How do I download music bought on other devices?

My brother and I share an account, and he has bought songs that I want on his iPod and computer. These songs don't automatically show up in my library, although I know they can. So how do I go about doing that? Also, how can I do an immediate search for songs not on my device (via my Windows computer)?

If you are sharing an account, you can turn on automatic downloads in iTunes so that any content purchased on the account will automatically download to iTunes on the computer.
This can also be done on the device.
You can also download specific items from the purchase history in the iTunes store.  All of this is covered in the User's Guide.  You should really skim through the User's Guide, it has a lot of useful information.

  • How do you download music from your other computer to your new one?

    I have 2 ipods with music from my old computer on it and now my new computer doesnt give me the option to download my music to itunes. I REALLY WANT TO BUY NEW SONGS! please help us figure out how to do this! thanks

    You need to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one. You can use Migration Assistant or just copy the files from one to another.
    If they were purchased from the iTunes Store all you have to do is "authorize" the computer to play them. You can authorize up to five computers.

  • HT5557 I have ibooks on my ipad that were downloaded under an old itunes account that is no longer active.  How can I download these ibooks on other devices?

    ibooks were downloaded onto my husband's ipad under a different itunes account (a @me account that is no longer active or accessible).  he subsequently used our family itunes account.  The ibooks he originally bought that are on his ipad I cannot access and I would like to be able to download these onto my ipad to read.
    How can I access these books on my ipad?

    Your best bet may be to try and connect that ipad to your itunes and go to file-devices-transfer purchases, and then see if you can add them to your device.  I doubt this will work however as they have DRM that will tell you they dont belong to the account you're using.
    It is likely you'll need to try and use the account they were purchased with to redownload them.

  • How do you download music?

    I just bought a blackberry pearl and I'm still trying to figure out how it works.  A couple of questions:  What is the Blackberry User Tools disc for?  How do I download music?  Is it possible to get walking directions with Vz navigator (for example, in NYC)? 
    Thanks in advance. 

    the user tools disc comes with the software to sync your BB with your PC. Highly recommend installing this, especially if you have office 2003-2007 (although there is some compatibilty issues with outlook 07). plus you can back up your phone data incase something happens to the phone.
    you'll need a micro SD card for music. Id suggest no less than 2gb (between $20 -$26). theres multiple ways to get music on you BB. u can put the SD card in a media reader (using the supplied SD adapter), and transfer music that way (the BB will automatically put folders on the card once you have inserted it). or you can connect your BB to your PC and use the media manager. but you'll need to d/l or rip music from cd's first and convert to mp3 (or wma?) format.
    as for walking directions, Im not sure. you can use the built in map functions to get "driving" directions. if you use the navigator, it costs extra where as the map does not.

    how do i download music from my ipad to my itunes on my computer

    You can copy iTunes purchases by connecting your iPad and doing File >Transfer Purchases. Music bought from other sites or copied from CDs can't be copied to your computer via iTunes - if the music isn't already on your computer and you haven't got a backup, then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy content off an iPad.

    how can i download music from my computer to my i phone?

    If the music you are wanting to have on your iphone was purchased through itunes you can then go to your front display to settings>itunes and app store from there you have a toggled switch that allows you to automatically download music and apps by toggling the switch. You will need to toggle the switch below these switchs that allows for cellular data to be enabled if this has not already been enabled. This then will automatically download music and apps directly to your device with no additional charge to you.
    Good luck.

  • How do i download music from one ipod to another ipod

    how do i download music from one ipod to another ipod ?

    It needs to go through your computer's iTunes library.  If all the songs on the iPods are already in your computer's iTunes library, just sync each iPod as desired from your iTunes library. 
    If the songs on your iPods are not in your iTunes library, the approach here is to first off-load the song files from the iPods to your computer's hard drive.  Then, add the song files to your iTunes library, so that it is "consolidated" with ALL of your music.
    You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once you have ALL of your music in one iTunes library on your computer, sync your iPods as desired.

  • How do you download music and burn to a cd so it will play in a car radio

    How do you download music and burn to a cd so it will play in a car radio?

    Download the tracks you want form the iTunes Store, Amazon MP3, or other online music retailer.
    Use iTunes to put them into a playlist.
    Open the playlist and click File > Burn Playlist to Disc.   (Have a blank CD-R ready for this step.)  When the dialog comes up, choose "Audio CD." 
    This will create an audio CD that will play in a normal CD player such as the kind found in cars.
