Songs in iCloud not showing in iTunes library

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Have been working on this and tried everything I thought would work but what you posted just pulled up all of my missing music!

This looks like the most likely solution to the problem I'm having as well. Call me stupid, but I don't see a "create new library" option anywhere in my iTunes menu? Can you elaborate on how to do that? I'm only seeing option to import or export libraries.

EDIT: Nevermind. On Windows, you hold Shift instead of Alt and it's easy from there. So far, this seems to be my solution as well. Can't wait to spend some time working on this later.

After 2 days is messing about this finally fixed it for me.

Thank you!

On iTunes 11.4 go to iTunes Preferences --> Store Preferences --> and ✅ "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases"

I tried several of the suggestions such as enabling view iTunes in the Cloud purchases etc but still wasn't seeing anything. I managed to get around it however, it seems there are some Terms & Conditions which I needed to agree to before any purchases would show up. I did the following (note this is iTunes 12, Yosemite beta, but hopefully should work with iTunes 11 etc):

1. Find a link to view your Previous Purchases in iTunes Store. In iTunes 12 there is a link in the dropdown next to the player window, where your name is shown.
2. Try to download something you previously purchased by clicking the little cloud/download icon.
3. A prompt will then come up asking you to agree to some Terms & Conditions. Once I had agreed, all my purchases showed up.

Hopefully this will help someone else who runs into this issue. On a sidenote, if there is one thing I really dislike about OS X it is all the Terms & Conditions you now have to agree to do anything, it's getting ridiculous. No human being can actually be expected to read all these Terms & Conditions and understand what they mean legally etc.

I try the same method as described by eodduck69 but unfortunately it didn't work on my Mac mini with mountain lion and iTunes 10.6.3

it is really frustrated to get back the music from iTunes match.

Any other workaround for this problem, kindly help please.

Thanks

this worked brilliantly and super simple. thanks!

I know this is a really post, but I came across a solution today that worked for me. But first, my context: I received a new CD, and ripped it, but after it was ripped, it did not show up in iTunes when sorted by Song. Using the three column browser, the artist did not appear. But when I searched for the artist, there they were!

I switched back to Song view, and they were gone again. I searched for the artist, then did a Get Info on the tracks.

Turns out, when I ripped the CD, the CDDB data was set to show the music as a compilation album (which it isn't). I unchecked the "Album is a compilation of songs by various artists" checkbox, and that cured the problem.

Just posting it here for others in the same situation. Scroll to the top of the Artists list and look under Compilations to see if your missing music is there.

i am in the same boat somewhat. i have itunes match on, got a new iphone and have only some of my tunes on it. even having wifi on, i cannot see all my music. my iPad sees all my tunes within iCloud and all. but no luck with my iphone 6s Plus. really tried of things not sync'ing and working with apple products when you upgrade to newer products.

I have been spending hours to find the solution and it is pretty straight forward

(sorry for the screenshots of the Dutch version ...)

itunes>preferences>general (first tab)

check the second box which should read something like iCloud-Music Library (red circle).
