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

I have 'lost' 2 albums I paid for through iTunes and an audiobook. The albums I can find, but now I need to pay for Apple Music? I already bought them. The audiobook is nowhere, not in iBooks nor in iTunes. I am so frustrated.

How do I find previously paid for albums and audiobooks? Why must I pay for Apple Music, when I bought them prior to 2022?

They are mostly likely hidden. For the albums open the iTunes Store app, and scroll up to the bottom and view your Apple ID, and see Hidden Purchases and unhide.


For the audiobook:


  1. Open the Books app, then tap Reading Now.
  2. Tap the Sign In button  or your photo at the top of the screen, then tap Manage Hidden Purchases.
  3. If prompted, sign in with your Apple ID.
  4. Next to the item, tap Unhide.
