Songs I bought on iTunes are no longer available for download.

However, it is apple’s liability because we are purchasing from them. It’s their obligation to make the purchases available forever unless it’s a rent.

HI Jonjon358!

Sounds like the items should be under your account, but are not showing in your purchase history. Here is what I'd propose to check first:

1.) check the computer's authorization

Authorize your computer in iTunes - Apple Support

2.) verify the transaction exists under this account

3.) download from the purchase list

Redownload music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books from the iTunes Store, iBooks Store, and App Store - Apple Support

If these steps don't lead you to find them, I would recommend 2 last things.

1.) Check if you have more than 1 apple id

2.) Contact Apple for assistance. If you talk to iTunes Store support and verify your account with the advisor, they can help find purchases and see if the content may have been removed and reuploaded requiring a refund request so you can repurchase the altered items.

I always hate it when the artist/music producer removes and reuploads content because this kind of thing can happen. Hope this helps!

Best regards,

There is never a guarantee that the purchased songs will forever be available for re-download.

You need to make backups for safe keeping for situation like this.

Content owners (music producers, record companies, ...) can pull or update new version anytime they want.

For those in the future: The issue is that your "purchased" items are hidden for some reason.

Itunes: View Account: Unhide Music.

1. Authorize computer to download files.

2. Select artist you want to unhide - download that artist; or select "Unhide All" in lower right corner.

3. Should show in iTunes on any device logged in under "Purchased"

No.
