Q: I can't find a song on iTunes

I recently had to get a new apple ID. On the old ID I bought a song and I want to re-purchase it so I can add it to a new device but I can't find it in the iTunes store anymore. Is there a way to share it between devices? I tried airdrop and that wouldn't work.

    It's possible that the rights-holder has removed it from your country's store.

     

    You can't share music between devices, and all content that you buy/download from the store is permanently tied to the account that downloaded it. If you still have it on a device you should be able to copy it over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (if the account that bought it is authorised on that computer), and sync it to a different device.
