable to complete download installations of music purchased from the iTunes store.
I just received the preordered Beatles album, it is in my itunes downloads, indicates the download arrow moving at the top of the screen but nothing is happening. It has been 10 hours now and nothing is working. It shows up in albums, but is light gray and does not play, it shows up in downloads, has as circle next to it, again...nothing. I tried to troubleshoot following the support suggestion that instructs to shut down the computer. Itunes won't allow this to complete. I receive the messsage "THE ITUNES STORE IS DOWNLOADING - ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO QUIT"?
NOTHING IS WORKING...HELP....PLEASE?

The very first thing that I would try is to restart your iPad and try again. Hold down on the sleep/power button until the slider appears on the screen and slide to the right to power off. Hold down on the sleep/power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen to resetrt the iPad, after it starts up, try the download again.
Another thing to try is to reboot your router. I realize that your WiFi is working, but sometimes this can kick start problematic downloads. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. Try the download again after the router starts up.
Something else to try that involves a few more steps ..... Close the iTunes Store app. Sign out of your Apple ID. Reset the iPad and then try again.
Double tap the home button and swipe up on the iTunes Store thumbnail preview window to close the app. Tap the home button. Go to the home screen. Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store> Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen and then let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Sign in. Go back to the iTunes Store app and try to resume the download.

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files. I am in the process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them. They may let you redownload it at no cost.

If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again. Sorry.

How are you trying to delete the music direct on your iPhone?
You tried to remove the music from iTunes on your Mac how?
Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer?

i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.

Backup do not contaiuns music or apps, you will either need to resync them from your itunes computer, or you can go to purchase history in itunes or app store app and go to purchase history and redownload them.

I've been using Ringtone Maker to add ringtones to my iPhone. The app is now telling me my music I bought from the iTunes store is not exportable. I downloaded a new app called Ringer and it says my song "has no audio tracks". What am I doing wrong?

There is a few events where I could see this happening...
It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.

However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.
