Songs downloaded on iPhone mssing from iTunes

Hi, I downloaded a double-album recently on my iPhone and came back to find that half of the album didn't show up on iTunes after I'd synced. I tried checking for downloads, re-syncing and re-logging into iTunes to no avail. The music is no longer on my iPhone either, but it was the first time I downloaded. Any tips?
Also, extra credit question: Why do some of the albums I buy on the iPhone appear in iTunes without Artist designations, only as albums. For example, Blur doesn't show up in the Artist list but 'The Best of Blur' shows up in Albums. This has happened twice now and doesnt ruin my day, but confuses me.

Have you tried checking iTunes' Purchased folder? In order for me to synch music to my iPhone, I have to right-click on the songs from the Music section, and select "Add to Playlist," and then choose "Purchased."
After the music is added, I usually right-click again and choose "Get Album Artwork," and then, back on the iPhone screen, I select the "Music" tab, and then make sure my "Purchased" folder is checked off, and then I hit "Synch."

Some songs Downloaded to iPhone 4S via iTunes Match Skip

Hello -
I am using the following versions of iTunes and iPhone 4S:
iTunes: 10.07.0.21
iPhone: 6.0.1
I recently bought an album in physical format (i.e. Compact Disc) via an online retailer. When the album arrived, I imported it into my iTunes library. Once imported, I selected "Store > Update iTunes Match." Once the album was matched, I deleted the copy from the library and retained the one I had just matched on iCloud. I have used this process countless times in the past to match my music collection and iTunes Match has worked as expected (with the exception of the occasional album artwork not being displayed).
Unfortunately, I am experiencing some strange issue now. When I download this particular album to my iPhone using iTunes Match, the first track starts and immediately skips (e.g. the title of the track is displayed very briefly but no sound is heard) to either the second or third track. What's odd is that the song plays as expected when streamed, and occasionally works when I have no other albums downloaded to the iPhone. After spending $25.00 on iTunes Match and purchasing this new album, I find this bug to be very frustrating as it renders my new album somewhat unlistenable.
I have tried the following procedures in the hopes of fixing this issue with no success:
1. I Have verified Shuffle is not on.
2. I have deleted the album from iTunes Match and rematched from my library.
3. I have turned iTunes Match off, deleted all music locally, rebooted device, turned iTunes Match on, and redownloaded the album.
4. I have restored my iPhone from backup.
In addition to the above steps, I contacted Apple Support and have had a useless mail thread with a representative who clearly doesn't read my e-mails. I have told the representative in each mail I've sent that I am using iTunes Match when experiencing this issue, yet in her recent mail she tries to upsell me by telling me "Unfortunately you can only redownload songs you have purchased. Have you heard of iTunes Match?"
This is really frustrating me. I evangelize the product and feature constantly and to have it behave in such a broken manner is extremely irritating, especially when the support mail has been completely useless. If anyone could please provide some guidance I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,

Cannot add songs to my iPhone 4S from iTunes

Hello, when I drag songs from my iTunes music library to my iPhone, iTunes tells me it is "Preparing to update." Eventually it stops preparing, but the songs are not copied. I have been dragging songs from my iTunes library to my phone for years. Suddenly this method isn't working. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3; it is updated. Likewise with iTunes; it's version 11.1.3, the current version. I have tried rebooting both phone and computer to no avail.
Thanks,
Alex Price

You need to define "isn't working" if you expect an intelligent response. We have no idea what that means... What happens when you try?
FIY, no one from Apple is going to respond. This is a user to user forum. Apple does not participate here.

I cannot drag songs onto my iPhone 4S from iTunes

It won't let me copy it to my iPod, everytime I drag it to my iPhone, it doesn't work

This means you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on the computer used for syncing the iPhone. Switching from syncing music to manually managing music removes all music and videos on your iPhone first.
If you have synced your iPhone with iTunes on another computer, all iTunes content will be erased first when transferring iTunes content from another computer. An iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on one computer.

My Iphone will not download certain songs that I have purchased from Itunes.

Everything downloads but only a few albums can be played. Most are in red and when you try to play nothing happens. I have 17.6 GB available

Thanks, your advice prompted me to look at it again on itunes, and discovered that i have actually downloaded the full song instead of the ringtone. False alarm...and thank you!

I download two free games from itunes, it is not showing up on my iphone. Help

I downloaded two free games from itunes, it is not showing up on my iphone as an icon. I see it when i have my phone linked to the computer,

I think I may have confused you and I apologize. But you are also confusing me now.
If you were not using restrictions before, then that is why the Allowed Content for Movies in in accessible. You can only access that if you had set a restrictions Passcode. If you do not have restrictions set, then it is a non issue and don't worry about that suggestion.
Were you actively using restrictions on the iPad? If you weren't then you don't have to enable it now. That will not do any good.

Why are some of my songs not downloading to my ipod from iTunes?

I had downloaded all my albums from iTunes onto my iPod and then went a deleted the songs that I didn't like from the album. Later, I deleted all songs of my iPod Touch (4th Gen) and I was going to reload them all back on.
I went to drag different albums across and some albums it would add, others it wouldn't. The albums it did add only had the songs on that I didn't like (the ones that I deleted the first time)
I'm now not sure how to get the songs I want back on because when I drag a song over singley, it won't add to my iPod. I'm not to sure what to do and a little guidence would be great...

Do the non-syncing songs play in iTunes?
Is there anything different between the syncing and non-syncing songs like where they came from?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

How can I get all of my music onto my iphone 5 from itunes on my computer, when it is only syncing the music i purchased from itunes store directly?

Everything was fine until I got a USB drive from a friend to download a new album onto my itunes from her. I struggled to get the music synced onto my iphone 5, but it got into itunes fine on my laptop. So I ended up resyncing the whole device, and apparently this means it only could transfer the songs that I had bought from itunes, and none of the previous music I had from cds, etc that I had added to itunes by myself over the years. Now on itunes it has a cautin sign for every single non itunes purchased song saying it does not know where to find the song and can not play it. My iphone now only has 43 songs (the ones I bought from itunes store) and is missing the other 2000 I have. Does anyone know how to fix this for me???? I am desperate! I'm using windows 8 on this new laptop and am beyond confused!
Also it might be important to note that I had itunes on an older laptop and within the past year i have transfered everything to a new laptop, so perhaps since the original music folders were on the old laptop, it cant find them? I don't know, I am not great with technology, but desperate please!!!

Copy everything form your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.
