Recently upgraded to iTunes 6 --- previously purchased music not found

FYI - I did have "copy files to iTunes folder when adding to library" selected in iTunes preferences.
Is this just a quircky deal that will make me move to iSongs? Or has anybody run into this and solved it? I'm not new to macs or OSX, but I am new to iTunes music store (such an honest downloader!). Any help out there? It would be greatly appreciated ... and possibly save me the loss of $100 or so to the iTunes black-hole. Thanks in advance ...

  • ITunes purchased music not found in library

    Hi there, maybe someone can help me, I'm having MANY annoying problems with my itunes both before and after the 2015 update.  Problems with both music purchased directly from iTunes and from cd uploaded music.  Main concern is inaccessible music purchased from iTunes:
    *The other day, I noticed about 1500 songs from my library would not play within the iTunes program.  These are from previously uploaded CD's and mp3's, and then I noticed also iTunes music, when attempting to play would give the error "unable to locate file/locate now".  Sure I guess I can re-upload the hundreds of CD's (sigh), but I'm mostly concerned about the inaccessible music I bought and paid for from Apple.
    I tried some online research and found the Account Tab->Purchased within iTunes desktop program, to re-download...however this didn't  fix the problem because some of the iTunes purchased songs having the "no-play/can't locate" issue were not showing up as "Not in My Library"... And it appears you can only re-download with the cloud button, music that isn't already in your library.  But when you go to play them you get the error message and it shows an exclamation point by the check mark box.  Some of these inaccessible songs however, will play on my iPhone and some will not.
    *Next issue, I also cannot locate MANY of these iTunes purchased songs/albums on my hard drive either (I am using a windows 8 computer). Very frustrating when music I bought from Amazon is saved securely to my hard drive and is also playable on ITUNES.  Apple's music won't even play on their own friggin program, but Amazon mp3's will???
    *Next issue.  I applied the new updates to my phone and my iTunes program hoping to correct the issues.  This did nothing.  I opted NOT to use Cloud at the moment for privacy concerns.  Could this be adding to the issue with the iTunes music?
    I also have over 100 songs that want to be re-downloaded from the iTunes application on my phone in order to allow those tracks to be available on my phone.  I went from my phone into iTunes->More->Purchased->Music to find these.  Do I have to go through each artist individually to re-download them all?
    As you can see, getting very frustrated with Apple and their constantly malfunctioning softwares.  Is this an issue I need to take with me to the Apple store?  I went in before for iTunes issues and they said they wouldn't help me because I'm not using a Mac computer but a PC and they don't help people that use PC's, even though my iPhone5S and hundreds of iTunes tracks are from THEM.  Should I just throw in the towel and buy a Samsung next time? Spending my whole day trying to figure this stuff out when it should be accessible being that I already PAID for all of this music, such awful software, jeeze louise.

    Hello JackieVall213,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that your purchased music has not downloaded automatically after pre-ordering an album.  Please take a look at the information below on how to download pre-orders from iTunes if you do not have automatic downloads enabled.
    Download a pre-ordered item
    When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
    If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
    iTunes Store: About pre-orders - Apple Support
    Enable Automatic Downloads - Apple Support
    Take care,

  • ITunes store purchased music not showing

    today I went into the itunes store and went under music and purchased......blank screen!!  My books, movies, and tv shows are there but not my music.  Anyone else have this happen and did you get it fixed?  Other computer in the house isn't doing it there's is fine. It's working on my iphone and ipod.

    Oops sorry I didn't phrase my question right >.< o
    What I'm trying to explain is with the new iTunes Store 9.0 when you buy a song it fades out the name to show you have purchased the song. And recently I have purchased the full album in different parts at different times but never pressed the Buy Album button to get the full album at once. Now after I brought the full album all the songs say I have not purchased them or now let me buy them once again, when they are usually faded in the iTunes store like I said before.
    So I was wondering why it did that because I wanted the extra feature for the full album. Since I have brought ever song on the album that I completed.
    So earlier this year my hard drive failed and I got a new one which I restored with my Time Capsule. And before my hard drive failed I had purchased a few of the songs on the album (with 8.0), and when I installed 9.0, where you can see what songs you have by them being faded them out,it didn't show credit for any of the songs I had purchased before my hard drive failed.
    If you need me to re-clarify or need more info feel free to ask ^.^ I did have some trouble writing up the question since it is hard to describe

    I recently had to uninstall itunes and reinstall it again. How do I get my previously purchased music back on my itunes?

    Depending on what country that you are in you might be able to re-download past music purchases via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page - re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    But if you only re-installed iTunes and you didn't remove the actual music from your computer, then it should still be on there, and you should be able to add it back into iTunes via File > Add Folder To Library - by default your iTunes content should have been stored under :
    Windows 7 and Vista : \users\username\My Music\iTunes.
    Windows XP : \user\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes.

    When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
    Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Please help - I'm not able to download previously purchased music

    Please advice how I can download previously purchased music in iTunes. - The music icon is missing in the Purchased window.
    Thanks
    Michael (Denmark)

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 :
    Previously purchased music is only available through iTunes in the Cloud in Australia, Canada, Cypress, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States
    Have you not got a backup copy on, for example, an external drive or CD/DVD ? Or on an iPod, iPad or iPhone that you can connect to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchass to copy them back from ?

  • HT203167 I tried the procedure to Download previously "purchased" music and it does not work. The songs show in my my previously purchased list. DETAILS Remind Me (Duet with Carrie Underwood)     4:32     Brad Paisley     This Is Country Music     Country

    How can I get all my previously purchased music.

    What do you mean by 'does not work' ? If you would like help from these user-to-user forums then more info would be useful.
    Do they songs show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes ? If they do, but they don't have the cloud symbol against them for redownloading, then do you still have them listed in the Music part of your library (where you would click on them to play them) ? If you do then try deleting them from there and they should then get the cloud symbol against them in Purchased for redownloading.
    If you are in a country where music can't be redownloaded,or if you've changed countries since buying them or they are no longer in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their content), then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your downloads/library.

  • HT1977 Following the above directions, It will not allow me to sync my IPhone 5 with my previously purchased music

    I have not been able to sync my previously purchased music from my pc to my Iphone 5  I have the current version on Itunes, anyone else having problems?

    I am having the same problem. My library is not showing up on my computer but is on my phone. The only thing on my computer is the 3 songs I just bought. My message says that my Iphone is synced with another library. I do not want to lose the 100+ songs on my iphone. I do not see them anywhere on my Mac computer. Should I sync or will I lose all music?

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.
