Error Msg: Song could not be copied to iphone because it could not be found. The song is on my iphone already because i purchased it from itunes and now i can't play it on my computer because I get that error msg, help?

Iphone 5

Windows 7

I just purchased Weird Al's "Tacky: parody of Happy" a few days ago. (don't judge)

I plugged my iphone into my computer to download my recent purchases to my library so I could make some new playlists it gives me the error message...

""Tacky" was not copied to the iPhone "xxx's iPhone" because it could not be found."

I'm hoping someone out there can help. Thanks. :-)

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2, Windows 7 PC

Hello Carpathianna,

No judgment here on the music you listen to, I have that song too in my library. If iTunes is telling you that the song is missing and you purchased it from the iTunes Store, then just delete it from your iTunes library and then download your song again. Check out the articles below for more information.
