Purchased Songs Do Not Show up in iTunes or on iPod

I switched my iTunes Library from a PC to a Mac using this method:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US
Before I added songs to my Mac, I bought some using iTunes. I then added my songs from my PC using the link above. When I went back to look up all my songs, the songs that I purchased on my Mac before adding my new songs from the windows were not there. Does anyone know why this is or how I can fix or retrieve my songs?

Did you follow these steps from the end of that article?
+*Add existing music on new computer back in*+
+If you already had some music on your new computer, and you want to incorporate it into the music you just moved from your old computer:+
+Choose File > Add to Library (Mac OS X) or Add Folder to Library (Windows).+
+Navigate to the iTunes folder on your Desktop.+
+Click Choose (Mac OS X) or OK (Windows).+
+Note: Information like ratings and play count are not preserved for these songs.+

  • Recently, U2 music appeared on my ipod without my requesting it or wanting it. I was able to delete all of the songs except for one. How do I delete the last one from my ipod? The song does not show up in iTunes when I plug my ipod into the computer.

  • Why is it that past purchased songs do not show up on my ITunes?

    Songs previously purchased over the years are not showing up in my purchased or are showing up as albums not currently in US store. I am assuming as I changed e-mail addresses through the years they used to follow me and would continue. I should not have to pay for previously purchased music.

    Content acquired via iTunes is permanently tied to the Apple ID it was acquired with.
    If the email address associated with the Apple ID was simply updated, this should be a non-issue.
    However, if a new Apple ID was created, there are no past purchases from previous Apple IDs associated with it.
    Sign in with and authorize the computer for those old Apple IDs.
    Download the content purchased with those old Apple IDs.
    STOP creating new Apple IDs simply because the email address has changed.

  • Family Sharing setup on both phones but the purchased songs do not show on member's device

    So I set everything up with both my phone and my wife's iPhone.  All the devices are updated to iOS8.  I set up Family Sharing, my wife accepted it.  The family calendar works perfectly.  BUT the music in (iTunes Purchased) that are listed on my phone do not show up in the my wife's phone. Everything is accepted but when I go to Music in her phone, I do not see the items I have purchased. I can see the 155 songs she has purchased, but I do not see my 255 songs that I have purchased and appear on my phone.  Seems like I'm missing something here.    Any thoughts ?

    Also, when I go to Purchased in the iTunes Store I do not see any family member (wife) for me to browse their collection.

  • Purchased music is not showing up on iTunes 11

    I am running Windows 7 and am having trouble with iTunes. I have updated my iTunes to 11 and my purchases are not showing up in the Library. When I do a search, the music and apps show up in the iTunes folder. I've tried re-launching iTunes and restarting my computer to no avail. Any music I do import from a CD does show up in my Library. Is there a fix to this or am I going to to have to reinstall iTunes to my computer? Please help if you can, thanks...

    Figured it out, looked for the individual songs and "draged" them from the folder to the iTunes library.

  • Songs are not showing up in iTunes library

    I have 1600 songs or so on my internal drive.  However, the iTunes library only shows 1600 songs.  They're all in the folders under the same My Music folder/directory on my C drive.  How do I get them to be visible in iTunes?
    If I was to delete the library, how would I:
    Get the songs to show in a new library?
    Preserve the playlists I have?
    Not delete the actual files, including all the apps my kids have purchased for their iTouches?
    Thanks for the help.

    Typo above ... only 1300 of the 1600 songs on my local drive show up in iTunes. 300 are physically on the drive but missing from the library. Sorry for the confusion.

  • Purchased content is not showing up in iTunes.

    My purchased content (TV Series and ebook) are not showin gup in iTunes. The record of my purchases is correct when I go to accounts. According to an earlier post there should be an option under accounts to hide or not hide but this does not show up for me. I have an Australian account - perhps this makes a difference.
    Apps purchased all seem fine.

    This allows the tv series to show up under TV Shows:

    But still nothing shows up under purchased.
    Also it seems that books have moved to ibooks.
    Would love to know what is going on.

  • Purchase Songs But Not Showing Apple ID

    Recently I purchased around 14 songs in iTunes for PC. But what amusing is, while i open 'get info' from songs I purchased, I didnt see apple id which I use for purchase songs or apps.
    Can we solve it? I just curious, just because in early this year, I also purchased 4 songs, but while i open 'get info', I can see apple id which I use for purchase.
    sorry for bad grammar.
    Thanks for your solutions.

    (sigh) you always seem to get the kinky ones, Casey. (weren't you one of the folks with one of those horrible itunes 5.0.x versions of the iPod Service Error?)
    it's kind of strange that it isn't showing up in Disk Management, even when it is in disk mode.
    let's check one more thing with the drive letter confusion possibility (before we start looking at weird database file issues and other exotica).
    while the ipod is disconnected, try doing a files and folders search for an "ipod_control" folder on all your attached drives.
    it's normally a hidden folder on the ipod, so you may need to get your PC to show hidden files and folders. in My Computer, go "Tools > folder options", and click on the "View" tab. "show hidden files and folders" is in the advanced options.

  • TS2753 a purchased song does not show my name on the info

    I purchased a song thru I-tunes and I cannot get it to play.  If I look at the info, it does not show who it was purchased by.  All of my other songs do and they play fine.

    The 'Purchased' music is just a special Playlist. You can create your own and drag the links into the 'Purchased' PL.
    Using the command CMD-J you can add the Purchase date to your list view - sort by date - drag the tunes to the 'Purchased' PL.

  • My songs are NOT showing up in iTunes

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, and i signed in to my iTunes account. But for some reason, when I click "Library" it automatically takes me to this page that says "Music" at the top then says "go to itunes store or scan for music." Also, when I'm in the iTunes store, i see my email, which is my user ID, so I know I'm signed in. Just my music is not showing up. (btw I already authorized my computer)
    Any advice?
    Thanks so much

    Have you tried restarting your Macbook, I have a macbook also and when I had that problem I just restarted it and all my music was back. )

  • Some of the Artist names are not showing up in iTunes or my iPod

    I have a couple of songs by Yanni on iTunes and my iPod Video (5th Generation). The songs are listed and so are the albums, but the artist name is not. I tried retyping the artist's name but that didn't work.
