Past purchases are not showing as "purchased" in the itunes store

ok the other day i bought 10 songs from the itunes store, all from different albums. 2 of the albums i have decieded to buy, and of course we all know that it is sometimes cheaper to use the "buy album" option rather than buying all the songs individually.....well when i went to "buy" these albums i get the message that i will be purchasing songs already purchased and that i will now have "duplicates" of the "previously purchased" songs. i dont want that as you all can understand....i normally get the message that the songs previously purchased will not be downloaded when i buy albums that i had previously bought songs off of.....some of the other songs that i purchased in this "batch" are showing as "purchased" in the itunes store. it is just the songs off of those 2 albums that are not showing as purchased....now i do want to point out that all the songs downloaded just fine, just some of them dont show as purchased. any idea as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

  • My itunes tv and movie purchases are not showing in my video app

    my itunes tv and movie purchases are not showing in my video app, iphone 5s, and this has happened since ios 8 was installed

    Were they previously downloaded/synced to your iPhone, and if they were have you got them in the TV Shows and Movies parts of your computer's iTunes library. When you update via a computer the device is backed up, the iOS version is updated, and your content is then restored to the device - but none of your iTunes downloads are included in the actual backup (just your documents, notes, calendars, app settings etc), instead it looks to get the apps, music, films, TV shows from your iTunes library.
    If the 'show all' setting isn't showing them then what country are you are in, you are logged in with the same account that you bought them with, you haven't changed countries since buying them and they aren't hidden : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases ?

  • HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

    I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
    The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
    But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
    When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
    But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
    This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
    "Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
    But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
    Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
    Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

  • Purchases are not listed as purchases

    I recently started to use Itunes again (after my original computer stuffed up), on it I had 253 songs of which about 50 were purchased songs, and many more from CDs etc. I also had them backed up onto a USB, now I managed to get all of the music off the Ipod nano and into Itunes then I went about trying to back all the music up onto a external hard drive, and thought about moving the Itunes media library original location.
    I then found out that I had many duplicates of my songs, I then proceeded to fix that problem when I the noticed that the 50 songs that I had purchased are not recognised as purchases in Itunes but are still on my Ipod and can still play. It is the only place where I can find them.
    Also when connected to Itunes a error message pops up saying that the 50 songs in question cannot be synced to the Ipod because they cannot be found
    How can I transfer my 50 purchased songs from my Ipod to Itunes when they arent listed as being purchased in the first place.
    Help with this would be awesome.
    Thankyou.

    You haven't opened an account with that Apple ID in iTunes. Open iTunes and log in. A dialog will appear in which you need to enter your Apple ID and/or password. Below it you should see a link for creating a new account. Click on that link to get started.

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

    If you can log into the computer, go to the Mac App Store and purchase Mavericks under your AppleID.   Even though its free, they still consider it a purchase.
    If you are not able to log into your Mac you can try on a different Mac.  Once you purchase it, you can stop the download if you want.
    Once you do that then you should be able to reinstall via the Recovery HD

    Hi midanjm,
    This prompt is usually displayed when your Apple ID needs to be configured for purchases. We'll need to run through the additional steps to setup your country, and payment information. See Step 10 and above on this resource (For iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch):
    iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    Tip: If you are trying to create an account using an existing Apple ID, like your iCloud email address, you will receive a prompt telling you that your email address is already an Apple ID. Simply tap Continue, and then tap Use Existing Account on the following screen.
    - Next, you'll be required to enter your billing information. To choose a different Credit Card type, tap one of the available options, and then tap Done. You will not be charged until you make a purchase.
    - Once you've filled out all of the fields for your billing information, tap Next.
