Hey there gconlon12,
It sounds like you are not seeing your iTunes in the Cloud purchases anymore when you open iTunes, but you still see them in your iPhone. You were on the right track to check your iTunes preferences, so check this one next. You want to be sure Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases is enabled in the Store preferences.
iTunes 11 for Mac: iTunes Store preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12263
Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases |
Display items purchased from the iTunes Store that haven’t been downloaded to your computer. These items have a Download button next to them. |
If that is enabled, I would next verify that the Signed in Apple ID has not changed with this:
Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, and iBooks Store

- Open the latest version of iTunes.
- Choose Store > Sign In.
- Enter your Apple ID and password and click Sign In.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
