Lost iTunes purchased music after latest IOS upgrade

After the automatic IOS upgrade for the Apple Watch my iTunes account lost several purchased albums. I have tried to re-download the purchased music but not successfully, I'm only able to download four of the songs and they are still not showing up in my iTunes library.

For info these are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple nor iTunes Support.
If they don't show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app on your iPhone and iPad then check to see if they are hidden : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.
If you've moved countries since buying them, or if the rights-holder has removed them from the store, then you won't be able to redownload them. Also if the rights-holder has removed an album and replaced it with a different version then it be treated as a different album/purchase.

Device not detected in iTunes

Unable to listen to iTunes purchased music after swaping shell.

My Dell D600 computer broke down. No big surprise coming from that model. I had the shell swapped and kept the same hard drive, but can no longer listen to the songs I purchased from iTunes. This even includes new downloads since the swap. All of the music I uploaded from CDs works just fine.
I receive the following to error messages:
1. This computer is not authorized to play "Song Name". Would you like to authorize it? (I enter my password and click "Authorize">)
iTunes accesses Music Store
2. Then I receive "We could not complete your Music Store request. An unknown error occurred (-208).
This has happened every time since I have swapped my shell. Each time I have been online (I even downloaded new music one time from iTunes) and have tried from multiple locations - office, wireless, home. I cannot listen to any iTunes purchased music. Any ideas other than going to Best Buy for CDs??? Thanks!

Spyder 282:
If you are running a version of iTunes older than iTunes 6.0.4, the first thing to do is update to 6.0.4. Choose About iTunes from the Help menu in iTunes. If you are already at 6.0.4, or if updating does not help, the next thing to try is to deauthorize your computer for the iTMS account using the Deauthorize Computer option in the Help menu. Then play of the iTMS songs and re-enter your authorization info.

Lost Itunes Purchased music ... Can you download old purchased songs?

I just lost my entire music catalog and am trying to download my purchases that I have made with the iTunes music store. Anyone have any idea how to do this or if theres some kind of support number to call. I know you can view your purchase history on iTunes but how do you download them again if youve already paid

Hello:
You may not want to "hold your breath", but my music library was restored free of charge by apple in less than 12 hours!
Just send them an email or contact customer support by phone (they're very helpful).
Do be sure to back up your files because they tell me they can only do this once.
Also visit an Apple store if you can, they have "genius bars" in them which feature Apple employees that will provide free technical support and answer your questions!!
See if you can get that kind of support the next time you purchase a PC from Frys...

Can't play itunes purchased music after back-up restore

I recently had to restore my home folder from a back-up, because my drive failed. I authorised the computer without problem, but when I try to play the purchased music nothing happens and I mean nothing. No error message, no spinning wheel. Just nothing. When I play it through a play list it just skips to the next song. Same thing on my iPod. Now I should mention, cause I think it's important, that this is happenining with only 1 of my purchased songs. The rest are working. Normally I would just replace the defective file. Obviously this wouldn't work in this case.
So how do I go about fixing this problem or getting the file replaced?
Thanks,

Please help... I am having the same problem. I purchased 250 songs on iTunes and now can not play at least half the songs because my computer (the same one I downloaded the songs to and the only one I have owned) is not authorized. When I try to authorize the songs - nohing happens. Additionally, some other person with a similiar email account name had downloaded iTunes on to his computer, but my credit card was charged for his songs. Fortunately, he called me and reimbursed me for the songs (very nice guy).
Does iTunes have a support person we can talk to? If not this is crazy. It is tough to be a loyal customer with things like this happening. I would appreciate any thoughts on how I can remedy this situation. Thanks in advance.

Reload itunes purchased music after PC stolen

How do I reload all my purchased music? My computer was stolen and am trying to reload all my purchases. Can get my purchase history but can't seem to find a way to get them all back

I take it there's no backup? If you have it on an ipod, you can at least get it off of that. Otherwise you are going to have to buy it all again.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I lost my purchased ringtones after the latest update.

I lost my purchased ringtones after the latest update. Not super happy!!! How do I get them back without buying them AGAIN?

Hello dorothea31,
Not sure what happened to your purchased ringtones, but you can download them again.
See this for details. It says iOS 8.1.1 but the download section still applies.
Restore missing tones on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8.1.1 - Apple Support

Can't activate after latest iPad upgrade. Advises me to go to iTunes but it won't get off the error screen.

Can't activate after latest iPad upgrade. Error message advises me to go to iTunes but it won't get off the error screen.

I am the original owner of an ipad and it woke it yesterday requiring me to activate it using the original apple id used to set it up.
It will not accept my apple id and password.
It does not show up in my icloud under devices.
I have tried hard restart (home + power) and itunes recovery.
I am out of ideas and have not found anything for original owners (as opposed to someone who bought it from someone else). I did see some posts from last year where a few people had the same problem and took it back to apple and got a refurbished unit given to them since customer service and engineering couldn't fix it. I was wondering if this was related to the recent ios8 upgrade. Anybody else have ideas or same problem before I hike down to the apple store for mercy?

Updated i tunes, and now have lost soem purchased music

Hi,
I have just updated i tunes and have lost some purchased music. If i go into Itunes store and find one of the missing songs it states "Purchased", there is no option to download again. I can't even buy it again as it states "Purchased".
I have tried following the tutorial for lost music, and had no joy.
In the prior version of itunes the missing songs were in my music library.
I have tried everything i know, this is my final option, since i have tried to find a number to call to speak to a real person but to no avail. if no one can help get teh musci back can they provide a number for me to speak to someone at Apple?
Thanks

All you can get back is your iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You will have to rerip the CDs unless you can find a copy.
When you restore or update an iPod, if synced media is not in the iTunes library it will not be on the iPod after the restore/update since the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

ITunes wiped all but iTunes purchased music from my iPad mini and my iPod nano instead of transferring the cd uploads into iTunes. Is there any way of recovering my music. Very disappointed!

Initially things worked fine. I was very pleased. I had my music library in itunes, on my Ipod nano, and a thumbdrive to back up most of my music.
When I tried to sync the music from itunes onto my new ipad mini last week it deleted the albums in itunes leaving me with only purchased itunes items in the account, On the new Ipad mini CD's from my collection could not be played but they were in fact listed. My new mac will not read the music files I backed up onto a thumb drive or show the uploaded CD music collection. Additionally when I logged into itunes with out any devices connected from my PC the itunes account was completely up to date with my CD's and purchase items in Itunes. As soon as I tried to sync it with my Ipad mini that virtual access to the collection was wiped out leaving only purchased items.
By trying to upload CD music from my Ipod nano into Itunes (originally uploaded into itunes from CD's and synced to the ipod nano in the first place, taking more than a weeks time), I am prompted to reset the entire ipod nano to factory settings (it gives no other option). I was following the instructions emailed to me from the applecare team. This was my only recourse for recovery of the lost music files, the only device left that had my album collection aside from the owned CD's. Now the ipod nano is being wiped clean and left with only the itunes purchased music ( same thing that happened with the itunes account and now the Ipad). When I disconnect the ipod nano to see if there are any albums still left on the device, it gives me an error that it was improperly disconnected.
I just wanted to add the music from itunes to my new mac and the new ipad mini. Instead I have lost all of my uploaded CD's and now have only purchased items in itunes, the new ipad mini, the new mac, and the ipod nano. I have to re-upload my entire music library into itunes/icloud from CD's again and hopefully be able to then sync it with my new devices.
However it may be better to buy the itunes purchased music on CD's from a store, Cut my losses while I can and never buy anything from apple or itunes again. Atleast I will not have my entire music collection wiped out for moving it between my own devices. Itunes match doesn't do **** either. I have wasted alot of hard earned cash on devices products and itunes purchases by converting to apple products and services.
What a big mistake.
Very dissapointed with the interface. Very Very Dissapointed!

Had the same issue when I changed computers. I backed up my I-tunes files, including CDs, but I-Tunes will not recognize anything but Apple purchases now. There were 300+ CDs in that original catalog.

Best backup of iTunes purchased music: not cd, or dvd

let's say you have 30 gigs of iTunes purchased music. what's the best backup if you can't choose cd or dvd? i'd figure another iPod would be the answer. any opinions on the matter much appreciated.

If you don't want CD or DVD then another hard drive is the best bet. Get on of the external drives commonly available. Preferably get a drive with a fast connection that you can use like eSATA, Firewire, or USB2. After that simply copy from your current location to the external. Another option would be to use backup software so you only have to backup changed files.

I can't download itunes purchased music from my library to my 4th generation nano ipod.

I can't download my itunes purchased music from my library to my 4th generation nano ipod.

An iPod Touch is not a backup/storage device. You should have been maintaining a backup of your personal data on an external HDD using Time Machine or other backup software of your choice.
However, there are ways to "recover" the music:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
Once you have recovered the music I strongly suggest you purchase an external HDD and start using Time Machine to keep a backup of your personal data.

My iPad 2 lost all its music after normal sync How do i fix it?

my ipad 2 lost all its music after a normal sync. how do i fix it?

The first thing I'd do is check to be sure iTunes still has the music in it, assuming you bought the music through iTunes. If not, are you sure that the account you bought the music under on the iPad is the same account iTunes connects to the iTunes store with?

HT201272 I am trying to redownload purchased music after a hard drive dilemma. When I click purchased I get an error message. Any insight?

I am trying to redownload purchased music after a hard drive dilemma. When I click on the 'purchased' category in the iTunes store I get an error message. Any insight?

Does it include "unable to download "ITEM" at this time. Please try again"? I think there is an issue with redownloading your purchases using the "purchased list" option. I suggest you contact the support team for a history regrant (your purchases will be reposted to your account", which i think is a one time exception and would only include the items which are still available in the store.
