Missing music after purchase

Bought a song off iTunes yesterday and have been billed and the song isn’t anywhere to be seen

I’ve tried all the usual things

Also, searches the song again and it comes up as if I’ve not bought it yet

Missing Song I am noticing a missing song I purchased not in my music library. Not showing in the iTunes App either under the purchased tab. I have the receipt for the purchase. Would like the song back since I bought it.

Newly purchased music disappeared and won’t download For context: I’ve gone through the forums and looked into hidden purchases. I’ve checked storage and I’ve restarted my phone. I bought one song on iTunes using my iPhone. I saw it downloading on the app. I closed the app to open Music. I saw the song pop up in Recently Added for a literal, and I mean literal, split second and then disappear. I checked the Artists and Songs tab — nothing. I checked the Downloaded tab — nothing. I went back to iTunes, and I went to buy the song again, assuming there was some kind of glitch, but it told me I already bought the song — so I didn’t go through with buying it again. I went to the Purchased tab on iTunes and found the song there. I hit download and it went into the animation that said it was downloading. I checked Music and saw that it said it was downloading so I clicked the Downloading tab and saw that there was a blank icon with no song name next to it, and that despite saying it was downloading, nothing appeared to be happening. I cancelled download after about thirty minutes and tried again. Same thing. Restarted my phone and tried again. Same thing. Does anyone know what I can try next? It was only $.99 but it’s incredibly frustrating.

Had the same issue

Make sure you have the correct apple id... then go to Settings-> Itunes and App Store -> Apple ID -> Sign out.

After signing out, close all your open apps then follow this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201272

Key is to sign back in directly in the itunes app. If you're still having trouble, you can always contact support :)
