When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

Just got my 1st iMac, trying to load my iTunes library, but it only seems to want to load "purchased" music, not the music I've loaded by disc etc

Easiest way is to use Migration Assistant application in /Applications/Utilities/ on your computer.
This will migrate all yoru user data from old computer.

Home sharing on the apple TV only shows itunes purchased music,not my whole music library.

Home sharing on the apple TV only shows itunes purchased music,not my whole music library. I can not find any settings to fix this issue.
How do I get home sharing to see the entire library?

AppleTV 2 and 3's main icon Music section is a shambles.
There should be a Music store as there was on AppleTV1. Crazy you can't access Purchases unless subscribed to itunes Match.
As Winston says you are probably not looking in the correct place for local streaming of your music library.

ITunes purchased music not found in library

Hi there, maybe someone can help me, I'm having MANY annoying problems with my itunes both before and after the 2015 update. Problems with both music purchased directly from iTunes and from cd uploaded music. Main concern is inaccessible music purchased from iTunes:
*The other day, I noticed about 1500 songs from my library would not play within the iTunes program. These are from previously uploaded CD's and mp3's, and then I noticed also iTunes music, when attempting to play would give the error "unable to locate file/locate now". Sure I guess I can re-upload the hundreds of CD's (sigh), but I'm mostly concerned about the inaccessible music I bought and paid for from Apple.
I tried some online research and found the Account Tab->Purchased within iTunes desktop program, to re-download...however this didn't fix the problem because some of the iTunes purchased songs having the "no-play/can't locate" issue were not showing up as "Not in My Library"... And it appears you can only re-download with the cloud button, music that isn't already in your library. But when you go to play them you get the error message and it shows an exclamation point by the check mark box. Some of these inaccessible songs however, will play on my iPhone and some will not.
*Next issue, I also cannot locate MANY of these iTunes purchased songs/albums on my hard drive either (I am using a windows 8 computer). Very frustrating when music I bought from Amazon is saved securely to my hard drive and is also playable on ITUNES. Apple's music won't even play on their own friggin program, but Amazon mp3's will???
*Next issue. I applied the new updates to my phone and my iTunes program hoping to correct the issues. This did nothing. I opted NOT to use Cloud at the moment for privacy concerns. Could this be adding to the issue with the iTunes music?
I also have over 100 songs that want to be re-downloaded from the iTunes application on my phone in order to allow those tracks to be available on my phone. I went from my phone into iTunes->More->Purchased->Music to find these. Do I have to go through each artist individually to re-download them all?
As you can see, getting very frustrated with Apple and their constantly malfunctioning softwares. Is this an issue I need to take with me to the Apple store? I went in before for iTunes issues and they said they wouldn't help me because I'm not using a Mac computer but a PC and they don't help people that use PC's, even though my iPhone5S and hundreds of iTunes tracks are from THEM. Should I just throw in the towel and buy a Samsung next time? Spending my whole day trying to figure this stuff out when it should be accessible being that I already PAID for all of this music, such awful software, jeeze louise.

Hello JackieVall213,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your purchased music has not downloaded automatically after pre-ordering an album. Please take a look at the information below on how to download pre-orders from iTunes if you do not have automatic downloads enabled.
Download a pre-ordered item
When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
iTunes Store: About pre-orders - Apple Support
Enable Automatic Downloads - Apple Support
Take care,
Alex H.

Already purchased music not showing up in purchased tab

I preordered the rhcp album "I'm With You" and I downloaded it to my Macbook Pro the other night when it was available. Today, I tried downloading it from cloud when I wasn't near my computer but it didn't show up in the Purchased section. I got the music to my phone via my Macbook Pro but still the music is not showing up in my cloud. What is the issue here?

The Purchased Music folder isn't a smart playlist.
To find all your Purchased Music, forget about the list in the Shopping Cart and create a Smart Playlist whose sole criteria is:
Kind contains protected AAC
Tick the 'Live updating' box and click OK. That Smart Playlist will then show you all your purchased music, regardless of how you bought it.

Purchased Playlist Not Updating

Running iOS 7.0.1 on an iPhone 5s
My music app is not automatically downloading any new purchases, despite automatic downloads being turned on. Furthermore, it's not adding anything purchased on my iPhone to the "Purchased" playlist, it's simply going into the main library.
I contacted APP last night about it and they hadn't heard of the issue. Curious to see if anyone else has a similar issue and/or a fix!
Thanks in advance!
=Nate

So it appears iOS 7 now auto updates all smart playlists, but doesn't auto update regular playlists. The purchased playlist was treated as a special playlist under iOS 6, making it the only playlist that would auto update. Now it is treated as a regular playlist. To get an auto-updating purchased playlist, create a smart playlist in iTunes that only includes purchased music and order the playlist by purchase date.
Now if only we could add to a playlist, from a playlist....

ITunes purchased music not burning

I am trying to burn some Itunes downloaded music, They says protected AAC. I have the advanced settings on 1X speed and audio CD. I get an error code3 which says the speed is too fast but it is set on the lowest speed I can see. I understand that I can burn iTunes music but not sure what the problem is. Thanks.

Hi everybody. I guess it's somewhat comforting learning that I'm not the only one with this problem. I recently updated to iTunes 6, and just yesterday tried to burn my first audio CD off that new version. I've been getting the same "burn speed incompatibility" message you all are talking about. It took me a while just to figure out that the problem had to do with the purchased music on my iTunes library, 'cause I can burn imported music just fine. The iTunes Help index only addresses authorizing one's computer to play purchased music, which I'm assuming all of us have done. I tried "repairing permissions" on my hard drive using Disk Utility, based on what a friend said to try, and then actually managed to burn a CD-RW with my purchased music playlist. I then tried burning a CD-R with the same playlist, and the same "burn speed" problem occured. Doesn't matter what speed I set the burner at either. I make a lot of CD's for friends and such. Does ANYONE know how to fix this problem??

HT204406 Lost purchased music after update

Hi,
I updated my iphone just last week after 11 months of not updating. I have just noticed that since the update I have lost music that I have purchased from itunes. I don't know how much music is missing, however it seems to be quite a bit of recently purchased music. How can I retrieve this music? When I go onto iTunes and look at songs I know I have purchased it says "buy now" not "install" or "download" so it looks like it will charge me again of I try. I won't be impressed at all if I have to purchase all the music I'm missing again. Not only that, I don't know how much music is missing.
Please tell me there is a way to get it all back!

Why is it not in your itunes library? If you purchase any content on your phone, you MUST File>Transfer purchases to get the content into your itunes library. The itunes content sync is ONE WAY: computer to phone. You can re-download purchased apps for free. For the rest of your purchased content, contact itunes support, plead your case, beg...they "may" let you re-download it, but the decision is theirs:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
For future reference: the iphone should NOT be used as a storage device, things can & will happen. If you purchase content on your phone, ALWAYS File>Transfer Purchases as soon as possible. Likewise, your itunes library should be regularly backed up.

Ios7 - purchased music not showing up in purchased playlist!?!

I found recently that music that I purchase either on my computer or on my phone does not automatically show up on my purchased playlist? Any ideas as to why this is occuring or how to fix it?

Cant download latest version of Itunes.purchased music not playing on NANO.

the problem began when I purchased music on itunes. The songs transferred to the Nano but i wasnt able to play them. it would quickly show the song on the screen but it would revert back to the main menu. I was told the problem was that the software was out of date. So, I ran the new utility (star menu, all programs, ipod entry). tried to download the installer. I was only able to connect the ipod and restore it NOT update it to the latest version. Restoring it would erase all my music on my Nano. PROBLEM #1
went to apple.com and support and download latest Ipod nano software- it is telling me "the requested application was not found on this server". How do I fix this? I paid for this music and cant play it.

So, do you have all your purchased music on your PC? If so, restoring your Nano won't be a problem. The music will just get put back on it when the restore is finished and up update the nano again.
And you know, it's always best to have a backup in case of a hard disk crash....read some of the tales of woe here in discussions about that.

Purchased Music Not Playing on iPod but on iTunes

Before I start, I have had this problem before (6 months ago) and it resolved itself through some unknown fix (with the help of a Apple Genius Bar who had no idea what worked). The purchased songs - mine and others who use my computer - play fine in iTunes, and play from the iPod on a PowerBook, and plays purchased music loaded from a PowerBook - but will NOT play purchased songs when sync'd to my Windows laptop (I know. . .). I have restored, deauthorized, reauthorized, restored on PowerBook and then again on Window laptop. . . Still NO music. As it does for everyone else, it plays burned music. . . I am stumped. I am open to anything short of incantations. It does seem to have started soon after iTunes 7 was loaded. . .

I gave up with the glitch and got another iPod. . .

Purchased Music not going into that folder

Hi.....this may not be the correct place to post this.......anyway.....prior to iTunes 5, whenever I purchased songs from the Music store, all songs downloaded straight into the Purchased Music folder....now, with iTunes 5, they don't go into the Purchased Music folder, songs just end up in the library.....anyone experiencing this? I just like to keep all of the purchased music in that folder......I just drag them into the pm folder, but before iTunes 5 it was automatic and now it's not....also...the Purchased Music folder used to be green and placed just below the "Music Store"...now it is blue like a regular playlist and is placed alphabetically down with the "P's"......this all occurred after upgrading to iTunes 5.........thanks for any info on solving this.......

Dana:
As you can tell if you read through this forum, v5 is not without its little quirks.
To restore your Purchased Music playlist, go to iTunes preferences and select the Store pane. Then switch on the "Buy Using Shopping Cart".
Exit preferences and in the source menu, the Store icon has a little triangle next to it. Click on it, and there should now be two additional icons - "Shopping Cart" and "Purchased" (note the shortened name).
If there still isn't a purchased playlist, go to the iTMS and download a free track - the playlist will regenerate.
If you don't want to keep the shopping cart enabled, you can go back to preferences and turn it off. The Purchased playlist should now stay at the top of the source menu.

Purchased music not playing in ipod?!

I'm having a couple of problems with iTunes in general, but for now I will try to deal with the purchased music problem I'm having.
I've bought roughly 33 songs from the music store and after a computer "revamping", none of them are showing up in iTunes [along with all of my other songs, but that's another problem addressed here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=271018 ]. I bought another song since the "re-vamping" and it's the only song listed in my "purchased" folder under the "music store". I checked my "purchase history" and all of the roughly 33 songs are listed there! Now, I wouldn't normally worry about that- I moved the songs back into iTunes [into my library] and I can hear them perfectly BUT when I try to play them on my ipod they won't play. Now THAT is bothering me
I've looked around and after going through other threads and ipod support, I have no idea what to do. ANY help or insight would be helpful!!

You don't say whether or not your purchases are authorized. Purchases must be authorized in iTunes by playing one of them for a few seconds on the computer, before they will work on the iPod.

ITunes Music Download Issues - Purchased Music Not Displaying in iTunes

I am having trouble with iTunes. This is what the problem is:
1) Purchased music / TV from iTunes.
2) Paused downloads.
3) Closed iTunes.
4) Later re-opened iTunes
5) Went to Store > Downloads
When I do this, the media which I have purchased, but not yet downloaded is not listed. At the bottom of this screen, it reads "62 iTunes Downloads Available." When I click on the download button, or go to Store > Check for Available Downloads, I receive the error "Unable to check for available downloads: the iTunes store is temporarily unavailable."
This has been happening yesterday and today. On two seperate networks. And this is also happening for my wife, who receives the same error on her iMac.
The odd thing is that I CAN purchase new music. If I purchase an album right now, the purchase goes through and the download begins. This indicates that I AM connected to iTunes. However, if I pause the downloads, close iTunes, and try to resume the downloads later (or download items that have been purchased, but not downloaded), than iTunes is unable to make the connection to the store.
My internet connection is working just fine. And as I said, I am able to connect in certain circumstances, but not others. Any suggestions? This seems to be a software flaw.

I am having a similar problem. I purchased an iTunes Essential package but only half of the songs downloaded. I have the 34 iTunes songs are available for download in the download file but nothing happens when I click on the button, no error message, no nothing.
I have been in touch with Apple and have gotten their perfunctory responses all of which indicate that I have the problem not them. I asked for a refund for the songs purchased and billed but not received, but no response to that age old customer service solution.
The last fix from them was to backup my iTunes files uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it. If that doesn't work they offered to provide me with a phone number for a customer service call that I might have to pay for!! I have decided not to uninstall and reinstall the software. I'm madder than **** and I will continue to send them problem message after problem message for as long as it takes to get them to refund my money.
