Purchased Music playist missing

My Purchased Music Playlist is missing from the "Store" menu. Please help.

Just create a smart playlist where 'Kind' contains 'Protected'.
That will make a playlist of all your purchased music and will continue to do so as you buy more. It won't however look like the green playlist that was there before, nor will it sit below the Store.

ITunes purchased music now missing...

I have purchased music from itunes, entire cd's, and now the music is missing from my library. The file is there, but it has an ! next to it. When I try to play the songs, it states that the file cannot be located. I have gone to my "purchased" items in the iTunes store, and nothing is listed for download. This has happened to more than 1 cd - and it is frustrating because they were purchased through iTunes so there is no "hard copy" to reload from. I have tried completely deleting iTunes and re-installing it to no avail. Can someone please tell me where my music is, how to get it back - and why it is disappearing in the first place? This is music I paid iTunes for - so am not sure why iTunes is taking it away, so to speak...... VERY frustrating and annoying.

I have tried this. The songs are not listed there. These are albums that I have purchased through my iPhone. For some reason- they keep going missing from my iTunes library. Same Apple ID, no changes. The weird thing is- only some of the songs from the albums are missing. So it's not the entire album in all cases, but it is in others. I completely wiped my computer of iTunes, redownloaded it, and started over. The songs were there. Now- 4 days later- they are missing again. This is SO annoying! It's not like these are songs I ripped from someone else - I paid for these through iTunes. Why do they keep disappearing and re-apearing? Is there anyway to save them in a different format on my computer if I can ever get them back again? This deleting and reloading is getting old... I even tried the "repair" option when downloading iTunes. That doesn't bring the music back. This is so weird.. I've never had any issues before....

Why has my purchased music gone missing

Hi i recently synced my iphone 4 and realised that most of my music has gone missing. After usiing itunes the same day I was trying to play tracks in my library and got a message saying orignal file could not be found. As I looked through the list of tracks I could not play I realised it was all the music I had purchased from itunes that was unable to be played. I do use a shared computer so I cannot say if any changes were made but have been sharing the computer for 2 years now and nothing like this has happened before.

Delete the songs and redownload them:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Hope this helps.

Iphone purchased music goes missing after sync with iTunes?

Also, this music is no longer showing up as purchased in my itunes account either. It is in library so it isn't truly missing but it is creating a mess for me.

Purchased Music is Missing

Music I had purchased from the itunes store does not show up in itunes any more. It it is not in the itunes library folder anymore also. Any suggestions on what might have happened.

I concur w/ roders: Yes, I have the tunes in "music"; however, none of my purchases are in the "Purchased" log in the iTunes Store on my account. I found the downloads from iTunes os7 to os8 good; however, iTunes Store did/does not show anything in the Purchased file. (What am I doing incorrectly?)
Please look into this for me; because, when updating to 10.8, I "clean installed".
{Mountain Lion overwise seems exellent!! Thank you.}

My purchased music is missing. Itunes store shows I've "purchased" them but I can't find the songs anywhere.

I was forced to restore my phone, I purchased a ton of songs from my Iphone and they are now gone. What can I do to get these back? Is there anyway to re-download these without paying again?

I even tried to re-purchase the song and I can't. It just says purchased. I don't know what to do!! Annoying.

Only purchased music in library

I don't know what has changed, but all my non-purchased music is missing from my library.

Songs missing from purchased music but are in library?

I just got a new Macbook Air and uploaded my itunes music via flash drive. I also exported/imported my playlists. I just noticed that my purchased music playlist is missing the first 22 songs however, they are in my library. Any ideas why this would happen and how to fix it other than manually putting the songs back into that playlist?

The "purchased" playlist is automatically generated only when purchases are made on any particular computer and those purchases are automatically added to it. It is not a Smart Playlist that automatically picks up old purchases if you transfer the library to a new computer. You can easily drag-n-drop anything you want into the playlist, though.

HT203167 My purchase music from iTunes is missing tracks. missing tracks are not showing in the purchased tab in iTunes

I cannot recover My itnes purchased music from the recovery section. more than half the tracks are missing in the Camilo sesto 20 exitos.

I have the same problem - they AREN'T hidden. They aren't visible on computer, iPad or iPhone with match on. Obviously something screwed in the purchase history. Even if I have backups they will count against the 25,000 track limit for iTunes in the cloud - which is a bit of an issue as I have 24,997 non-purchased track already.
A bit of an issue for someone who's bought a lot from iTunes over the years - and not helped by being unable to get an answer from support. Oddly if I switch match off a few of them become available.
Any suggestions - apart from contact support (I'm still waiting) - appreciated

I had'nt used iTunes for quites sometime, opened the music library and previously purchased music and impoerted content is missing.

Missing purchased music on new ipad

When I look at the "music" on the ipad, it says there is no music on the ipad. When I choose "music not on this ipad" all the music appears, with little clouds next to each song. If I choose "download," the songs download and then they appear with the little clouds next to each song and the ipad still shows that it has no music on it.
The music shows up on the iphone and the ipod touch, but not on the ipad.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offfer.

So maybe I should rephrase this question. I have a 4th gen. 64 g ipod touch, an iphone 4, an ipad mini. I used to be able to sync and back up to my old PC, but before i bought the ipad mini, it died. I was given a mac ibook, but the latest OS it will run is 10.5.8 - it's not an intel. None of the devices will show up on it.
I can't get the music that is in the cloud and on my touch and phone on to the ipad. I try to download it, it processes, showing a blue bar as it's downloading onto the ipad, but when it's done and I go look for the song, the little cloud is next to it and there's nothing in the library when I choose "music" on the ipad.
If I were to buy itunes match, would the music automatically sync among all my devices or would I still have to buy an intel-or-better mac to listen to itunes-purchased music on all my devices?

Missing purchased music

hi,
i purchased music directly unto my ipad last week, i checked over the weekend and its all gone. i ve been billed for it cos when i go to my itunes account the bill is displayed there. can anyone tell me what has happened? i never transfered it to my pc

If you connected your iPad to another computer and somehow synced it to a different account, your music would have been removed. You are in luck though since the iTunes store allows redownloading of music now. Open up the iTunes app and click on the "purchased" button. You should check to see that your iPad iOS and your install of iTunes are up to date. Movies and TV shows still do not allow redownloading so you will want to be more careful in the future with this sort of content. There is also a setting in iTunes and on all iOS devices now to download content purchased on other devices. If you turn this on for all your devices and iTunes, you will find your music already available when you switch between them.

Missing Purchase Music

I reloaded my computer and have all of my music in existing folder structures on my PC. I was able to connect to Apple and bring down my purchased music again but then was asked if I wanted iTunes to manage my folders for me or not. I said "yes" and that's when my purchased music disappeared. I've since uninstalled iTunes / reinstalled. Removed new iTunes folder structure that was created when i said "yes" and still "no luck". Now when I try to get my purchase music again it says you already downloaded it to this machine

"Make a smart playlist where Kind is something like Protected AAC audio file.
I did this and was able to drag my protected content into the Purchase Music folder successfully.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Upgrade to 6.0.4 lost All purchased music et al...

went to 6.0.4 from some flavor of 5 and now No purchased music At All,
also about 1/3 of my library is gone also
curious that....
tried the usual trashing prefs etc to no avail

Are the lost tracks still listed, but with a question mark? If so, you could try a script like iTunes Track CPR v1.3 to have iTunes see them again.
If they are completely missing from itunes, check to see if the music is truly lost. Use Spotlight to search for mp4 files to look for your purchased music or mp3 to search for your mp3 files. You could also manually look through ~Music/iTunes/iTunes Music to see what files are there.
