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 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

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.

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.

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.

When i sync my ipod touch (4gen), my music does not appear on my device? what is wrong?

when I sync my ipod touch (4gen), my music does not appear on my device. What went wrong?

Hello,
The problem is that you just don't selected the music that you want to import.
You can do this by opening iTunes, search your ipod in the superior bar, select it, then will appear a screen showing the information of your ipod, you can check how many songs are in your ipod, if there says nothing so theres the problem. In the superior bar, select Music, then click on the box "Sync Music", now select the songs you want right down. And press "Sync" That should solve the problem.
Cheers

Itunes music does not appear in purchased column

I purchased music on itunes, but it does not appear in the purchased column on my ipad. Help

Does music appear as an option in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app ? Music can't be redownloaded in all countries, so it won't show for all countries.
If it shows but doesn't have all of your iTunes purchases, then have you changed countries since buying them (content is tied to the country, as well as the account), it's not hidden (hiding and unhiding), and it's still in your country's store (rights-holders can remove their content at any time) ? And have you tried logging out of your account (tap on your id at the bottom of the Music tab in the iTunes store app) and then logged back in to see if it then shows ?

Purchased ringtone does not appear in list in settings/sounds/ringtones

Hi I bought a ringtone on my iphone today and I can see it in the purchased downloads, and I can see on my MacBook after sync, but it does not appear in the list of ringtones on my iPhone, so I can't set it as my default. Can anyone tell me how I find this purchased ringtone and set it as my default ring?

I pressed the itunes icon on my iphone, up came the title screen, and one of the offerings on it was "Ringtones RCP Ringtones 1.0" you either buy the full library of the tones for $3.99 or just one for .99, which is what I did, I found the one I wanted (it sounds like a British telephone with that double ring-ring) and hit the buy button. It asked for my iTunes password which I gave, and then it downloaded. In other words, exactly like any other itunes song does.
Now it's sitting on my iphone in the downloads file. When I couldn't get it to appear in the settings/sounds/ringtones section so I could choose it, I thought maybe I should do a sync with my itunes on my computer, so I did that, making sure that "sync ringtones" was checked. Now there is a new file on my computer itunes called "Purchased on [my name]'s iPhone" however there is nothing in the ringtones folder on the computer itunes, and I've tried dragging it out of that purchased folder into the library and into the ringtones folder and it won't go in.
I can play it on my phone, and I can play it on my computer. it appears like any other song on itunes. but I can't make it become the ringtone on my phone!

Album marked as "purchased" but does not appear in my purchased list

I am trying to re-download an album I bought about eight months ago, because somehow all but a few of the songs from that album were lost. It does not appear in my purchased music list, on my iPhone or iTunes on my PC, in fact none of the album, whether it is whatever remaining on my drive or not, appears. However, if I search for the album, in this case Trio Mediaeval's Folk Songs, the button used to purchase the album is greyed out and says "Purchased." It does not give me the option to download the songs though. How can I remedy this? Thanks.

Is the layer that you brought over the top layer in the stack of layers in the layers palette?

Transfering Music from PC to Mac, but music does not appear.

I recently purchased a Macbook for personal use. I wanted to transfer my iTunes from my old Dell desktop onto the new Macbook. I followed the instructions on the Apple site to transfer music from an old computer to a new one using the iPod. Everything worked, until the finale step; I attempted to transfer the iTunes folder from the iPod to the music folder on the Macbook. It seemed to be working, but when I opened iTunes, the music was not there. I restarted the computer and still the music did not appear.
What should I do to fix this problem? Do I need to reformat my iPod from PC to Mac to transfer the music? On the instructions page, it did not say whether I needed to reformat the iPod or not, so I just followed the instructions. Please help if you can.

Yes, and the music trasferred, I can see it in the folder, but it's not displayed in iTunes.

Thanx

Dowlnloaded music to itunes does not appear in library

I have downloaded several cds to itunes and they show they are downloading but after that they do not appear in the itunes libraries. If I do a search it shows they exist on the computer hard disk but they cannot be accessed nor apparently moved to an itunes library where they then can upload to an ipod. Even erasing them does not then allow them to be reloaded to itunes libraries.
Thanks for your advise

I had a similar issue. I realised that the music wasn't on the computer but on the cloud... do you have an iTunes Match account, if so try downloading 1 track to the computer by clicking on the cloud icon in iTunes, then go back into iMovie and see if that track is available. Hopefully it will be like mine.

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
