Purchases are not listed as purchases

I recently started to use Itunes again (after my original computer stuffed up), on it I had 253 songs of which about 50 were purchased songs, and many more from CDs etc. I also had them backed up onto a USB, now I managed to get all of the music off the Ipod nano and into Itunes then I went about trying to back all the music up onto a external hard drive, and thought about moving the Itunes media library original location.
I then found out that I had many duplicates of my songs, I then proceeded to fix that problem when I the noticed that the 50 songs that I had purchased are not recognised as purchases in Itunes but are still on my Ipod and can still play. It is the only place where I can find them.
Also when connected to Itunes a error message pops up saying that the 50 songs in question cannot be synced to the Ipod because they cannot be found
How can I transfer my 50 purchased songs from my Ipod to Itunes when they arent listed as being purchased in the first place.
Help with this would be awesome.
Thankyou.

Past purchases are not showing as "purchased" in the itunes store

ok the other day i bought 10 songs from the itunes store, all from different albums. 2 of the albums i have decieded to buy, and of course we all know that it is sometimes cheaper to use the "buy album" option rather than buying all the songs individually.....well when i went to "buy" these albums i get the message that i will be purchasing songs already purchased and that i will now have "duplicates" of the "previously purchased" songs. i dont want that as you all can understand....i normally get the message that the songs previously purchased will not be downloaded when i buy albums that i had previously bought songs off of.....some of the other songs that i purchased in this "batch" are showing as "purchased" in the itunes store. it is just the songs off of those 2 albums that are not showing as purchased....now i do want to point out that all the songs downloaded just fine, just some of them dont show as purchased. any idea as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

Hello stuartfromwillenhall,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It appears that you want to download some previous purchases from iTunes. To download these items please see the directions in the article below.

HT201272 My previous app purchases are not listed in itunes

I purchased apps in iTunes. I had an accident and my iPhone broke. I got a replacement and was able to restore my fotos and contacts, but I can not find my old apps that I purchased thru iTunes. please advise how to find them to sync to my new iPhone and iPad. Thank you.

Did you make sure you also used your old AppleID with the new phone? Purchases are permanently tied to an AppleID.

Purchased songs not listed as purchased

About a year ago, I bought a couple of songs off itunes. Recently, I wanted to buy the rest of the album. When I got to the page, I noticed that the itunes store showed no evidence of me buying them in the first place(including on my "purchased" list). I sifted through my emails and found that I had indeed purchased them, as there are receipts from itunes detailing the transactions. How do I fix this?

Okay, so after some more poking around it showed up in my "purchased" list, but for some reason the song in the "purchased" list says it's not available in the U.S. store(even though I bought it using the U.S. store). Not sure how this happened, but it did.

Many songs I purchased are not in my "purchased" folder and not in ICloud. Why?

Where did they go and can I retrieve them somehow. I've spent a lot of money over time and don't want to have to re-purchase them.

You will need to contact support. Audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded using your purhcase page. Sorry about your lost iPhone by the way.

I recently had to get a new computer, my list of audible books is there but can't open because original file cannot be found. how do I find them or redownload them when they are not in my purchased list anymore?

I recently had to purchase a new computer, after doing so I no longer can open my audible books. the list is there, but I get an error message telling me that the original file cannot be found. How can I redownload them when they are not in my purchased list anymore when I go to the Apple Store??

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

Previously deleted songs have greyed out "Purchased" buttons, and the items are not in the "Purchases" list.

I have several songs I deleted on an unknown date that I want to redownload. As I stated in the title, the songs I am looking for are not in my "Purchases" list, and when I search for the album the song is in the song has a greyed-out "Purchased" button. I get the same result on my iPhone, which was bought long after I deleted these songs (I assume).

It is possible that you may have deleted the tunes.

HT5085 I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list. I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads.

My purchased videos are not listed in my iTunes purchased list. How do I re download?

Films and/or TV programmes cant be redownloaded in all countries. If some show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad but not all then have you changed countries since buying them, are they still in yoru country's store, and are any hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If you can't redownload them then do you have copies of them on your computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync them back to your iPad ?

HT201272 Followed the directions on this page. Books are not listed among the options at step five, only movies tv shows and music, so how do I download my books then? I previously purchased two audiobooks on iTunes. They are available on my iPad, but no

Followed the directions on this page. Books are not listed among the options at step five, only movies tv shows and music, so how do I download my books then? I previously purchased two audiobooks on iTunes. They are available on my iPad, but not here.

If you go into Edit > Preferences then on the General tab on the popup that you get you should be able to select which types of content 'show' - tick the box against 'Books' :
Books then show under your 'Library' - if you select it, are those audiobooks listed there ?

If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

TS1702 When I backed up my ipad because I thought I had a problem with it in which I didnt, I went to restore my ipad and now some of my app that I had purchased are not there, the free version is on my Ipad and Icloud but not the purchased version?

I thought I had a problem with my Ipad in which I didnt, so I backed up my Ipad and restored it, but now Some of my apps that I have purchased are not available only the free version, not the purchased version. I would have to purchase again and it is not backed up into my Icloud either ?

I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
Resolution
Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

My itunes tv and movie purchases are not showing in my video app

my itunes tv and movie purchases are not showing in my video app, iphone 5s, and this has happened since ios 8 was installed

Were they previously downloaded/synced to your iPhone, and if they were have you got them in the TV Shows and Movies parts of your computer's iTunes library. When you update via a computer the device is backed up, the iOS version is updated, and your content is then restored to the device - but none of your iTunes downloads are included in the actual backup (just your documents, notes, calendars, app settings etc), instead it looks to get the apps, music, films, TV shows from your iTunes library.
If the 'show all' setting isn't showing them then what country are you are in, you are logged in with the same account that you bought them with, you haven't changed countries since buying them and they aren't hidden : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases ?

HT4483 All my purchased app are not shown under "Purchase" in Mac App Store

Hi,
All my purchased app's are not shown under "Purchase" in the Mac App Store window. I have changed computer and need to re-install some of my purchased apps on my new computer but cannot find them. Please advice

Two things may be behind this. I see you have changed your computer. Did that entail you changing your ID? And there is also the possibility they have become hidden.
