It is possible you accidently added these songs to it. Even though the Purchased playlist is kind of a smart playlist you can still drag and drop songs from your library into it.

Somehow, my iTunes music disappeared. I restored it with Time Machine and have all of my music. However, my playlists and song ratings did not restore. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to restore my playlists and ratings? Thanks.

Somehow, my iTunes music vanished from iTunes. I was able to restore my music from Time Machine, but I lost my playlists and song ratings. Does anyone know how I can restore the playlists and ratings? Thanks in advance for any help.

iTunes as you see it is more than just a file or two. It is all the contents of the iTunes folder including the critical library.itl file. That holds pretty much all the information about what you see when you start iTunes. You need to restore the whole iTunes folder, not just media files.

HT4436 Since installing Ios7 280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place.

Since installing Ios7 280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. The remainder now appear with the stupid Icloud logo beside them. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place. Why can't rotten apple ask if you want the dam icloud rather than just stealing everything without permission and then you can only have access to it through wifi.

Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!

Why are there songs in my iTunes that I did not put there?

I just checked on my iTunes music library and there are songs on it that I did not add? I am the ONLY one that uses this computer. I downloaded one U2 song from YouTube on 8/17/2014 and put it in my iTunes and now I seem to have an entire album from U2 in my library as of 9/6--Other than downloading that one song I did not attempt to do anything associated with U2 (searching for them in iTunes store, etc). It also has the little cloud next to the songs. I am sure I did not purchase anything from iTunes. I still have only 16 cents (as I have for over a year) on my iTunes account and have no credit card on file. Where would they come from?

If they have the cloud icon then they are in the cloud, not on your iPod. You can turn off the showing of iCloud music via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under 'show all' heading) 'off'.
But if you have never bought/downloaded those songs then they shouldn't show in the cloud for streaming/redownloading - the U2 album was an exception, Apple automatically added that to everyone's account whether they wanted it or not. It's your account that shows as being logged in in Settings > iTunes & App Store ?

I added an e-mail account to my iphone using microsoft exchange; all went fine. I then deleted a number of contracts from my phone that I did not want there and find they are now gone from my e-mail account on my computer. Can I retrieve them?

Since my software update none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes work on my iphone? It sees the songs but none play. How do I resolve this issue?

Hello,
Since I updated my iphone none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes no longer works on my iphone. It is weird, the music is on the iphone but in gray and the iphone does not recognize it. The only songs that I could play are my songs that I downloaded on my phone that were purchased through itunes.
Another error: When I purchase a new song on itunes it doesn't put the song in my purchased playlist like it used too. In order for me to play that song I just purchased I have to go back to the itunes store and play it directly from the place I purchased it from which is super annoying.
Frankly I am really disappointed with the constant errors from upgrades that should be "Up grades" Not "down grades". Not sure why is going on but not seems to work the same anymore. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my iphone music?
Thank you,
Dago

You will probably lose the music.
Why is it not on your computer?
Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?

I am so angry - there has to be a misundering. my Itunes was disabled as there was a charge that I did not authorize and I cannot find the phone

I am so angry - there has to be a misunderstanding. my Itunes was disabled as there was a charge that I did not authorize and I cannot find the phone number for security and the dingbat girl who I'm emailing send me a link that does not work. And I am extremely frustrated. Please help. I need a phone # to contact security.

I reinstalled my computer's operating system. How do I transfer music from my Ipod to my music library? It transfered some, but not all my music. I authorized the computer, but it did not help.

The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
The ipod is not a backup device.
You need to copy everything back using your backup copy.

I have songs on my iPod Touch that I want to transfer to my music library. I can "see" my songs in the library under the iPod tab, but not in my general music library.

I purchased a new computer and I am trying to find the easiest way to transfer all my files over.
Thanks,

How do I delete music from the cloud that I did not purchase

I have several songs on my iTunes library that I did not purchase. how do I delete these? There are some songs that are objectionable. Thanks

Hi there fredfromclearwater,
You can accomplish this by hiding your purchases in the iTunes Store. The article below has more information.
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
If the song was uploaded via iTunes Match, this next article outlines how to remove it.

I just bought music on my iTunes account and the files did not download completely. The songs play for a minute or so then skips to next song.

If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music... Delete the Song and re-download it...

When I'm on Facebook and I'm typing a post or comment, words seems to pop into my sentences that I did not type. Also certain words that I type ( ex: say I type the word begin, there will be the letter z in front of the letter b ).

When I be on Facebook I always have a problem with my posting and comments. There is a tendency that when I'm typing two or three other words will pop into the sentence that I did not type. Also when there are words beginning with the letters I use for a word, the letter z pops in as the first ether. I experienced this problem with my original IPad and the same is going on with the replacement. Can someone here in the community tell me what is going on . It's driving me crazy. I. About to purchase some Holy Water for this possessed device. Thank You
