Songs that were not purchased on iTunes may not be available to download from the cloud.

Mar 10, 2015 8:20 PM in response to VAJoshuaTreeby cwalker1144,I had exactly 1213 songs in my previous library and when i got my new computer there was about 200 on it. Most of my other songs were downloaded through CDs and other means so I'm not worried about that but my question was referring to the songs that I did purchase on the iTunes store that are not showing up in my library.

Go to Itunes, Advanced Preferences, There is a section that says iTunes media folder location.
You can set this up to direct all your music files to a new location i.e a flash drive.

Mar 10, 2015 9:05 PM in response to cwalker1144by gail from maine,If the songs your purchased were purchased under the same Apple ID that you have currently signed on to iTunes on your computer then your purchases will show up. Click on iTunes Store, and under Music Quick Links, click on Purchased>Songs>Not in My Library. All of your past purchases that are not on your current computer will show up with the cloud next to them. Click on the individual songs to download them selectively, or click on Download All at the bottom of the screen to download all of them.
You must be sure that:
The Computer is Authorized to the Apple ID that you made the purchases with
iTunes is signed on to the Apple ID that you made the purchases with
If your songs are all in the "All" Category, but none show in the Not in My Library category, are the songs that you believe are missing showing in the All list? If not, then one of the two items above is probably not as stated.
Cheers,

Mar 10, 2015 9:06 PM in response to gail from maineby cwalker1144,The songs are not in the 'Not In My Library' tab. They are under the 'All' tab. However, they are not in my library.

Mar 10, 2015 9:12 PM in response to cwalker1144by gail from maine,OK, a couple of things to try:
1. Go to the View menu option and select "Show Music in the Cloud" if it is not already selected. Once that is selected, do you see any songs in your library (not purchased, your actual music library) that have a cloud next to them?
2. Take a look at the troubleshooting steps in this Support article for iTunes for Windows:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads - Apple Support
Also, just to make sure - you are running the latest version of iTunes, correct?
Cheers,
