Just connected 4K Apple TV and all my iTunes purchased music is not showing.
I remember having this issue on my phone years ago and there was aome
kind of hidden option.
how can I have all my Purchased iTunes music show on the Apple TV?
The Music app on Apple TV (4th generation or later) is for access to Apple Music subscription content, and/or iTunes Match subscription content, as well as iTunes Store purchases, all for the currently active Apple ID account.
For music files from other sources (e.g. converted audio CDs), one should probably use Home Sharing (that would be the Computers app on Apple TV).
Where did the ‘missing’ music that is on your phone come from? If it were not iTunes Store purchases, then they probably would be synced through a computer, right?

All music I am referring to are purchased iTunes songs.
I am merely seeking access to all songs on the Apple TV that I have purchased from my iTunes account.
No cd’s or other content have been referenced.
please advise
Yes they are
I just purchased and connected a new 4K Apple TV. I went to the iTunes icon on the Apple TV and clicked on songs. Not all of my purchased songs are accessible on the Apple TV. I have the songs on my phone but some are not reflecting on my Apple TV.
I already signed out of iTunes on the Apple TV and restarted the Apple TV and some songs are still not there.
please advise
If you have purchased songs over many years it is possible that some are not associated with your current AppleID. I have had to use xx@mac, xx@me and now xx@icloud as Apple has changed its services and this has sometimes caused problems with legacy purchases. Having said that, it is strange that you can access those songs on your iPhone and not ATV.
Assuming you have access to iTunes on a Mac...
To check my speculation about mixed purchase names locate the working and non-working songs in iTunes, right-click and select Song Info. Is the "purchased by" field exactly the same?
I think that iOS devices, Macs and ATV work slightly differently with purchased music and "alias" (legacy) Apple IDs.
Hello,
Can you please elaborate more on your question?
Are those song’s still available in the iTunes Store?
I would think so. I have them on my iphone
They could be on your phone but no longer be available in the store, best to verify.
Just checked one song specifically and it’s there with the “Play” option which reflects that I purchased the song.
I meant doing a search within the iTunes store to verify that the songs in question are still available.
Then you will need to contact iTunes as to why they are not showing up for you on Apple TV. I can verify it works as intended on my system.
