I accidentally deleted songs from library and now I can’t get them back on my phone?? I’m frustrated, I went to iTunes and recently purchased and they are not even there. And if I go to purchase them again, they just say purchased??? How do I get them back in my phone or even play them on iCloud.

iPhone 13, iOS 15

Troubleshooting Music Download Errors:


I. Getting these Downloadable:

  • Accessing your Purchases:

Go Here: See your Purchase History for the App Store, iTunes Store, and More - Apple Support


  • Adding these to Your Library:

Go Here: Add Music to iPod touch and Listen Offline - Apple Support


  • Resolving Music Issues:

Go Here: If there's an Issue when you Redownload Apps, Movies, or Other Content from Apple - Apple Support


II. Still Can't Find Them?:

  • Removed from iTunes Library:

Sometimes, items become removed from the iTunes library, and they never become accessible again. It all has to do with licensing between Apple and the Music Studio.


  • Unhide these Purchases:

Perhaps these have become Hidden Purchases? To see if that is the case, unhide them.
