Lost music purchased on iTouch

One feature I love about my iTouch is that I can purchase music straight off of my iTouch; however, when I do connect it to a computer it tends to disappear. I have called and was told that the music goes into my library, but I can't find it there. I can find the proof of purchase, but I can't find the songs in my library. I have iTunes on my home and work computers.
What am I doing wrong? Where could my music be? Or should I just purchase music from my computer and know it goes in that library?

Yeah, this is a common issue, unfortunately.
What you can do, to try to stop it, is, as soon as you plug your iPod into your computer and it is recognized, right click (or ctrl-click on Mac) on the device name in iTunes and select "Transfer Purchases." This will force any purchased content that is on the iPod, but not in iTunes, down to your hard drive. Since I started doing this (6 months ago), I haven't lost anything.
As the other poster said, if you speak to Apple, they should allow you to redownload the songs for free. If they didn't offer that, I would give them another call.
Hopefully the "transfer purchases" thing will help you stop this in the future. And maybe eventually they will fix it.

Lost music purchases, through iTouch

Hey all.
Have a slight problem with tracking down my music purchases on my iTouch.
I downloaded a full album, by Adema, listened to it happily this morning.
Only now I've realised as I've gone to put it back on, I only have three songs, of the album, left on my iTouch.
Not quite sure why this has happened, checked my purchase history to clarify I wasn't going insane and yep it clearly states I've purchased and downloaded the entire album.
Had a little look about, but couldn't find anything to help resolve this problem, so if anyone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction of be able to resolve this I'd be very greatful.
Thanks all.
P.S Bare in mind I downloaded these straight through the iTouch, so I have no copy of them on my iTunes, that is on my laptop.

Do you have the iPod set to automatically Sync?
If you do then the music should have been copied back to iTunes when you connected the iPod.
Note that tracks are removed from the Store Purchased Playlist on the iPod when they are synced to iTunes. if you want them on the iPod then you need to make sure they are included in the sync settings you have set up for the iPod.
Check on iTunes under the Album name rather than the Artist name as well sometimes there can be different Artists on the same album so they do not appear together on the iPod in the Artist area.

Lost music on my itouch!

I was syncing my touch and all the music vanished! The bad part is I'm unable to reload any music from my library. Videos and apps are fine.
Any ideas?

Ok so a few things...
First, do you back up your data? If not, look at this instance as a little example of why you should start.
Next, iTunes creates a back up of all your data on your iPod when you plug it in to sync. You can restore from there. Im not sure if you can restore music...read this article and then let us know.

Can anyone help. I just bought an album from itunes and now when i click on the music icon the screen just goes black, still with the time in the corner.

Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
The ipod will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase teh content from the ipod.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Or you can use third-party software like Phone to PC to transfer your music.

I can't play music on my iPad, every time I click the music icon, the screen goes blank and goes back to my home screen...how can I fix this?

I cant play music on my iPad? The music icon does not work...

Quit the music app completely and try it again. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Try the app again.
Or ....
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

New iTouch software 1.1.3 but no new icons on my screen

I've spent 20.00 on the upgrade and I have no new icons on the screen and in setting I dont see mail, notes, weather or any of the apps I see on the iTouch website ... What am I missing to get these new items to work on my iTouch?

Update:
After syncing a few times with no update, I disconnected the iPod from the computer. After a few minutes, the 1.1.3 software dialog popped up. I then installed the 1.1.3 software, the new icons appeared and are now working.
The confusing thing about this whole episode was that initially, it appeared that the 1.1.3 software was installed when it was not. Not a good experience.

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

I have lost my Phone icon from my screen. How do I get it back on my main screen?

Default apps cannot be deleted. Search all home screens and all folders.
If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

Using my ipad2 the music icon is returning to the home screen when I touch it?

WHen I open the music icon it returns to the home page after about half a second.

Try closing the Music app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Music app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Music app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

When I click on the music icon, the orange one , all I get is a black screen , please help

When I click on the music icon , all I see is a black screen , it was working perfectly before and I haven't done anything different that I know of ?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
