Downloaded music gone after authorizing computer?? Where is it??
I recently purchased a new Dell laptop with Windows 8 and downloaded I Tunes. I had it on my old laptop & everything worked just fine. I had been purchasing music from the I Tunes store but had not had a chance to sync my I Pod Nano lately. I tried today and it wouldn't at first because my new laptop had not been authorized. Once I got this issue resolved, I could log in to I Tunes and see the music I needed to download as each song had the little cloud and arrow on it. I selected Download ALL and then they did- the status bar at the top was moving showing the songs and then it finished.
However, when I went to plug my I Pod in to the USB to sync it like I used to do on the old laptop, it required that I log back in to I Tunes- which I did. At that point, a new screen opened for my I Pod and the purchased music was no longer on the screen. It wasn't anywhere. I selected check for available downloads and it says all have been downloaded. But where??? The new music did show up on my I Pad and I Phone immediately- and that's great- but I wanted it on my I Pod. The only music showing on my I Pod and in my Library on I Tunes are the songs that were already on there.$ 14 later- I only have the music on 2 of the 4 devices.
How do I find the music again in I Tunes or use my I Pad to get the music to sync to my I pod? Where is the music that I downloaded on my laptop? I've looked everywhere. I called the City Mac store and they suggested plugging my I Pad into my computer but the options they told me to try didn't even come up to back it up to my laptop... so now I can't even do that either... So frustrated. Any help from anyone?? Thanks in advance.
