Why are only 2 songs missing from my Purchased playlist?

here's another weird missing purchased song issue: in itunes on left side under store, there is the pre-set purchased playlist with the right click menu with the entry to check for available downloads - it is showing 90 songs. Same as on my iPhone's purchased playlist. Here is the problem - I created a new smart playlist per the previous discussions here and it is showing 92 songs - I went onto my account to check the itunes store and the 92 songs are there and the 92 songs are also downloaded to my itunes library on my PC. Not one of them is hidden - I have others hidden but not these 2. they are not in the cloud, they have been downloaded to both PC and phone and they will appear in other playlists and play fine. For some reason, the pre-set Purchased playlist under the store menu is not picking up that these 2 songs were purchased but my smart playlist is! Both are on the same account ID, one from 2013 and one from just last month! This is clearly an issue with certain flag not being set in a database somewhere, but why just these two? It is not affecting my ability to sync or play these songs since I have them in my new smart playlist - just an odd thing that makes me wonder why and if it can be corrected. ooops - this is PC iTunes not Mac - can't change it - sorry!

Hi Pugs lover,
If you are missing songs from an album but the iTunes Store is showing those tracks as Purchased, you may want to see if it will allow you to redownload them. You may find the following article helpful:

Why are some songs missing from my purchase

I preordered Stars Dance by Slenea Gomez and it was downloaded to my iTunes this morning when I turned on my computer. Online at the iTunes store the album is normal. It has 13 tracks on it. But in my iTunes track number 2 (Slow Down) is duplicated. Track number 5 (Come & Get It) is missing. So my album has the following tracks.
1. Birthday
2. Slow Down
2. Slow Down <---- duplicate Track
3. Stars Dance
4. Like a Champion
5. <--- Missing Track
6. Forget Forever
7. Save the Day
8. B.E.A.T.
9. Write Your Name
10. Undercover
11. Love Will Remember
12. Nobody Does It Like You
13. Music Feels Better
How do I get it to download correctly?
I would like to have all the songs I paid for.

They should show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes for (re-)downloading.
If they don't then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Why are my songs missing from my playlists using match? How can I fix it?

On my mac mini, iTunes shows my playlists as expected. It also shows the iCloud icon (also expected). However, when I use my iPhone to try to sync/download a few of the playlists, there are no songs in them. I even tried adding songs AFTER I finished the iTunes Match and only one of the eight songs showed up in the playlist on the iPhone, even though all eight had successfully been loaded to iCloud through iTunes Match. Any ideas / suggestions?
Thanks!

I think I am having the same issue. I had a number of songs on my phone. I signed up for Match, and switched over my iphone library to Match in settings. Everything was fine, all of my playlists synched to itunes.
I then decided to free up space by deleting all of the previously stored songs from my phone. After I did this, all of the songs that were once on the phone vanished (rather than appearing with a cloud symbol). All of the songs that were in the cloud prior to the delete are still there, but none of the songs deleted from the IOS device are there.
Everything looks fine in itunes.

Why are the songs downloaded from my computer grayed out and won't play?

Why are the songs that I downloaded from my pc not playing on my iphone and grayed out?

Hi sweatt,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You may find these steps helpful for resolving the issue you're encountering:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4054
Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) may not appear, or may appear grayed out in iCloud. This can occur if your computer is not authorized for playback of that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match.
To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for, locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
Choose File > Get Info.
In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column and write it down.
Click OK.
Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
Type in the account name from the Summary field and its password. Click Authorize.
Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
Best,

Why are some apps missing from 'background app refresh'?

I noticed Runkeeper (current version) is missing from 'background app refresh'. In order to start tracking a run, it has to be enabled in BAF...but it's not there. I've rebooted and reinstalled - no dice. Any advice?

Go to the purchased tab of the app store on your iPad and try downloading them from there. Unless these apps have been updated to only work with a newer iOS version than what you are running, you should be able to download them again.

HT1351 after manually downloading music to my i tunes why are some songs missing ?

After manually downloading my music to i tunes, how come some files are missing ??

Hi rockwah,
When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

Why are some text missing from the right side of a page I send to my printer? Thanks

Why is some of the text missing on the right side of a page I send to my printer?

I came across something similar recently where it printed the left hand side only!
If I want to print an email, instead of File > Print ( does not print properly ) I click on the print icon on my email webpage ( do not use applemail and access gmail direct) which then takes me to print preview showing the complete email which prints ok.
Some webpages ( File>Print) do not print properly and some do. Those that do not generally have their own printer icon (path) that needs to be clicked on.
Maybe something to do with encryption but don't know.
Hope this helps in some way.

Why are some files missing from import screen?

I'm trying to import some files into LR, but the import screen isn't showing all of the files that are in the folder I've selected.
I've notice this only when there are multiple files with the same base filename. For example, when the folder contains the following files, LR will show all of them in the import screen:
file.mp4
file1.jpg
file2.jpg
However, "file1.jpg" will not be shown in the import screen when the folder contains the following files:
file1.mp4
file1.jpg
file2.jpg
I've been unable to find an LR preference that covers this. Have I overlooked it?
Thanks!

Here's a guess ... emphasis on the word "guess" ... when you have file1.mp4 and file1.jpg, the .jpg is considered a "sidecar" and won't be imported ... unless ... you select the option in Preference (general tab) that says "Treat JPG files next to raw files as separate photos" ... yes, I know the option says "raw" and your file is an "mp4", but it takes you less than a minute to give ita try

Why are my emails missing from my inbox?

Hi everyone. I have a hotmail account that I have synchronized with my iPad, and it has worked very well for several months now. Today when i access my inbox via the 'Mail' icon on my iPad, the inbox is empty - it shows none of the messages i have had there all this time. When i log into hotmail via a browser on another machine, everything appears normal. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Having synced my ipod, there are certain artists missing from the list on the ipod, but the tracks are there under the songs list. Any reason why and how do i correct this. Thanks.

We'll assume for now, that all the songs and albums in your iTunes Library are correctly labelled (dangerous assumption, by the way!), and that a Compilation album is one with songs by different artists. Unfortunately, the music industry (bless their little cotton socks!) often mark an album by one artist, that has a collection of their songs from old albums, as a compilation! iTunes doesn't think it is!
The missing artists will be those who only appear on Compilation albums. For example, if you have one song by Fleetwood Mac in your Library, and it's on a multi-artist Compilation album, then Fleetwood Mac will not be listed in the Artists menu. But, if you then import a Fleetwood Mac album (or even a Fleetwood Mac single) into your Library, then not only will Fleetwood Mac appear under Artists, but the song by them in the Compilation album will also be listed.
One way to sort this out is to remove the Compilations option from the Main Menu and the Music Menu on your iPod. To do this, go to Settings/Main Menu/Compilations and press the Select (centre) button to turn off the tick. Then repeat this in the Settings/Music Menu/Compilations.
You should now find the missing artists listed in the Artists menu.
By the way, I now routinely check all albums I import from CD into my iTunes Library. Before I start the import procedure, I make sure that Compilation CD is turned on (highlight the album in the import window and right-click/Compilation CD) if it really is a multi-artist CD - and off if it's a single artist CD. Once imported, I manually change the album info to; (highlight album and select ) File/Get Info/Info/Album Artist has "Various Artists" in the box. Make sure it's the Album Artist box, not the Artist box.

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

Why is the macbook missing from Apple online store ?

Why is the Macbook missing from the Apple Online store ? Can someone let me know what's going on ?

Gone, *poof*.
I miss it and I think Apple should have kept it around as it's low key machine, great for kids and adults who didn't like a lot of flash.
Now the 13" MacBook Pro is considered the equivalent on a similar performance basis, however it has the bright silver rich looking case that draws thieves attention and really isn't a "Pro" machine at all with it's inferior low performing integrated graphics.
Heck most $500-$800 Windows laptops are just the same in performance and has a larger 15" screen.
If you need a anti-glare screen you have to opt for the 15" or 17" MacBook Pro and pay $50 more for the anti-glare, but it's worth it. The 13" doesn't have a anti-glare option, but we are petitioning Apple to include that option.
I think Apple considered the MacBook as a educational computer, thus replaced it for a line of iPads which make considerable more margins and provides less hardware benefits as all the hardware features, stand, keyboard etc. are separate purchases.

Why are the songs in my iphone playlists grey and I can't move them.

Why are the songs in my iPhone playlists grayed out. I am unable to move and organize them. I just downloaded some audio books from Audible and I cannot moved them to a playlist on my iPhone either. What step am I missing?

So, if I haven't made any albums, I can't move pictures in the main window of the Organizer?
Yes, you can't. The default order in the main window is based on date, ascending or descending when you are in the standard 'thumbnail view'. If you are in 'folder' view, with your folders shown in the left panel, you are shown the pictures in alphabetical order of the file names.
I haven't created albums yet.
I have so many pictures. I wanted to put all the pictures for each album next to each other so I can find them easily.
It's not difficult to create albums and 'drag' pictures in it. When an album is selected, you can move your pictures around in any order in the main window panel.
Albums are one way of grouping and ordering pictures. You should try to use keywords to organize and retrieve your pictures.

HT201365 Why are only 3 of my devices appearing on the map when all of the devices were showing up 2 weeks ago.

Why are only 3 of my devices appearing on the map when all of the devices were showing up 2 weeks ago.

I probably "over-read" the Apple website hype about the advantages of creating a single personal Apple I.D. which would apply to practically all things Apple. To quote: "An Apple ID lets you personalize your Apple experience. Once you've created an Apple ID, you'll use it to access Apple resources where it's helpful to identify yourself. From Apple Discussions to iTunes to the Apple Online Store and everything in between, Apple ID is your passport to the extended Apple experience."
Hence, I created an "Apple ID," following the example "[email protected]" (Who wants to miss out on a "passport to the extended Apple experience.") However, I already had an ID (though it was not my Apple address), and apparently was already the benefactor of the benefits of the so-called "personal Apple ID." Consequently, I now have two different iTunes IDs and two different passwords. Apple has responded to my requests to have a single ID by saying that my request is for the impossible. I simply have to remember both IDs and both passwords, entering both when attempting to use different computers and devices while downloading and taking inventory of my iTunes files.
So I'm pretty sure I've followed your suggestions already with respect to all 3 "eligible" devices, but I'll certainly give it another go-round. From what you say, it appears that being "associated" with the cloud should not limit me only to an iPod Touch 4th generation.
