Purchased songs disappear after new istall of windows

Hi
I've got a problem with iTunes since I reinstalled windows on my system. When I open the iTunes store only 3 of all my purchased songs appear, the rest isn't listed there. My download history however is correct, but I can't listen to those songs nor can I load them on my ipod (except those 3 songs). How can I "get back" the missing songs?
Thanks for helping

I just did a Windows re-install myself. Computer is lighting fast now! However, I experienced the same issue you describe. What I discoverd is that the "Purchased" folder is really just a playlist. All of your purchased songs should show up in the library as well.
I haven't figured out a way to add my purchased songs back to the purchased folder in bulk, but they can be added individually by drag/drop or right click/add to playlist. Because the purchased songs are mixed in with my ripped songs this is a pretty laborious process, but it works.
If you still only find the 3 songs in your library, I would suggest two other things. First right click on the purchased folder and select check for available downloads. This will ensure all of your purchased songs are on your hard drive. Second, make sure you have added the iTunes folder to your library. This is done by selecting File/Add Folder to Library. My iTunes folder is located in My Music so it came in when I added the My Music folder to my library.
Hope this helps.

  • Purchased song disappearing after a ITunes crash

    Hi, I recently just purchased The Veronicas - Untouched, in the middle of downloading my ITunes crashed and I had to restart Itunes, when I logged back into ITunes the song is not on my purchased list, nor has my ITunes attempted to re-download this song, if I go back into the ITunes Store and try it again, it asks me to buy the song once more.
    Could anyone try clear up whats gone wrong, as I won't pay for a song twice, it seems abit... pointless.
    Thanks in advance.

  • If i have songs on another computer, how can i get the purchased songs on my new computer

    I had Itunes on a computer of mine that will not turn on now, is there a way to get those purchased songs on my new computer?

    Copy them from your backup copy of your computer.
    If you failed to backup for some reason, transfer them from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
    If you are in the U,S use the newly released icloud.

    Launch iTunes on your Mac.
    From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer
    Then follow the instructions here > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchases.

  • Songs disappeared - iPod not recognized in Windows or iTunes

    Hi, I have had a 5th generation iPod for 8 months now and have a big problem:
    After I charged it in a wall plug, all the songs disappeared from my iPod. It has happened to me once in the past but the songs then reappeared... don't know how that happened. Now, songs are all gone and Windows and iTunes won't recognize my iPod. I have reset it and since then, the screen keeps changing from the main menu to the Apple logo and then back to the main menu. My iPod will then be recognized in Windows for a few seconds, while the main menu is displayed on the screen, and then disappear. I have put it into disk mode and only then will Windows recognize it, but not iTunes. I have then restarted the iPod Service via Computer Management but once I reset my iPod to remove it from the disk mode, it continued changing from the main menu to the Apple logo. Since the problem seems to be with my iPod and not with iTunes, I have not tried to delete iTunes and reinstall it.
    Thanks for your help!!

    this is the error message I get when I run an ipod diagnostics:

  • 90% of pictures disappeared after new program. Time machine folders mostly empty. Downloaded my Carbonite file. Can I restore directly from this file or do I have to drag and drop 20,000 pix?

    90% of pictures disappeared after adding Maverick. My Time Machine folders were in the right order but mostly empty so useless for restore. Repair and rebuild attempts were not effective. Downloaded my Carbonite file which is now sitting on my desktop. Is there any way to use the restore command to rebuild my portfolio or do I have to drag & drop approx 20,000 pictures? Can album groupings and faces be retained?

    Do you still have the original library that was present at the time you upgraded to Mavericks?  If so apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Purchased ringtones disappeared after update to IOS 8.1.1 on iPhone 5c

    Hello,
    could someone help me? I purchased some ringtones from store a week ago, but after update to IOS 8.1.1 all bought songs disappeared from my iPhone 5c.
    The songs I bought before I visit in store and I can bought and pay it again. Where is the problem?
    Thank you.

    I have same issue.  I have done the checklist from iMore website -- all techniques do not work.  I followed the steps, but the "remove and sync" does not appear.  I also did "restore from backup"; still did not work.  The ringtones were NOT restored on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.1). 
    Apple will have to do another update to fix this issue and refund the purchase.

  • Release Tab in purchase order disappear after release using ME29n

    Hi there,
    We are busy testing support stacks (upgrading from ECC6 SAP_APPL SAPKH60305 to SAPKH60307)and we've come accross a strange problem.  When we create a normal purchase order (ME21n) the purchase order does pick up a release strategy.  Using the older ME28 transaction to release this purchase order, everything is fine.  We can use ME28 to release the purchase order, as well as unreleasing the purchase order, as often as we want (the same purchase order).  When we use transaction ME29n the release tab in the purchase order just simply disappears after saving.  In the purchase order header changes, the release change is visible, but the release tab is missing.  This purchase order is now not subject for release, and a goods receipt is possible without release.  I checked in table EKKO as well and the release fields in this table for this purchase order is empty.
    Has anybody had a similar experience?  Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Christo Vermeulen

    Hi Christo Vermeulen,
    I have detected the same problem as reported by you. Did you solve it? Do you know how can I procedure to solve it?

    Unless you're able to restore them from the hard drive, you'll need to either do so from a backup or reload them from the original source.

  • Purchased music disappeared after Match turned off?

    Ok so for various reasons I have turned off Match for my iPhone 5 and synced my physical music library onto my phone (4024 songs), however i've discovered that none of my purchased music or playlists will sync to my phone. All the said purchased music has been unchecked and check again on my iTunes library, and the iPhone menu on itunes has 4024 songs checked to be synced. When I do sync the phone however only 2745 songs actually transfer to the phone, the remainder are my purchased songs. I have only had this issue since the ios7 update. Anyone help?

    There is no message in my inbox nor the notification center. Maybe I turned the phone off while it was downloading the message?

  • Purchased audiobooks disappeared after syncing with new MacBook Pro

    I had my iPhone synced with a Windows laptop which got really slow and decided to replace it with a MacBook Pro. In between the last sync with the laptop and the first sync with the MacBook Pro I had bought a couple of audiobooks through the iTunes Store. After syncing the iPhone with the new Macbook everything was fine except the audiobooks which we gone. Originally I thought it would work as with the apps from the AppStore that I could download them again free of charge by just giving my apple ID and password. However this was not the case. Can someone please help me with this as losing these audiobooks would suppose a more considerable loss of money compared to just apps.
    Thank you,
    Arne

    You should have transferred the purchases to your computer: File>Devices>transfer Purchases
    At this point, all you can do is contact itunes support, explain your situation, and hope they grant a redownload.
