New Purchased songs after replacement...

I had to replace my iPhone 4, and looking in the iTunes app this morning at the "Purchased" section, I see a bunch of songs that I know I never purchased.  in some cases they are completely wrong (e.g. artists that I don't listen to) and in other cases, they seem to just be a little off (e.g. right artist, right album, but wrong song).
Has anyone else encountered this?  Any ideas for how to approach fixing it (at least in terms of the right-artist-&-album-but-wrong-song situation)?

I forgot to add whenever I ask it to sync it pops up asking me to: erase & sync or transfer purchase songs like I did before so I always transfer purchased songs but it doesn't do anything and im afraid if i select erase and sync it will erase everything...i dont know what to do !

  • Ipod mini won't play purchased songs after 2 days.

    ok this is really weird but my iPod mini won't play ANY of my purchased songs after 2 days of use. Then I have to hook it up to my comp and buy another song or download and then it will play the purchased songs. my mom has an ipod mini and doesn't have this problem. whats up with it?
    thanks!

    finally someone with my same problem, it has been solved though! what you do is you hook the mini to comp and then clik on the mini in source list, play purchased song, and then it should work

  • No album art on my Purchased songs after I got the new iTunes 10

    uggh... iTunes always does the worst things to me...
    This all started yesterday when I decided I would treat myself in trying to get the new 4.2 software on my iPod Touch. To prepare for the update, I backed up my iPod a couple times to make sure I wouldn't lose anything. I went to get the update, and I got a pop up saying I needed to transfer my Purchases. I didn't really see the point in this, but I did it, just to find all my Purchased songs off of my iPod and only stored on my computer. I had to wait awhile to get those back onto my iPod (I don't even know why they were taken off in the first place!), and when I went back to the Music library on my iPod I had no album art on my purchased songs. On iTunes, it shows the pictures on there just fine! Even on landscape, the picture is just that stupid gray music note that taunts me in my dreams... ok maybe that's exaggerating a bit... or not really...
    anyways, I'm pretty mad about all this and I've had it with iTunes doing crap to my iPod that even GOOGLE can't help me with! (hence the purpose of me joining this forum: try searching "no album art purchased" in Google. Nothing!) I mean I guess I could go onto Google Images and download EVERY SINGLE cover art again, and manually put them onto "Get Info", but I have like 60 Purchased songs! I don't want to go through that only to find that it made absolutely no difference.
    Anyone else got this problem or have any idea why it's happening to me?!
    watch it be something as simple as a unchecked box in Preferences...
    btw, sorry for how lengthy this got... haha

    The iOS 4.2.1 seems to have corrupted the artwork database on your Touch. I had some artwork issues too, but the solution is to simply Restore the iPod and re-load your last backup. Of course, make sure that everything on your iPod is also in your iTunes library (which is why your purchases were transferred before the OS update).

  • Replacing purchased songs after a house fire destroyed everything?

    I had a house fire a few months back and it destroyed everything that was electronic. I had around 320 purchased songs from itunes on my desktop, laptop, iphone, and I had my documents and songs backed up on an external hard drive. The fire destroyed all of those items. I was able to re-download purchased apps for free but I'm running into trouble with replacing my purchased songs. Has anyone had any luck arranging this? I did everything I could think of to protect my files but the fire won.

    You're drilling down to the wrong thing, then.
    Go into the part about itunes music and then choose lost or missing purchases.
    THere will be an email button near the top right when you get to the correct place. They don't make it easy.
    Bummer about the fire!

  • My ipod is not syncing new purchased songs in i tunes???

    i cannot sync newly purchased songs into my ipad nano 4th generation from the itunes store???

    I suspect that now the iPod sees the computer/iTunes library as a new computer/library. Follow these instructions

  • Entire Itunes library will not download to Ipod nano! All is checked and it says it synced but it will only put the few new purchased songs on my ipod.

    My son deleted the music from my Ipod.  I pulled up my Itunes on a new computer with windows 8 and pluged in the Ipod and my music reappeared.  However, I then purchased new music and the new music would not download.  I am not sure what I did but now the new music is on my ipod and all the old music is gone.  When I am in my itunes account all the songs are selected and when I hit sync it is still only syncing the newly purchased songs.  How can I get my entire library back on my ipod?

    So you also rebooted your router correct?  Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

  • IPod skipps all purchased songs after a reset

    Hi,
    Since I upgraded to version 7 of iTunes I have had the problem where after a reset my iPod mini will skip all purchased songs and only play songs ripped from cd's
    (this did not happen at all with v6 of iTunes).
    The only way around this is to hook it back up to the pc and let iTunes connect. Once it is connected and it says ok to disconnect I can disconnect my iPod and the songs will play until the next time it is reset.
    Where can I go or who can I contact to see about getting this bug in the software fixed?
    Thanks,
    Roy...

  • New Purchased Songs Wont Sync to Ipod

    I got a new computer and still had my old ipod so to keep the songs I have from getting erased I authorized my computer for my old ipod and everything was fine. All my purchased songs from my ipod synced onto my library great except for the songs I had loaded from CDs because those only show up on my ipod, but I didn't care so much. Well NOW I purchased 10 new songs from itunes store and they show up and play just fine in my library, but I can't get them to sync onto my ipod ! HELP PLZ !

    I forgot to add whenever I ask it to sync it pops up asking me to: erase & sync or transfer purchase songs like I did before so I always transfer purchased songs but it doesn't do anything and im afraid if i select erase and sync it will erase everything...i dont know what to do !

  • Losing I-tune purchased songs AFTER  using "system restore"

    I beg someone to help me. I will get to the point asap, but please be patient with my ramblings since the problem eventually gets to I-tunes.
    1-I constantly get this message when launchig yahoo messenger or watching DVD on computer or wanting to listen to my I-tunes purchased/downloaded songs" "The computer's audio output is already in use by another application". Sometimes, I get a message which states that my audio configutation is not correct. This just happened recently. ANYWAY.
    2-I decided to do system restore....and restored my system to an earlier version. THIS WAS great.....my audio configuration went back to normal. NOW, THE MAIN POINT:
    3-After doing a system restore...I totally lose my I-tunes registration. Even though I restored back to an earlier time...I should still BE able to log back into my i-tunes and store and EXPECT to find my songs. But..boom the songs are gone..it is as if I-tunes never recognized me as a user/purchaser. AND yes, I restored my computer to an earlier time BEFORE I purchased songs from I-tunes. But I do not see how this can be an issue..since....I have alread purchased the songs..and I-tunes or Apple.com has me in their system.
    So, my need is: getting my songs back, even though I did a system restore to an earlier date. Yes, I can use system restore again and go back to my recent restore point when I had I-tunes and I can find my songs..but....then...MY AUDIO configuration problem exits, again.
    sorry for rambling.
    Any help...would be be more than appreciated.
    thank you

  • How do you get back your purchased songs after you have restored your ipod?

    hi my name is meagan i just restored my ipod and all my (purchased songs , videos , etc.) are gone and i just called the apple hot line and they told me this would be the best way and that you guys can help get my purchased songs back this would be greatly appreciated:) please let me know as soon as possible

    Hi Meagan,
    If you have sync'd / transferred the songs to iTunes prior to the restore (they would be listed under iTunes Store or within your library if so) then you can easily sync these across. If, however, you don't you will need to get in contact with iTunes Store Support so as that they can look at possibly reauthorising a download of them for you.
    As an aside, with any purchases you ever make regularly backup and transfer the purchases from your device to your computer. That way you shouldn't lose them
