My preordered album says its purchased, however I have not received an email for me to download it

The album I preordered's expected release date was today, so I go on my ipad to see if it was downloaded and when it wasn't, I checked itunes, where it states that the album I preordered is purchased, but gives me no link to download it. I also checked my past purchases on my ipad and on itunes and the album doesn't appear, however, does show up when I click on manage preorders, I also checked for available downloads with no results. I then researched online and apparently you receive an email when the content is ready to download, however, even though my album says it is purchased, I haven't received an email yet telling me the album is ready to download. Is this what is supposed to happen? I have tried everything to try and download my preordered album which states it is purchased, however, I do not want to pay again for an album which is telling me is already purchased. Is it possible the album is purchased, however, the content is not ready to download yet?

Hello there, Nickkilea.
Great job troubleshooting your issue thus far. The following Knowledge Base article offers up an alternative way of downloading your content if it already isn't in your library:
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
iTunes Store
Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased in the Quick Links section.
Select the content type that you want to download (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books).
Select Not in My Library to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.
Find the item that you want to download. You can browse using the menu to the left. If you have more than 2,000 songs, you will see Recent Purchases instead of All Songs or Albums.
Click the Download icon next to the item you want to download.
If an item is already in your library, the Download icon won't appear.
If you still are unable to download you purchase, then you will want to report your issue:

  • I recently updated iTunes to the lastest version; however, when I went to purchase a song, it told me I needed to verify my apple ID, however I have not received the email, and cannot purchase anything now, any help?

    I recently updated my iTunes to the latest version; however, when I go to purchase songs now, it says I need to verify my apple ID.  It tells me to click OK to follow the instructions on how to do so.  When I click OK, it says an email has been sent to my email address associated with my iTunes account that will hold a link that will aid in the creating of my apple ID, but I already have one, and just need to update it.  And to add to this, I have not yet received the email, and it has been a few days now... any help?

    Never mind, the email was finally sent....

    If you aren't receiving the email to your rescue email account (and you've checked the spam folder on it as well as the inbox) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

  • Itunes says my in app purchases were refunded but i have not received any money for them. what do I do?

    On 4/3 3 54.95 purchases went through on my checking account. I had a 50 dollar I tunes card and tried to buy an item worth 50 dollars. but instead 54.95 was charged 3 times from my bank account on iTunes card. I talked to my bank and iTunes. ITunes said they would refund all of them. I check my apps purchases on my pc and all 3 of the charges say refunded but I have received no money. On top of that I did not receive anything I purchased. what should I do to get my money back?

    It can take a number of days before the refunds will show on your card - if they aren't there by the end of the week then try contacting iTunes Support again.

  • HT203167 i bought a 19.99 dollar in-app purchase BUT i have not received it yet ( this was 2 days ago)

    I anyone knows what to do and how to do it let me ASAP

    How does it show on your card statement e.g. is it just a temporary store holding charge ? If it is then your card issuer should remove it from your account within a few days or so (the time varies by card issuer).
    Temporary store holding charges : iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About payment card authorization holds - Apple Support
    Does it show on your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support ? If it does then that implies that the purchase went through successfully, in which case either you should have either received the item, or your bank declined it and it should disappear off your card, or iTunes Support should deal with it : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

    Hello atthetop
    Typically with pre-orders you should have received an email to download your tracks. If you have not received it, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • When trying to update phone, a message says i have purchased items that have not been transferred to iTunes, what is this?

    When trying to update phone, a message says i have purchased items that have not been transferred to iTunes, what is this?

    We need a bit more information to help.
    Are you trying to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer?  If so, did you make purchases through the iTunes Store or App Store on your iPhone, and fail to sync them with your computer?  That is the likely meaning of what you are seeing.  If this is true, the purchases would be added to iTunes in your computer before the upgrade proceeds.

  • ITunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

    iTunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

    Hey Christownsend,
    Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
