Can you download songs from itunes on multiple devices?

I used itunes for some time but stopped several years ago. I never really had a lot of music, so when my HDD crashed about a year ago I didn't worry about it and thought everything was lost forever.
I recently purchased an iPad and iPhone and when I logged in lo and behold everything was there waiting to be downloaded - this is a far cry from what I remember, when if you lost something that was it, no second chances to download. I distinctly remember a headache due to a glitch where songs would show as purchased but failed to download, and I couldn't download them without paying again.
I guess something changed, correct? Or if I download everything to my devices will I get hit with charges for everything once again?

Redownloading is a new capability of iTunes that was introduced when iCloud came around. Nice, huh? For more details see:

HT4914 can you download songs from itunes match from the cloud to your iPhone ie for times when you dont have internet connection

can you download songs from itunes match from the cloud to your iPhone ie for times when you dont have internet connection?

Unless you have an Internet connection you cannot access iCloud. You can download your music from iCloud to store permanently on your iPhone, but only when you have an Internet connection to do so.

I can't download songs from itunes directly to my iphone. I'm getting credit removed from account but all i get is 'waiting' beside the download song.

Can I download songs from iTunes used for my 80GB to a shuffle?

I want to know if I buy a shuffle can I download songs from my iTunes for my 80GB iPod? Will it mess anything up trying to download to the two separate devices? Also, can I upload my playlist from my 80GB iPod to another computer and then download from that computer to a shuffle?
Thanks,
tim

In the simplest terms, one PC/Mac, many iPods.
Many PCs/Macs, then you must use manual mode.
The exception being the Shuffles. They only work with one machine at a time.

Can you erase songs from iTunes, but keep them on the iPod???

Hi, I'm a newbie and tried to post this question earlier, but I'm not sure if it worked.
I'm wondering if there is any way to update your ipod, then take some of the songs on itunes, but still plug your ipod in later and keep those former songs on the ipod even if they're not on itunes. I'm thinking this isnt possible. But I wanted to make sure. I have limited HD space, but a 30GB ipod, so I was considering my options.
thanks!

Set the iPod to sync manually; you can then delete songs from iTunes without them being deleted from the iPod automatically. You should keep another copy of the songs if you do this, as they can easily be lost if they are only on the iPod.

How can I download songs from iTunes match to my iMac

How can I down load my music from iTunes match and play it on my iMac without having g3 or wifi?

Hi tkattan,
iTunes Match is ran strictly off of Wi-Fi or a Cellular connection. Devices with iTunes Match turned off can have both the computer and device without any connection to the internet to download music via USB. However, iTunes Match is ran off of iCloud—a Wi-Fi/Cellular based product.
If you would like to download a song on your device connected to the internet:
Make sure your device is connected to Wi-Fi or a Cellular Network.
Make sure your device is running iOS 5.0 or higher (only iDevices can run iTunes Match).
Go to "Music" and you will see music able to be downloaded from the cloud. (If you do not see your music, make sure you have General > Music > Show All Music "ON".)
Click the cloud symbol next to the songs you would like to stream them on your phone and without a Wi-Fi/Cellular connection.
Hope this helps!

Can you sent music from itunes to multiple ATV2 devices throughout the house at once?

I have multiple Apple TV2's throughout the house and at times I want to play music from itunes and send to all devices can you do that?

Each device is like a separate radio or TV. Select the music you want to listen to from each device. This can be th same album, song, playlist, etc. or completely different selections.

Can't download songs from itunes match

Hi,
I have activated itunes match and since then all my problems started.
I have purchased the 2nd law from itunes and am trying to download the album to my iphone. Somehow only 3 songs have downloaded and have ben trying over and over to download the remaining ones. When i try the normal way clicking the download icon next to the album, the download signs appear next to the songs but they remain empty as if nothing is happening and it slows down the whole iphone. Coincidently the remaining songs to download are uploaded not matched in the library in itunes.I have tried playing the songs but it doesn't seem to help. Anybody has any hints on how to sort this out?
I might not be the biggest expert but i have to say that am a bit nostalgic of mobile me.

did you find a solution to this? because i'm having the same problem.

Suddenly can't download songs from iTunes store

I'm on a Mac OS X 10.4.11, using iTunes 9.2.1 (4) and Safari 4.1.3. This worked fine back in June, the last time I downloaded anything! Now I am again trying to purchase from iTunes store, and repeatedly getting the message, 'Session timed out. Try again.' Any ideas to resolve this? Thanks!

Hi Curt,
Well, to solve this problem you only need to connect your iPod to the computer. I'm not sure why this happened, but if your iPod have access to your iTunes Store account, then it will automatically update your missing info.
You just need to authorize your computer and connect your iPod.
So you have two options:
Do it when you arrive home, connecting it to your home computer;
or
Fist authorize your work computer, the connect your iPod. If you want, you can deauthorize this computer after finishing the process.
Unfortunately there's nothing you can do directly on your iPod Touch
Hope this helps!

How can i download songs from iTunes match to my iPhone and Mac- so i can listen to music without wifi/3G?

I am constantly having issues with my itunes... trying to improve my music organization, and just making it worse. I just got itunes match and i like it so far, but I know that as soon as I am out of wifi/cellular conection, I won't be able to listen to my music. How can I download the music to my device, so I don't have to rely on a wireless connection. (I do lots of traveling.) This is concerning my Mac but more importantly my IPhone 5C.

On the iPhone tap the download button next to a song to download it. Or while viewing an Album or Playlist tap "download all."

Can't download songs from iTunes store

When I try to purchase and download a song, I get a message that says "Item not available. Make sure your computer's date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from the iTunes Music Store." My computer meets these criteria. Any ideas? I just upgraded to iTunes version 11.1.3.

Can't download songs from iTunes Store - Changed/Invalid Email??

This is probably a really stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. On my iPod Touch, running the latest firmware, I tried to download a song off the iTunes Store. It prompts me for my password and the account name it has listed is correct. However, I receive the following error:
Your email address has changed or is invalid. Go to the iTunes Store on your computer and update your Account info.
I'm at work now, so needless to say I don't have access to my home computer. I'm not sure why I'd be receiving this message as my iTunes account information hasn't changed in years and all my purchased music plays just fine on my Touch.
My email is a Yahoo account, however, I have my Mail client on the Touch set up to retrieve my DotMac account only. Is that perhaps an issue here? I wouldn't think so since I thought the Touch got the iTunes account info from syncing with iTunes on the host computer.
Is there any configuration that can be changed on the Touch to rectify this?
Thanks!

Can't download songs from iTunes Match - have no rights

iTunes Match works fine on all of my devices and on my iMac.
On my MacBook Air however, I cannot download a song at all. It jumps from song to song without getting played. When I click on the download from iCloud button it shows me an exlamation mark infront of the title and when clicking on it it says:
http://cl.ly/0d0U1w0G1U1i0N423c47
What have I done wrong? I'd like to listen to my music on my MacBook Air, too.
Please advice
Thank you very much
