help with iTunes

I have a new laptop, downloaded the lastest iTunes software, signed in with my apple ID - authorized computer and I see my purchased music from cloud only. What happened to my purchases such as music and apps before Icloud? I use an Iphone 5S and ipod 5 touch.


Thanks

Also copy the com.apple.iTunes.plist preference file from /Home/Library/Preferences/. The Library file is invisible, so see the following:
