Q: After I upgraded to iTunes 11.1 the download button disappeared. How do I get it back?

After I upgraded my iTunes to versoin 11.1 a number of my songs suddenly showed that they were unavailable for download, but that I could play them from iCloud. I verified that I actually can stream and play them from the iOS devices that I own; but that's only useful if I'm in range  of a router or cell tower (not always the case!).

 

In the past, I could right-click on a song and choose Download from the context menu. That has disappeared. The online help says to use the Download button, but that button is not present. How can this functionality be restored?

iTunes, Windows 7

A:

I had this same issue after I upgraded. Have iTunes re-scan your library for iTunes Match (Click "Match" along the top row of your library -- Songs Albums Artists... etc.). After it finished re-scanning my library I could download songs again from iTunes Match.
