There are songs that I have purchased that are not showing up in my iTunes or in my cloud.

I purchased these songs a couple years back maybe in like 2010 maybe even before that. When I brought a new iPhone and Mac I assumed all of my music would be in my iCloud but there are multiple sons that I have purchased that are not there. When I look on the ITunes Store it will say that they have been purchased but doesn't give me then download option. What should I do?

also these do not even show up in the "purchased" folder in my library. How do i resolve this problem?

I "downloaded" songs from my CD, but they do NOT show up in my iTunes "Songs". Tried it two times = zero, what's up?

Wow, I just checked & all the DOWNLOADED songs MADE it into my iTunes "Songs". Thanks anyway!

How do I get back lost apps that we're purchased ($50) but not showing up as purchased after IOS6

I did the latest update and lost all my apps. It was not synced before the restore. How can I get my apps back that I paid a lot of money for? They are not showing up as purchased. When I go to the apps I know I purchased it does not show that it was purchased or installed ? Can I get those previously purchased back without paying for them again?

As long as there is not another instance of that app on the device, you should. Just keep in mind, that as apps require updating, you'll have to sign in with different id's to update. Depending on how many apps and overall content is installed on your device, this could become confusing.

All Purchased Apps still not showing up even after iTunes Update

Even after getting lates iTunes update I am only see 88 of my purchased app versus 2134. Is anyone else experiencing a proble see their purchaed apps in iTunes?

Yes, I am using only one Apple ID. The problem, since iOS 6, is the App Store purchased items screen just shows a spinning wheel until it finally crashes or gives the error message 'can not connect to Apple store'.
I can see my purchased apps on the Mac iTunes but not on any on my devices that have been updated to iOS 6.

I buy my songs and then i find out they have gone to some unknown part of my laptop, they say locate my songs which i have bought but to no evail io cannot find songs which i have purchased, you are cheating me out of my money which i bought to buy songs

so unfair itunes, you take my money, i download your songs, and then you store them in some remote part of my computer, which i then cannot retrieve , without much trouble. you people are so unfair to simple minded people like me, all i want is my music which i have legitamatlly bought off you, but it appears you steal it right back, and with passwords and such, never accept mine which is true, just have to let you have my last 18.dollars, which i have on credit, but to no use to me as you just rip it back, no wonder you are millionares and i cannot even find my songs, , so you keep my lousy 18 bucks, add it to your millions, cheers, betty gordon.

Hi Liza225
The article iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads will teach you how to locate your purchase. If you can not locate them, you can still redownload your purchases. Follow the steps in outlined in Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
I hope it helps...

I purchased an app and I got message that I have purchased but I had to sign in to Itunes on my computer in order to download it...what's up with that?

Ditto topic title

larger applications (usually over like 500 megs) will require Itunes and/or wifi connection to download. I get that quite a bit when I try to update like navigon, NOVA 2 and the larger games.
you really havent given much other information.... but the following could be the cause..
1. Your itunes billing/etc may need to be updated
2. The application was too big to download over 3G
3. A change of ELUA required your acceptance

My purchased movies do not show up in my itunes

I only see 2 of my 30 purchased movies in my iTunes store, how do I get them to appear. I also do not see my icloud anywhere to check. Thanks

Whether you can redownload films depends upon what country that you are in, and if you've moved countries since buying them. If you can redownload them then they will show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes, or you can go into Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) and on the Store tab tick the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' and they might then show in the Movies part of your library with a cloud icon against them for redownloading. If not all films show then check to see if you've hidden any of them : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.
But ideally you'd be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your purchases, any item could be removed from the store by the rights-holders at any time

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

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

Why are there ads in games that I have purchased? Can I get rid of these ads?

Why are there ads in my games that I have purchased. How do I get rid of the ads?

The developer participates in the ad program to provide income, usually in exchange for offering the application for free or at a low price. Some developers offer an ad-free version of the app at a higher price, so you might look for that possibility. If they only offer a single version, though, then you're stuck with the ads, though you can urge the developer to offer an ad-free version as well.

I have 4 songs I have purchased that are "protected" but they don't come up in the itunes plus for purchase to unprotect them. How do I get them "unprotected"?

I have some songs I want to sync to my EVO but they are protected. Others I have purchased for the $.30 on Itunes plus to have them "unprotected" but these 4 songs do not show up on the Itunes plus. How do I get them so they are unprotected?

Until Apple releases the iTunes Match feature of iCloud, if the tracks don't appear as eligible for iTunes Plus, there's no direct way to convert them. You can, however, burn those tracks to audio CD which will then behave just as would any other standard audio CD.

I recently deleted two albums off of my iphone via itunes but, they are still showing up on my phone, they are not albums that i have purchased through itunes, can someone help me figure out how to delete them please?

I recently deleted two albums off of my phone using itunes, but when i went back onto my phone, they were still there and playable. they are not songs that I have purchased via itunes so can someone please help me figure out what is wrong so that i can fix the problem

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

How do I find songs that i have purchased through iTunes that suddenly dont show up in my iTunes

i recently noticed that songs that i have purchased through itunes from about a year ago are no where to be found on my device or in my itunes library. can anyone help me i am leaving for a trip in a few days and would really like to find these songs. thanks a bunch!!

it doesnt show up in my purchased playlist either. i just noticed also it looks like all the songs i bought from 2010 are not in there but 2009 and 2011 are there. also earlier i looked under purchased history and the songs i am looking for showed up in there.

I recently transferred my ITunes library to an external hard drive. I made sure to copy all the data from the saved location. After the transfer I noticed that a lot of albums are missing the first song and some recently purchased albums are missing.

I may have found an answer here:

They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

Why don't songs that I have purchased show under the "Purchased" section in the I-tunes Store? I have purchased a large quantity

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.

1. 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.

Im trying to update my Iphone OS but it says: " you have purchases that have not been transfered to your itunes library". I dont want to lose anything I've purchased, I dont want to cross reference every app and song to see if its in itunes or not. help

II have an iPhone 4. I want to update my iPhone operating system but when I do, it says I have purchases that haven't been transfered to my iTunes library. I sync my phone everytime I plug it in (automatically), so I'm not sure why I'm getting the message. I have updated opertating systems before and lost everything, photos, contacts, music, aps, etc so I've been hesitant to do it this time, but my phone is just too slow and aps keep crashing etc.
Short of going through and manually verifying every app and song ive purchased, how can I figure out what is missing from my library, and begin this update?
Thx
Jon

thanks, but the device displays on the top right of the latest version of itunes, and i doesn't allow a right click. You can open it and access the info inside but theres no option to "transfer items" anywhere :-s
