Song shows as "Purchased" in iTunes and won't let me re-download it, but it doesn't show up in my Purchased list. I want the song back, don't mind re-downloading, but it won't let me

You are most welcome!

Apple does not hide your albums. This is how Albums or other media gets hidden:

Hide and unhide purchases in iTunes or iBooks on your Mac or PC - Apple Support

I found a very simple solution. Open the iTunes Store, press search at the bottom and search for the song you want to redownload. Then purchase it again, and a little pop up will appear saying you already own the song and you can download it again for free. Hope this helped

I experienced an issue after enabling Apple Music, where I saw a duplication of tracks under albums. In an attempt to resolve, I removed the album and then found that on my Mac is was unable to re-download the album. It didn't appear in purchase history and it wasn't hidden. Looking up the album showed it as purchased, but there was no option to download.

I ran a Finder search for the artist/album and found a reference to it within an iTunes associated XML file. Eventually I decided to carry out an iTunes reset using the following information How to Reset iTunes Library on Mac and Windows PC. CAUTION!!! doing this will completely reset iTunes and you will most likely need to download all your content again and also re-associate your devices with, so proceed with caution.

After going through this process, the album that I had been having issues with was available to download again. FWIW prior to this I had spent months researching and reading many of the same threads as, before deciding that the best way to usually resolve an issue within MacOS is to look at resetting preferences.

Hi,

If you change view to on this computer, does it show the tracks that you have purchased and has downloaded after each track?

Spot on hldln sign out and sign in plus view account account info then putting the credit card security code worked for me. Thanks.

This guy is not going crazy.... I have exactly the same issue. And I know for a fact the songs are still available. This has happened with maybe 4/5 of the songs I have purchased.....?

Go to Store

At top you will see how many items are awaiting download. Click "Download Now."

(I had 28 items that for some reason were never downloaded!)

Just use Spotify it's far cheaper

You can only do that within 90 days of purchase
