Q: Some songs don't download to my MacBook pro from an iphone purchase

Did you have 'automatic downloads' for music turned 'on' on your Mac when you bought them on your phone, and do they show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your Mac's iTunes for re-downloading ?

I am having the same problem. Very strange as iTunes is normally flawless in this regard. I bought several songs on my iPhone. When I click "check for purchases" on my MacBook Air, the system tells me that I have downloaded everything but I have not. Several songs are missing. If I navigate to the iTunes store on my MacBook Air, the songs are listed as "purchased" but there is no way to download them

Did you have automatic downloads for music enabled on your Mac's iTunes (on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences) when you bought them ? The 'check for available downloads' should find things such as automatic downloads that haven't been downloaded yet on your Mac and pre-orders, it doesn't automatically download all purchases made on other devices/computers. You can either connect the phone and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over, or do they appear under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading :
