Why can't i redownload songs that i've purchased in the past?

So i have bought songs in the past that are indeed still for sale on the itunes store and it just has a greyed out purchased instead of download and the albums along with a few songs are not in my download history. ive spent well over $30 on these songs and i do not have them on either my computer or phone and the problem is on both my phone and computer..
it also ***** because i know there are more songs but i cant remember the name.. i didnt spend all this money on something i cant use...

It's not a good idea to post images that include your account id on public forums.
Have you checked to see if the tracks are hidden from the Purchased link : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?
If not then have you tried logging out and back into your iTunes account ?

Songs that I have purchased in the past I'm not showing up in iTunes

Over the years I have purchased a lot of music starting with my iPhone 3GS on down to the iPhone 5
And I have never had a problem restoring some the songs new devices
But now I noticed there are songs missing in the purchase history this makes me want to never buy anymore songs in iTunes
And start using Amazon cloud unless you guys can fix this problem

Updated to ios 5 and itunes 10.5 for my iphone and now i lost all apps and songs that i had downloaded in the past. how do i get everything back

Updated to ios 5 and itunes 10.5 for my iphone and now i lost all apps and songs that i had downloaded in the past. how do i get everything back?

in order to restore your songs and apps, you should just reconnect to itunes and sync your data. your phone ran a backup before it upgraded, and you can also do a restore. but the key is still to go to your itunes and sync back to your phone what you wanted there in the first place.

How can I download a song (that I jsut purchased) without losing all my other songs?

I just purchased a song this morning from iTunes, and I want to download it into my ipod nano without losing all my other songs. But if I go to hit sync on computer I will lose all my other songs that I have and just have the ones that are currently in my itunes. I just want to add a new song without losing all my other songs. Is there a way I can do this?

Select the iPod in iTunes. Go to the iPod's Summary tab. Check the box for Manually manage music. When you Apply this change, you will no longer be using automatic syncing. To load songs on the iPod, you drag songs from the iTunes library to the iPod.
But telling you this is odd, because if you already have songs on the iPod that are not in your iTunes library, you must already be using Manually manage music.
Also, you'll need to remember to eject the iPod (using the button next the iPod in iTunes) before you physically disconnect it.

Hi,I'm trying to put all of the songs on my ipod classic to a hard drive for back up but it's only adding songs that I have purchased from the store but none of the albums that I put on from my cd collection.Is there a way to do this please?

Hi,I'm trying to put all the songs from my ipod classic onto an external hard drive,but it is only putting purchases from itunes onto hard drive and not any of my old cd's that I put onto the ipod manually.Am I doing something wrong?Thanks.

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

We are supposed to be charged once for apps, that we have purchased in the past.

Why am I being charged twice for two one time charges? I re-installed Angry Birds and the Eagle. I had purchased these two softwares previously and have installed and deleted other times. After I had installed this time,I decided I didn't want it, because of the constant reminders coming up on my iPhone that the Eagle was ready to go, etc. Plus the welcome back, using an old ID, apparently from some distant time, when I originally started using Apple Aps. So,those three things, being over charged, for the two items, and the constant annoying announcements. How do I get this taken care of?
Thank You,

Were they originally downloaded via the same account (content is tied to the account that downloaded it) and you haven't moved countries ? Also how did you re-download them, from the main of the store or the Purchased tab (re-downloading) ? Y ou can contact 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, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I can not download 19 songs that I recently downloaded it is telling me that my device is not authorized. I have had this nano for many years and never had a problem downloading songs until now. I have even went as far as to restore the nano and it still

I can not download 19 songs that I recently purchased on my laptop. I am getting the message that my Nano is not an authorized device. Even though I have had it for years and it has many songs downloaded from my laptop. I even decided to do the restore and it is still saying that the 19 songs can not be downloaded to my nano. I did recently upgrade my window's 7 version. Maybe this has created the problem.

Yes, the upgrade is the likely cause.
First you should try to deauthorize your computer/iTunes library before attempting to authorize it again. To do this, click the Store drop down menu in iTunes and choose Deauthorize this Computer. Then enter in your iTunes account credentials.
When it has finished, choose Store -> Authorize this Computer and again enter in your Apple ID account credentials.
Finally, try resyncing your Nano to see if that makes a difference.

Can no longer play music that I previously purchased

After performing the iTunes and Quicktime upgrades last night, I discovered today that I can no longer play songs that I previously downloaded from the music store. I also cannot preview any songs in the music store, and I'm assuming that if I actually tried to purchase a song that it also wouldn't work. When I try to play a song from my iTunes library that I previously purchased, a window comes up saying that "this computer is not authorized to play this song" and requires me to enter my password. After I do that, it generally comes up with a message saying that machine authorization is successful, and that I have 2 machines authorized, although it requires me to do this every time I try a different song. After the supposed successful authorization, it starts "accessing the music store" (which makes no sense to me since these songs have been in my own library for over a year) and ultimately comes back with different error messages, including "We couldn't complete your music store request...The music store is temporarily unavailable" or just simply "there was an error in the music store" or "an unknown error occurred." The error numbers vary - 5555, 403, etc. Why is it even trying to access the music store when these are songs that are sitting in my own library?! Now iTunes is simply closing unexpectedly. I know I'm not the only one (to say the least) having problems, and I hope someone figures it out soon since we all have hundreds of dollars worth of music on our computers that we can't listen to. Unfortunately, I plugged my iPod in today to update it, and I'm scared to even find out what's been erased from it.

Alli hello,
Quit iTunes...
Download Cocktail and start the program... click on the 'interface' Icon and tick 'Show Invisible Items' then click the Restart button...
In a finder window click on the Icon that is your Boot Volume in the Side Bar ... select users ... select shared folder ... select the folder named 'SC info' and put it in the trash and empty it ... Do Not touch any other file.
Pathway looks like this HD > users > shared > SC info > SC Info.sidb
Go back to the Cocktail 'interface' window and untick Show Invisible Items and click restart .. quit Cocktail.
Start iTunes after deletinng this folder and it will prompt you to enter your authorization information again ... see now if your problem still exists...
Let's know how you get on Alli ... take care ... TP

I am have trouble getting music I have already purchased in the past to transfer to my phone after I did an update. The music is there and I can see it but it cannot be played when the music is put on shuffle. It just skips right past it? How do you fix?

I am having trouble.getting music that I have purchased in the past to transfer to my phone after I did recent update on the phone. I can see the music, it is in a lighter font and appears to still be there but will not play. When placed on shuffle it will skip right over this music. I have already paid for this music and have been able to play it at one time but that was before the update. Why can I not listen to this music anymore?

Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

Why are some of my songs that i have downloaded into itunes not showing in the cloud?

why are some of my songs that i have downloaded into itunes not showing

If you have content eligible for icloud then you can stream it directly. Of course any local content requires your computer on and running iTunes to be able to see your library.

Why can't i sync songs from other sources in my library into my iPhone?

why can't i play songs from other sources in my liberay that i sync in my phone

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

TS3297 How to redownload a song that only downloaded 1/2 the song on a computer?

How do you redownload a song that only downloaded 1/2 the song on a computer and then jumps to the next song?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

The songs are on iTunes And I try to add them to my iPhone And it fails!
have tried many times, what am I wrong?
Thank you in advance!

Are you manually dragging and dropping files in an attempt to move music from your client itunes to your idevice? And seeing the process hang and potentially locking itunes?
I have been having similar issues, but recently found something that works for my ipad air. Not sure if this will help you but...
In your itunes client music library:
Right click on one music file
Hover over the Add to Playlist option
Select a playlist from your iphone in the side popup window
See if that helps move the music file over. If it does, test out the original drag and drop on a new file. The move to playlist option seemed to clear whatever blockage I had and I'm not dragging and dropping with ease.
