Upgrading to 7.0.1 resulted in Purchased Music being emptied

Self-explanatory subject. I upgraded to 7.0.1 and as a result appear to have lost all my purchased music. The music does not appear in the library at all.

Now that you have gone back, are you able to purchase from the Store? I have music on my iPod (only) that I cannot download to anywhere, but want to keep. If I install the new version and have to sync my iPod, don't I loose that music? When you went back to the older version, did you regain anything that hadn't transfered with the newer version? Does this make sense? If you have any advice, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Upgrade to 7.4.3.1 - Lost Purchased Music, Playlists and Library

I upgraded to 7.4.3.1 last weekend. This weekend I start iTunes and none of my 100+ songs are listed in my library, all of my playlists are gone (replaced with the generic 90's Music, Music Videos, My Top Rated, Recently Added, Recently Played, Top 25 Most Played) playlists - all of which are empty. Also under the "Store" heading...my Purchased folder is gone. I must have had 30+ purchased songs in there.
Any ideas how to get everything back?

Hi, I had the EXACT same thing happen to me.
Upgrade to 7.4.3.1 - Lost Purchased Music, Playlists and Library.
I let iTunes update last Sunday 10/14/07 and today I opened it up and Vista started rebuilding the library, then crashed and said it did not have a solution to this problem and shut iTunes down.
It created a, iTunes Library (Damaged).itl file.
I tried the help file that said to drag the C:\Users\ME\Music\iTunes Music folder onto my Library folder but it crashed after transferring 20 songs or so.
All of my music is in this iTunes Music folder so it is just a matter of trying to get iTunes and Vista to rebuild my Library so I can recreate my Playlist.
So I will keep looking for a solution, but this is getting silly !

Upgrade to 6.0.4 lost All purchased music et al...

went to 6.0.4 from some flavor of 5 and now No purchased music At All,
also about 1/3 of my library is gone also
curious that....
tried the usual trashing prefs etc to no avail

Are the lost tracks still listed, but with a question mark? If so, you could try a script like iTunes Track CPR v1.3 to have iTunes see them again.
If they are completely missing from itunes, check to see if the music is truly lost. Use Spotlight to search for mp4 files to look for your purchased music or mp3 to search for your mp3 files. You could also manually look through ~Music/iTunes/iTunes Music to see what files are there.

Upgraded to v7.0.1.8 and can no longer play or download purchased music

I upgraded my software from a later version of v6 (6.9, I think). Since then, I have been unable to access my purchased music. I had purchased the music with a previous email address, which I updated using the site instructions. My account in iTunes is the same as always, my number of authorized computers the same, this computer is authorized. However, when I try to play a purchased song, I get a warning that I cannot play it because my computer is not authorized. The login popup comes up with my old account information. I did try using that, but of course, as that account now exists under the new email address, it is not a valid id. I use the new email address and login and am told that I am now authorized. When I click the song again, I get the same thing. I've authorized myself to play this song (and several others, to see if I got a different result) at least 10 times now and it still won't play. All that happens is that I am taken through the authorization process over and over.
Additionally, I have purchased three albums that will not download. I get an error -50 and am beginning to believe that they are related to this authorization nightmare. Please explain what I can do to fix this.

It gets even better... thought I'd add another audible book to my iPod so I could continue on the series I'm listening to. As soon as syncronization started, all my content on the iPod started disappearing. At first, I didn't figure out what was happening. By the time I did, I only had 4GB left of the 35GB that had been on the iPod. Now, I'm really irritated with you and your half baked software!!!!!
I've dropped back to v7.0.0.70, and everything is working again. It's 2am and if I were billing you time, I'd be making out very well now. Whatever happened to software quality assurance? There is an obvious breakdown in the newest iteration of iTunes. My current 'fix' is to drop back to a previous version until you all get a working 'current' version...but that's not really a fix. Please let me know if you have a real solution or not.

I am having trouble restoring music and podcasts to my iPhone after a system upgrade that required a restore to factory settings? All I can access is purchased music.

When I upgraded to OS 6 I had to restore my iPhone 4 to factory settings and now only have access to my purchased music and only some podcasts. Lost my playlists and most podcasts and can't figure out how to retrieve them from a old iTunes library on windows especially with the new podcasts app...podcasts no longer appear in iTunes. Is there a way to fix this?

Its not a matter of Safari "supporting this site". Its a lack of testing on United's part that its site is compatible across all platforms. They have introduced code, script or markup that isn't fully compatible. You can try downloading Chrome or an alternate browser as a work around for now. But it is United's job to fix its site. My guess is that enough complaints will come in and they will do so, but this is an airline we are talking about.

I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 and now my iPhone 4S will only sync purchased music to my phone from iTunes. Help! I have TONS of music that I have bought and burned to my computer, but cannot listen to it on my iPhone. This seems ridiculous!

Can't see purchased music, movies, or TV shows after upgrade to iTunes 11.1.2

I upgraded my Macbook to the new Mavericks OS and also updated iTunes to the newest version 11.1.2 on Wednesday. Since then I have been unable to view any of my purchased music on the iTunes Store. The purchased page comes up blank. However I am able to view it the purchased music via the iTunes Store link on my iPod Touch and iPad.
I'm also unable to download the movies and TV shows that I purchased on iTunes on my computer. They show up under purchased but they do not have the cloud icon on them for me to download. When I click on them it takes me to the page to purchase them again. However when I view them on my iPod and iPad they have the cloud link so that I can download them without having to pay for them.
Is anyone else having these issues since downloading Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.2? I tried downloading some of the purchased music to my iPod and syncing with my computer but after 4 hours of the spinning wheel I gave up on trying to sync my iPod.

Found a solution from the Apple Support Team. The link below will tell you what to do to get your cloud content to show up in your library so that you can download it.

Just scroll down the Mac and PC section and choose the version of iTunes you have and it will provided step by step instructions. Worked for me!

IPod won't play purchased music after upgrading.....

Help -
My boss has the 30g video IPod. He has upgraded his Itunes software to 7.0 and also upgraded his IPod to 1.2 (whatever the newest version is). He is not having the problems I have seen others are having but the issue he is having is that his IPod will not play his purchased music.
I did find this article (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303854) on the website and have tried everything it suggests to fix it. All the software is up-to-date, we have deauthorized and reauthorized his computer, and I have followed the instructions to recreate the Itunes Library. Still the songs won't play - he can navigate to the folder of purchased music on the IPod and it will let him hit play but it will just display the song and album cover and then keep skipping to the next song - never actually playing the song.
Can anyone please give me some advice for what else to try? If all else fails he would like to just restore his IPod and go back to ITunes 6.0. I tried this by uninstalling ITunes 7 and then installing 6 again but when I open 6 it says it can not be opened because the library was created by a newer version of ITunes. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!!!

I have this exact same problem since I bought my new 80GB iPod.
All purchased songs play fine in iTunes on my Mac but they just skip past each track when I try to play on my iPod. As mentioned above I have tried the advice Apple give and have restored my iPod and recreated library but I still have the same problems.

Lost iTunes purchased music after latest IOS upgrade

After the automatic IOS upgrade for the Apple Watch my iTunes account lost several purchased albums. I have tried to re-download the purchased music but not successfully, I'm only able to download four of the songs and they are still not showing up in my iTunes library.

For info these are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple nor iTunes Support.
If they don't show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app on your iPhone and iPad then check to see if they are hidden : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.
If you've moved countries since buying them, or if the rights-holder has removed them from the store, then you won't be able to redownload them. Also if the rights-holder has removed an album and replaced it with a different version then it be treated as a different album/purchase.

You need to be using Snow Leopard or Lion to run the current version of iPhoto.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.

I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

I'm unclear on what the problem is. Have you installed a system on the new hard drive, and if so, what system? Had you actually installed Mountain Lion previously, or only downloaded it? And what does "it only wants to upgrade" mean? Have you actually got Mountain Lion already installed? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.)
All Macs that shipped with Lion or newer are capable of internet recovery in situations like this. Just hold down command-R and it should start in recovery mode over the internet if necessary. You can reinstall the system from there. If you had Mountain Lion, I would assume that Mountain Lion would be the system you would get reinstalling that way.

HT202159 Mountain Lion upgrade download stopped, now it states in purchased apps that 'an error has occured' and resume button is blank & will not work

Mountain Lion upgrade download stopped, now it states in purchased apps that 'an error has occured' and resume button is blank & will not work. Tried to re download, but it states code has already been used

Danielle...
From the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
If that doesn't help, disable anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband (high speed internet) access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.
