Q: Songs will play on my phone but not on computer so can i transfer them back to the computer?

What im wondering is if i can transfer songs back to the computer. Random songs on itunes just randomly changed to being unable to locate on itunes. I have searched on the computer for them but cant seem to find them and some were downloaded off of itunes while some were transfered by disc. All the songs missing are scattered around all the devices in the family and i hope that we can get them off of the devices.

Hi ScoutMaster4,

Thanks for the question, and great job so far. When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. You may have already attempted to track down the lost content, but I wanted to provide you with this article just in case:

If your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

And finally, you can transfer the purchases back to your computer by following these steps:

Thanks,
