New purchased/added music not showing up in iTunes music library

I am having the same issue, i purchased a new album today. and it was not having issues. but afterward 5 songs out of it didn't show up in my library with the rest, but it says "purchased" next to those songs while the others say "play" and it says purchased under the album. what happened to those songs! so frustrating

I have the same problem on my iPad except I recently purchased several songs and albums, deleted them to get more storage, and now I'm trying to undo that

Now itunes wants me to buy all of it again, I'm just really angry at this

TIMSTER - Thank you so much. Totally idiotic to remove a default setting like that. Everything was working before until I "updated" and that setting gets switched. Pathetic.

But, you saved our Thanksgiving evening.

I am so frustrated. Since I updated my iphone 5 to the 7 operating system, the songs I download through the itunes store do not show up on my iphone's itunes. I transfer them to my computer and they show up there but will not show up on my iphone itunes. I even make a playlist on my computer's itunes and put some of the newly purchased songs on that playlist. When I download that playlist to my iphone, those new songs are mysteriously not there although the rest of the playlist is. I've tried lots of tricks mentioned on this board but nothings worked. I dont use match and have restarted my computer and itunes....

Please help! Thank you!

This information was just given to me via the Apple Chat Support & seemed to work for me.

Please take the following steps to see if this resolves the issue you are having.

1. Locate and click on Edit right next to File in the application toolbar at the top of the application, and click Preferences.

2. From there, click on the Advanced tab, and click on Reset warnings and Reset cache, then click OK.

3. From there, close the iTunes application.

4. From there, open the Music folder on your computer. You can locate this folder by clicking the Start menu, then going to Music. Once you locate the Music folder, open it and then open the iTunes Media folder and open the Downloads folder. If there are any items in the Downloads folder, go ahead and delete them and empty the trash.

5. From there, go ahead and reopen iTunes and try the download again.

Hope this helps

Not sure if anyone posted this but i had this issue on my iPad. Purchased songs seemed to vanish without a trace. I couldn't find them by searching and iTunes tried to get me to buy them again. Turns out these purchases became hidden. Here's how I fixed it on my iPad:

1. Opened iTunes Store

2. Tapped my Apple ID on the bottom left corner of main music store page

3. Selected view account option

4. Selected hidden purchases option

5. From there I was able to redownload missing songs from the cloud.

Everything now shows up in my music library. Hope this helps!

After updating to the new issue of itunes (11.1.4.62) which by the way I had problems with. I purchase a song on my ipad and it did not show up on my download list on itunes in my windows pc running windows 7. I checked my iphone and it did show up there. To make a long story short after trying many things to correct hte problem I did the following and it worked for me:

Go to edit, choose preferences from the drop dowm menu, choose store, check the "show itunes in the cloud purchases box and click apply. When you sign onto itunes the song will appear with the cloud icon next to it and you can click that to download the song. Hope it works for you.

Thanks Barry,

That was exactly the solution for the problem!

Thanks Barry261! Fixed the problem. My music I had purchased through itunes was showing up on my iphone, but not in the Library on Itunes. Followed your instructions and fixed it instantly! Thanks.

You gotta be kidding me! Barrry UBDAMAN! Why the heck my purchase is in the cloud is beyond me. Oh well, thanks again for the fix Barry!

Cheers

I have the same issue. All of my songs/records show up on my IPhone, but not my computers. I made sure to authorize both of my computers, and then click "search for downloadable content", nothing, but low and behold it shows up on my IPhone to download.

What gives?
