"Purchased" playlist it doesn't download

So fairly recently, I tried to sync my iPod touch. However, when I was syncing it my "Purchased" playlist will not sync. It will sync every other playlist but THAT ONE. It is really annoying because all of my new music is on THAT particular playlist. I haven't a clue why it isn't downloading the playlist. Can anyone help?

Do the songs play in iTunes on the computer?
Is there anything different about the songs that do sync and those that do not?
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only)

I downloaded an album, but it only shows up in the purchased playlist section

So I downloaded an album from iTunes and when I search my library it comes up as I'm typing it in, but when I hit enter to pull it up there is nothing. I doesn't exist under Albums, Artists only in the Purchased Playlist

I have a Smartplay list called "Recently Added", created by a list of the last 25 items most recently added.
I sometime find things I've purchased or copied in there.
If it is not there,
Choose, “iTunes Store” on the left.
Choose “Purchased” on the right.
Choose, “All Songs” or a specific album.
Choose your previous purchase
Download

Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

HT3951 How do I download a purchased album that doesn't show in my library but is'downloaded' on itunes?

I have a purchased album that didn't download to my library, but is marked as downloaded on itunes purchases.

Sometimes things have inconsistent labeling. Check your Recently Added playlist.

When you are viewing the tracks on the hard disc, did you then click on "Import CD"? This is needed to initiate the importing process that will add the tracks to your library.

I just purchased an iPad 3 and it works great with most of my email accounts, but with an imap account from school it will download the content of the folders in the account, but doesn't download the messages in the inbox.

Hi,
I just purchased an iPad 3 and it works great with most of my email accounts, but with an imap account from school it will download the content of the folders in the account, but doesn't download the messages in the inbox. I have deleted and created the account several times. I have checked the status of the account and it's active and works either from safari or from my Mac or iPhone. I have turned off both my Mac and my iPhone as not to have competing devices, I can even send emails from the account successfully. It simply won't download the content of the inbox. Help!

Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this! I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did. Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
The lesson learned, never assume - always double check! All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
Cheers

Why can't I purchase movies on my iPad? When I hit buy it doesn't download.

Ok. That's strange. The download should show up immediately in the lower right. Even if it is stuck, you will se the red number. So something is blocking the purchase. Take a look at setting, restrictions, and see if something there is turned on that might be blocking you.

When I download an app after purchasing it doesn't download and there is a loading symbol beside the next button.

In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.

I purchased fx but it doesn't download

I purchased the new fx pack for the djay2 app and paid £2.99 but it doesn't download. It keeps saying restore purchases. When I click on restore purchases, I put my apple I.d in then that's it. Back to where I started.
Does anyone know what's going on.
Kind regards.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have to download the purchased music, because now you can only listen to purchased music from iCloud. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

I purchased Lion and they billed me ..but it doesn't download?

Go to App Store and to Purchases. Download click the mark with a cloud and an arrow next to the OSX Lion. It should start downloading. If it still doesn't work, ask Apple, but first try downloading it.

I've just enabled match and now my new purchases do not show up on my i tunes account. i can only play them buy going in to purchased 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.

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!

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....

Why does my itunes generated "purchased" playlist differ between different computers for the same library?

One computer (my newer one with Lion) doesn't have any music before 7/2008 included as "purchased" but still has all the music in the general library that the other computer has listed in the "purchased" playlist (going all the way back to 2006) automatically generated by itunes. The other computer (the one with the correct purchased playlist) only has snow leopard but apparently can still work with the cloud as it has all the new downloads/purchases that have been completed on the other computer. Is this related to the Itunes plus thing - are all the songs before 7/2008 or whatever the date is not itunes plus and that's why they are not showing up as purchased in one computer? I think I can fix this by creating a special playlist of my own to sync between the two of them, but it would be nice to have both purchased lists be accurate for the synced library. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

You can transfer iTunes content from an iTunes library on a single computer only.
Since these songs were purchased with the same iTunes account, you can download the song that is not in your iTunes library on the computer you will be syncing your iPhone with. Or you can download the song or songs direct on your iPhone.

Help: iTunes completely reset itself, eliminating half of my purchased playlist, deleting all my podcast files, etc. No idea why this happened and how can I fix it?

Hello.
I did not touch my computer the past week, I've only been messing with my laptop. I had my computer off a whole day. I turn it on, open iTunes, and everything is gone.
I system restore. Everything is gone. None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there. My iPod itself is fine. I restore back to current settings, still, everything gone.
I plug my iPod in. I don't think it took anything off my iPod, but even without syncing, it eliminated a ton of the songs on my iPod from my 'purchased' playlist. Now, these songs will not transfer back over to iTunes because iTunes is not recognizing them as official songs. Is there a link to download/redownload your past purchases again? I was trying to find that but had no luck. (Also my iTunes purchase history is incorrect and has at least 1 omitted song I paid for, but that is another story for another day). I want these songs to transfer to my library so I can put them on a future iPod I bought.
I do things the legal way, I do not illegally get any music. I've bought 800 to 1000 songs from iTunes over the year (now that is a lot of money). Now my iPod is listing it as only 600 and some. This is my second iPod and the second time I've had major issues with the iPod just going crazy on me. I won't stick with Apple if I get screwed out of songs I have paid for.
Anyways, from what I have described, does anyone know what is up? Directions on where to go to download all past purchases? Ideas?
The only potentially bad thing I've done with iTunes at all is I delay updating it as long as possible. I hadn't updated the most recent update for a few months now. Still, that is no reason for the system to go ape **** on me. I am fairly certain at this point that *all* my songs are still on my iPod, but as I said, if this one all of a sudden died or I wanted to get a new one, I'm looking at half my actually bought songs being non-transferrable.
Thanks for any response.

Backup, backup, backup...

Is your laptop a different computer than your computer?
You have two computers?
iTunes is missing everything from which one/both?
I system restore. Everything is gone. None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there.
Do you mean you reinstalled the system from scratch?
Yes, that tends to delete everything.
Or you restored everything from a backup?
Directions on where to go to download all past purchases?
Selete Store on the left side of iTunes.
Make sure you are signed in.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick links to redownlaod your purchases.
Then make sure to regularly backup, backup, backup all your important data .
