My iTunes song purchased has disappeared

I just bought and downloaded a song from iTunes within the last two hours. The song downloaded and appeared in my library, plain as day. I exited the program.
I just now re-opened iTunes and the song purchase is gone. No one else has had access to my computer. I did not delete it from the library and it is not in the recycle bin. I checked for available downloads and there is nothing.
It has literally disappeared. How do I go about getting it back? I'd really like to know if this - a purchase disappearing - is something that has occurred with any of you. I've never had this happen in the years I've been purchasing music through iTunes.
Thanks.

Did you check the other pages of your screen? You can also use the search function by swiping the screen from the bottom down and if iTunes is not restricted, it will tell you the location on your phone. If you have set up restrictions, disable them in Settings/General/Restrictions. Apps that are restricted can't be found on any screen and stay hidden. You can't delete default apps.

    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!

  • My pc crashed and erased my itunes songs purchased from the itunes store. How do i get that content back without having to purchase them again?

    my pc crashed and erased my itunes songs purchased from the itunes store. How do i get that content back without having to purchase them again?

    I have somewhat of a similar problem. After iTunes last update, I am missing some of my purchased files of music,ringtones, and TV shows. Possibly movies, but just thought of that and did not look yet. Seems everytime there is an iTunes update, something happens, but usually an easy fix by just deleting music files from CD's that I loaded onto iTunes and no longer recognized after an update and reload from the hard drive. This time I do not have a current back up of all the music, ringtones, and tv shows I have purchased.
    So I am also wondering how can I redownload purchases without being charged when there is no file left on the hard drive. It just stays listed in iTunes though.

    hello Listener369, please try this: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion''' - right-click and reset that entry to the default value and restart firefox afterwards for it to take effect.

  • ITunes song purchases will not transfer to my new computer

    31 of my iTunes song purchases have been refused transfer privileges over to my new MacMini. Doesn't matter if I use my backup or transfer directly from my other computer (iMac running Tiger). The MacMini is authorized and all of my other purchases transferred with no difficulty. The message is 'this computer is not authorized for these, etc, etc. I used IMToo software to copy playlists from my iPhone to the MacMini but those 31 songs would not transfer--same message. Help is appreciated from polite forum users. Many thanks.

    Continuing dilemma...I have discovered that all songs disallowed on my current computer were purchased with 2 old iTunes accounts I no longer use. They are (mylogon)@aol.com and (mylogon)@comcast.net. These songs had all been purchased prior to my previous new computer purchase (a powermac) and there was no issue transferring them over. The problem seems to have occurred because of the move from OS 4x to OS 6x--that is, I had been using Tiger, then jumped up to Snow Leopard. Perhaps my iTunes Library was apparently not as updated as I had thought. I was able to load songs over from both my iPhone and iPod and I believe I have recovered all but 4. The song files are in my system but iTunes won't permit me to play them without logging into the old accounts--which I can't do any which way the message goes. Help? Comments?

  • Video purchase has disappeared from my iTunes library and from the store.

    I have recently discovered that a video which I had purchased from the iTunes store about 2 years ago (Leonard Cohen's "Closing Time") has disappeared from my iTunes library. I did not delete it, and I have not had any computer issues which required backup. The purchase is still listed in my iTunes account, but other than that it is as if the whole download never happened. It appears that the store no longer sells the video, and when I "reported" the problem on the account page it was if I was talking to myself ! To keep things simple I took the position that I wanted to repurchase the video, but the Apple representative offered me a credit. When I refused that as a solution, saying I wanted him to tell me how I could repurchase the specific video, one which I owned, he backed off and ultimately said that he was going to submit the matter for investigation, and that I should get back in touch with Apple after a few weeks. (This has brought all my conspiracy thinking tendencies to the surface !) Has anyone else had a similiar experience with a purchased item disappearing for no apparent reason ?

    Today i went to add a bunch of movies to my wife's iPad. I realized she had not seen The Book of Eli so i went to add it but it was missing. Same story as above. I have not moved the file, or deleted it. It is just missing from my USB HDD where all my movies are. iTunes store no longer sales the movie.
    I can see them stop selling movies... but how did it just get removed from my USB HDD????

  • My Purchased has disappeared

    Hi
    New to the discussions.
    I purchased new songs from the Music store, downloaded and now my purchased file has disappeared from my ipod.
    This is the second time it's happened. The first time, I reset my software but the purchased file was still not available. I don't know what I did that time but it eventually showed up after I kept trying to drag the file to the ipod.
    Other downloaded music (not from ITunes) is still on the ipod.
    Any advice would be great.
    Thank you

    Hi
    Figured it out. When I bought the music from ITunes Store, the store would sometimes request my id in order to authorize the transfer.
    My Ipod did not recognize any of the Puchased songs as being authorized to play so it removed the file
    Went to my Purchased file in the Library and re-authorized all of the songs. It now works like a gem.
    Thanks for your help

  • How can I authorize itunes songs purchased with ID that no longer exists?

    I bought an Macbook Pro and am transferring all the songs I bought from
    my old laptop to the Macbook. Some of the songs were purchased from
    itunes using two different apple IDs that don't exist anymore. I tried to
    authorize the Macbook to play these songs using the old ID and password but it
    doesn't work (I'm pretty certain I have the correct passwords but it is possible they are wrong). Please don't tell me I can't listen to these songs
    anymore. Is there anything I can do?
    Joseph

    I have exactly the same problem! When I try to play a song purchased under an old Apple ID (before I moved to Japan), I get: "This computer is not authorized to play "(song title)". Would you like to authorize it? To play this song you must authorize this computer to play songs purchased using the account "(my OLD Apple ID)". You may authorize up to 5 computers for each account."
    I tried to authorize the song using my OLD Apple ID and password, but it didn't work because that Apple ID no longer exists. The weird thing is that after trying to authorize a song with my NEW Apple ID, the computer tells me I have successfully authorized it but then the song won't play and I get the same Authorize Computer dialogue box popping up again when I click the play button or double-click the song title.
    It's VERY frustrating!

  • Find which country store was an iTunes song purchased from?

    I found some old purchased iTunes songs on my laptop and I'm curious how can I find out which country/store that I bought them from. Since I'm an iTunes music collector so I have a lot of different iTunes accounts for many foreign stores. So I just want to ask if it's possible for me to find out which store I bought a song from. Thanks!

    Which countries have you been to and purchased songs whilst you've been there ? You can view your purchase history via your computer's iTunes, that will show you the currency : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support.

  • ITunes songs purchased on iPod missing! help!

    I purchased fours songs on my 16GB iPod Touch (a new Touch with updates included) using the iTunes application on my iPod. I've listened to them and they were fine.
    Later, I synched the iPod to the iTunes (7.6.??) on my home computer (Windows XP, 2). I recall synching the "purchased" song folders. Now the 4 songs I purchased using my iPod are gone. They're erased, it appears, from the iPod. I don't know were they are or if they can be recovered. I have tried to become knowledgeable about my iPod, reading a guide book, web articles, etc. But I did not see this topic covered and didn't know to be cautious.
    So here are my questions:
    1) Is it possible the songs are still there lurking on my iPod (I don't see them when I look under "purchases" in the Music folder)? How to get them?
    2) How to avoid losing songs purchased on the iPod in the future?
    3) Will I be able to download them again without having to buy them again?

    If they aren't shown on your iPod, then they aren't located on it.

    Once you have chance to connect your iPod to the computer and if you have just purchased music from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, then I would recommend you to transfer them immediately to your computer. Here's how to do so: [Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465].

    You can contact iTunes Customer Support. Use [this form|http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser> or the receipt received via e-mail. However you must understand that they have all right to deny a re-download, once it's responsibility to back up. Also the iTunes Store Terms of USe clearly states: *"All Sales are final"* .
    Hope this helps!

  • HT201359 My MasterCard bill for my iTunes song purchases are always moreo than what I bought. I only buy one song at a time or buy new levels for candy crush at .99 or 1.29 for songs, but there are times when my mc bill shows iTunes bought for 7.39 or 6.2

    I use iTunes for songs and to buy more levels on candy crush. My bill is to MasterCard, but each month my iTunes is for more than what I think I purchased. I recently had to change my mc number. It was a new number so I changed it on my account. When I buy a song I get an email but sometimes my bill shows for more than .99 or 1.29, it might show for 7.00 or more and when I call the number on the iTunes account I can never speak to an actual person. What should I do?

    Sometimes iTunes clumps bills together... look inside the email to see if there is a list of what you purchased. If you notice when you make a purchase it never comes out right away.. .its sometimes a week later before it comes out or you get an email. If during that week you purchased other items itunes may bill those together.
