Why wont the music i purchased on my iphone show up on my pc?

I have tried "transferring purchases" and many other things, but none have worked.

They are not stored at icloud.com, your purchases can only be seen and re-downloaded via iTunes.

    Need help, I want to download all the music I purchased through my iphone and computer from the first date i had iphone to date, and keep it in both my computer and iphone.

    You cannot synch the other way, with the exception of songs purchased on iTunes.
    What you need to do is move the iTunes library from the computer to which you've been synching your phone and put it on your new MacBook. 

  • HT1848 Why is some of the music I purchased on my iPhone through iTunes not transferring to my iTunes account on my computer?

    There are some purchases I made on my iPhone out of the iTunes store that aren't getting recognized in iTunes on my computer. I've clicked the "Check for Available Downloads" as well as "Transfer Purchases from my device" and neither have resolved the issue. What am I missing? What do I need to do to get this music recognized in iTunes on my computer? My fear is that if I sync my iTunes to my iPhone, it will delete the music that isn't recognized and I'll have to repurchase which isn't cool. Please help.

    Is iTunes on your computer authorized for the Apple ID used to purchase the music?

  • Ios 5.1 issue - why have the music controls been disabled when iphone is docked?

    I just updated my iphone 4s yesterday, and immediately I have a huge problem.
    When I dock the phone in my car (using a Denison dock) OR connect it via bluetooth to my car stereo, all of the music controls are locked!
    The Music App becomes a white screen with "device connected" written on it, and there is no way for me to play/pause/skip/browse music on the handset.
    Even double-clicking the home button, the audio controls are greyed-out and don't function.
    I am furious about this, why break something that was working perfectly before?   It's not for safety reasons because the iphone is happy for any other app to be used while docked.  I use my iphone in the car all the time, and it is utterly USELESS if I can't use the Music app normally.
    I have tested with docks at home, and this issue seems to occur only when the connected device can also control the iphone.  I need to stress that no car controls can allow easy use of the Music app - it means you have to take the device off the dock to make any changes in what you're listening to.
    PLEASE can this go back to the way it was!?

    Found another post with a similar issue after upgrading to ios 5 and this worked for him, I might try this tonight and will re-post if it worked for ios 5.1:
    1)Connect phone
    2)Hightlight your phone on the left side of the iTunes window
    3)Click on the music tab towards the top middle of the iTunes window
    4)Uncheck "sync music"
    5) Click "Apply" down on the bottom right  At either this step or the preceding step you might get a
    pop up box that says "you have made changes" or something like that, click okay or apply.
    6)After this is finished, check to make sure there is no music left on your iPhone by double clicking on your
    iPhone in the left hand pane of iTunes and then click on "music" under your iPhone
    7)If there is no music on your iPhone, then recheck the "sync music" and then click "apply" down in the
    bottom righ.
    8)If you have a lot of music it will take hours to sync, but when finished your Dock accesorries should work again.

  • Why is the music on my iPod randomly not letting me play? all my good ones are the ones I purchased won't play, my storage is fine. I tap on the song but it skips to a completly different song on iPod but not laptop

    Why is the music on my iPod randomly not letting me play? all my good ones are the ones I purchased won't play, my storage is fine. I tap on the song but it skips to a completly different song on iPod but not laptop. For example both versions of Til' I Collapse by Eminem won't play on my iPod but on laptop, same with Born this Way by Lady Gaga

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

    why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

    I have a similar problem.  Originally, my iTunes advanced setting was set such that a shortcut to the song was copied into my music library so sometimes copying songs to my iPod resulted in them being grayed out.  I changed that setting some time ago and haven't had the problem until recently.
    I don't know what to do.  here's the situation:
         1.  I have a song that is stored on my file system within My Documents. (it was purchased via Amazon)
         2.  Through iTunes I choose the File | Import file to library (or some text like that)
         3.  I navigate to the location of the song
         4.  I import it.
         5.  I can play the tune from the music library or from an internal PC playlist.
         6.  I then attempt to copy the song to my iPod.  When I do, it appears in the iPod's playlist grayed out.
    I have done those steps countless times for dozens of songs without a problem.  Even others that I've purchased through Amazon.  What is so different this time?  I should mention that this problem NEVER happens if I buy the song through the iTunes store.  Only if I buy it from another source (e.g. Amazon).  WHY ???

    I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.

    settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
    Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
    You can't merge apple id.

  • Itunes is not recognizing my ipod.  there is no sync under file.  I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.

    itunes is not recognizing my ipod.  there is no sync under file.  I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.
    can anyone help?

    Do you see your iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window in the source list when it's connect to your Mac?
    BTW...  you sync iTunes media from the tabs in the iTunes menu, not from the File menu unless you are transferring iTunes purchases from the iPod to your Mac.
    Might need to zoom to see this graphic. I have "Music" selected as an example.

    My hard  drive crashed.  How do I get the music I purchased from Itunes back?

    Thanks Roaminggnome,
    I just spoke with a friend who like you is into Apple and he just walked me through the Cloud.  At least I was able to get those songs back. 
    Thanks.
    Do you know --- the last time I tried to back up my itunes it asked for 106 cd's do you how to direct the backup to the external drive?   By the way I found 3 back up cds from 2010 and 1 of the 3 cd's had an error.
    Sincerely,
