Songs i bought on iphone dont show up on itunes

I bought 3 songs on my iphone 5 and they dont show up on itunes. Ive tried everything posted in previous forums with zero succes. Any help?

The music must be on the computer in order to sync it.
Since you only signed into the iTunes account on the computer but did not download the media, it's not there to sync.
Also, iOS devices are designed to only sync to one computer.
Maybe it would be a good idea to read the User's Guide so that you'll have a better understanding of how this is supposed to work.

Iphone dont show up on itunes - how to fix this?

Hi everybody,
My iPhone 5 does not show up on Itunes (ver. 11.0.2). Usually it should appear on the right upper side down to the search field.
I have already the last version of iOS and iTunes.
I have also restarted my iPhone and my Mac Air with Mac Os X (10.7.5)
Do anyone know how i can fix this? Since i bought my iPhone i have only synchronized with success two times.
Appreciate a lot for help!

Song I bought on my iPod shows up in iTunes on my PC but not on my iPod

I recently bought "Payphone" by Maroon 5. It charged me for the song and everything, but it is not showing up in my Music on my iPod touch 4. When I log into iTunes on the computer, however, it shows up in my library and I can play it and it's completely fine. It's just not showing up on my iPod, no matter how many times I try to redownload it or sync it over and over again.
I also bought another song afterwards to see if that would download, and it worked fine. I don't know if it's a problem with the song itself, or something.
If anyone knows how to fix this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I had this problem too.
It is fixed by going into Settings > General > Restrictions. Turn Ratings for to Australia. Then turn off Music & Podcast to Expilcit.
I know this doesn't make sense as Payphone is supposed to be clean but it works when you now sinc the iTouch.

Neither my iPod Touch nor my iPhone will show up in iTunes when I plug in through the USB cable. My software is updated, I've restarted everything, I've reset the devices, but still no luck. Help?!

Check your System Profiler to see if your computer is recognizing them. You may need to reset the computers SMC.

Iphone keeps showing connect to itunes logo

Put the iPhone into DFU mode. Open iTunes on computer you usually sync with and connect the phone. Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release power button, keep holding home button until iTunes recognizes an iPhone in Recovery Mode. Then just recover from the last backup.

Why isnt my iphone icon showing up in itunes

why isnt my iphone icon showing up in itunes when I plug it into my computer

Since you got a new MBP, does it have Lion or Mountain Lion, and what version of iTunes?
If current it should see the iPhone. If it will not, try attaching in recovery mode, start iTunes, connect the USB end of the cable, then while holding the home button on the iPhone connect the dock connector end of the cable to the iPhone...should put it in recovery mode and iTunes should then see it.
Don't go to restore from backup since you don't have that on this computer. You can backup and update the iOS.

Hello Mr.Rahgozar,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The reason why it's not showing any album art, is because no album art was downloaded. To download album art please follow the articles below:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Add artwork to songs and other items

iTunes 11 for Mac: Add artwork to songs and other items

Take care,

Album titles are missing from some of the songs on my iPhone, but show up in iTunes normally.

Some songs that are synced onto my iPhone are missing album names. It's completely blank. I went back and double checked on my computer, and found that the album is all there in iTunes. Furthermore, the album artwork shows up on my iPhone. So something weird has to be happening.
For example, iTunes shows songs as having a name, artist, album, track number, year, etc. When it shows up in Music, the album is missing along with the track number (I assume). The song IS on my iPhone, it's just missing the album TITLE (not the artwork though). I can find the song under songs, but not albums.
I went back and checked in iTunes to make sure all the obvious things weren't affecting it. I removed it from my phone, then re-synced it. I changed the artist name, album name, everything. I checked and unchecked 'part of a compilation.' I put it on a playlist, took it off the playlist, synced the album, the artist, synced nothing and dragged it to my iPhone. Nothing worked. For the life of me I can't get this album name to show up for all the songs on this album. It's weird because the album is definitely shown in iTunes, and the song definitely gets synced to my iPhone without that data.
I'm completely at a loss here. Any thoughts?

I have this same issue. All the data (including artwork) is in iTunes, but on py phone (4S, current OS). the album title is missing. If I'm using bluetooth to connect to my car, it shows as "Unknown Album."
There isn't any rhyme or reason to it. I've had it happen to singles as well as one track of a complete album. It doesn't seem to matter if artist matches album artist or not or whether it is part of a compilation.
One more bit of information. I recently purchased the entire soundtrack for Hairspray. At first the album name was on my phone no problem. Then I went into iTunes and edited some track information, changing the artist name (and album artist) to "Cast Recording" and removing the check for compilation. After making those changes, the album name went missing.
Any help would be appreciated.

TV shows bought on Iphone not showing up on my PC

I bought 3-4 tv shows on my iphone while i was on vacation. Since i did not have a laptop with me, i just used wifi. Anyway when i log into my itunes account after syncing my Iphone, i checked my Itunes store and checked the "purchased" category. Only one video that i bought on my Iphone showed up(after i checked for downloads).
Anybody know what to do? I don't want to pay for the tv shows again.

Well the downloads showed up after another Sync, mods feel free to delete this thread

Downloaded songs dont show up on itunes, why?

Every time i try to download music to itunes it doesnt play or show up. Itunes pops up but the music doesnt go there. I have no idea why, ive tried restarting it, deleting music, redownloaded, and using different websites! please help!

But Im scared to unsync because some of my songs on itunes have these grey exclamation marks that say file not found, but strangely most of the songs that do have those marks are still there.
And its weird, because they seem to have deleted songs randomly. I have complete albums with just 1 or 2 songs missing or an entire album gone.
I tried restarting 3 times, but nothing happened.
Please, Im desperate.

My iphone wont show up in itunes. please help!!!!

hello, i just updated my iphone to ios 5 and since then it doesnt show up in itunes!!!! ive tried apples trouble shooting tips, and nothing has worked, though i havent reinstalled it as i dont want to loose everything!!
any help would be great

Sounds like you need to put it in recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. You could try resetting the phone first (hold on/off and home buttons simultaneoulsy for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the off slider that appears first) but it probably won't work.
