I've bought a few random songs on my iPhone via iTunes, but they aren't available on my home computer which is an authorized device

I'm wondering if I've done something wrong--changed some settings maybe?--that is preventing those songs from being available. I've downloaded other things that are available on all my devices.

Windows 7, home computer

Howdy babrad08,


Provided that the purchases made on your iPhone were made using the same Apple ID, that your are signed in on iTunes on your computer using that same Apple ID, and that the songs are still available in the iTunes Store you should be able to download them again using the steps provided in this article -

If for some reason this is not working, you can also copy the songs directly from your iPhone to iTunes in the computer. Use the steps in this article -
