Where is my purchased playlist in iTunes 11?

Is it standard that all playlists are lost when you update to iTunes 11?  Also, did everyone else have to re-import their entire library when they updated to iTunes 11?  Also, am I the only one that has spent the third Saturday in a row trying to figure out this software upgrade? 

Some people have had to re import their libraries as well but their files were still on the computer. I suppose that underlines the need for backup before you install new software.
to help with the software upgrade there are some steps to take that make it more like iTunes 10
1) View > Show Sidebar
2) View > Show Status Bar
3) Click in the black arrow in the Search box and untick Search Entire Library to make search worked like it did in iTunes 10
Step 1 will show The Library, devices and Playlists.
Purchased playlist should be under the iTunes Store link in the left hand sidbar

  • Where are my purchased movies through iTunes stored on my PC?  I need to back-them up on a hard drive and then I want to play them on my iPad

    They're in the iTunes folder, in iTunes Media or iTunes Music depending on when your iTunes was first installed. The iTunes folder by default is in My Documents/Music.

  • Purchased playlist crashing iTunes

    Something just happened when I purchased two songs from the iTunes store. The first one seemed to download okay, but the second one caused a glitch.
    Now when I go to my Purchased playlist, I always get "iTunes has stopped working."
    "Check for available downloads" tells me everything I've purchased has been downloaded.
    Repurchasing the track tells me I already own it (so I exit out), though it's not showing up in a search of my music collection.
    Please help. My favorite playlist is my Purchased one!

    I wonder if the song that you can't find is corrupted and causing iTunes to crash.
    Try looking for the file using Windows explorer when iTunes is closed, as I am sure you know iTunes puts files in folders by artist then album so it should be easy enough to find. When you find it it, try double clicking on it to see if iTunes will open and play the file, if there is a problem you will know that there is a problem with that file. Try moving it another folder away from iTunes.
    If you have a bad file, you need to contact iTunes customer service to allow you to re-download it.

  • Where is my purchased music in iTunes?...they are listed but not showing in the list

    I went into iTunes to check out the new "Purchased" area and found a really helpful list of artists on the left hand side.  Each one has a number next to it which I believe is the number of songs for each artist.  When I click on many of the artists I get a list of songs and it indicates whether they are already downloaded to that computer or not.  I can then click on the ones I want on that machine and they will download from the Cloud.
    Sounds great but where the heck are all the other tunes that are shown on the list on the left but they don't show up on the right when I click that artist?  There was one band in particular that I wanted to download because I think the only place I have it still downloaded is on an old machine that is no longer online (its packaged up in my basement).  That's one of the ones that has nothing in the right hand list... no songs listed - even though the list of artists shows it has having 24 songs.
    Can anyone tell me what is stopping those ones from showing up?  Are they too old for the system?  If I bought them on iTunes previously they should still exist...am I missing anything?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Only songs (or Apps, books, etc) that are still currently available in the iTunes store for sale can be re-downloaded.

  • Where is the iPod playlist in iTunes?

    Hello dear members,
    I have a problem with my iTunes, could someone kindly help me please? My iPod is old. It's the 20GB black and white one from a long time ago. Recently, I bought a new laptop with Windows Vista on it, and I got iTunes version 7. It detects my iPod, and I can put songs on it, but I just don't know where the playlist is! The library playlist is there, but where is the iPod one when I plug it in? It used to show up when I had my old laptop with an old version of iTunes. When I click my ipod, it only has four options: Summary, Music, Podcasts, Contacts. No playlist. Please help!
    Thank you

    You can only automatically sync playlists using Windows Media Player 0 as far as I know. There's lots of other software out there that can use the Media Transfer Protocol of the Vision:M, but I'm not sure what they can do.
    Creative's software is desperately lacking in the playlist sync area, so you're not being a BDU

  • I purchased music on iTunes and it won't appear on the purchased playlist or anywhere else. Where can I find it?

    Where's my purchased music from iTunes?

    Did you buy it on that computer's iTunes ? If you did then it should have downloaded into the My Music part of your iTunes library. If you bought it on a different computer/device, or if you bough it on that computer but since deleted it from it, then you might be able to redownload it (if it's still in the store and you haven't moved countries since buying it) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage

  • Where do i find my purchased music from itunes?

    Where do i find my purchased music from itunes in my library?

    If you allow iTunes to organize your music, each one should be filed in the appropriate artist folder within your music folder. Why do you ask?
    If you deleted the Purchased playlist in iTunes and want to get it back, try this:
    You can recreate the playlist by creating a Smart playlist.
    In iTunes choose File > New Smart Playlist
    Choose Match Any  (You must add more than one rule to get the choice of "any" or "all")
    Kind Contains Protected
    +
    Kind Contains Purchased
    Check Live updating

  • ITunes Purchased Playlist missing tunes

    Hi,
    The purchased playlist in Itunes is missing a few tunes. They are in my Library, just not in my purchased playlist. On the purchased menu on my Apple TV all of the items that I have purchsed are there. How can I get the purchased playlist in Itunes to be identical to this.
    Thanking you in all in advance
    Greg Simms

    You can just drag it in there. In fact, you can drag anything in there. It's just a regular playlist and end users can change it anyway they want.

  • Purchased Playlist not showing up on iPhone 5

    I just synched my new iPhone5 and my entire Purchased playlist from iTunes doesn't show up. Is this happening to anyone else? What gives? This was not a smooth switch from my iPhone4 to the 5. Many glitches with email...not very pleased so far.

    It appears there is a bug with iOS 6. Here is how I fixed this:
    In iTunes, click File, New Smart Playlist.
    Under "Match the following rule:" select "Purchased" and "is true".
    Click Ok and name the new playlist Purchased. It should appear under Playlists.
    Sync your device and it should work just fine. No need to delete the original Purchased list from the iTunes store.
    Hope this helps!

  • Purchased Playlist

    The hard drive on my Macbook Pro was recently replaced, and I have a fresh install of OSX.6.8. I was able to get all of my music over to the new computer. However, the automatic "Purchased" playlist that iTunes creates no longer lists anything I purchased before the hard drive was replaced, just the music I purchased afterward. (The songs are in my library, but they're not in the playlist. They are all purchased with the same iTunes account.) I know I can easily create a Smart Playlist for this, but I'd rather keep everything in just the one place. Is there any way to get iTunes to do this?

    So how did you find it??

  • Help: iTunes completely reset itself, eliminating half of my purchased playlist, deleting all my podcast files, etc.  No idea why this happened and how can I fix it?

    Hello.
    I did not touch my computer the past week, I've only been messing with my laptop.  I had my computer off a whole day.  I turn it on, open iTunes, and everything is gone.
    I system restore.  Everything is gone.  None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there.  My iPod itself is fine.  I restore back to current settings, still, everything gone.
    I plug my iPod in.  I don't think it took anything off my iPod, but even without syncing, it eliminated a ton of the songs on my iPod from my 'purchased' playlist.  Now, these songs will not transfer back over to iTunes because iTunes is not recognizing them as official songs.  Is there a link to download/redownload your past purchases again?  I was trying to find that but had no luck. (Also my iTunes purchase history is incorrect and has at least 1 omitted song I paid for, but that is another story for another day).  I want these songs to transfer to my library so I can put them on a future iPod I bought.
    I do things the legal way, I do not illegally get any music.  I've bought 800 to 1000 songs from iTunes over the year (now that is a lot of money).  Now my iPod is listing it as only 600 and some.  This is my second iPod and the second time I've had major issues with the iPod just going crazy on me.  I won't stick with Apple if I get screwed out of songs I have paid for.
    Anyways, from what I have described, does anyone know what is up?  Directions on where to go to download all past purchases?  Ideas?
    The only potentially bad thing I've done with iTunes at all is I delay updating it as long as possible.  I hadn't updated the most recent update for a few months now.  Still, that is no reason for the system to go ape **** on me.  I am fairly certain at this point that *all* my songs are still on my iPod, but as I said, if this one all of a sudden died or I wanted to get a new one, I'm looking at half my actually bought songs being non-transferrable.
    Thanks for any response.

    Is your laptop a different computer than your computer?
    You have two computers?
    iTunes is missing everything from which one/both?
    I system restore.  Everything is gone.  None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there.
    Do you mean you reinstalled the system from scratch?
    Yes, that tends to delete everything.
    Or you restored everything from a backup?
    Directions on where to go to download all past purchases?
    Selete Store on the left side of iTunes.
    Make sure you are signed in.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick links to redownlaod your purchases.
    Then make sure to regularly backup, backup, backup all your important data .

  • Where have the "iron reps" playlists on iTunes disappeared to?

    My gym used to put their seasonal playlists on iTunes ... that way when there was a song people enjoyed they could make a purchase.  However, I just looked for the latest playlist and can't find any of them.  Anybody know how to find them?   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • HT203167 A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps.  Where is it and how do I find it?  I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV.

    A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps.  Where is it and how do I find it?  I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV...other movies show up. Help.

    It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....

  • I am trying to burn some cds from my playlist on itunes, but my playlist shows many of my songs in light print and says that it will not burn because it is not a file, these are all songs I have purchased quite a while ago, how do i get them to files?

    If they were songs you purchased from itunes, try redownloading them from your purchases...
    if that doednt work, make sure the optuon to copy files to itunes media folder is checked in settings, then find and download from the net. and re-add them to your library

  • Songs I have purchased on iTunes are not showing up in my Purchased playlist but are in my iTunes library

    This has only been happening since updating my iPhone 5 to the new IOS 7.0.2  software and it has duplicated a new purchased playlist on my iTunes library. I have tried syncing the iPhone to my computer but still no luck they are not showing up in my purchased playlist.
    In saying that, some songs I purchase do show up in the playlist but others don't or only half of an album shows even though I have downloaded the whole thing. It is driving me crazy!! Has anyone else got this problem and what did they do to sort it?
    Thanks!

    Hi samfergs,
    I'm not sure how the Purchased Playlist decides what to put into it, but if you want to see all of your purchased items, then you need to go to the iTunes Store, and on the right side, under Quick Links, click on Purchased.
    Then, click on the Music (or whatever other purchased items tab you want to look at). If you are looking at Music, click on All Songs, and then on "All" or "Not on this Computer" (depending on what you want to see).
    Cheers,
