I updated my software so my new devices could talk to my iMac. iCloud backed up my iTunes before I could choose (or so it seems... maybe I missed something) - NOW when I try to put my whole library onto my new iPod it says about 50 songs can't be moved because they are not on my computer (even though I can see & play them).These seem to be purchased songs... but they are mine! I have NEVER used Match or Apple Music. How do I get them back on to my computer. (and now I am leery about purchasing other music if it will be taken away from me... Most purchases occurred BEFORE Apple Music subscription even existed) HELP!!!

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.
