ITunes Purchased Playlist missing tunes

Hi,
The purchased playlist in Itunes is missing a few tunes. They are in my Library, just not in my purchased playlist. On the purchased menu on my Apple TV all of the items that I have purchsed are there. How can I get the purchased playlist in Itunes to be identical to this.
Thanking you in all in advance
Greg Simms

You can just drag it in there. In fact, you can drag anything in there. It's just a regular playlist and end users can change it anyway they want.

ITunes purchases Playlist missing

Hi, Bought a new MacBookPro after previous one was damaged. My list of purchases from itunes is missing despite authorising etc. All purchases are recorded on my Apple account but wont show on screen. Has anyone come across similar?

Got the same problem. iMac died (after less than 18 months!) and Apple replced logic board. Apple adviser told me that to recover all my itunes purchases all I had to do was log in to my itunes account and they would be pulled off their server. This hasn't happened.

"Purchased" playlist missing music

I accidentially deleted the purchased playlist.I purchased something and got the purchased playlist back except all the purchased music is missing from the playlist, is there a way to put all my purchased music back into the playlist?

Click on the *Date Added* column.
If 'Date Added' isn't showing, either right-click on the column headers bar and select it,
or
itunes menu > View > View Options and check the Date Added box.
If the little triangle is pointing down by the words date added, the most recent additions will be at the top. If the triangle is pointing up, oldest additions will be at the top.

Purchased playlist missing off iphone

After a wifi sync last week, my purchased playlist has disappeared from my iphone, but still present in itunes. I have searched for answers and still havent found a solution. I have tried creating a smart playlist and that hasnt worked. I have also tried to purchase songs on the iphone is hopes it would recreate the playlist, but still no purchased playlist has popped up. Does anyone know how to get my playlist back? Thanks!

- create a new playlist (eg purchased2) and copy ALL music from Purchased into the new Purchased2 playlist
- delete the original Purchased playlist
- download a free track from iTunes Store, iTunes will create a new playlist purchased
- copy and paste (ctrl v ctrl c way) the songs from purchased 2 to the newly created Purchased
- sync your iDevice and you should be sorted!
There must be an issue with the old smart playlist. Creating a fresh one and copying the music over seems to fix it?

Purchased Playlist missing purchases

Hi,
My wife's iPhone 5s started this, migrated to her 6 after she bought it. Also now my iPhone 5s does the same thing.
When my wife purchases a song from iTunes on her phone, does not matter if on WiFi or LTE, it is random if it shows up in the Purchased playlist. Sometimes it does, sometimes more often than not it does not appear. However if you look under Album or Artist, it downloaded. I realize Apple puts the song at the BOTTOM of the playlist when it should be at the TOP(Also it puts albums in reverse order, are you listening APPLE???).
It used to be when she bought a song or two, they downloaded to my phone as well as we share a single Apple ID for iTunes purchases. I have it set to auto download purchases for music, as does she on her phone if I should buy. That part works fine, just randomly it will not put it on the Purchased playlist. I have seen others complain of this same issue. Anyone else have a solution. Seemed to start with iOS 7.x

I also have the same thing happening to me now. What i did was..
1. I let the iTunes Match to be ON inside my iPhone.
2. I logged out from my iTunes account through Settings -> Store -> Click your own apple ID
3. I waited for a few seconds.
4. I logged back in into my iTunes account.
5. The purchased playlist is now there!
P/S : If you are having a problem with greyed out songs inside your iPhone, you could also use this method. It works for me and i i hope it do work on yours as well.
xoxo

What are these lists and another question re: iTunes "purchased" playlist.

Hello.
I purchased songs from iTunes tonight, and made a playlist called "purchased" to put them in, not realizing that iTunes was going to do that. I synced my iPod, then I noticed (on my iPod) that I now have 2 playlists called "purchased". One is the one I made, and the other is called "Purchased" (with a capital p) that iTunes made when it downloaded my selections. This iTunes-created playlist appears under the heading "STORE". Can I delete that without removing the songs from my library?
Also...
Under the heading "Playlists" the first two items are
"Music Videos" and "My Top Rated". Why are their icons different...are they not playlists? How do I put music in the "My Top Rated" list? (Right clicking in library and choosing "move to" doesn't show that "my top rated" list.)
Thanks,
Sue

"Top Rated" is a smart playlist and songs/videos, etc. will start appearing as your rate your songs. Pick a few songs in your library in iTunes that are your favorites, click on the rating column for that song and give it four or five stars, then go back and look at your Top Rated playlist.

ITunes smart playlists MISSING!!

This is so annoying!! My recetly added playlist (and also all other smart playlists) disappeared on both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S all of a sudden when I synchronized them.
I have tried unchecking the live update button of the playlist and then synchronizing my iPhone 4S again but it doesn't work. Could someone please please tell me how to fix it?
B.T.W. This seems a long lasting headache for many iTunes users, I hope Apple won't be so self-sufficient to lose insights about our concerns.

Doublechecking. Do you still get the issue if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25?
From the notes for the release:
Addresses a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive when syncing an iPad (1st generation) that contains an iBooks textbook
Fixes a problem where photos synced to a device may appear in an unexpected order
Resolves an issue where iTunes may unexpectedly delete playlists created on a device
Fixes issues where iTunes may unexpectedly delete apps on a device

Downloaded Latest iTunes version, Playlists missing

Sooo... I decided to go to iTunes.com and download the latest version. It told me there was an error loading my itunes library file. I went back to the new download file and tried again. Same error. So I manually did: FILE > ADD FOLDER TO LIBRARY, etc. Important to note is I have my song files/iTunes Library on an extenrnal harddrive... a K:/ drive.
The song files have returned but all of my playlists are gone. It wouldnt normally be a huge deal, but three of them were my iPad, my iPhone and my iPod... Pretty involved. Willing to do the work to recover from scratch... No luck in attempts to try an older version of iTunes, or to try to delete, repair or reinstall. Any advice? THANKS!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

2nd > I purchased 21 new tunes yesterday on the new computer> worked great> but when I made a disc to transfer the playlist. I get the music but no album info just 1,2,3,etc. So I have signup both computers to share thinking that would work. But no to that also.
Please advise.

Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to new computer.

My iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each one upon reinstalling the backup copy? Thank you for help

Almost my iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. (the last 2.5 weeks worth of added music has transferred post-upgrade, none of whcih was bought from iTunes)
I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each playlist upon reinstalling the backup copy? This would save a HUGE amount of time and efforts. Thank you for your help!

hi Limnos,
I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th. (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists) The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29. (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up.
Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
Thank you for your help!

Help: iTunes completely reset itself, eliminating half of my purchased playlist, deleting all my podcast files, etc. No idea why this happened and how can I fix it?

Hello.
I did not touch my computer the past week, I've only been messing with my laptop. I had my computer off a whole day. I turn it on, open iTunes, and everything is gone.
I system restore. Everything is gone. None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there. My iPod itself is fine. I restore back to current settings, still, everything gone.
I plug my iPod in. I don't think it took anything off my iPod, but even without syncing, it eliminated a ton of the songs on my iPod from my 'purchased' playlist. Now, these songs will not transfer back over to iTunes because iTunes is not recognizing them as official songs. Is there a link to download/redownload your past purchases again? I was trying to find that but had no luck. (Also my iTunes purchase history is incorrect and has at least 1 omitted song I paid for, but that is another story for another day). I want these songs to transfer to my library so I can put them on a future iPod I bought.
I do things the legal way, I do not illegally get any music. I've bought 800 to 1000 songs from iTunes over the year (now that is a lot of money). Now my iPod is listing it as only 600 and some. This is my second iPod and the second time I've had major issues with the iPod just going crazy on me. I won't stick with Apple if I get screwed out of songs I have paid for.
Anyways, from what I have described, does anyone know what is up? Directions on where to go to download all past purchases? Ideas?
The only potentially bad thing I've done with iTunes at all is I delay updating it as long as possible. I hadn't updated the most recent update for a few months now. Still, that is no reason for the system to go ape **** on me. I am fairly certain at this point that *all* my songs are still on my iPod, but as I said, if this one all of a sudden died or I wanted to get a new one, I'm looking at half my actually bought songs being non-transferrable.
Thanks for any response.

Is your laptop a different computer than your computer?
You have two computers?
iTunes is missing everything from which one/both?
I system restore. Everything is gone. None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there.
Do you mean you reinstalled the system from scratch?
Yes, that tends to delete everything.
Or you restored everything from a backup?
Directions on where to go to download all past purchases?
Selete Store on the left side of iTunes.
Make sure you are signed in.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick links to redownlaod your purchases.
Then make sure to regularly backup, backup, backup all your important data .

I have a new windows PC and when I registered my account with I Tunes only the recent music that I purchased off I Tunes was in my Library all the music that added to the library is missingÉ

I have a new PC running windows 8 and when I registered my new account with I Tunes only the recent music that I purchased off I Tunes populated in my music library. The other material that I imported into my library from CD is missing. I am missing several hundred recordings and want to know if it is possible to get them back without having to go back to my old PC and manually make out a missing catalogue of music and re-importing back into my new PCÉ

Your media is only where you put it.
Installing iTunes and signing into your iTunes account does not cause media to magically appear.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.
FYI, there is nothing to import and if you are smart and want to avoid duplicates you will NOT import anything.

I recently had my computer stolen and not my purchases from I tunes store were backed up. I've been told there is a way that I can re-download my missing tracks from the store without having to pay for them again. Is this true, if so, how do go about it.

Unfortunately, redownloading of past music purchases isa still in beta test and only available in the US right now.
It's due for everyone this fall. Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you can't wait, contact the iTunes Store Support Team at this link
If you get lucky, they may be able to authorize another download now.

Why are only 2 songs missing from my Purchased playlist?

here's another weird missing purchased song issue: in itunes on left side under store, there is the pre-set purchased playlist with the right click menu with the entry to check for available downloads - it is showing 90 songs. Same as on my iPhone's purchased playlist. Here is the problem - I created a new smart playlist per the previous discussions here and it is showing 92 songs - I went onto my account to check the itunes store and the 92 songs are there and the 92 songs are also downloaded to my itunes library on my PC. Not one of them is hidden - I have others hidden but not these 2. they are not in the cloud, they have been downloaded to both PC and phone and they will appear in other playlists and play fine. For some reason, the pre-set Purchased playlist under the store menu is not picking up that these 2 songs were purchased but my smart playlist is! Both are on the same account ID, one from 2013 and one from just last month! This is clearly an issue with certain flag not being set in a database somewhere, but why just these two? It is not affecting my ability to sync or play these songs since I have them in my new smart playlist - just an odd thing that makes me wonder why and if it can be corrected. ooops - this is PC iTunes not Mac - can't change it - sorry!

Hi Pugs lover,
If you are missing songs from an album but the iTunes Store is showing those tracks as Purchased, you may want to see if it will allow you to redownload them. You may find the following article helpful:
