Songs that I have purchased in the past I'm not showing up in iTunes
Over the years I have purchased a lot of music starting with my iPhone 3GS on down to the iPhone 5
And I have never had a problem restoring some the songs new devices
But now I noticed there are songs missing in the purchase history this makes me want to never buy anymore songs in iTunes
And start using Amazon cloud unless you guys can fix this problem

Why can't i redownload songs that i've purchased in the past?
So i have bought songs in the past that are indeed still for sale on the itunes store and it just has a greyed out purchased instead of download and the albums along with a few songs are not in my download history. ive spent well over $30 on these songs and i do not have them on either my computer or phone and the problem is on both my phone and computer..
it also ***** because i know there are more songs but i cant remember the name.. i didnt spend all this money on something i cant use...It's not a good idea to post images that include your account id on public forums.
Have you checked to see if the tracks are hidden from the Purchased link : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?
If not then have you tried logging out and back into your iTunes account ? -
Hi,I'm trying to put all the songs from my ipod classic onto an external hard drive,but it is only putting purchases from itunes onto hard drive and not any of my old cd's that I put onto the ipod manually.Am I doing something wrong?Thanks.
Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.

We are supposed to be charged once for apps, that we have purchased in the past.
Why am I being charged twice for two one time charges? I re-installed Angry Birds and the Eagle. I had purchased these two softwares previously and have installed and deleted other times. After I had installed this time,I decided I didn't want it, because of the constant reminders coming up on my iPhone that the Eagle was ready to go, etc. Plus the welcome back, using an old ID, apparently from some distant time, when I originally started using Apple Aps. So,those three things, being over charged, for the two items, and the constant annoying announcements. How do I get this taken care of?
Thank You,
sandman715Were they originally downloaded via the same account (content is tied to the account that downloaded it) and you haven't moved countries ? Also how did you re-download them, from the main of the store or the Purchased tab (re-downloading) ? Y ou can contact iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

A few songs that I have purchased on Itunes have stopped working correctly. One skips the whole first minute and two others stop playing long before the end of the songs, how can I fix this without having to buy the song again?
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -
I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before, but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them, showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there. Is there a way to get them off? The songs dont show up in my itunes on my computer, just on my ipod with a download button next to them. I don't want them there anymore because i don't like that kind of music anymore and i don't know how to get them to go away.
There is a similar setting for Videos on that Settings screen, so if you leave that 'on' you may have similar happening in the Videos app

I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized.
I have searched high and low and there does not seem to be a way to authorize the iPod Classic. What can I do to sync my purchases to my iPod? I have tried reformatting/restoring it as suggested. It continues to only allow me to sync non-icloud/itunes content.
Help!What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

I have tried all of the suggestions and still keeps asking me to authorize my computer for only a few songs that I have purchased.... HELP???!!!
Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

Why don't songs that I have purchased show under the "Purchased" section in the I-tunes Store? I have purchased a large quantity & it only shows 2.
vlonnon1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

I cant figure out how to authorize my office computer to download songs that I have purchased. A message saying I cant do it, but gives me no link to make it happen. Frustrating.Can someone help?
If you're running iTunes 11 and you don't see the menus, press Control-B or go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":
Apple for some inexplicable reason elected to hide the menus by default in the Windows version of iTunes 11.
I doubt that this will address a download problem, though. You'll need to provide more details about that; what device you're attempting the download on, the exact error message, and other such pertinent information.

Songs that I have purchased on Itunes appear twicw on my Iphone. Does anybody know why and how do I edit or remove one copy of the song?
I have had two similar events with my Gen4 iTouch. An album was purchased thru iTunes with my iTouch. When I sync'd it with my MAC Mini (OSX Lion) each song that was included in the purchased album appeared twice on the iTouch but only once on the MacMini. Deleting the duplicates on the iTouch did not resolve the issue. With each sync they were reinstalled. The only way I could get around this was to delete the album/songs on the MAC, elect to move them to trash then re-sync the iTouch to remove them. Afterwards I was able to re-download the purchase on the MAC then sync the iTouch. This resolved the issue.
The second event was different but the result was the same: An album was purchased thru iTunes but this time thru iTunes Store on the MAC mini. When I sync'd the iTouch there were 2 entries for each song purchased but this time there was an entry for the song itself AND an identical entry beneath it that looked similar to the play/pause sampling icon in iTunes when sampling a song prior to purchase. I am not using iCloud and I don not sync wirelessly on the iTouch. Again, all I could do was delete the purchase on the MAC Mini, sync the iTouch to remove them, re-load the purchase from iTunes and re-sync. This also resolved the issue but it makes me a bit nervous since I have a very large library. What is causing this? -
