I've recently purchased a macbook air. some time ago I downloaded all my CDs and could access them all via iTunes. I've opened the app and there are none of my albums available. Will I be able to retrieve them

CD music uploaded to iTunes has disappeared I was looking for an album in my uploaded music collection (uploaded to the old iTunes) and discovered that it's disappeared. I bought a new Mac two years ago so maybe that's when the music got lost? I haven't noticed until now as hadn't been listening to any of my old music. The albums which are missing were imported from purchased CDs. Sadly I no longer have the hard copies. Is there a way of retrieving my old music?

Download again purchased music Hi, I'll make this quick... I always buy my music. I recently changed laptop. I copied all my files from my old PC to a new MacBook Air M2 and imported to the library on the new Mac. Most of it goes wll but I came on an album that has 2 or 3 songs that won't play. When this happen I can usually delete from the library and the file itself and download them again. But somehow, for this album I can't. And I see it in my purchased history and if I do "show in Itunes Store" I see the album and all the songs marked as purchased. Any ideas? How can I download them again, I just don't see how... Thanks, JFS.

iTunes Library in computer disappeared. Where are the thousands of songs I had in it? I wanted to know where the few thousand songs I had in my iTunes Library has gone. I had hundreds of songs from my music CD's uploaded on to my computer in iTunes, but the old iTunes Library with all of those CD's songs disappeared! Please help! Money spent and hours of time to put them into my iTunes Library and now they are gone! Where are they and what did Apple do with them? I'm going to panic! CCFitz

Yeah, you might want to autorize your device and sync your Apple Music library
