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

I was having the same problem and just figured it out. Just like a lot of you, the fixes listed here didn't work for me. This is what I did:


1.) Open iTunes Store app


2.) Scroll to the bottom of the Music tab to your Apple ID


3.) Tap your Apple ID and select "View Apple ID"


4.) It will take you to your Account Settings and you'll scroll down to and select "Hidden Purchases"


5.) Select "Music" and it should all be there


6.) Select "Unhide" and it should automatically start downloading the songs.


Hope that helps!
