Previously purchased books not showing in 'Purchased' collection?

For some reason my purchased books (with the exception of those not yet downloaded to this machine), are no longer showing up in the 'Purchased' collection. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but I have begun to rely on the collection to seperate the Books bought from the iBooks store from those obtained from other sources such as Project Gutenberg.
Though I can still see the purchased books listed in iTunes when viewing my purchases through the iTunes store, I'd like to see them in the iBooks 'Purchased' collection.
The only thing I can think of that might have caused this, though it seems unlikely, is I deleted the cache recently.

It looks like at some point in history, iTunes created a new 'Purchased' playlist.
This playlist is a special one, but behaves like a normal playlist.
You can add your previous purchases to it.
Another way is to create a new Smart Playlist and set as rule:
Kind - contains - protected
That playlist will always be up-to-date and contains all your purchases.
Hope this helps.

Purchased book not showing up for syncing

I purchased a book ages ago (before iBooks was on the iPhone) and I can't get it to sync with my iPhone now that iBooks is on my phone.
It doesn't show up on the sync options in iTunes but it does show up in the Books library on iTunes.
Sync Bookmarks and Notes and Sync Collections are switched on, on my iPhone.
I've tried Syncios but it only wants to sync non iTunes purchased books, not the iBooks format.
Any ideas?
Versions
iTunes 11.2.0.115
iOS 8.1.2
iBooks 4.1.1

Not all ibooks are compatible with iPhones, some can only be read on iPads and Mac computers - if you got to the book's description page in the store does it say that you should be able to read it on an iPhone ? If it is compatible (and it's still in the store) then it should show in the Purchased tab in the iBooks app on your phone for redownloading.
The 'sync collections' setting does not copy books and/or PDFs between devices/computers, all it does is if you have a book or PDF on a device or computer and you move it into a collection on it, then on the other devices/computers that you have that book/PDF on(and the 'sync collections' setting is 'on') it will be moved into the same collection - but it won't copy it onto a device or computer, you need to sync/copy/download it onto each device/computer that you want it.

Previously purchased songs NOT showing as purchased in the itunes store. I dont want to re-buy something I already have. How can I get this fixed?

Ive got quite a few songs. I dont want to rebuy one ive already got. Why are my songs not showing as purchased in store like they once did? How do I solve this issue?

Hi,
Go to song view, add iCloud status. To do this, go to menu > view > view options and tick box. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, duplicate, ineligible or waiting. As the scan is stalling with one track remaining, find this track - it is likely to have a icloud status of waiting.
Suggest that you delete from library then select update iTunes Match. Once match completes try readding track - by the way how. Big is the track and whatever is its media type?

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?

Hello stuartfromwillenhall,

It appears that you want to download some previous purchases from iTunes. To download these items please see the directions in the article below.

Purchased items not showing in Purchased View

So I have this view of an album in the iTunes store, clearly showing it was purchased.
http://i.imgur.com/50nuXQm.png
but the album is not visible in my 'Purchased' view via iTunes or any other device.
What gives?
I contacted support and a 20 minute chat session led to the representative regranting me the album. I was able to re-download it in iTunes but it's still missing from the Purchased view!

Did you download the movie on a device?
If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

I purchased a movie and a book and my purchases do not show up on my iPad

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. You should sync your audiobooks to other devices via iTunes on your computer. If your audiobook didn't download correctly or has other problems, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.
To copy the audiobooks from one computer to another, use homesharing, put them on a memory stick or use your Dropbox if your computers are networked.

Not sure if this is the issue in your case, but ...

There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

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 ?

OS X Mavericks - iTunes/app store account not showing past purchases

Since upgrading to OS X Mavericks (the install crashed and corrupted my HD so had to do a clean install), the app store and itunes store past purchases are not showing, or in the case of the itunes store it shows that there are 331 purchases but the list is blank and there is no option to restore/download.

Hey there yvrbill,
It sounds like you are signed into your Apple ID in iTunes but when you try and download your previous purchases the list is empty.
I want to recommend signing out of the iTunes store, then restart your computer.
To sign in to or out of the iTunes Store:
In iTunes, choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).
From: Sign in or out of the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1640
After restarting your computer try to download your previous purchases again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities,
All the very best,
Sterling

I've just enabled match and now my new purchases do not show up on my account. I can only access them buy going into purchase playlist?

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

New purchases are not showing up in smart playlists

Everythig is turned on as well.

ITunes will not show my purchases before October 18, when I had a different username. How do I get the older purchases (more than 5,000) listed when my password is rejected and it won't issue a new one for that username?

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,
