The music I have purchased on my IPod are not showing up on my ITunes library on my computer

The music I have purchased on my IPod is not showing up on my Itunes account on my computer, I went to the itunes store on my computer and went to see if I could download a song i previously purchased, but it was going to have me pay again. I have about a hundred songs missing on my computers itunes. It won't let me sync my ipod to it anymore and when I tried to update the software it wouldn't let me. I am completely at a standstill with this.

Then you're doing something wrong.  Are you signed in with the same Apple ID on the computer that the content was purchased with?
Did you check the purchase history?

  • HT1386 if i let it automaticlly sync, does it delete al the things i have on my iphone who are not up to date with itunes?

    That is a different question. So, do you mean you are using a new computer with iTunes to sync? I'm presuming that is what you mean if you just downloaded iTunes?
    If so, then the following support article will help you get your purchased items into the new iTunes library:

    To transfer items that were not purchased through iTunes you will need a 3rd party software to do so. Do a Google search so you can review the options and select one to use.

  • Purchases from my iPhone are not showing up in my iTunes 11 library?

    They show up in playlists, such as one I created and my recently played and purchased playlists, but they are absent from my library. They are on my computer under itunes, but they just won't show up on my itunes library. I have the newest iTunes, and I do not use itunes match. Any help is appreciated!
    Thank you!

    I left my iTunes up for awhile and they eventually showed up. It just took several days I guess.

  • I purchased a few ringtones from itunes, but about a week later, they dissapeared. They are not showing up on my itunes library either. I tried to re-purchase them and itunes recognizes that i have already purchased the ringtones. How do I get them back?

    I would like to know how to retrieve them so i do not have to purchase them again.

    call the APPLE store, even though it reconize you purchase them already, APPLE will charge you again.  it happened to me.  when u call them they can resend them to your phone FREE of charge. It makes no sense, i mean they know you already purchase them, then y dont they just allow us to redownload them free of charge.SMDH

    Expanding on what The Fiend said, the license to play music from a CD is tied to and stays with the CD. So if you sell or give away the CDs, the license to play the music goes with them, at which point you legally no longer have the right to the tracks. You need to keep the CDs if you want to keep the music.
    As for transferring the tracks from your iPhone back to your computer so you don't have to re-import all your CDs, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:

    iTunes is quite friendly, and very powerful....   You probably just need to set up automatic syncing in iTunes.
    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Select the iPod there.
    To the right, the iPod's Summary screen is shown.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  This setting enables automatic syncing for music.  If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the iPod's storage, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  From the lists below, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod.
    Here's one convenient way to set this up.  In your iTunes library, create one or more playlists.  Add the ALL the songs you want on the iPod to those playlists.  OR, you can use existing playlists.  Back on the iPod's Music screen, select those playlists under Playlists.  (You can select other items on those lists, if desired.)
    When you click Apply, the songs in your selection sync to the iPod.  Going forward, to update your iPod (add/remove songs), just update those playlists in your iTunes library.  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates the iPod with the same changes.
    NOTE:  On the bar of buttons that starts with Summary, click on the other buttons (such as Movies, Podcasts, Audiobooks, etc.) to set up syncing for those iTunes media categories.

  • How do I get a list of all the music I have purchased?

  • How do I recover the music I have purchased after a Windows disaster?

    How do I recover the music I have purchased after a Windows disaster? Windows on this computer stopped working correctly. I was told by HP support that the registry was corrupted and that I had to re-install Windows and programs from CDs that came with the computer. I did this and Windows started working correctly again. The only trouble is that all of the music I bought is gone. How do I recover the music I have purchased from iTunes after a Windows disaster and after re-installing Windows?
    Please tell me that you know about all of my song purchases and that there is a way I can download all of these to this computer again without having to pay for them again.
    I have learned my lesson about Windows. In the short run I plan to buy a backup drive that I can plug into this computer that I can restore from if and when something like this happens to Windows again. In the long run I plan to buy an Apple computer the next time I buy a computer.

    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you may be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download however they are not under any obligation to do so. The policy on lost songs is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage."
    You can email them from any of the links on this page: iTMS Customer Service

  • A few years ago I bought music from Itunes.  Recently I deactivated all computers in order to add a new computer.  Most of the music I purchased came through, but I am still missing about 30% of it.  How can I download all the music I have purchased from

    Might have luck with that here >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID that was used for the original purchases.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Ree Ree
    Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
    If you are using a sound system/receiver, make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
    Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of content? If you use optical you might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?

    Open iBooks on the device and tap on 'purchased'. 
    download.
    iTunes does not garentee to carry a book forever, a serious flaw.  If you can't find the book in iTunes anymore and didn't keep it on the computer, or backed up, it may be gone.
    To add audio books to the iPod;
    you have to check the box at the bottom section of the Books screen that says, "sync audio books"

    I have a new ipad mini.  I want to download all the music I have on my old Apple iPod nano MA428.  Can I do this?  If so, how do I go about it?

    You should be storing your music on a computer that you sync your iPad mini to. You can then sync your iPod to the same computer to copy over the music to the iPod.
