Why is only some of my music showing?

Okay, so I think I have cloud, but I did not pay for anything so I am not sure. Anyways, a while back I downloaded everything I ever bought, and had it all on here. Now, only four or five albums are showing, and I have bought like atleast 300 songs in the past, and tons of videos and apps, and none of it is showing. I click Check for Available Downloads and it says all have been downloaded for this apple ID. How can I recover all my music!?

Hey livelaughlove23,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like iTunes in the Cloud purchases have either been hidden, or you are no longer signed into your Apple ID on the computer. You can check the iTunes Store preferences:
iTunes 11 for Windows: iTunes Store preferences

Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
Display items purchased from the iTunes Store that haven’t been downloaded to your computer. These items have a Download button next to them.
For more information on downloading past purchases, see this article:

Also, here is a handy video that explains iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match:

  • Why do only some of my photos show up in apps like instagram

    When I try to post a picture on instagram and some other apps, its says I have about 100 photos in the "all photos" folder, when really I have 2 thousand. The pictures that are showing up are about half my most recent photos, then a lot of totally random pictures from the past. Does this have something to do with the camera roll? In instagram when i look at all the folders available, there's only a few and there are less photos in them. Why can't i access all of them?! It was fine about a week ago. I don't know what changed.

    Hi. This sounds like a refresh issue. Can you try the following. Navigate within PS Touch one level up to the "Local Photos" - see attached scrrenshot. After that try to access your photos form the Camera Roll again.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why are only some of my songs showing up on my ipod?

    My itunes says that I have 3264 songs on my Ipod but when i unplug it my ipod is only showing that I have 457 songs. I have tried resyncing my ipod but that doesn;t seem to do anything. I don't have my autofill settings on choose songs randomly so I don't know what is going on? it is also really random about which songs it has and which ones it doesn't so it is not like some albums are appearing and others are not. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hello samanthaflora
    If you see a cloud option, then you have the option of Show All Music turned on. If you go to Settings > Music and look for that option, you can turn it off to not show any of your purchased history to show up in the Music App. Try that and then sync the music again to see if it still shows up as double.  If it is, then could you take a screen shot and add it to the reply so that way we can see what you are describing to better assist you.

  • I got a new windows computer and I can't transfer all of my music to it from my old computer. I have some music on my phone but not all of it so when I plug it in only some of my music shows up and none of my playlists.

    I got a new Lenovo Windows computer and I'm trying to transfer my iTunes library to my new computer. I can't figure out how. I tried plugging in my iPhone and it synched what music was on my phone but I don't have my entire library on my phone and none of my playlists transferred. I tried authorizing my computer and it is but it still isn't showing up. I turned on my homesharing on my new and old computer but apparently I have two other computers I have authorized and I don't know which ones they are, probably ones that have been thrown out. What do I do now?

    iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Why did only some of my photos show u on my photo stream ever since I had to restore it?

    I had to go to apple to fix something on my iPad today. They had to restore my iPad. I finally got back home so I can start redownloading apps and stuff, but on my photo stream only a small portion of my pictures showed up and no more are loading. Why are my pictures showing up!!!!

    Only 'new' photos show up. 'Old' ones, such as ones taken before hte restore, don't show up.
    If you load your last backup after restoring then everything comes back (as long as the photos are still part of your Photo Stream).  I happened to restore my iPhone 5 last night to clear up Other and everything in Photo Stream and all my streamed albums came back just as they were before restoring.
    Now, if you're referring to not loading a backup after restoring, then you will lose Camera Roll and possibly streamed albums, but I'm pretty sure that your main Photo Stream will always come back if you sign back into your iCloud account (perhaps not though ... and maybe this is what you're referring to?)

  • After upgrading to IOS 5 on my iPad only some books in iBooks show content. They were fine before the upgrade. I made a new version in Pages and reinstalled them on the iPad. Still nothing. What is the fix?

  • Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos

    Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos, even if taken at same time. All advice greatly appreciated.

    First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

  • Only some of the music in my library will synch to my ipad

    I have ripped a number of CD's to my PC music library, but when I try to synch this music to my Ipad only some of the music appears.  Ideas?

    First check what format the music was ripped in, I think that the idevices only support AAC, so you may have to right click and convert.
    Also check and see of you have sync entire library or sync selected library under the device settings when the iPad is connected to iTunes, and then make sure the right checkboxes are seleceted.
    Please ask if you are unsure about what I mean for any of this. Good luck.

    Hello Karelyn,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    I don't see photos in My Photo Stream on my iOS device.
    Ensure that the Camera app is closed on the device that took the photo. Photos will not upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure that your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
    Best of luck,

  • Why do only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone?

    Why do only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone?
    I have noticed that only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone, does anyone know why?
    Thanks,

    Depends on how the movies are encoded for Quicktime (i.e. which compression/codec). The iPhone supports only H.264 video.

  • Why are only SOME metadadta selectable?

    Why are only SOME metadadta selectable? (and this cmd - C copy-able)
    If your try to select 'Pixel Size', you can.
    If you try to select 'Aperture', you can not.
    If you try 'Orientation', you can.
    If you try 'Exposure Bias', you can not
    Why on earth does it do this? Why not just give access to all the fields?
    Aperture is so great at letting me attach metadata to my images, but it seems so limited in allowing you to get it back...

  • Q-10 Calandar not syncing with Outlook, only some of the appointments show up?

    Anyone know why when I sync my phone with my computer, only some of the appointments from outlook show up on my phone?  this just started happening about a week ago?  Did I turn something off?  any help would be appreciated.
    Tony 

    I do not know why but from what you said it started a week ago so I assume it was working before that.
    Can you remember installing any new apps or updates on your computer or phone around that time.

  • Why isn't all of my music showing up with iTunes Match?

    My old computer died so I can't access my original iTunes.  So I purchased the iTunes Match subscription in hopes of moving my music over to my other computer.  Much of my music showed up but there is a lot that didn't -- including CDs that I burned to my original library.  I've made sure to authorize my new computer -- so that's not the issue.  How can I get my entire library over to the new computer?

    Hi,
    Music can only be matched if it is actually in your library. If you subscribed to match on your old computer, then you should have access to them when you sign into match on your new computer.
    If you did not have a backup, you will have lost them.
