Lost Purchased Songs... NEED HELP!! A.S.A.P

So yesterday i bought 7 songs from iTunes and today i wanted to sync those songs onto my iPod. The problem is i can't find the songs anywhere in my library. Can anyone help me find them?

When you connect your ipod, make sure that your box to "manually manage music" is not checked under the summary tab window that opens. And make sure the songs have a check mark next to them, otherwise they won't transfer over.

    Connect the iPad to your iTunes library and choose File -> Transfer Purchases.  See this article for more information.

  • Lost purchased songs, help!

    I need help trying to retrieve my songs (about 10) that I purchased through iTunes. I checked in the drive that it is set to go in as well as my entire computer, and all are gone. I checked in my iTunes account under 'Previously Purchased' and they show there with the dates and everything. How can I get them back, or are they gone for ever?? Also, I think this happened after I had selected to sync my music, did that delete them?? Please help. I would like to have the songs I paid for come back.

    You can use Explorer to search your computer for missing songs.
    On the Start menu, click "Search".
    Select "All Files and folders".
    In the "All or part of the file name" field, type the song name and then click "Search".
    If you see the file you are looking for in the Search Results window, you can add it back into your iTunes library.
    See: How to add songs from your hard drive to iTunes.
    If you've done all this and they are gone, are they still on your iPod?
    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

  • Lost 6k songs.. help...

    My computer had to be reformatted, and although the tech said he made back up, he didn't. I lost 6k songs on my computer. I still have them on my ipod. Is there a way to get the songs from my ipod back onto my computer?
    Thanks for any help.

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions

    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using a lot of the utilities your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Ios update lost purchased songs on ipad

    I lost purchased itunes songs on my ipad after last ios update.

    Sync them from a computer, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

  • Upgrade iTunes, lost purchased songs

    Recently, I upgraded iTunes (10.1.1.4). The first sync after upgrading, I was prompted to replace the library(?) on the phone. The old library(?) was backed up before the upgraded library was installed. But now, all my purchased songs are gone. I've searched my computer, but no luck. I've never lost files on my computer.
    -Could they be hidden?

    Possibly, but an itunes update has never deleted my music or purchases, and it's not supposed to.
    They might also be in the itunes library, but just not listed in the "Purchased" playlists.
    Try this, get the copy of your itunes database file from before the upgrade. iTunes puts it in a folder named Previous iTunes Libraries. Follow these steps but in #7, copy & paste that file instead of dragging it.

  • Canceled AOL - lost purchased songs

    I used my aol account credentials when I first started purchasing songs through the iTunes store. Eventually canceled the AOL account and established a new iTunes account. The songs I purchased through AOL are no longer accessible to me on my PC! Not authorized. My old AOL credentials no longer work because the AOL account does not exist. How can I gain access to the songs I paid for?

    Connect the iPad to your iTunes library and choose File -> Transfer Purchases.  See this article for more information.

  • Trouble with songs. need help please!

    alright, so here's my problem.
    last week i tried to put some songs from a cd on my ipod (video 30g). when they were in my library they worked fine but now on my ipod they are not working. if i click on them nothing is happening.
    i tried to delete them from my ipod but everytime i select them and hit delete, my itunes (latest version) freeze. i did erase them once before it froze but when i looked on my ipod they were still there. also, everytime i tried to put some new songs (not from the same cd) on my ipod, they go fine in my library but when i transfer them, it says synchronizing but does nothing.
    i don't know what to do and i really hope i don't have to restore and lose everything cause i lost everything last week as my hard drive died (i don't know if it can be related tho)
    help is needed!!!
    p.s. sorry for my english :S

    thank you but i did tried the basics. after posting my question here i tried a couple of thing and realized that all i could do was a restore. so i tried a restore and when i try it, my itunes doesnt do a thing and stop working. also, the weird thing is, when i look in my cache files for the ipod, no songs is in the folders where they are supposed to be, and when i try to play some songs it just show all the information but skip the songs quickly. so it seems like the information and everythng is still in the ipod but there's no songs in it anymore. so the only thing i'm looking for is for a way to restore the ipod to its original settings without using itunes...

  • Locating lost original files, I lost purchased songs

    Locating lost original files. I can no longer listen to several songs I purchased. I get a message that the "original file cannot be located." What to do?
    Thank you,
    Hunter

    If the upgrade to Vista somehow erased the files, you'll need to restore them from your backup or, if a feature of the country you're in, download the content again from the iTunes Store. See:

    Note that movies can be re-downloaded only in the US as of right now, and then not all movie studios have granted that license.
    Regards.

  • Itunes won't play music - exclamation points by all songs - need help!!

    I have been on this board several times and still can't locate the answer to allow me to play my music in Itunes. Here is my situation. If you can help, I would appreciate it.
    I have had my Itunes library stored on my external hard drive. I hadn't accessed Itunes in a while and when I did, my music is no longer being recognized by the program. All I get is the exclamation point next to each song and when I click on the song I am asked to relocate the song itself. Since getting the exclamation point no matter what I do short of relocating every song individually (over 4000 songs), I decided to call "apple cares". I had no success with them as they couldn't help.
    I have now unistalled/reinstalled my Itunes twice, I have redirected my preferences to my external drive and consolidated my library several times, I have tried to use my older less updated library on my regular hard drive only to have the same exclamation points appear.
    I am at a loss as to what I need to do. I really don't want to lose my music - imported from cds or purchased - nor do I want to spend the rest of 2007 relocating each and every song.
    If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate help. You can email me directly at [email protected]
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Debra

    Thanks for replying, Please read our Operating System details before taking a guess about what 'could' be the problem...
    I think I figured it out anyway, Windows Media Player might be adding extra information that iTunes does not like, either Windows Media Player and/or iTunes 7.7.1 don't conform to ID3 v2.4 standards...
    Please fix your software, Apple. I know how you love to be unique and mock PC users with your one-sided advertisements but at least conform to the ID3 standards.

  • Lost purchased songs after sync.

    I just synced my ipod touch to iTunes on my computer to update my playlists and my library. I haven't been on iTunes on my computer for almost a year, due to before my computer has had constant problems after installing iTunes, and I would then have to uninstall the program. Recently I've wanted to update my playlists on my iPod and update my library, so I downloaded iTunes, signed in, authorized the computer, and synced like I did before, which was awhile ago. My iPods battery was low when I first synced, so I left it hooked up to my computer and went to do other things while it charged. Now I'm back, and my iPod is a complete disaster. *_Now I cannot find about 100 songs that were on my iPod before I even hooked it up to the computer in my iTunes library, on my computer, or even on my iPod, along with random songs' cover art now messed up!_* I've been looking through all of Apple's support solutions and have not found anything that could help me. The songs that are missing I've purchased within the past 2 months. *_If it helps, 6 or 7 songs that I've purchased in the last week though are still on my iPod and in my iTunes library, with their cover art also messed up._* I don't really understand how my iPod could have everything fine before syncing, then have around 100$ at the least of songs completely missing and nowhere to be found, along with the cover art messed up! Please if anybody can help me I would greatly appreciate. Thank you.

    When you sync your iPod for the first time (at least with a new iTunes on the computer, you should stick around and customize your ipod options. Does the songs you purshed show up in iTunes. To fix the album artwork problem see if the songs with the bad album artwork has the right album name. If so goto the menu bar: store>get album artwork.What does it look like? Also if the iPod artwork is messed up after that just reset after you sync.

  • Lost purchased songs

    Today when I was syncing my iPod and downloading the new software on my iPod touch 2nd generation. I looked at my music on it, I had lost all of the music that I had bought on my iPod. What do I do to get it back. It was a lot and I want those songs back

    Ok, so to be clear you have purchased some number of songs from the iTunes Store to your Touch and this was the first time you connected to the computer to sync since you purchased them. In iTunes were you logged into the same iTunes account that you used to purchase the songs on your iPod Touch. If not, this is why you're songs are gone.
    The police of the iTunes Store is music can only be downloaded once and then it is your responsibility to back them up. You can email the iTunes Store, tell them what happened, and ask to download the songs again. Some say they will allow you to do so. Once. So back them up this time and be careful when syncing.
