The u2 album shows as purchased but i can't find it in my library

My iTunes shows I've purchased the new U2 album but it isn't in my library. Does anyone know how to fix this?

You should be able to download it into your computer's iTunes library by ticking the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) - it should then show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it for downloading (downloading the booklet for it this way may not work, you may get a 'corrupt file' message when trying to open it).
Or go to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage and you should be able to download it from there.
A third option is to sign out of your account (Store > Sign Out menu option), find the album in the store and then click on its free 'price' button - you should then be prompted to sign back in and the album should download.
If doing it directly on your iPhone then either turn on Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under 'show all') 'on' and it should then show with the cloud icon in the Music app for downloading, or go to the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app (can't remember whether it showed under 'Various' in Purchased on my iPad or computer's iTunes, but it correctly showed as U2 when downloaded0.

Is your "home computer" the same as your laptop or are these two different machines?

How come ITunes says I purchased a song, but I can't find it in any library

How come ITunes says I purchased a song, but I can't find it in any library

As in purchased it 4 minutes ago, or 4 years ago? The new versions of iTunes are always very reliable at having songs show up in the main library display window when an item is added. Does your song appear in Recently Added? Have you checked your media folders to see if the song is actually on your computer but it is just iTunes that is having conniptions?
You can browse the forums here for suggestions by others. There isn't one single simple resolution:

HT5085 I ordered a TV series-I can see where the $$ was taken from our account but I can't find the series anywhere on my iTunes account??

ordered a TV series…I can see where the $$ was taken from our account but I can't find the shows anywhere in our itunes account.

Hello NMS1,
It sounds like you are unable find these TV shows you purchased in a series, but you have been charged for them. I would start by checking to see if you can download them from your Purchases in the iTunes Store with this article:
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
The steps are different if you are on an iOS device vs. a computer, so choose the appropriate section for the device you want to download them to.
If you cannot find it in your Purchases, I would next reach out to the iTunes Store support team for additional assistance:

Mail Account shows unread mail but I can't find it

In the process of adding some new mail accounts due to a merger of my cable carrier the "help" line told me to delete any existing mail accounts. I followed his advice and clicked "delete" on one account but it did not remove the folder from my list of accounts (below the inbox). Now my email sent to that address continues to go into that account but it does not get into my Inbox and if I click on the account no mail shows in the mail screen. My Mail icon at the bottom of the screen shows 9 new emails but I can't find them. They are all in the "cancelled" account.
Does anyone know what to do in order to get those emails placed in my Inbox?

First off, how important are these files? If you absolutely need these files and you don't have a backup you will need a recovery program to ensure that you recover the files. If you try and recreate your mail account and keep using the computer you may erase the possibility of recovering these files. Normally when you delete the account the POP folder is deleted. If you have a backup I would recommend you getting the files there.
You can try the following:
Your mail may still be there somewhere in /Users/USERNAME/Library/Mail/
Inside this folder there will be a Mailboxes folder and a POP-something folder if you use pop. There may also be a cancelled folder here.
You will need to recreate your mail account first. You will need the POP server and the SMTP server address if you use POP. After you have re-created your mailbox you can try to import your old mail from one of the folders mentioned. /Users/USERNAME/Library/Mail/cancelled is maybe where you will need to import from. USERNAME is your logon username.

I bought Steve brookstien album heart and soul but I can't find anywhere or on iTunes

I bought a Steve brookstien album heart and soul 4 years ago but I can't find it on iTunes anymore?

If you mean that it's no longer in your country's store then record companies/rights-holders occasionally remove their items from the store - if they have removed it then you won't be able to redownload it (unless they put it back in the store). Do you have a copy of it anywhere e.g. on an external backup drive ?

I want to change the file location for the automatic backup file bookmarks.file, but I can't find browser.bookmarks.file in the list on the about:config page.

I asked about automatic backup of bookmarks and received the following answer:You can make Firefox 3 create an automatic HTML backup (bookmarks.html) when you exit Firefox if you set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML] to true on the about:config page. That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and path via the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file browser.bookmarks.file] on the about:config page. I went to about:config page and toggled browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to “Yes” and it’s working. However, I want to change the file location, but I can’t find browser.bookmarks.file in the list.

The browser.bookmarks.file preference does not exist by default. Right-click in about:config and select "New > String" to create it.

HT201250 i am looking for a old email. I already finished migration and it shows successful. But, i can't find the old email record . Where is the file?

I want to restore the email from time capsule. After migration and it shows successful, but, I still cannot find the email data. Pls adv

The missing file thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
At guess you've used a different profile name. Files inside the media folder have survied the transfer, but those outside are expected to be on the same absolute file paths, but no longer are.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

My CS6 Indesign has no tool bars. It never did. Tried following the directions to "turn freehand off," but, I can't find "Freehand" on my MAC.

I'm trying to use Indesign CS6 for the first time. There are no toolbars!! Nothing seems to work: I can't find them anywhere, nor can I find "Freehand" to turn it off/on. Pleae note, I never turned it off or on, and my toolbars are displayed in all my other programs. Any ideas? Thank you!

Hello,
I have a menu bar, but pressing the "tab" key does nothing, nor does pressing the Shift + W. Please note that I have a MAC computer. By the way, I just installed my cs5 version of Indesign- thinking I could use it, instead of CS6. Everything works in that version, except that the version is in French!!! I'm stymied. Would prefer using CS6, if the issue can be resolved.

HT201272 Hello, I just downloaded a song but I can't find it in my library, purchased or recently added folder

I can't find a previously downloaded song from itunes store.

Hello Lachelle817,
I recommend taking a look at the following article to locate the file for the song you just downloaded. If you locate the file, you can just double click on it, and it should open with iTunes:
Where are my iTunes files located?

Accidently disconnected ipod without ejecting, now it only shows recent purchases. I can see 40 gig of original library but its listed as other not audio. Is this retrievable audio data or is it lost. I have no backup what can I do to restore my ipod?

I accidently disconected my ipod from my pc. When I plugged it back up I only had limited access to my library. I had over 40gb of audio data that now when I go to the summary page of my pod it shows up as other, only the audio that I have recently purchased from itunes is accessible. Is the 40gb retrievable and can some one please tell me step by step what I need to do. My collection took over a year to put together and there is no backup file.

"Other" is the measure of used space on the iPod not taken up by Audio, Video & Photos. This includes the iPod's library and artwork plus any files you may have copied to your iPod in disk mode. The overhead for the library & artwork data is typically 1-2% of the size of the media, e.g. for 1Gb of Audio & Video expect to have around 15mb of "Other". This information is needed for the iPod's operation and cannot be removed.
If you have significantly larger amounts of "Other", not related to files you've intentionally placed on the iPod, then these are probably disconnected copies of your media files or iPod libraries left over from failed sync operations. The only way to recover the space is to do a full restore.
If you have copies of all your media in your iTunes library this isn't a problem, but if you've been manually managing the content then you might need to try to recover the files from it first. See this post by forum regular Zevoneer on transferring files from the iPod to your computer. Some of the tools rely on the iPod having a healthy library however the manual method mentioned towards the end of the post should work regardless.

My ipad displays the old user name. the control panel shows my name but I can not login.

Why can I not log in this support area using my itune username?
I am the second user of my iPad. The settings area for the App Store has my correct information. But the App Store application shows the previous user. How can I fix this?
Thanks,

Great, glad you got it sorted out. Let us know if you have follow up questions.
