Purchased songs not showing up in "purchased music" after computer migratio

I recently had an imac stolen that had a dozen or so songs on it that I had purchased through the iTunes store. Since then, I've obtained a replacement imac (now running 10.5.1 cf. 10.4.11 before), deauthorized the old imac, authorized the new one and restored my files from a Retrospect backup. While my purchased music files still exist, and show up in the library they no longer appear under the "purchased music" selection. Is there a trick to getting them to be recognized as purchased songs?
Thanks in advance,
alan

I purchased a track, it appears on my iphone 5s okay but isn't anywhere on my itunes. there isn't anything in Purchsed under iStore.
I had my iphone plugged in when I purchsed the track, so should have been on both iphone and itunes, much like purchasing an app.
Any ideas?
have IOS 7.1 loaded, is this a known issue (to us not apple)?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release].

  • A movie i purchased does not show up in  the download after it suddenly stopped while downloading over half way through

    a movie i purchased does not show up in  the download after it suddenly stopped while downloading over half way through.. help!

    I totally agree, I am not going to discredit your comment as everyone is entitled to their opinion as I am BUT, I will not bad mouth other members, especially since  may have not have written my initial statement in a logical manner so Ill try and answer them in order to your response.
    1. I DO LIKE iTunes in general and on the whole  BUT I dislike the new update, iTunes 11, it has completely buggered everything up.
    2. Prior to the update, everything worked brilliantly, including Apple TV. It was user friendly and was easy to use. The new update is counter-intuative and is hard to find, fix anything and as I have had to find out at my cost, reset my Apple TV and start downloading all over again. So let me reaffirm, it is iTunes11 I find hard to fathom, not the old iTunes.
    3. No I am not a developer but I have been using PC's for over 20 years so I do know how one works.
    4. Good Question about who would help me, again, it is someones opinion against someone elses. One day, I may write something that generally people agree with, another they may not, depends on the subject.
    5. " I do not love Apple" ?yet I have an iPhone 4s, iPad and Apple TV, find that an illogical comment!
    6. I have made a General Search on the forums on the subject and the general consensus is that the new update is one update to far.
    7. Oh, I am not a genius otherwise I would have solved the issue in the first place!
    Just to re-iterate, I am not bad mouthing Apple in general, all I am saying is that iTunes 11 is one update to far and I am not the only one saying it.... some have gone a lot further than I have, again, their opinion and who am I to argue with them as I have an opnion as you do and I will most deffinatly not bad mouth a member because I disagree with them for the above reason, debate it, yes, not belittle them.
    Hope these have cleared up my initial statement?

  • Previously purchased songs NOT showing as purchased in the itunes store. I dont want to re-buy something I already have. How can I get this fixed?

    Ive got quite a few songs. I dont want to rebuy one ive already got. Why are my songs not showing as purchased in store like they once did? How do I solve this issue?

    Hi,
    Go to song view, add iCloud status. To do this, go to menu > view > view options and tick box. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, duplicate, ineligible or waiting. As the scan is stalling with one track remaining, find this track - it is likely to have a icloud status of waiting.
    Suggest that you delete from library then select update iTunes Match. Once match completes try readding track - by the way how. Big is the track and whatever is its media type?

  • Songs not showing up in the Music folder but in a playlist

    Hi,
    Something weird is happening with iTunes.
    Just before upgrading to 10.5, I had a problem where after opening a M3U playlist from the finder, the playlist was added as a regular playlist.
    I can play the songs, when I go in the Get Info of the file, I can see that the file has been copied to the iTunes Music folder.
    But when I look for the new imported songs from the top Music Folder, then the songs don't show up.
    I opened the iTunes Library XML file and the songs are correctly listed.
    Any idea?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, just to clarify, this is my problem:
    When I double click on a song from my computer, it plays in iTunes, but it is not copied into my music library. Also, when I import a audio cd, it imports but does not show up in the music library, nor can I click and drag it there or to my Iphone. In the past clicking on these tracks would automatically save it in my library. I noticed this problem last week perhaps after upgrading to iTunes 10.1.2.
    Any help or advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

  • Songs not showing up in device music folder, but showing up in playlists

    Hi everybody, total newbie here. Appreciate any help or advice.
    I just tried to import an audio CD to iTunes and it says it has completed importing, but it doesn't show up in my iTunes music library. I tested by trying to play an mp3 file with iTunes, but it doesn't seem to work.
    Furthermore, when I connect my iPhone to my MacBook Pro, I can't see any of my 2000 or so songs. However when I click on my playlists, I can see the music there. Also, when I disconnect my iPhone, my music and playlists on the iPhone are still intact.
    I noticed that the last time I was able to import music was January 26, a couple of days before the 10.1.2 upgrade. Do you think this has anything to do with it?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Purchased apps not showing up as 'purchased' on new ipad air

    Hey guys,
    I just bought an Ipad Air 16 GB Wifi. I planned to restore backup from my earlier Ipad, but that was causing some problems, so I set up as a new Ipad with my original Apple Id that I use on all my Apple devices. Now the apps are not showing up as 'purchased' and it says that I have to buy them again. I don't know what to do. I've tried all reset options too. Kindly help me!

    You need to contact Apple directly.  This will get you started but I fully epect that they'll refer you elsewhere - 800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

  • Purchased songs not showing in library

    I have purchased and downloaded songs from I Tunes store onto my laptop. They show in Puchased library but do not show in Music library
    I have tried dragging them to Music library to no avail
    Anybody help?

    Make sure that the songs you purchased aren't in the music library for real. Close iTunes and restart the computer open it back up again and see if this works...if not tell me and give me time to think and I'll get right back with you.

  • Purchased song not showing in itunes library

    Earlier today I purchased several songs today, and one of the songs that I bought was showing up under purchased playlist in my library, but not actually in my library if that makes sense. It was also showing up in the purchased section in the itunes store. I tried deleting the song and hopefully being able to redownload it but it was still showing up as if it was in my library. I even tried hiding the purchase and then unhiding it but when I did that it still showed up in the purchased section as if it was in my library. Is there a way to change this?

    Hello toi_va,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing or describing. If you are having issues finding this particular song, even after redownloading, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • HT5622 Recently Purchased Songs Not Showing Up In Cloud

    So I got a new computer for my birthday and decided to put on Itunes for me and my girlfriend to use. I have a huge library so I wanted to get it all redownloaded from itunes. I downloaded my songs from the cloud and noticed many were missing (recently purchased songs that I had bought over the summer, now its winter).
    I know the songs are still in the cloud: Lindsey Stirling "Shadows" (example) yet it says I havent purchased it...but I know I have...
    Why does itunes say I haven't purchased them and why am I not getting them back?

    on the computers itunes click on the iTunes Store.
    then click Purchased under quick links on the right.
    you can then select Not In My Library and download anything you're missing from there.

  • Purchased songs not showing up for download

    Not sure why but some songs I purchased recently on my laptop (Macbook Pro OS X 10.7, iTunes 11) are not available for download on my desktop (Win XP, iTunes 11). Previously, I'd been able to download stuff on both machines, but now when I go to Store->Check for Available Downloads, I get nothing, and under my Purchased Songs, I don't see the little cloud button to download it. Am I missing something?

    Nevermind. I was looking in the wrong place. Found it in the store under purchases.

  • Getting Purchased Songs to show up in "Purchased Songs" list

    Purchased new computer and have opened iTunes and imported my entire library into iTunes (library is on an external disk). Only some of my purchased songs showed up under Store/Purchased. The purchased songs are in the library, they are just not listed under "Purchased" as well. Any way to fix this?

    Actually, it's pretty easy to do this. I'm having the same issue but not because I have a new computer. Check out this article:
