Purchased music does not appear in iTunes

I had to reinstall OS X on my computer, and when I updated iTunes, none of my purchased music was there. That goes for a credit balance I have also. When I check the info for my account, some previously purchased music is there, but not the most recent and the credit balance is still missing. Have any ideas what I should do to correct this? Thanks.

If you think all the music is there, you can sync to the ipod.
The purchased playlist is a smart playlist. Since you re-added the music to itunes, it just doesn't show them in the purchase playlist, but they are porbably still in the main itunes library.
You can make 2 smart playlists to find the files
Kind contains purchased (this will show itunes plus content)
Kind contains protected (this will show non-itunes plus content)

Music does not appear in iTunes after consolidation and xfer to E drive

I followed the instructions listed on the web site for xfer of the music to an external hard drive. After I did the consolidate portion, the music did not show/appear in the e drive folder created for the music. The music does not show in iTunes now. I have not deleted anything since I can't see music in the e drive folder.
I am currently copying the music from the older folder to the newer folder to see if this helps.
Where does the consolidated music go?
Can it be shown in iTunes at all now that it has been consolidated?
Will pod sync now since music does not appear in iTunes?
Any help or information would really be appreciated.
Thanks!

Rather than move individual files you might want to move the whole collection:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

My purchased music does not show in iTunes on my new mac

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. The iTunes library was transferred over by the Apple store employees, but my purchased music does not show. How can I get my purchased music to show in iTunes? (I previously had a Windows PC). Thank you!

The 'Purchased' music is just a special Playlist. You can create your own and drag the links into the 'Purchased' PL.
Using the command CMD-J you can add the Purchase date to your list view - sort by date - drag the tunes to the 'Purchased' PL.

Purchased music does not appear in library

I just purchased an album but it does not appear in my library. Thinking I screwed something up went back into store to purchase. When I clicked purchase a pop up said you have already purchased this do you want to purchase again, a pop up said you purchased this already do you want to purchase again? I clicked No. Where is my music?

All purchased items will be put in the "iTUnes Music" folder on the PC where you bought them and then added tot he green "Purchased" playlist.
When you add these files to a new PC/iTUnes library tho, there not automaticly added to the purchased playlist. So first search the itunes main music library for purchased items. If not listed search the PC by going to Start>Search in windows select "Files and folders" (Not music) and in the search field put ".M4P" and search the PC

Purchased music does not show in itunes. Only the artists

I purchased a couple albums on my iPhone. It shows the artist in the iTunes store and that there are 22 items, but it does not show the music for me to download it to my library.

Depending upon what country that you are in you might be able to redownload the albums via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your PC's iTunes, or on the current version of iTunes you can access the Purchased section by clicking on your name towards the top right of the iTunes screen and then Purchased on the popup
If they show there then click on the cloud icons on them to download them

I have iTunes ver 10 on a PC with Playlists which do not sync to ITouch or Nano (6th Gen). All the music does not appear and the playlists do not appear at all. I have selected to manually manage music on the sum tab

I have iTunes ver 10 on a PC with Playlists which do not sync to an Itouch or Nano (6th Gen). Also, all the music does not appear when I check entire library and there is enough memory on the device. When I select to manually manage music on the summary tab and selected playlists on the music tab nothing changes. Either way all the music isn't on either device and the playlists are not on either device. Please advise next steps. Thank you.

Connect the device to the computer.
In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

What content are you wanting to copy of the iPad ? You should be able to copy off anything that you've purchased from Apple (films, music, ibooks, apps etc) by connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy off music copied from your own CDs or purchased from other sites then you will need to find a program for your computer that can copy them off – iTunes won't copy them off.
For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites then you should be able to copy them off via the Windows camera wizard.
For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
Content in third-party apps (documents and files etc) then how you copy that content off will depend upon what the apps that they are in support e.g.either via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

Device Synch Menus does not appear in iTunes 11 on Windows 8 PC

My 3rd generation iPod Nano connected to Windows-8 PC and iTunes 11 - Device "Summary" menu does not appear. If you select the <File> menu in iTunes there is an option to "Synch Nano". My iTunes is set to manually manage music on the Nano - because the "Summary" menu does not appear in iTunes it is impossible to select albums to Synch with the Nano.
On the upper right bar there is an eject button for the iPod Nano. This does in fact eject the Nano device and re-appears in iTunes if you disconnect the device then reconnect the iPod Nano.
No other device menus are present in iTunes 11 under Windows-8. The iPod Nano music library also does not appear.
Only the PC based iTunes music library is visible.
Itunes software versions are both current on the Nano and Windows-8 PC.
The computer was deauthorized and then authorized in iTunes.
The Synch History was reset in iTunes Preferences - this did not re-establish the Nano as a device to synch with iTunes. (Typically fixes similar problems)
Resetting nano device by holding Menu after switching unit on/off (Apple Logo Appears then Reboots Nano) makes no difference.
Nano shows as a drive in Windows-8 in "My Computer" and the operating system recognizes the device connection.
No problem ejecting and reconnecting the Nano in Itunes but traditional device menus are gone with the exception of the eject button.
Tested the same iTunes Nano on two other computers with iTunes 11 installed on Windows-7 and Windows XP - works fine. This issue only occurs on Windows-8 computers.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just updated iTunes today and this seems to be the cause
If you're already at version 11.1.5.5, try the procedure in Cerbu's post:
Re: sync problem
... or try section 5 from the following document:
TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.

I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.4 and at first iTunes didn't work so i came on here and found a way to fix it. Now that I have fixed it my iPod does not appear on iTunes or on my computer.

I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.4 and at first iTunes didn't work so i came on here and found a way to fix it. Now that I have fixed it my iPod does not appear on iTunes or on my computer.

Removed. Re-synced. Still not working. Factory reset the phone, re-installed music... made a GIANT "Other" file instead of actually adding any songs.
Factory resetting again. Any other solutions?
EDIT: If It helps, I'm doing this all over USB connection, not trying to sync music through wifi or anything.

Nano does not appear in ITunes or Finder; unable to re-set device

Suddenly my 2nd gen nano does not appear in ITunes or Finder. I looked up support articles and it says to try re-setting the Nano, but I'm unable to do that -- I press the center and menu buttons; have also tried the menu and play buttons but the apple logo never appears. I've had problems with the menu button "sticking" before, so perhaps that's why...Nevertheless, how else do I fix this issue?? I've been unable to sync or transfer my recent purchases, so this is frustrating....

- however once i reached the crutial stage of
actually switching the 'terminal services' from
disabled to manual, I get an error message on my
computer "Error 5: Access denied" and nothing on the
site gives any indication of what to do in such an
eventuality.
Do you have an administrator account on your computer? If you are not logged in as administrator, do so before attempting to change the to manual. However, I myself am having the same problems with my own ipod..
