Q: 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

Hi! I was having all kinds of problems with this. I just figured it out this way. You probably did what I did, you cut/pasted from your itunes library to your iphone/ipod whatever.

except you cannot cut/paste from iTunes to your iPhone.

Thank you!! This worked out perfectly. While I waited on the phone with Apple customer support, I found your post. So again, thank you so much.

Thanks diamond_geezer1974

In account info and above purchase history, the manage hidden purchase is exactly where my missing album went, even though I JUST bought it and did not click anything to hide it.  Wasted 3 hours finding this solution, but finally found it, thanks!

This happened to me too, and I was very upset about it. I tried to hide all of my song purchases since they were all downloaded accidentally to my families laptop, and that messed a lot of my purchases up. After reading a lot of these answers I decided to mess around with the ITunes store. I clicked on my apple ID at the very bottom of the ITunes store and pressed: view apple ID. Then I went to hidden Purchases, clicked on music, and then I pressed not on this phone. All of my songs were on there so I re-downloaded them. I now have all of my songs back. I hope this helps

This actually worked, unlike some other answers on this forum!

Thanks Jeroentenhaaf!
