Why am I missing over half my purchased library?

I recently had to rebuild my windows 7 laptop, and when I installed iTunes, over 40 songs were missing. Not in iCloud. Not under the "purchased" quicklink in the store, but when I searched the songs specifically, I found them in the store, and they all read purchased. When I go on my ipod, all the music is there. I really need help with this, as this is about $60 worth of music, and apps. If anyone knows how to get these back , I am more than willing to listen.

  • Why do I miss about half of my emails on the iPad?

    I get all of my emails on my PC and on my HTC phone, but a lot of them never show up on my iPad.  Why?

    Manu:
    I'm not quite sure what you mean by points having an "image" on the X-Axis. If you would like to plot something without the points being shown, then you can set the "Point style" to "None" under the "Plots" tab.
    If you're having some problems with the actual rendering of the control (i.e. the control is drawing on the X-Axis), then I would suggest that you contact our e-mail or phone support to continue this discussion. You can reach our email support at http://www.ni.com/ask or our phone support at 1-800-IEEE-488.

  • HT204406 iCloud status shows error on over half of the songs in my music library.  why?

    iCloudstatus shows "error" on over half of the songs in my music library after 2 uploads.  why?

    Thank you. My two questions have now shifted.
    1. You are right-- I have been unsure as to whether Homesharing or Remote was my answer, and I did set up Homesharing on both my Mac and iPad. It still appears that my music comes out of the Mac, only. How can i use  Homesharing to allow the iPad to play music? 
    2. And I went back to check again, and saw that somehow, the songs that my iPad cannot locate are also somehow missing now on the Mac, even though they used to be accessible. My entire music library is stored on an external hard drive, which I used to connect to my Mac with USB. I just got a new router and now have the music hard drive connected via USB to IT instead of the Mac. I would bet that this is why so much of my library is no longer accessible-- I must have used different settings to save some of my songs, and the hard drive's new location shows that. Can anyone help me make my entire music library playable ? Thanks again

  • A movie i purchased does not show up in  the download after it suddenly stopped while downloading over half way through

    a movie i purchased does not show up in  the download after it suddenly stopped while downloading over half way through.. help!

    I totally agree, I am not going to discredit your comment as everyone is entitled to their opinion as I am BUT, I will not bad mouth other members, especially since  may have not have written my initial statement in a logical manner so Ill try and answer them in order to your response.
    1. I DO LIKE iTunes in general and on the whole  BUT I dislike the new update, iTunes 11, it has completely buggered everything up.
    2. Prior to the update, everything worked brilliantly, including Apple TV. It was user friendly and was easy to use. The new update is counter-intuative and is hard to find, fix anything and as I have had to find out at my cost, reset my Apple TV and start downloading all over again. So let me reaffirm, it is iTunes11 I find hard to fathom, not the old iTunes.
    3. No I am not a developer but I have been using PC's for over 20 years so I do know how one works.
    4. Good Question about who would help me, again, it is someones opinion against someone elses. One day, I may write something that generally people agree with, another they may not, depends on the subject.
    5. " I do not love Apple" ?yet I have an iPhone 4s, iPad and Apple TV, find that an illogical comment!
    6. I have made a General Search on the forums on the subject and the general consensus is that the new update is one update to far.
    7. Oh, I am not a genius otherwise I would have solved the issue in the first place!
    Just to re-iterate, I am not bad mouthing Apple in general, all I am saying is that iTunes 11 is one update to far and I am not the only one saying it.... some have gone a lot further than I have, again, their opinion and who am I to argue with them as I have an opnion as you do and I will most deffinatly not bad mouth a member because I disagree with them for the above reason, debate it, yes, not belittle them.
    Hope these have cleared up my initial statement?

  • HT4623 After updating, I've lost over half my Applications from Home screen, including Setting, Safari, Camera and more plus all original downloaded Apps. How do I get them back?

    After updating my iPhone 4S with ios6, it seems I have lost over half the Applications from the Home Screen, including Settings, Safari, Camera, Photos and more plus all the original downloaded Applications. Can anyone help please?

    The built in apps can't be deleted.  If you want them reset back to their original arrangement on your screen, go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  If your purchased apps are missing, either sync them back to your phone with iTunes or redownload them for free (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).

  • I synced my ipod to my pc and it restored to factory settings, and deleted over half my music! Anyone know what I can do?

    So I had purchased some new music via my ipod, then wanted to sync it to the rest of my music library on my PC, but when I connected it, it automatically reset my ipod to factory settings, and deleted over half of my music, including videos and photos! Has anyone else had this issue? Can anything be done to get the missing things back?

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If the videos  and were in your Camera Roll album and you backed up restore from that backup

  • Over half of my music was deleted when I got a new comuter

    So I got a new computer, and no longer needed to use my parent's for putting music on my iPhone 4. I synced it to my new computer and over half of my music was either removed from my phone or rendered useless. So, I thought it was because of the music not being on the new computer's library. So I got a flash drive because most of the music had been purchased from iTunes and transfered it over. After about a week the same thing happened again when I added a new song on to my phone. Most of them would still show up as selectable, but if I chose them it would wait a couple seconds then cycle to another song and repeat until it reached some song that it had decided not to delete. This is over $100 of music that I simply can't use anymore, and I have no idea why. Can anybody help me out?

    Back up the library on your parent's computer to a portable drive. Copy that into your new computer.

  • I'm having trouble with my Pages app. Over half of my document are updating, and do not finish. I cannot get to the documents. This has been going for 2 weeks now, they do not update.

    I'm having trouble with my Pages app. Over half of my document show that they are updating. I cannot open or delete the documents. Does anyone know a fix for this? Please help.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • I've downloaded movies to my itunes but once they are finished they completely disappear. Also today I opened my itunes and over half of my music and movies that actually show up are gone. Can anyone give me some advice on this problem?

    I have downloaded movies through itunes until the latest version came out. Now the movies will download and then disappear. Everything is up to date so I'm not sure what is wrong. Also I opened my itunes today and over half of my music is missing along with several of the movies that do play. Luckily I have all my music saved, but the movies are completely gone. Does anyone have some ideas that could help me?

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    If you didn't make a back-up of your music/movie purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Products may only be downloaded once; after being downloaded, they cannot be replaced if lost for any reason. Once a Product is purchased or rented (as applicable) and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage" iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once If you have an iPod that still has any of your purchases on it you'll find details in this article on how to transfer them to the computer: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store Failing this, you could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link it'll take you to the support/contact page: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support You might also want to check out these pages for future reference:

  • Why has PocketMoney by Catamount (which I purchased in 2011) been removed from app store?

    Why has PocketMoney by Catamount (which I purchased in 2011) been removed from app store?

    Catamount software was a one-person company, run by Hardy Marcia. Sadly, he died at a young age in 2013, here is his obituary: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/concordmonitor/obituary.aspx?n=harland-arthur-m acia-hardy&pid=165055870. He was a great app developer.
    I have extensively searched for and tried practically every money management app out there to replace it. I had major problems with PocketMoney & iOS 8, but subsequent updates to 8 have corrected that. I only experience a crash when switching accounts, which I have come to expect. I even bought a high-end version of Quicken only to abandon it, and its companion iOS app. Quicken does things its own way and you waste too much time trying to get data imported and usable the way you want it.
    I still use PocketMoney every day, but also use MoneyWiz by Silerwiz. I was a beta tester for their upcoming V2. There are still a lot of things that only PocketMoney has, like classes and posting future transactions in gray so you will see your cash flow (mine is set for 61 days out), and syncing between devices with images included.  However, the company behind MoneyWiz takes their product very seriously and I think it will be around for a long time. Eventually an iOS update will make PocketMoney unusable.  If you can get your data out of PocketMoney, MoneyWiz has instructions for importing the data and it comes over very well.
    I keep hoping a software company will see the value of PocketMoney, buy it and bring it back. My guess is that Catamount is technically owned by his estate, and would be of value to his family to sell.
    The best advice is to backup frequently with the iTunes desktop software. I trust a wired connection more than than WiFi.

  • What happened to the option to see all your purchased movies alphabetically?  I can only see recent purchases and then I have to look by movie type.  With over 500 movies purchased this is a huge pain.

    What happened to the option to see all your purchased movies alphabetically?  I can only see recent purchases and then I have to look by movie type.  With over 500 movies purchased, this is a huge pain.  For instance the movie Airport 77 is classified as Drama not action?  But it is action?  I have to look at both types to find the film.  I will stop buying films via AppleTV if this is the way it is going to stay.  I am not searching for films in this crazy manner.

    Same issue here. Might have to do with size of library. I too have over 300 purchased movies. "ALL PURCHASED" folder disappeared yesterday on all my AppleTV's. My son only has 20+ purchased movies and his still shows "ALL" folder. However, I had him log in under my account and "ALL" folder is missing??? I hope Apple gets this resolved quickly. I too do not want to flip through various Genres looking for movies.
