Yes, I have restored purchases. What I am missing is my ripped from CD music I uploaded to iTunes. I may have found the answer. To get them back I have to subscribe to Apple Music in order to incorporate them into the Apple Music app. I have them on file but Apple Music will not accept them without a subscription unless I am missing something here.
I also have them on my old iPad and my Dell PC. On those two devices, I also have an iTunes program, not Apple Music so they appear there but not on my new Mac Air. I have no problem getting my hundreds of music files on those devices to sort and play on iTunes. I can go to iTunes on my new Mac Air but that is just a store site now, not an all purpose storage/player application.
I do not want a subscription to Apple Music so I may be stuck with not being able to import my music files to Apple Music, I understand is the replacement for the iTunes app. I once had all the music files organized by iTunes. Now they are a scattered mess of unreadable titles after being transferred from PC to new Mac Air. Would take massive hours, but I could try to organize them manually. Nah.
