I have an old MacPro from 2007 that I purchased music from iTunes back to 2015. Why does it not show up in my account or library since I purchased it through iTunes. How do I get it back into my account and on to my new MacBook Air?

How do I get it back into my account
Do you mean your account on your old MacBook Pro?
1.
It depends on what you did with your 'that Apple ID'. If you have deleted it, it is no longer valid, it simply no longer exists and it no longer works.
To understand about a deleted Apple ID, see the Apple articles below:

If you stil have / know that Apple ID, check your Apple ID via your email box, see this Apple article: If you forgot your Apple ID

Do you use a 'new' Apple ID on your MacBook Air?
Your Apple ID is the personal account you use with all Apple products and services. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in, as well as the contact, payment, and security details that you use with Apple.
You can’t merge multiple Apple ID accounts.

You can’t merge multiple Apple ID accounts.
On your MacBook Air -> start Music -> tap iTunes Store (side bar) -> show my account -> sign in.
(In the right pane) -> scroll to Purchase history -> tap See All -> tap Last 90 Days, then select a different date range.
Nope. nada. zilch. I see the purchase but there is no option to add into your library. It just shows purchase history and what album was bought. I see a Dave Matthews Lice trap, vol.6: Fenway Park bought Dec 1 2012 and order number but no way to add it. I log back in and nothing. Can't Apple just upload all my previous album purchase back into my account? What you gave me is just an order history with no avenue of adding back into my Library.

It is the same Apple ID nothing has changed
Why can't iTunes look up archives in my account and the purchases can easily be found and transferred/downloaded to my account. Not hard.
OK 👍
What happens when you click Music, then go to Music Library?
Thanks I see but how do you add them back into my current library?
If you log in with the same Apple ID (MBP & MBA), it would automatically be added to the Music Library.
Any ideas on how to get these past purchased back into my iTunes library account?
