Recently, I had purchased some songs on iTunes. Eventually, I just searched one song in the library. But suddenly it was missing in the iTunes store. After that, again click the purchase option to buy that song on iTunes. But, the song shows as “Purchased” in iTunes and it won’t redownload it. Unfortunately, this purchased song doesn’t show up in my purchased list. After that, I had some solutions to get rid of this issue. Here, you can learn to get the purchased songs from iTunes.

Guys, I thought now you download the missing songs on iTunes. And if you know any other information, feel free to tell me in the comment section below.
Hi I've had this problem today. Album is showing in hidden but when I click unhide it won't come out of there. Have you got any tips why? I've removed the album from my library as some songs were missing. I really hate this new iTunes on my Mac and my iPhone!! Why did they have to change something that didn't need changing?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I had the problem also, I logged out of iTunes then rebooted the phone, then logged back in. It worked like a charm.
Thank you! Solution 1 worked for me.
Thank you so much! I've gotten songs back that I lost over a year. ago Solution 1 worked for me.
You are a ROCK STAR!!! THanks
The unhide trick worked for me. I was able to re-download the song from iCloud and song works great. Thanks for the info!
What if I don’t use the iTunes app on a Mac or PC? I have this issue on my iPad and I don’t have/use/manage iTunes on a Mac or PC.
Try to sign out of iTunes and then sign in back.
I had the problem a purchased song would not download. After trying many things I found out how to get it to download.
This how I did it.
I went to iTunes Store, went to previously viewed, and there it was for sale! I purchased it again and said I had already purchased it, and asked if I wanted to download it. I chose download, and it download to my iPhone!
You must look it up by Artist and song in the iTunes Store first!
just reauthorize your device…
it should work fine afterwards…
I need to download all of the songs I Purchased since 2012. I just setup my Icloud account today. (First time I am using it!) There isn't any of my songs in Icloud. I can see all my Purchased songs in the store, but not in Icloud. How can I download these songs?
