iTunes 11 - not displaying songs purchased from iTunes store...
Upgraded to iTunes11 - and have immediately noticed what appears to be an issue with the new release.
When I purchase music from the iTunes store, it appears to download successfully to my Mac.
However, on completion of the download, the music does NOT appear in iTunes 11 library.
I checked the folder that iTunes downloads to - and discovered a 'downloads' file with all the music in there. It appears not to be 'processing' the music on completion of the download to display it in the library for playing.
I have found two workarounds though:
1) I went back to the iTunes store, to my purchase history, and 're-downloaded' the songs again - and this time they magically downloaded and displayed in my library on my Mac (note, the files in the 'download' file are still there and untouched)
2) As an experiement, I created a new iTunes library on an external hard drive - and purchased a song from the iTunes libray to see what would happen. This time the song downloaded - and DID appear in the iTunes libray that I had set up.
This leads me to conclude that iTunes 11 has somehow corrupted my original iTunes library and does not process downloaded songs correctly - or I need to import all my existing songs (over 12,000!) to my 'new' iTunes library which appears to work ok....
Anyone else come across this? Or is this just user error on my part?!!
