Where is the song I purchased on my Ipod Touch?

I downloaded a song on my iPod Touch, but it isn't showing up anywhere. I saw that it had downloaded because it showed 1 item was downloaded in the more tab. But I didn't listen to it right away, went to a game, then shut off the iPod. When I turned it back on & went to go play the new song, it isn't showing up. The price of the song was deleted from my iTunes card. This happenend within the last hour. Can I download it again for free? Or can you tell me where to find the song???

It should be under one of the categories in the Music app. You have to pay again to download them again. However, if you can't find it you can "Report a Problem" by clicking on that link either in the email receipt or at the bottom of your purchase history in your iTunes account.

Where's the song info on iTunes?

Hi!
Where's the "show info" button when you right-click on a song??? It would always say who the artist, composer etc. were...
Thanks!

I mean on iTunes Store...

After purchasing a song, where does the song go?!

After purchasing songs on my iphone through itunes they used to go to my purchased songs in the ipod app. I updated my iphone and now after I purchase a song, I cannot find it and it is definitely not in my "purchased" songs. Anyone have any suggestions as to where they could be??

Go to iTunes on your computer and click on "Check For Available Downloads..." under the Store drop down menu on the menu bar. If the song(s) won't download, check your purchase history on your iTunes Store Account to see if it was indeed purchased.
As for the iPhone, try a reset (holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons until the iPhone restarts showing the apple logo screen). Ignore the red power slider.

Where does the song metadata reside (cover art work and other information)?

I edit the metadata for each album/song - add cover art, correct any album name or artists erros, make some notes to myself to help search/browse. Where does this data reside - with the song file or the library file or somewhere else? BTW I don't download the cover artwork from iTunes. I just find it online and copy and paste it into the metadata window. I have too many obscure albums to rely on iTunes.
The reason I ask is because I double backup my music and iTunes files. Normally, when I rip new albums I just add the new files and updated library files to me backup hard drives, by sorting by the modified date. But I'm now going back and editing all of my oder albums/songs metadata as I just described. In order to make sure this information gets backed up I'm simply backing up the entire iTunes Music folder, which takes all night cause it's around 500GBs. But I'd prefer to only add the modified files to the backup, which usually only takes a few moments.
When I sort by modified date the albums/songs I edited metadata for do not show up as modified that day. So, is it pointless to always backup the entire folder when all I have to do is back up what was modified? And if so, what are those files?
Also, is there a good app that will compare two hard drives and keep them in synch? So that I can basically do what I want to do automagically? Set one as the master and one as the backup, and ahve the app always synch the backup to the master. That would be nice!

If you're not downloading artwork from iTunes, all of the tags and artwork are stored with the individual song files. Some iTunes-specific data, like play count and rating, are stored in the iTunes Library database file.

Where is the song I just downloaded from iTunes

Hi There,
I'm new to Mac and iTunes. I just went to iTunes store on my Mac Book Pro and bought song.
But I can't find it under my music.
Please help me. Where do I go to see the song?
Thanks

On my Mac, on the left side of the main iTunes window, the second group of playlists is marked "Store" and third on that list is one named "Purchased" and within it are all the songs I've ever downloaded from the iTunes Store on this machine over several years - many freebies along with the few that I paid for.

WHere have the songs disappeared to???? Help

Hi, just got my spanking new 60G Ipod.
Have spent the wkend ripping my CDs and tranferred to them to the IPOD via home PC.
Now have venture to install itunes on another laptop to further rip more CDs. However when connect the IPOD to the (2nd)PC, all the prev songs- about 5GB is not able to see in the IPOD. Instead the new 2GB of songs is only available.
Is this common? where can i find my prev songs in the IPOD? Although I can still see that the total available HD space is about 53GB which means all the songs are still in the HD?
Any cure?? Advise??

actually, there is only 2gb of file on the hd. 60 gb is only 55gb(differeces in file sizes). if you want to be able to see all the music on your ipod when hooking it up to different computers, you have to turn auto sync off on both, or else when you plug it in, it will delete all previous files and replace with the ones you have set on that computer. let us know if you need to know how to turn off auto sync.

Where did the songs go?

Downloaded songs to itunes library and then clicked on them and it says" file can not be found". Try to have the files found and now they are gone alltogether.
Help please!!!

Well, im not too sure if I understand, but are you saying that when you searched for the file it got deleted? Try this:
Search for the song files on the computer to see if they're still somewhere in the computer. You know, go to the Start menu and go to Search. Type in the name, or part of the name, of one of the songs you lost and search for it. If a music file (most likelty a .m4a file if you bought it on itunes) shows up with the name of the song, right click the file, and click "Open file containing folder" and it should lead you to the rest of the files and the location of where you need to import the songs from.
That is, of course, if your using Windows... That's about all i can think of to help your problem.

On the iPhone 4: where are the song times within an album in iTunes Store?

Has anyone noticed that song time (or track time) has been omitted from the view of album contents in the iTunes Store on the iPhone 4? If one takes an iPhone 3 running ios 3.1.3 and looks up an album in the iTunes Store and checks the songs listed within the album, the time of each song is shown in light gray before the buy/price button. However, if the same procedure is done with an iPhone 4, the time of each song within the album is missing! (Search an album on each phone—such as the Beatles’ Revolver—see the list of songs included and observe the difference.) Since it has nothing to do with the iTunes Store itself, why is this? In my internet search, I have not found a comment about this curious omission of important information—the length of a song (certainly useful before one buys a song from an album or if one compares various versions of the same musical composition by different artists). Because song time is available in iTunes online by using a computer, why not show this on the current iPhone 4 since it can be seen on an iPhone 3 that still uses ios 3.1.3?

You can't on your phone, you can only gift the album - you will need to use your computer's iTunes

IPod Nano appears on my list of iTunes devices. Summary tab shows 928 manually managed songs; music tab however shows nothing. Where did the songs go?

I recently undated software all around, reloaded windows 8 and upgraded to windows 8.1. My iPod Nano (1.0.4) appears on my list of iTunes (11.1.3) devices. The summary tab for my iPod shows 928 manually managed songs (2 of 8 GBs still empty). However, when I click on the music tab immediately to the right of the summary tab, iTunes no longer shows my songs, playlists or audio books. Instead iTunes invites me to "sync" my iPod and kiss my contents goodbye. Why won't the songs appear in iTunes anymore? My iPod still plays the songs and they appear on the tiny iPod screen. iTunes however won't show them. iTunes still allows me to drag and drop new music and books into my iPod but iTunes won't let me see the particulars. I want to delete some audio books I've finished but iTunes won't let me to them. What gives?

Thanks iPodmaven for showing me how to check the arrow to the right of the device image and convert it into a inverted triangle. Problem solved! Thanks

HT3823 where are the songs when i buy an itunes LP?

I bought an iTunes music LP and I see it in itunes but I don't see the songs listed individually so that I could put it in a playlist. It also did not sync to my itouch. I can play it on my windows computer, but I don't want to do that.

Maybe something will help here > iTunes Store: Invalid, inactive, or illegible codes

Where did the songs in my Itunes library go?

I had songs in my itunes library that I have brought over from my pc. In other words, these are not songs purchased in the itunes store.
Anyway, I connected my wifes Ipod to my mac to try and add the song on my mac to her ipod. Not sure what I did but somewhere I selected add manually, then dragged and dropped the songs in the mac library to the ipod symbol.
Some songs trasferred but I got a message that over 100 songs could not be located because they were not in there original location or something to that effect.
When I finished the transfer and went back to the mac list, those 100 songs were gone. They are not in trash. They are not in the ipod. They are not in the mac i tunes library. Just gone. I've done searches using Finder but no luck. Gone.
No I don't have time capsule set up. Could never get that to find set up properly...
Any suggestions?

one last thing: I'm also getting this problem here too:

Mozaic: where are the songs?

I have a brand new Zen Mozaic. I have the latest firmware: .06.0_.03.04. My operating system is Windows Vista, 64 bit.
I loaded many songs onto the MP3 player from my computer, and they are on the player. The player displays the songs and can play them. For the first few days, when I hooked the player up to my computer, the computer recognized the songs on it and was able to synch with the player.
But just today, my computer recognizes that the player is plugged in, recognizes that there's about 8 gigs of stuff on it, but claims there's nothing on there! It says that there are 0 songs, 0 artists, 0 genres, etc. when I open up Windows Media Player, Creative Centrale, and Windows Explorer. All the folders are empty. I loaded a small playlist on the player, and it shows that, but nothing else. I tried restarting my computer, unplugging and replugging in the player, and no luck.
HELP!!

Hello Jenjab77,
Welcome to Creative forums!
If the reset doesn't work, try booting the player from the recovery mode and select Clean Up->Reboot.
Turn off your player.
Press and hold .
Continue to hold until you perform the 3rd Step. If you accidentally release the button, start the procedure again by turning the player off normally. If the player freezes, press the reset button on the player to turn it OFF.
Slide the On/Off/Lock switch towards and hold until the display lights up. The Recovery Mode screen appears, and four menu items are shown: Clean Up, Format All, Reload Firmware and Reboot.
I suggest using only one program to transfer files. Sometimes, using one or more programs caused problems like files not showing up. Hope this helps.

Where Did the Song/Album Suggestions Feature Go?

what happened to the feature on the iTunes Store homepage that was in beta a few months ago that would suggest albums or songs based on your previous purchase history or library contents? my computer recently crashed so i had to upload all of my backed up music into my new iTunes library, but i assumed the feature would still be available. can someone tell me how to activate that, or did they get rid of it?

If you go to the bottom of the store page, below where you can set your store country, you will see:
Turn Just for you on/off.
At least that's the case in the UK store.
Is that want you mean, or show/hide ministore from the view menu?

Where has the song information gone from the mini player?

I also hate the new iTunes 11. I could probably get along with its user unfriednlyness if they'd left the mini player alone. I like to keep this on top of my other windows so I know what's playing and how long a song has left to go. The new version removes this useful information in favour of a uselss mini LP cover that's too small for anyone to see. Does anyone know if there's way of getting back to the previous version without reverting back to iTunes 10. I tried this but it wouldn't let me because its linked iTuines with OS X.
I\'ve never complained about an upgrade before but this looks like it was put together by a bunch of idiots.

The new miniplayer also shows songinfo, but shows the playback controls on mouse-over (and hides song info) However! If you have one of the controls 'selected' (blue highlight) then the songinfo won't come up anytime. Try selecting the miniplayer and pushing TAB a few times.
Probably because you have this selected: (old screen, but same option)

Where's the song???
