Q: I cannot download a particular song I purchased and I can't rebut it again as it says I own it. The song won't play, either. Help.

I am trying to import a song from my ITunes library to IMovie. The IMovie link shows I own the song but no music is associated with the link. When I go to ITunes, it shows I own the song, have played it 8 times, but there is no music attached. I can't rebuy the song as "play" is the only option available. Help!

iMovie 10, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

    Thank you, Limnos, for such a quick reply.  I did as you suggested and found an album I've never bought or even heard of. Still did not find the song I'm looking for. I'm taking a workshop at the Apple Store tomorrow and will ask them what's going on.  Again...thank you for your help.

    Limnos and others,

     

    I am now finding that music I bought for another movie I made is not showing up at all in the iTunes link in IMovie OR playable in my ITunes account. It shows that I bought these songs, and they worked just fine before, but not they don't work at all. Going to ITunes in the Cloud did not seem to make a difference. Does anyone know what the heck is going on?
