Newly purchased music has vanished (UK)

Last night I used my Touch to buy several songs from the ITunes store as well as 3 films and an audiobook. This afternoon when I came to synch the IPod with my laptop i noticed that while the films and book are on the ipod, the Songs have vanished totally from the device. They arent on the laptop either and Itunes isnt showing them at all.

First I would reset the iPod. You will not lose anything.
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
I would also reboot the computer.
If the above did not make your music reappear, did you actually see the music on your iPod after buying them? Does you receipt say you actually purchased them? The receipt and you purchase history has a link for reporting a problem. Use that link if the receipt showed you purchased them.

  • Purchased music has vanished!

    I am using the latest build of iTunes with Vista. About 2 months ago I purchased a couple songs that vanished. The folder is there in the iTunes folder, but the song file is gone. And of course iTunes can not find it. It is listed with an ! next to it.
    I figured I must have deleted it and went on my way. So yesterday I purchased a song and synced it to my iPod classic (works fine) and today I log in to iTunes and it is gone! Same symptoms. Album folder is there, song is listed on playlist, but actual file is gone! Any insight?
    TIA
    Steve

  • TS3297 problem downloading newly purchased music, "an unknown error occurred (8003") help

    I am having problems downloading newly purchased music, message response is "An unknow error occurred (8003)".  Does anyone know how to correct this error and enable downloading of music?

    Doublechecking. Have you tried the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document?

  • HT1351 some of my newly purchased music won't sync

    Some of my newly purchased music won't sync, even though I converted it to the proper format.

    Music purchased from the iTunes Store does not need to be converted before being used on iPods.  Music from most other sources, such as Amazon, is in MP3 format and does not need to be converted.  So, can you explain "even though I converted it to the proper format"?

    iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store.  Anyboy else get this looping error?

    Hey everybody,
    I also was experiencing the unknown error -42018 when attempting to download purchased music. Additionally, I was stuck in an endless authorization loop when attempting to play previously purchaed music. All this started when I installed the latest iTunes software 7.0.2.
    I run windows XP Pro, and unlike the majority of users I actually set it up correctly with a dedicated administrator account, and regular user accounts instead of just running as admin all the time. For me, that was the cause of the problem.
    The new version of iTunes software required FULL CONTROL privilages on the iTunes and iPod install directories for all user accounts that were using the program. (Previous versions worked fine, so this is a new thing.) Once I provided those permissions, iTunes worked correctly. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 for information on how to provide FULL CONTROL to every user account.
    I hope you all find this helpful in solving your problem.
    Good Luck,
    Bill

  • Music has vanished from itunes! Help!

    I just logged into my itunes to discover that about two thirds of my music has gone! Including stuff i uploaded personally from cds. Can anyone please help me find it or do i have to start from scratch? I'm pretty hopeless with computers, please help!

    tony.... me too! only it happened about 2 weeks ago....I got a new computer. Now my itunes Library only shows albums I have bought from Itunes Store. It used to list my entire library song by song. Now I have album covers and no song list. I bought a new album from Itunes since I have had the new computer, and plugged in my Ipod to transfer it to the Ipod. It didn't accept the new album, but luckily it also did not erase all the songs on my Ipod.I am afraid to plug in the Ipod now as it might eat all my existing songs. Most of them were from CD's. It takes hours to download all those CD, I hate to do it again.

  • There is absolutely NO way to drag and drop newly purchased music from the Purchased list on the phone into my iTunes library?  I'm finding it hard to believe that something so simple cannot be done!

    I like to make MP3 CD's when I have people over, or when my friends have people over so I can just pop them into the CD player and let them play all night without having to worry about changing the CD or anything.  Well, Apple's music is in AAC format, so I have to convert the songs to MP3 files using the converter in iTunes.  So I'll convert them to MP3's and just delete the AAC file so I don't have doubles.  The problem is, the next time I plug the phone into my laptop to transfer new purchases, iTunes thinks that the songs I converted aren't there anymore because the phone has them as AAC files, and iTunes has them as MP3 files, so it doubles the music again...EVERY time!!  It's very frustrating!  So this is why instead of clicking Transfer Purchases, I would like to be able to just drag and drop the songs I want from the Purchased list on the phone into my iTunes library.  I hope I explained this right...lol.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like I'm able to do that.  I'm hoping maybe somebody here can help me out and give me some pointers on what to do about this.  Thanks!!

    That stinks!  I can actually do that at my house...I just plug my iPhone right into the wire that's plugged into my receiver in my living room...but some of my friends aren't "technology savvy"...lol...so they just have DVD players and I'll put the CD in there because it will read an MP3 disc.  What's funny, is I have the phone set to "Manually Manage Music", and when I plugged it into the laptop just now, the one song I downloaded last night on the phone, transferred over to the iTunesl library.  That NEVER happens.  And it only transferred the one song...it didn't double the other songs like it ususally does.  I swear, iTunes does what it wants, when it wants sometimes...lol.  Thank you for your quick response. 

  • All my music has vanished

    My entire library on itunes has disappered? Its not even in the file! Can someone help please?

    If your iTunes Music folder has no music files in it as opposed to just an empty library when you open iTunes, then you need to recover your music files from your backups.
    I am guessing that you don't have a backup, but you can recover anything you had on your iPhone using the information in this post from Zevoneer:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9990366#9990366
    Anything you don't have on the iPhone will have to be re-ripped.
    The iTunes store has a strict download once policy, so any lost purchases will have to be repurchase if you want them, but you could try contacting customer service to see if they will take pity on you and allow a second download.
    Now would also be a good time to think about backing up your files in the future. External drive are not that expensive these days.

  • Can't access newly purchased music

    I am thinking it might have something to do with iCloud but I just purchased 2 music videos and about 10 songs and I see everything in my purchased and recently added playlists but when I click on them, they are all greyed out and don't do anything when double clicked on. The music videos I downloaded from my iPhone. The music I downloaded from my Macbook Pro. I checked my Available Downloads and nothing was listed. Going back to the purchased playlist, next to the numbered item there is a dotted line circle next to it and I am not sure what that means. Prior to activating the cloud, my music was accessible as soon as it downloaded. The same with music videos and other content. I am not sure what the deal is now that I cannot see or listen to the new purchases.

    For some reason after I closed iTunes and then opened it back up, it downloaded my content! This is the second time I had to do this! So my issue has been fixed!

  • Unable to download newly purchased music

    The last two albums I have purchased on iTunes have refused to download. I keep getting errors stating that the song is unable to download at this time. I have tried rebooting, resetting network settings and a full restore( which is annoying in itself)
    This is starting to get extremely frustrating. Being an iPhone owner for 5 years now I have experienced just about every problem you can think of but this one has got me considering other products. Apple prides itself on ease of use but nothing lately has been easy to use. Please help.

    I have a brand new 4S and it gives me that same message (unable to download at this time" with new purchases and old ones I synced up from an old phone.  Did you guys figure it out yet?  Thanks.
