Song no longer available?

I purchased the Nickelback song This Afternoon last year.  For some reason it is no longer available in the iTunes store and I cannot even get it to download into the cloud or even play on my computer.  Does anyone know why?  Or have any advice?  Thanks!

This only matters if you are an iTunes Match subscriber, so I will assume that is the case.
But, as it says at: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/:
" ... for the few songs that aren't [in the iTunes Store], iTunes uploads what it can't match (which is much faster than uploading your entire music library)."
So you should not have a problem.  If the song is not in the cloud, it should be on at least one of your iTunes devices.

  • Song no longer available for purchse error

    I tried on Monday to purchase two songs but got an error saying that they were no longer available for purchase, even though a can listen to the preview. I click OK to the error prompt and thought no more of it.
    I recently check my back account and I have been billed for the two songs, even though nothing was downloaded. I've selected the Check For Purchases option in the menu, but it says I have nothing to download.
    Any ideas, would the fact that all my MP3 are stored on a server and not imported to my mac have anything to do with it. Itunes is set-up not to import music when I add songs, but to play them over the network.

  • My purchased songs from iTunes songs no longer available in us store

    Hi,
    I am trying to re-download purchased tunes from the iTunes Store. I get a warning that some songs are no longer available in the US Store!
    How do I get my music back? Is it tough luck if I did not back up those files/

    Unfortunately if the iTunes store does not sell the music anymore, you would not be able to re-download what is already purchased. I hope this answered your question.

  • Problem creating ringtones - "song no longer available" - PLEASE HELP!

    I want to create a couple of ringtones from iTunes I downloaded. First I tried making one from a song contained in an album I bought and downloaded about a month or two ago. iTunes wouldn't let me (for whatever reason) so I bought and downloaded a new song. once it was in my "purchased" folder I added it to a songlist and then right-clicked it and selected "Create Ringtone." I was told I needed to go to the "Terms and Conditions" and accept the "ringtones" agreement, which I did. once I clicked "I accept" I was automatically redirected back to the song list that contained the song- there was never any option or utility to continue (after accepting the terms and conditions) on and make a ringtone from the song.
    NOW, when I right-click the song and select "create ringtone" I get a pop-up box that says that "this song can +*no longer*+ be made into a ringtone!" WHAT is the deal? What did I do wrong?
    Can someone tell me, step-by-step how to download a song and create a ringtone from it for my iPhone? Is there a tutorial with screenshots anywhere? Somone PLEASE help me out- I cant afford to keep buying songs just to try and figure this out on my own.
    Thanks.
    Nick
    P.S. On the iTunes webpage it said that songs that can be made into ringtones will have a ringtone icon next to them in my iTunes library; but that's not happening- even with the new song I just downloaded.

    -> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> Update Firefox to the latest version by going to Help Menu -> About Firefox -> click '''Check for Updates''' -> if an updated version is found then download the latest version and install it. After that follow these steps:
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
    -> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

  • Changed .Mac Account and Purchased Songs No Longer Available

    I purchased over 100+ songs from the iTunes store on a Windows machine. After purchasing a new PB and a .Mac account and configuring the account with a new .Mac address, I can no longer play any of the songs I purchased. I receive an error messaage "This computer is not authroized to play XXX. Would you like to authorize it?"
    The prompt for the Apple ID login defaults to my old account, not the new .Mac account. If I use the old credentials, I receive an error that the account does not exist (?!?!). Using the new .Mac account particulars does not resolve the issue.
    I emailed Apple Support over a wek ago, yet have not received any reply.
    Any response, clue, explanation would be greatly appreciated!
    Dreading he is out a few hundred bucks,

    THeres really no tellin what happened, could of been windows restored itself, antivirus interfering with itunes ect ect
    What you need to do is go here and follow steps for searching your system for purchased songs http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301749
    If you can't find it you need to go here, overlook the page and contact the music store where it says to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/lostmusic/

  • My purchased songs no longer available to download

    Recently I had to wipe my laptop of a bunch of files, including my music. When I went to re-download all of my purchased music, it wasn't there. I checked the albums to make sure that they were still being sold (they were), and then I downloaded the single of the week to see if that would turn up (it did). All my other content is available too, like my movies and books, but I really want my music back. Help?

    Blue,
    Are you logged in to the iTunes Store with the same account that you used to buy that music in the first place?

  • I have an older Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer these songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available

    I have an oder Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer ths songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available?

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

    Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

  • An album I have previously bought songs off of is no longer available on iTunes?

    I bought multple songs off of an album a few months ago and now it is no longer available on iTunes.  Is this temporary thing or is the album permanently unavailable?

    No way to know.

  • Some songs are not longer available and an ! exclamation mark appears before the song. What should I do?

    Some songs are not longer available and an ! exclamation mark appears before the song in iTunes. What should I do?

    When you open iTunes it opens a database file that contains the locations of the media files you use to play the music.  If something has happened to invalidate where iTunes thinks that file is stored you get a !   There are many possible reasons.  Sometimes a computer can start to lose files.  In other situations it is something you did such as renaming a folder or drive iTunes uses, or moving the files manually.  If you can give us hints we can start working our way down the long list.

    Never rely upon the iTunes Store to always have your purchases.  Always keep a copy of everything safe on a backup drive at home.

  • Some of the content in my Itunes library has the "!" next to them and is unable to play the songs as it says the source is no longer available

    Some of the content in my Itunes library has the "!" next to them and is unable to play the songs as it says the source is no longer available, yet on an old Ipod the same tracks are available and play fine?
    I would love to know how to consolidate all my music and be able to play it without one device saying they are unavailable yet another device says they are?
    Also how obsurd is it for Apple to charge for supporting their devices! Or is that just me?
