New Purchased Music Playlist

My purchased music playlist doesn't seem to show up. Can I recover it? The music files are there just not the playlist. Do I need to create a new one? I don't remember creating that playlist in the first place.

Well, it'll be re-created next time you buy something from iTunes. iTunes always has a free download, so you can use that.
Then, in the library, sort by Kind. Drag all Protected AAC Files into the playlsit.

i can't sync my new purchased music into my ipod, it states there is a problem with the drive.

Hey Texasdee07,
I found the following information that should resolve the issue:
To repair an iPod disk—Restore the iPod or iPod shuffle using the latest version of iTunes.
Warning: Be sure to back up your data before restoring an iPod. The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted.
via: 'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring iPod

Lost Purchased Music Playlist

I have purchased music from iTunes but no Purchased Music playlist. How do I create one? Thx, Vermont

I've used your technique to create an MP3 playlist.
I created a smart-playlist using "kind" as a criteria and MP and a "match" parameter. That action created a MP3 plus MP4 playlist. Then I used the Search Bar to select only MUSIC resulting in my mp3 list.
Is there an easier way to do that? Tried MP3 as a match parameter, but iTunes does not recognize it.

Upgrade to 7.4.3.1 - Lost Purchased Music, Playlists and Library

I upgraded to 7.4.3.1 last weekend. This weekend I start iTunes and none of my 100+ songs are listed in my library, all of my playlists are gone (replaced with the generic 90's Music, Music Videos, My Top Rated, Recently Added, Recently Played, Top 25 Most Played) playlists - all of which are empty. Also under the "Store" heading...my Purchased folder is gone. I must have had 30+ purchased songs in there.
Any ideas how to get everything back?

Hi, I had the EXACT same thing happen to me.
Upgrade to 7.4.3.1 - Lost Purchased Music, Playlists and Library.
I let iTunes update last Sunday 10/14/07 and today I opened it up and Vista started rebuilding the library, then crashed and said it did not have a solution to this problem and shut iTunes down.
It created a, iTunes Library (Damaged).itl file.
I tried the help file that said to drag the C:\Users\ME\Music\iTunes Music folder onto my Library folder but it crashed after transferring 20 songs or so.
All of my music is in this iTunes Music folder so it is just a matter of trying to get iTunes and Vista to rebuild my Library so I can recreate my Playlist.
So I will keep looking for a solution, but this is getting silly !

Accidentally deleted Purchased Music playlist

I accidentally deleted Purchased Music playlist, no idea really how, bad computer day. Any suggestions on how to get it back? Without poking through my entire library to load purchases.

Ok, what about how with the last Itunes upgrade, it deleted all my purchased music from personal CD's! Is Itunes only designed to play music from Apple? I thought it was designed more like Windows Media Player and that any music purchased on the computer would play. I have my ghost playlists still listed in Itunes, but no songs because they have been deleted. My Iphone has all the music, but I can't transfer them to Itunes. The sync only goes from computer to device. Any one here about Senuti? Is it trustworthy?

Recover "Purchased Music" Playlist

Under the "Store" section in iTunes, I accidently deleted the "Purchased Music" playlist that contains a playlist of all purchased music on that computer. Note that I did NOT delete the music, just the playlist.
For example under "Store" instead of showing:
Store
-iTunes Store
-Shopping Cart
-Purchased Music
But mine just shows:
Store
-iTunes Store
-Shopping Cart
I looked under all the settings and preferences I could find to try to turn it back on. I also tried searching and just found a bunch of threads where people had deleted their purchased music, not this playlist.
If I can't get it back that's fine, but figured I would ask since it one of the defualt playlists. Thanks in advance.

i did as described (created a smart playlist with purchased and protected AACs), and it has successfully identified my purchased files, but when i try to drag them to the green purchased playlkist under "store" they do not transfer. it is as if the "purchased" playlist is protected from any additions that do not come from the itunes store, although all of these songs were purchased on the itunes store. any suggestions?
Try dragging the actual songs from your Library into the Purchased playlist, and not the songs that appear from the Smart Playlist; use the Smart Playlist to identify the purchased entries and try again this way.
Although I'm not totally sure why it isn't adding to your Purchased list. I just added the same purchased song to my Purchased playlist twice, through both methods described. (from Smart Playlist and from my Library)
Strange...

Deleted Purchased Music Playlist (not music)

I accidentally deleted the "Purchased" playlist which is a default list under Music Store. The songs are there...just the (green) playlist is gone. How do I get it back?

I copied this hint from a post of an Apple employee a while ago.
It said:
Could you try turning on the Shopping Cart for me?
1. Open iTunes.
2. From the iTunes menu, select Preferences.
3. In the Preferences window, select the green Store icon.
4. In the Store pane, click the radio button labeled Buy Using a Shopping Cart.
Let me know if this makes the Purchased Music playlist reappear.
If this doesn't do the trick, the playlist should re-appear on your next purchase.
Or, in the meantime, make a Smart Playlist with the rule:
Kind - contains - protected
This will put all your purchases in that playlist.
Hope this helps.

Cannot transwer new purchased music to ipod on new computer

We have a new computer that we cannot sync our new music purchased today to our ipod. We installed and syncd itunes 2 months ago when we got the computer, but I think this is the first time we have tried to purchase items on it. I say 'we' as this is my mom and dads issue.
They originally shared an apple ID. Apple ID 1 was linked to the ipod. Then they needed their own IDs so apple ID2 was created and the IPod was synced to it as that is the account inwhich new content would be purchased. Apple ID1 stayed the same. The new music we bought was on AppleID2. All music shows in previously purchased. It also shows under library/music. We cannot get the newly purchased music onto the IPod. We hit sync and it does not update the new music. I can not drag and drop it on the ipod or in the playlist which it is intended for. I deleted the music and downloaded it again and its still the same issue. i signed on to apple ID1 and still could not move the content on to the ipod.
IPod touch generation model MC086LL ios 4.2.1
I do not know what Itunes they are using but I assume its up to date on a 2 month old computer that didnt ask to be update upon load up.
Any help would be appreciated. Any questions feel free to ask.

Post in the iPod forum.

Re-establish Purchased Music Playlist

Can anybody suggest how to re-stablish this playlist (without manually trying to find purchased music amonst the 1000's of tracks imported from CD).
My playlists were lost in the upgrade to the ver. 7.3 and while everything is now working well, I would really like to be able to identify my purchased music easily.
Suggestions appreciated.....

This is simply a smart playlist that can be re-built using the following rule, "kind contains protected AAC" If you have any of the new iTunes Plus files, you will also have to include "kind contains purchased AAC", making sure that the first line says "match any of the following rules". On your next purchase, iTunes will recreate the purchased list, then you can just drag your smart playlist into the new purchased list & all of your purchases will be back in one place. Hope this helps.

Purchased Music Playlist Deleted

It seems that my Purchased playlist from the Store menu is gone. How do I get it back?

It will re-appear on your next purchase.
In the meantime, you can create a new Smart Playlist and set as rule:
Kind - contains - protected
This playlist then will contain all your purchases and always will be up-to-date.
After your 'Purchased' playlist appears again, you can add your previous purchased music to it.
Although the 'Purchased' playlist is a special one, it behaves like a normal playlist and you can in fact add anything to it.
Hope this helps.

Purchased Music Playlist Not Visible

I can access the music I purchased,but the playlist seems nameless and I can't seem to edit it.Can anyone help me with this.

You should be able to just click or double click the playlist and wait a second. After waiting a second, the cursor should appear in there so you can type in "Purchased Music" or any other name you'd like...

Hi was wondering how i get back all my purchased music from itunes. i plugged my phone in to my computer and it syned all my old purchased music from my ipod list and not all my new purchased music is gone.

I am having trouble getting back all my purchased music from itunes

Does music show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes for redownloading ? Whether music will show there will depend upon what country that you are in - and even if music does show it will also depend upon whether it's still in your country's store.
If you aren't in a country where you can redownload music and you don't have copies of it anywhere, then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : 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
