Purchased playlist won't be renamed

My "Purchased" playlist is blank where it should say "purchased". It won't give an option to rename it when I right-click, and it doesn't do anything when I double-click slowly.
PS it still plays the songs fine though, it just doesn't have a name.

"Since updating computer..."
What did you update? The OS? iTunes?
have you played any of the purchased music on this computer since the "update"? Often you need to do that to remind iTunes that it is, in fact, allowed to play these tunes.

I am downloading music from itunes it shows on my purchased playlist but when i try to transfer it onto a specific playlist it won't transfer across what do i need to do

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.

Music that I have already bought won't show up in iTunes - no purchased playlist

I have an iPhone 4s, I have bought almost 70 songs from iTunes previously and they show up ina purchased playlist on my phone, but when I try to download them they keep on saying downoad error, tap to retry, and they wont play in my library.
Besides that, I can't get my purchased songs to show up in iTunes either, there is no purchased option in my playlists.
I'm signed in to the same account that i purchased the songs from.
Everything should be working fine and it's not.

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.

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 .

HT201272 I can't find my music in my purchased playlist

I purchased four tracks yesterday, but i'm unable to fine them in my purchased playlist.
Can anybody help me?

It looks like it was pulled from the store (iMame pulled) - unless you still have a copy of it somewhere then you won't be able to sync it to your device, it's no longer possible to download it.

I have an ipod touch 4th generation and have just recently downloaded the new update. I was wondering why the videos that I had added in my playlist won't show up.

I have an ipod touch 4th generation and have just recently downloaded the new update. I was wondering why the videos that I had added in my playlist won't show up. Is there anyway that I could get my videos to appear in my playlist? They are still in my ipod in the video section, but just won't appear in my playlist.

iOS6 problems aplenty ....not sure if the link I inserted is working or not, but the issue is a lot more prevalent - the issue being that what shows up & plays in iTunes after the iOS6 update is not what shows up (& plays) on the device itself. This may go beyond just the iPod Touch as well.
In my case I can see & play both audio & video files in my Playlist through iTunes, but can only see the Playlists on the iPod Touch with ALL of them being empty. Syncing numerous times no help. Contacting Apple Tech. Support no help - they suggested downloading my Purchases from the iTunes Store - waste of time, did not make a difference. It is clear Apple needs to release a fix to OS6.
Another problem I noticed on the device is that the Shuffle option is hidden on the built-in Songs Playlist, having to swipe the screen down to see it - dumb dumb dumb.

My itunes playlists won't let me drop any songs into them.

my itunes 9 playlists won't let me drop any songs into them. If I try to drag a song from my library and drop it, the playlist won't highlight. So strange. This just started happening. Any thoughts?

When I go into Payment Method it says "Paypal is not supported on this device. To manage or change your payment method, go to the iTune Store on your computer. Then in "Red" it says "There's a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please enter another payment method." I have went into the iTune store and have changed my payment method and also called Paypal and my account has no problem. It still keeps getting this same message when I try to purchase an app.

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.

Songs I have purchased on iTunes are not showing up in my Purchased playlist but are in my iTunes library

This has only been happening since updating my iPhone 5 to the new IOS 7.0.2 software and it has duplicated a new purchased playlist on my iTunes library. I have tried syncing the iPhone to my computer but still no luck they are not showing up in my purchased playlist.
In saying that, some songs I purchase do show up in the playlist but others don't or only half of an album shows even though I have downloaded the whole thing. It is driving me crazy!! Has anyone else got this problem and what did they do to sort it?
Thanks!

Hi samfergs,
I'm not sure how the Purchased Playlist decides what to put into it, but if you want to see all of your purchased items, then you need to go to the iTunes Store, and on the right side, under Quick Links, click on Purchased.
Then, click on the Music (or whatever other purchased items tab you want to look at). If you are looking at Music, click on All Songs, and then on "All" or "Not on this Computer" (depending on what you want to see).
Cheers,
GB

Cannot move songs from 'Purchased' playlist on my iPod (touch 8gb)

Soooooo I've purchased a handful of songs on my ipod touch and I cannot move them back to iTunes or to another playlist.
They are all listed in the Purchased playlist from the device.
Only one shows in the Purchased on [device] under Store in iTunes.
Also, they show up under the playlist in iTunes I moved them to but not on my iPod.
I've updated my iTunes software and my iPod, as well, without progress.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if there is a larger issue at hand.
Thanks for reading

Are the chapters of the podcasts separated as individual files or are they a part of a single large file?

I bought a new laptop and can access my itunes library but when i try to add purchased playlist songs to my ipod message appears asking if I'm ok with erasing all other songs on the ipod. Help needed.

wow ... I get a headache just trying to read what you just said. I went and read how to migrate my library and found that you can only migrate purchased media.
No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.

Is there a way to filter out TV shows when looking at the "purchased" playlist?

I have playlist highlighted on the top of itunes and the I see the music box showing up. On the lft hand side I selected the "purchased " playlist, but included in that are the the TV Shows I have purchased for my son. So when I play and hit shuffle, every once in a while a TV show will start up

Hello JordoF25,
You can go about this in a couple of different ways depending on what you are wanting out of it.
First you can highlight everything but the TV Shows in the Purchased playlist and add to them to a playlist.
"Create a playlist
Choose File > New > Playlist.
Type a name for the playlist.
To add items, drag them to the playlist on the right side of the iTunes window.
When you’re finished adding items, click Done."
From: Create a playlist
https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePath=English.lproj# itns2943
Or you can create a new smart playlist with criteria to grab all your Purchased content, and set the criteria to exclude the TV Shows.
Create a Smart Playlist
Choose File > New > Smart Playlist.
Specify your rules.
To add another set of rules, hold down the Option key and click the Nest button. (When you hold down the Option key, the Add button changes to the Nest button.)

Issues with purchases not showing up in Purchased Playlist.

Over the past week or so i have have noticed that my purchases are not showing up in my Purchased playlist on my iOS devices. They are syncing across devices but only being put under "Songs." I know i can manually add them to my Purchased playlist but that is such a pain. Anyone else having this issue?
I am currently working on restoring my iPhone 5S to see if this helps but again this is a huge pain.

Do you have automatic downloads turned on? I think it's under iTunes menu >> preferences >> store. Maybe turn on showing purchases in the cloud showing too.
Could also click iTunes Store >> purchases (under quick links) >> music. Does the missing music show there with cloud and down arrow?
