"music" is missing in automatic downloads

Under Settings-> Store -> Automatic Downloads, there are normally 3 items: Music, Apps, Books. When I went to turn "Music" on, it literally disappeared right before my eyes. Now there is only "apps" and "books".
Why did this disappear? What is this dependent on?

After downloading 5.0.1 on my Phone I lost my music! Syncing doesn't help.Store on the phone misses the automatic download for music! What is the solution?

After downloading 5.0.1 to my Phone, I lost my music on the
phone. Syncing on different ways didn't help. On the phone , in STORE, misses in Automatic downloads: Music!
Is that part of the problem? Or is 5.0.1.not corrt?

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

How do I stop automatic downloads?

Okay, I redeemed some codes that came with blurays for digital copies of movies. Thing is, I have a bandwidth cap and really don't want to download them. Plus, after all, I have a blu-ray.
I went into Preferences and clicked the Store tabbed and unchecked Music, Apps, Book, from Automatic Downloads. There doesn't seem to be a option for movies. I also have "Always check for avaliable downloads" unchecked.
Can someone please help me? This is getting very annoying. Especially when it's trying to download the HD copy & SD copy of the same movie.

You answered your own question. I do it so I will have a digital copy of it when I want it before a code expires. That doesn't mean I want to download it right that second, I just want iTunes to register it as a purchase so I can download it when I'd like.
What's even worse. What if you watch the digital copy of the movie and then want to delete it to make space on your Hard Drive? iTunes will insist on you downloading that it.

How to stop music automatically downloading?

Right, so I bought an iPad air for my daughter to use for school. I'm an experienced Mac user, but thus far have managed to avoid iOS 7 (or any version of OSX higher than 10.6) but with the iPad I don't get a say, unfortunately.
Anyway, after throwing up a few times and buying some extra dark shades, I managed to bring myself to using the iPad. I set up with my Apple ID, applied restrictions, downloaded a few apps and songs I'd bought for her on my iPhone and all seemed good. Then I shuffled songs in Music and found that it downloaded a song from my purchased list that I hadn't specifically installed. I've turned off any form of automatic syncing and definitely not subscribed to match. So I was rather surprised (and annoyed) - and now have a couple of questions...
1) Is there a way to turn this off? I want to control what is on this device, thank you very much...
2) Are content restrictions still applied? I can live with the Evita soundtrack, but really do not want to find "I wanna xxxx a dog in the xxx" by Blink182 going on there, amusing as the song might be to an adult.
Hopefully someone can shed some light, this kind of scenario is exactly why I'm still running earlier versions of OSX on my Macs...
Ta.

I Love your style And your way with words!
On her iPad go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Automatic Downloads> Turn off auto downloads for songs, apps and books, this way, whatever you download on your devices will not download to her iPad. Do the same thing on your iPhone, you can do likewise in iTunes on your Mac if you download content in there, but once you turn off auto downloads on her iPad, she will not get your stuff and you are controlling what she downloads, so her stuff will not end up on your devices.
On her iPad also so go to Settings>iTunes & App store>Show All>Music>Off and Videos>Off. You may have inadvertently downloaded one of your purchased songs by having this feature enabled. When this feature is turned on - all of your purchased music will appear in her Music App - with a cloud icon next to each song. If you tap on the cloud icon, you can download the song right in the music app and don't have to go to the purchased tab of iTunes. The same thing applies to purchased videos.
What happened really doesn't have anything to do with restrictions, so as long as you enabled restrictions properly, you should be OK.

Updated to latest I-Tunes. Since then whenever I import a new cd to the library it won't get album artwork.How do I get the artwork. My I-Tunes is set to automatically download missing album artwork but it doesn't work.

I'm having the same problem as the OP, I can't find that file "profiles.ini"
can't re-install firefox, deleted all files related to Mozilla and Firefox, still locked out by missing Firefox profile
I posted on my own problem recently w/ no response (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?a=1&asked_by=GPStyne&w=2),
so far all posts on this support page have been confusing and I've been unable to find any of the things they spoke of trying to change it.
at this point I'm begrudgingly running Safari hoping someone can help me fix this, can't believe i can't just delete all and reinstall like a normal program/app

One of the computers on my homesharing network is automatically downloading purchases even though settings are not checked for this to occur? What am I missing here? BTW only one of the three computers (pc) is doing this.

We have three computers (two pcs and one mac) on our home sharing network. When I buy a song on my pc it is automatically downloading it to my husband's pc - but not my daugher's mac. The settings on each library do not indicate any items should automatically download. What am I missing here? This is a relatively recent thing I just noticed. It was not always happening in this way. Help. Both pcs are on Windows 7. Thanks in advance for any help. My husband and I don't always like the same songs so I need help to get back to marital bliss....

I think I found the answer to my own problemin case anyone experienced the same thing. There is a separate spot in itunes under preferences to allow for automatic downloads from other devices. It seems unrelated to home sharing. I unchecked the boxes under the "store" section and that appears to have taken care of the issue.

ITunes 11.x does not automatically download purchased music

Hello to everyone,
after installing iTunes 11.x, the new purchased music (that I buy with my iPhone, iPod and iPad) is not automatically downloaded on my iMac even if I have the iTunes set for doing it (in the preferences). With the previous version of iTunes I did not have this problem.
Now, when I verify if there are new items to download, it says to me that there are no new elements to download, so I need to sync the iPhone/iPod or iPad manually to have them transfered to my iMac.
Does someone else have my same problem or could you help me in solving it?
Thanks.
Andrea

Hi, Fred.
Are you saying the songs are in you Library but not in the Purchased playlist?
In that case you can simply drag them from the main iTunes display into the playlist.

No automatic downloading of music in ireland?

I cant seem to find a toggle for automatic download of music even though it is adverised as such on the Apple Irish itunes page. Is this coming or not?

I have the exact same problem Under Settings - Store- There is no Option for Music or Books. Therefore icloud will not backup music which of course means it will not sync with my iPad. Is this just for Ireland? I was wondering the same thing and is false advertising on site if so. Load of nonsense if so. I also purchased more music to see is if it would appear on ipad but of course did not.

Can't remove Automaticly downloaded music

I just got an IPhone and stupidly selected to Automaticaly download purchased music to my IPhone (kids buys stuff I don't want and we share an Itunes account). I purchased a song and I used it to create a ringtone. Worked perfectly and I did it with several songs that I already had in my Itunes account. Now on my IPhone, the newly purchased song will only play for 30 seconds. It shows the full 4:00 length, but it starts at 15 seconds, and stops at 45 just like I setup when I created the ringtone. I have tried to remove it and start over but it's not working. I have deleted the ringtone in Itunes, removed my entire playlist, synced my IPhone. All my other music is gone, but not the recently purchased stuff. I think It's got something to do with it being automatically downloaded when purchased.
Is there some way to remove all the "Purchased Music"? I have gone to Store and turned off automatic downloads.
When I synce it to my IPOD, the song is fine. When I play it in ITunes, it is fine. Starts at the beginning, and plays until the end.

Any love here? Still having the same problem-can't sync new music added to my computer. I don't want to uncheck the manually manage music button because then the entire library will sync, and that will overload my phone.
Thanks

What's that message about not being able to do automatic downloads if I download purchased music from an old account?

I wanted to download music to my iPad from an old iTunes account so I logged of my current account and logged in with the old one. I went to the purchased section and hit download on a song and when I did, I received a warning that my iPad was linked to another account (my new account) and that if I downloaded the files I wouldn't be able to do automatic downloads for 90 days.
I don't quite understand what that is about.
Can anybody tell me what will actually happen if I DO download music from my old iTunes account and then switch back to my new account?
How else can I download all my old purchases without affecting my new account?
What does that warning actually mean?
I don't have a computer so that rules out uploading from a PC or Mac.
Thanks a lot!

Well I tried your suggestion in the Permissions screen for Components There isn't an Owner Tab. I made the suggested changes but I still got the error.

Thanks.

I have received notification that the "Complete My Album", Music Speaks by Candice Glover is now available to download. I have three devices that are all enabled to receive automatic downloads. My problem is the same on all three devices.
Only 0.05 minutes download on each song with the exception of the original song purchase: I Am Beautiful. What needs to be done to solve this problem?

It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Where are you located, I believe the automatic download of purchased music is not available everywhere.

When I try to select automatic downloads music, apps, books on my 3GS the selections revert back to off, what am I doing wrong?

Hi all, on my 3GS while in settings, then store, at automatic downloads for music, apps, and books I have selected on, then a couple of seconds later the selections go right back to off by themselves, what am I doing wrong here? Thanks...

Ok, hey folks I figured this out, I had recently changed my iTunes account password, but my iPhone had the old password set in it, once I entered the correct password into the iPhone I was able to change the selections in automatic downloads, i went over to my MacBook Pro and downloaded a free song and app as a test and both showed up right any on the iPhone,
hope this helps anyone with the same problem,
Steve...
