Why won't all of my purchased songs transfer from my iphone to my laptop

i got a new laptop and i tried downloading all of my songs that i purchased from itunes on my phone to the itunes library on my computer and only 206 of the 802 songs were transferred and i can't find out why.

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.

  • Why won't all of my smart playlists sync from itunes to my ipad?

    Why won't all of my smart playlists sync? They show up in the playlist screen of my ipad music app. When I click on the playlist, there are no songs listed. I sync it again, and the playlist now shows zero songs in the list. I keep trying to sync it, and it goes back and forth from showing there are 60 songs in the playlist, which I can't play, to showing zero songs. Please help.

    Yes, sorry, you are correct, it was iTunes Match. I purchased storage on iTunes Match (probably a bad idea), because I had over 1000 songs on my i-phone 4S -which is eating up my storage space. Well, anyway...After I purchased it, I followed the instructions: go to: Settings, "open" music, "Turn on" iTunes Match. After I did that, I opened up the Music App -on my phone -ALL of my playlists were gone and only 208 songs showed... I messed up my phone once before and I had to log into my i-Tunes account (on my computer) and "reset" to another date. I would like to do that again -if possible...
    Please help!

  • Why won't iCal on my MacBook Pro sync from my iPhone via iCloud?

    i have iCloud and the latest updates on both my MacBook Pro and iPhone, yet iCal on my MacBook Pro does not sync from my iPhone. what should i do?
    also, what's the advantage of having the @me.com email account that iCloud requires? is this causing the problem?
    help! thanks

    Having an @me.com address allows you to use Mail with iCloud, but has nothing to do with your problem. If you create an event on the iPhone, then go to icloud.com, does it show up there? Alternatively, make sure Calendar is turned on under Settings > iCloud, and confirm your Apple ID.

    Hey Etti101,
    I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

  • How can i remove all of the purchased songs from my phone?

    I want to remove all of the purchased songs from my phone, but I'm not having any success.  I've transferred the purchases to iTunes, and turned off the cloud on my phone, but they are still there.  They will not let me delete them...

    It's an iPhone 5S, I'm running the latest OS, 8.1.
    OK, maybe time to get extreme.  I've had similar experiences, sometimes occurring after making direct-to-device purchases and sometimes after doing an iOS update.  In the two times I've experienced what you've seen I've fixed it by digging deeper, bear with me:
    If your iPhone is not set for manual management, do so. (i.e. select "Manually manage music and video")
    While connected to iTunes, navigate the contents of the iPhone.  Select all songs and delete them.  Ignore the gray ones if still present.
    Eject the iPhone and go to Settings/ General/ Usage/ Manage Storage.  Let the list populate then select the Music category.  In the next screen, swipe across "All Songs" from right to left and tap Delete.
    Connect back to iTunes, perform a backup, then restore the iPhone and reload the backup.
    Your iPhone should now have its settings, accounts, and apps back, but no music -- not even the "ghost" entries.  Add the music back that you want, either via manually dragging and dropping from iTunes, or auto-syncing all or a portion of your library.
    Some people reported luck with just step #3.  The problem I've had with that, is any music that I want remaining on the iPhone gets corrupted, such that playback will skip and/or show the wrong artwork.  By deleting all music first, then following up with a restore, that seems to clear the problem.  Personally I avoid direct-to-device purchases since I've had spooky occurrences almost every time where the purchases are very difficult to remove.

    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • I synced ipod to itunes (windows), it removed all my single purchased songs. I can see the songs in itunes, but they are gray

    I synced ipod to itunes (windows), itunes removed all my single purchased songs from my iphone. I can see the songs in itunes, but they are gray and I can't move them back to my iphone or to any other device.  I can't play them on the computer in itunes, I can't move them back to my iphone (where original purchase was made), and I can't move them into another ipod.

    I had the Itunes store do this to one song out of three I downloaded. I went back to the Itunes store and reclicked on the song to download it again. It ran the download again and got the complete song this second time. Then I just resynced with my Itunes and all is fixed.

  • Why can I only see my purchased songs and not my entire library when I use an ipad?

    Why can I only access my 'purchased' songs when I sign into an ipad with my AppleID.  How can I access my entire itunes library (purchased, playlists and downloaded music)?

    If it's iTunes purchased music then you might be able to re-download it on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app - it will download into the Music app. If you want your other music from your computer's iTunes (e,g. music copied from CDs and playlists) then you will need to sync it from your computer's iTunes to your iPad's Music app.

    What are you doing to try to transfer them and what error are you getting? There are probably a dozen possible reasons, so narrowing it down would be very helpful.

    Why won't my new music purchased on my iPad not coming up on my iPhone??

    On your phone, go to settings> App Store and iTunes> Turn on Automatic downloads for Music.  This should cause music purchases made on other devices to be downloaded automatically to phone.
