My iTunes Store purchases (music) are dissappearing from me over time.

They are not shown even in my account purchases, not only in the devices. Has anybody experienced the same? How can i solve it?

me too! all songs i purchased from the iTunes store and ONLY AFTER i upgraded my iTunes/installed the latest version.
what the **** is going on? i didn't even make more than one copy of these songs to backup on my external drive.
in addition, after i first installed the update, some message popped up about how many machines iTunes is working on -- it's never been more than my computer.
HELP!!!!

  • Synced new ipod to itunes, now missing all but itunes store purchased music that is already on my phone

    Synced our new ipod nano today to itunes. I don't know what happened but now all but itunes store purchases are in the library, my playlist is gone as well as all the music I had downloaded from my CD's. The iphone 5 still has everything on it but not on my computer. Frustrating!!   Now I'm scared to sync my phone, thinking I may lose all of my library off there as well. How do I get my library back on to my computer so I can transfer that music to my ipod?

    Look into iTunes Match, a service from Apple that uploads your music in itunes to the cloud (not icloud) so you can download it to other devices.
    Try googling "itunes match"

  • ITunes does not recognize non-iTunes Store-purchased music - Windows 7.

    No matter which iTunes Media folder location I select in 'advanced preferences', only songs purchased from the iTunes store are available in iTunes; not any ripped or otherwise downloaded music. This happened three days after downloading the latest iTunes update, after uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and after moving music from a CD into the default folder location in 'advanced preferences'. After all this, I ripped a new CD in iTunes that played and displayed just fine in iTunes and was placed in the exact same folder as the 80 other CDs that are NOT visible, playable, or available in any other context in iTunes. I am spent. What gives?

    Right click on the video in iTunes and select Get Info, go to the video tab and see if you can set Video Kind to Movie
    When you managed to get it on the phone and you were able to just hear the sound, did you play the file from the video tab on your phone's ipod?

  • How to use itunes store purchased music in SP?

    Hello,
    I know that iTunes store music is copywrited and you can't use it in any commercial product. But I am making a movie of my vacation that maybe 10 of my friends and family will see.
    I would like to use my iTunes music in this movie and of course the songs I want are the ones that I bought on the music store.
    How would I be able to use those songs in my project? If you can do it in iMovie, you should be able to do it in Soundtrack. If I bought a CD I would be able to!
    Are there any kind of utilities to take that lock of the songs?
    D

    i haven't actually tried any importing music with drm into STP yet, but in the past on my pc, if drm was causing issue with using an mp3 in certain applications (soundforge was a regular), i'd simply burn the track as audio and extract the audio back from the cd...
    a little cheeky but drm should be there to prevent piracy, not hinder the legally paying customer

  • ITunes store purchased music not showing

    today I went into the itunes store and went under music and purchased......blank screen!!  My books, movies, and tv shows are there but not my music.  Anyone else have this happen and did you get it fixed?  Other computer in the house isn't doing it there's is fine. It's working on my iphone and ipod.

    Oops sorry I didn't phrase my question right >.< o
    What I'm trying to explain is with the new iTunes Store 9.0 when you buy a song it fades out the name to show you have purchased the song. And recently I have purchased the full album in different parts at different times but never pressed the Buy Album button to get the full album at once. Now after I brought the full album all the songs say I have not purchased them or now let me buy them once again, when they are usually faded in the iTunes store like I said before.
    So I was wondering why it did that because I wanted the extra feature for the full album. Since I have brought ever song on the album that I completed.
    So earlier this year my hard drive failed and I got a new one which I restored with my Time Capsule. And before my hard drive failed I had purchased a few of the songs on the album (with 8.0), and when I installed 9.0, where you can see what songs you have by them being faded them out,it didn't show credit for any of the songs I had purchased before my hard drive failed.
    If you need me to re-clarify or need more info feel free to ask ^.^ I did have some trouble writing up the question since it is hard to describe

  • Can my iTunes store purchases be stolen if i download over WIFI?

  • Remove DRM from early itunes store purchases

    The itunes help screen says, "If you already have iTunes Store purchases that are now available as iTunes Plus downloads, you may upgrade your existing purchases. To do so, visit the iTunes Store and follow the onscreen instructions."
    If there are 'on screen instructions' I don't see them anywhere.
    Ideas?
    Thanks much

  • ITunes store purchases won't play on iPod

    iTunes has just told me that my iTunes Store purchased music cannot be synced to my iPod because I do not have authorisation to play them on my iPod. I can play them from iTunes on my MacBookPro, sure my iPod is the same account?

    I see what happened.... when I upgraded to Leopard, iTunes lost its authorisation.
    Now I've reauthorised my computer and it says I've used 2 of my 5 authorisations.... Wow. both on the same machine. Surely the authorisation system can see that it's the same computer and reuse the first authorisation?

  • ITunes Store Purchase History Time and Date

    Does someone know whether the iTunes store purchase History is set to the local time or a central time - some of the times of my purchases seem to be different to the time I recalled purchasing them. Also if it is set to local time does the time automatically change if you are travelling? Thanks heaps

    What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (we are fellow users on these forums, we won't know why the message is appearing) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • My apple id unable to purchases music or apps from itunes store

    It happened many times with my Apple id. Firstly, I was unable to purchases contents from itunes store. The notif "contact itunes support" always appear everytime I tried to purchased. Everytime I met the issue, I always contacted itunes support, but rarely itunes support teams replied my email. This time, it happened again, and even more. Right now I couldn't purchases anything from itunes store even music. It said that I have to verify my billing info. I've tiped everything needed in that billing info also my credit card, but the notif always "security code is invalid". How come it is invalid, when I handed the card my self when I tiped the number on my apple id. I've repeated it over and over again, but the same notif always came.
    Anyone could explain to me, what's happen to my apple id axactly and how to solve this issue.
    Thanks.

  • HT1848 I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ?

    I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). I no longer have my CDs once I did donate it to a public library. How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ? At this time I only know how to transfer Apple Store purchased items.

    iTunes will only import music purchased from the iTunes store.  If you need to import music to iTunes from your phone that wasn't purchased from iTunes you will need to use 3rd party software to do so, such as Touch Copy.

  • Getting purchased music and video from itunes

    I deleted some music and videos that i purchased from itunes store by accident from my computer. Is there a way that i can retrieve it from the store again without paying for it? I was able to view everything that I purchased but I couldn't find a way to download them again. Thanks
    marc

    If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
    If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • HT1918 Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?

    Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?
    Historically, I have my own laptop and my 8 year old daughter has a laptop as well.  I also have an iPad and iPhone.  In the past, I have managed all devices with the same apple ID, and used my laptop as the main library, storing all music, apps, video, etc.  I then  just selectively copied things to the other authorized devices, so my daughter's laptop has a copy of her music under my apple ID.  Now she has her own iPod touch, so I would live to move her music and apps to her own iTunes library with a name I create for her on her laptop and iPod.
    Is this possible without having to repurchase all of her media?
