How to recover missing music from iTunes account?

Purchased Eric Clapton 24 Nights album. It has disappeared from my iTunes account and from the Store. No notification. No refund. Support told me they can’t do anything. Said I could complain to corporate. Sounds like a load of BS to me. Apple marketed, Apple sold and I paid Apple. Any recourse?

Cgyale,

Check the following possibilities:

  • Just because it is not in your library does not mean the file is gone. Use Finder or Windows Explorer to search on your computer for the audio files. If you find them, add them back to your library.
  • If you have a backup, even an old one, see if the files are there.
  • Look back at the Store after some time has passed. Often the removal from the Store is temporary while the lawyers haggle about something, and the material comes available eventually.
