ITunes purchase not showing in library

I puchased an almbum via the iTuens store last night and I have the files. The album shows in "recently added", but does not show in the library itself. Anyone have this problem?
Thanks!

Several posts a day about this. A small percentage given the millions of iTune users but still seems to be a real issue. Complain to Apple via feedback.
iTunes application feedback - http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
What happens if in the Get Info window you add the lettter (any letter actually) "X" to the end of the artist name, then remove it?
Delete the files from iTunes but do not let iTunes move them to the trash. Now go to where they are located in Finder and add them again. Does that work?

ITunes purchases not showing up on new computer

I recently switched to a new computer but none of my iTunes purchases are showing up in iTunes on my new computer. I thought I'd backed up everything but I guess it didn't work so now does that mean I have to repurchase all of my songs that are purchased through iTunes?
Thank you

2013 iTunes purchases not showing up in iCloud

I've been browsing through discussions for days on iCloud issues, but I haven't come across one quite like mine.
In iTunes, I have an extensive library of Music and Movies purchased through the iTunes store, all purchased under the same Apple ID. I've double checked this, as you can "Get info" on any file in the library, and it will confirm the date of purchase as well as the Apple ID used. Also, I've had the same Apple ID since I got my first iPod in 2004, it's never changed.
I've recently noticed that in iCloud, I cannot view anything that was purchased in 2013. The last file that appears was purchased Dec 30, 2012, and there a quite a few files purchased after that which are not showing up. They appear fine in my iTunes library, they play fine on my PC, but when I try to access them through my iPhone or my Apple TV, they do not appear. I've double checked Hidden Purchased; I've made sure "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" is selected. I've restarted iTunes, my PC, and my iOS devices a dozen times, but I cannot get these files to show up in iCloud. And I will repeat that I've verified that they were purchased under the same Apple ID. (I don't have another Apple ID to sign into, and I've been using the same password since 2011).
The only difference I can find between the files showing up, and the files not showing up, is that the ones at show up all have a purchase date before January of 2013, and the ones that don't show up all have a purchase date of January 2013 or later. My only hypothesis is that recently a lot of Digital Copy carriers which offer both iTunes Digital Copy and Ultraviolet have made customers sign into their own accounts before entering the redemption code into iTunes. Are these distribution companies somehow stealing the streaming rights from Apple by doing this? I don't have any evidence to support this, it's simply my only thought.
Does anyone else have the same 2013 purchases issue?

Just thought I'd mention that since 2014, everything I download has been working fine. I've purchased two iTunes digital copies this year sofar, both of which appear in my iTunes Library, in iCloud, on my AppleTV, in my list of Purchases, and on my iPhone. Yet... I still cannot access anything purchased in 2013 except on my PC. And I'm using the same account I've been using all along.
I find this to be very strange, but maybe it's just me.

ITunes purchases not showing in iTunes and not transferring to iPod shuffle

I Have been using ipod shuffles for several years as they are small and convenient for running. I have purchased 175 songs on iTunes and been forced to purchase FIVE iPod shuffle devices because the battery life in all five devices degrades after approximately 40 re-charges to the point that I only get 15 minutes battery time after a full charge. This is occurring on every iPod shuffle I have bought inclusing the latest one which is only two months old. A couple of weeks ago, I purchased several applications for my iPad and several new songs. I receive emails after each purchase. However, when I looked at my iTunes account, it showed all the items as a single item purchase and the songs were not even showing up as purchased or in my play list. This tells me that someone at Apple accounting is manually adjusting purchases and not itemizing them and the songs were not even given to me. I had to reinstall my entire iTunes program and they had to reinsert the new songs into my purchased playlist. That is why I couldn't transfer my songs onto my iPod shuffle. Now, with the latest IOS 8.3 update, I am getting all sorts of service problems like it says each time I turn on my laptop that I have inserted a CD or DVD, select the times I want to burn. It was never doing that before. It is also giving me all these warnings too:
BookmarkDAV_client.exe - entry point not found
The procedure entry point objc_exception_try_enter could not be located in e dynamic link library objc.dll.
icloudServices.exe entry point not found
The procedure entry point objc_exception_try_enter could not be located in e dynamic link library objc.dll
Apple photo streams.exe entry point not found, etc,
I purchased four new iTunes songs yesterday and only one of them transferred into my iPod shuffle. I am so tired and frustrated with the endless defects in Apple Products, that soon I am just going to say ENOUGH AND COMPLETELY STOP USING ALL APPLE PRODUCTS.

The "Purchased" playlist you see on the right can be a little misleading. It's not mean to show all of the purchases you've ever made. To download (or just see) what a particular has previously purchased used this resource. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

Apps associated with itunes accoutn not showing in library

The apps I have previously downloaded are not showing up in my apps section of my library. I've synced, backed up, transfered purchases and it never shows up. I can see the apps in the purchase section of the itunes store but they do not show up in my library.
In addition how to i delete/disassociate apps from my itunes account. I know previously you could do it by right clicking and selecting delete in the library but am unsure if that is still possible since the update to itunes.
Not sure if it matters but i have windows 8.1

HT204053 iCloud downloaded purchases not showing in library

Hi, despite my new iPhone 5 downloading previously purchased music from iCloud, my music library remains empty? Why won't the music show up?

Are you referring to purchases on your iPhone not showing in your iTunes library on your computer?
Make sure your computer is authorized and you are signed in to iTunes with the Apple ID the purchases were made with.
Open iTunes on your computer > iTunes Store > Purchased (in Quick links section on the right)
Download all your music by selecting the Music tab > All Songs > Click download all on bottom right.
Now you can enable automatic dowloads so future purchases download automatically:
Open itunes on your computer > Preferences > iTunes Store > enable automatic downloads

ITunes purchases not showing up as purchases

I purchased the full season of a TV show (that was already complete) back in January of 2012. It is currently only showing up as a partial seaon in my Purchased section and is telling me I'm requiring me to rebuy episodes 7-12. All episodes are still availible in the itunes store. I have those episodes backed up, but when I try to play them, I get a message that they are not compatible. I have my email receipt. Is there any way to get them back without shelling out more money?

Previous Store purchases not showing in library

So This might have been answered previously, or might be a stupid question. But I can't find the answers I seek.
I've got quite a few TV Shows, Movies, Music Albums etc. That I've bought off Itunes.
I can see them if I go to my iTunes store>Purchased list. I can't see them in my library.
Please note, if I download these TV Shows, movies, etc. They will show up in the library.
Now my question is.. Why do I have to download these from the 'purchased' page from the iTunes store, where previously this was not required.
All content. Downloaded, or not. Would show up in my library and I was just able to stream it if I could.
I would prefer to stream the content if I could, and I would like to be able to view it all in the library without much trouble.
As I said before, initially, everything would be displayed in the library..
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Either they never downloaded properly...or something very strange is going on with your computer. First, check to make sure all of your purchases have been downloaded. To do this, when you're in iTunes go to the top toolbar and click on "Store" and then from this menu pick "check for purchases"/"check for available downloads" (option depends upon the version of iTunes you have installed). If you get a message telling you all of your purchases have been downloaded...then you need to contact the iTunes store and explain your problem.

HT4527 I followed all these steps and iTunes is not showing my library help!

I followed all the steps to transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my laptop. I then installed iTunes to new laptop and copied iTunes folder to "my music " on new laptop. I then opened the new iTunes but the library is not there. Please help!

Perhaps you need to revist your transfer process...
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Have downloaded my library from a portable hard drive to itunes but not showing in library on home site please help windows 8

trying to download music from portable harddrive and wont go to I tunes library saving as I tunes link. working on windows 8..... Please help

I'm not sure if iTunes will like to run those files if they're on an external drive. Honestly I've never tried. Have you tried dragging a few songs, maybe an album, into your 'music' part of your drive, then try to import them into iTunes?
I moved computers a couple of months ago and that's waht I did, saved my music to a portable drive, then dragged it back onto my C drive and into the music folder, then imported it into iTunes.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

You would need to make sure you're accessing the Computers icon. If you are under the Music icon, that will be accessing the cloud and only show iTunes purchases (unless you subscribe to iTunes Match)

HT1304 I have an iphone5 and i did the upgrade. Now all of the music videos that I have purchased on itunes do not show up when the phone is held horizontally. It is just a picture of album covers. Any thoughts?
