How do I download an album I purchased from itunes to my ipod?

I bought an album from iTunes that I want to sync or download to my iPod. When I looked for directions on how to do this, it told me to go into iTunes, click on Music, and then click on Sync. But when I click on Music on the lefthand side, it is only a choice between Music, Videos, etc...Please, I know the answer is obvious, but I cannot figure out how to do it!

1) Plug in your iPod.
2) Wait for an 'iPod' button to appear at the top right corner of iTunes.
3) Open that.
4) Go to the 'Music' tab.
5) Sync music.
WARNING: This WILL delete all your music you had on your iPod prior to this.
To add songs without syncing:
1) Create an iTunes playlist with the songs you wish to add.
2) Repeat steps 1 - 3 above.
3) Go to the 'On this iPod' tab.
4) Select your playlist you just made on the bar at the bottom of the list beside the 'Autofill from...' prompt.
5) Press 'Autofill'.

  • TS1567 I have an old ipod nano. How do I download the songs I purchased from itunes onto my older ipod?

    How do I download the songs I purchased from itunes onto my older ipod nano...I believe it is a 2nd generation? I plug it into my computer, but nothing happens!!!

    Hello shay82578,
    It sounds like you are trying to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano.  I found some articles with steps to sync music to your iPod:
    If you are using iTunes 11, you will want to follow the steps in this article:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
    If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, you can follow the steps in this article:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    To be able to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano, the music will need to be on the computer rather than streaming from iTunes in the Cloud.  You can find the steps to download your purchased music to your computer's hard drive under the section titled, "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Hello Kate,
    Follow these steps to delete the photos on your iPhone that were synced over from your computer (be sure to just check albums that you want to sync or don't do not check any albums if you don't want any photos synced over):
    To delete synced photos and videos
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.

  • I am trying to download video that i purchased from itunes, but everytime i want to resume the process after pausing it, it automatically start the whole downloading process again, how can i eliminate this problem?

    i am trying to download video that i purchased from itunes, but everytime i want to resume the process after pausing it, it automatically start the whole downloading process again, how can i eliminate this problem?

    They don't normally appear in the download screen ... until I attempt to download another movie. Then they just start appearing. If you click edit - a normal movie download has a circle that appears on the left hand side that allows you to select and delete ... these movies don't have that option so you need to find the movie in you list (under movies) and select the download cloud symbol again to stop it downloading ...you may need to do this a number of times before it stops for a while ... or until you try to download a movie then it starts all over again.
    i have logged out of my itunes account. restarted the iPad, removed all movies, restarted the iPad, logged back into my iTunes account and restarted my iPad .... but as soon as I tried to download a single movies ... the other movies started appearing in the downloads again.

    itunes is not recognizing my ipod.  there is no sync under file.  I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.
    can anyone help?

    Do you see your iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window in the source list when it's connect to your Mac?
    BTW...  you sync iTunes media from the tabs in the iTunes menu, not from the File menu unless you are transferring iTunes purchases from the iPod to your Mac.
    Might need to zoom to see this graphic. I have "Music" selected as an example.

    Thanks Roaminggnome,
    I just spoke with a friend who like you is into Apple and he just walked me through the Cloud.  At least I was able to get those songs back. 
    Thanks.
    Do you know --- the last time I tried to back up my itunes it asked for 106 cd's do you how to direct the backup to the external drive?   By the way I found 3 back up cds from 2010 and 1 of the 3 cd's had an error.

  • Cannot download movies and music purchased from itunes to ipad

    I have an iPAD 2 with WIFI/3G capabilities.  Currently I am unable to download movies and music purchased from iTUNES.  The only thing I can download with no problems are APPS.  I don't have a laptop/desktop with iTUNES, so that is out of the question.  Here is the kicker, my friend who has an iPAD 2 with WIFI only, is able to download anything and everything using the same WIFI connection.  Is anyone else facing the same problem?

    Check settings, general, restrictions.  Make sure I tunes is set right.  Otherwise, log onto your account in I tunes, and make sure there is nothing strange going on with your accout.  If it works in the app store, it should work in I tunes.

    Cdadd,
    If by any chance you have made purchases with more than one account, you must check for past purchases separately for each account.

  • Why can I not add the audiobooks I purchased from itunes to my ipod

    Why can I not add the audiobooks I purchased from itunes to my ipod. My ipod is 60 gb version 1.3. I think a 5th generation

    Kristy,
    Is your iPod configured to sync audiobooks?  To check, plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes locate it's audibooks tab and make sure it is set to them.
