Purchased icon not showing on itunes

Hi Winston, thanks for The prompt reply. That's exactly my point: this icon isn't showing at all. On the app store I can see purchases and the iCloud icon allows me to redownload previous sets but not on iTunes. When accessing iCloud for the first time I had problems with the setup and eventually ended up changing account details but still that doesn't explain this icon/service not being available for recent purchases, right? Thanks again.

Hi. The App store works fine: recent and old purchases are displayed and pressing the icloud icon allows me to redownload apps purchased 3 years ago. It´s iTunes that´s not working at all: on the bottom menu, the purchased icon doesn´t show and I´m unable to retrieve any music purchased unless I sync the iPhone to iTunes store on pc/mac. As for the issues when accessing icloud for the first time, this had to do with the fact that I had to change log in details (change of email address demanded for a new password), but other than that all the remaining details on the iTunes account remained unchanged. This led for icloud not to recognize itunes account details at first, but after a while everything seemed to be fine. In summary, App store displays old and recent purchases and okay to download them via icloud; iTunes store on desktop displays old and recent music purchases and allows downloads via icloud (by clicking the icon), so it´s all down to iTunes store on iPhone not allowing for me to use this option. Thanks.

Ciao Paolo,

Thanks for your input.

I was wondering if this glitch was to be pinned on my local iTunes store (Portugal) only; apparently this is not the case.

It woud be important to add that I can view some of the recently purchased songs through "Other" (Altro) but - again - not all titles show, and icloud icon is nowhere to be found.

I´ve performed the following test: deleting two recently purchased songs from itunes on desktop and then accessing iPhone to see if these would show for redownloading through iCloud. Outcome? Nothing.

Thankfully iTunes store allows me to retrieve these files via iCloud, so in the end no harm done.

Still, with this unresolved issue I cannot risk purchasing iTunes Match, as I may end up not being able to use the service at all.

I hope that someone out there can shed some light on this, and more importantly that Apple is keeping an eye on what goes on in support communities

Fingers crossed...
