Check for available purchases with iTunes on your computer. Unlike the music you only get one download of the additional content, and one you have it you should keep it backed up. If it wasn't delivered contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Unable to download digital booklets for albums

Everytime I have purchased a music album it will not let me download the digital booklet. It gives me an "Unable to Download Item" error message. Can anyone else help me with the issue? I'm getting pretty infuriated now because those booklets are the reason I have downloaded a few albums. However, it won't download.

I'm the same! I pre-ordered Save Rock and Roll weeks ago and when it was made available here, all of the songs downloaded but the booklet didn't. On my iTunes account on the computer it shows the booklet in the track list, but it doesn't open at all. It's really annoying me.

Digital booklet from album did not download

My digital booklet for soundtrack album, Skyfall, did not download. I purchased whole album but it still won't let me download. Any suggestions?

I tried a few things. Not sure which one made it work. These are from an HP standpoint.
One attempt was going to the Edit toolbar/Preferences/Store button and click Always check for downloads and click the Books box.
The second was by going to View/Show Sidebar. Then under Store, doing a left click on the "Purchased" and select "Check for available downloads."
Hope that helps.

Digital Booklets for albums no longer handled within iTunes - so annoying!

So, as one of its "improvements" to iTunes, digital booklets are now handled by iBooks. And they have removed the ability to edit the metadata, so now I have a bunch of booklets in iBooks in no order, and unsearchable.
1. I can't see why I should want to have another app open to read the booklets assiciated with an album I am listening to.
2. Why should I not be able to edit the metadata, or create my own booklets from PDF or scans?
3. If they do change this, am I really going to have to edit the metadata of my 5000 digital booklets inn my iTunes library?
What a pain the the backside!

I second your emotion!
I have not been an iBook user (and I don't even own an iPhone or iPad), but I am a huge iTunes user (on an iMac). Here are my observations and complaints.
I think this is some sort of mistake or oversight - it makes no sense whatsoever to remove an iTunes music digital booklet from it's source - to force us to open another app to view the liner notes for an album. I predict (and certainly hope) they will reintegrate this in the future.
When I opened iBooks, it only imported one (one!) of numerous digital booklets from my iTunes library. The rest it left stranded in iTunes.
When I tried to import the rest - all named "digital booklet.pdf" and nested within the iTunes library file structure - it tried to overwrite the one that was already there.
The books themselves are buried deep within the system library file system - quite inaccessible.
That's not a problem, necessarily, but not being able to edit metadata (title, author, etc.) also makes no sense whatsoever. Shouldn't it work like iTunes, where I can edit artist, song and album title, etc.?
Anyway, this strikes me as an inadvertent snafu - a bad side effect of the iBooks improvements. Again, I hope Apple is paying attention and will improve both the fuctionality of iBooks (particularly as relates to metadata editability) and its integration with iTunes (reuiniting our music with its accompanying documentation).

How do i retrieve my digital booklets for albums?

When I copied my iTunes Library from my PC to my Mac Book Pro (Maverick), I lost all of the digital booklets for my albums purchased from the iTunes store in the past. Anyone know if I can get them back? Are they possibly hidden somewhere else on a Mac?

I have no personal experience with this, but I suggest looking in the Mac's iBooks app.

Digital booklet with album purchase

I have purchased several albums that said I would receive a digital booklet the next time I signed in to iTunes. I have signed in numerous times since the purchase of my albums, but have not received the digital booklets as promised. How do I get them??

OK, I feel silly, I just found the answer on here - that it just won't sync to the iPhone from iTunes. I found it on my computer. Now is there any way to get it from my computer to my iPhone?

Digital booklet hasn't download with album.

I bought an album today with digital booklet. Info was to get the booklet i have to buy full album. I did but there is any digital booklet. Is there anybody to help me with this problem.

Look at the section "I purchased an album on my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that contained a music video and a digital booklet. Where did it go?" here:
iTunes Store: Frequently Asked Questions for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Also:
iBooks: Syncing iTunes Digital Booklets to iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

How do I retrieve previously purchased digital booklets?

I cannot find any of my digital booklets for albums that I purchashed on itunes. I don't even see the option to download from "purchased" items in my account.

No, that doesn't help me at least, the booklet doesn't even show up as available for download in Purchases.
I have a booklet I've purchased and downloaded previously, on a different computer.
I have downloaded everything in the cloud.
The album is there. The booklet is not.

Why can't I delete a digital booklet from my iTunes library?

I recently downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and now the digital booklets from albums I've purchased appear in my library as if they were songs. When I try to delete them, I get a dialogue box that says "Are you sure you want to hide this item in iCloud?" Whether I click yes or no, nothing changes. I have deleted the PDF files from where they were stored on my computer, and still am not able to delete these files from iTunes. I really don't want them there because they take up space on my iPhone when I sync it. Ideas?

sign in to icloud.com
go to accounts, write facebook on search, then select all and delete!
this is the easiest way!

Downloaded an album with a digital booklet. adobe says its broken. cant redownload help?

downloaded an album with a digital booklet. adobe says its broken? cant redownload help?

I think this has do with the digital booklet having a media type of "Music" instead of "Books". If you do a Get Info on the document you will see this under the Options tab. Unfortunately, this is greyed out for me and I cannot change it. Could it be that because of the Media Type for this file being Music instead of Books, iBooks is causing the download to fail?

HT203167 What if an entire album was purchased and a few items were lost and cannot be found anywhere. What do I do to re-download them again?

What if I have purchased an entire an album, and three songs were lost and the album's digital booklet cannot be found anywhere on my computer or even in iTunes. Do I need to purchase the entire album again? Or what do I need to do?

Hello there D.Barraza!
If you purchased the entire album then you can simply re download it from the iTunes store, free of charge. Use this article named Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.
To view or download previously purchased:
Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS
Music, Movies, or TV shows on Apple TV
Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer
You can choose where you want to download it to from that device.
All the very best,
Sterling

HT1904 I'm having trouble getting the digital booklet when I download an album. What do I need to do? I get an error message saying the booklet can't be downloaded at this time.

Hello Bdev15,
I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too. I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network. For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network. Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:

If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

If I download an album onto my 5th Gen iPod touch, can i download the digital booklet directly ti my iPod, or do I need to use iTunes on a computer?

I recently bought the Great Gatsby album on my iPod touch 5th generation (great album by the way, I recommend it to everyone). In iTunes, it said the album came with a digital booklet. After downloading all of the music, I opened iBooks to see if it was there. A message popped up that said 'an error occurred while trying to download Great Gatsby Digital booklet' and I tapped retry. The message popped up again and I reluctantly tapped cancel. My question is, is this error message normal, indicating that I need to use a computer to download it, or should I be able to download digital booklets directly to my iPod touch?

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

HT3823 I looked at an album and at the bottom there was a digital booklet and it said "album only" so I bought the album, but then I didn't get the booklet. What do I do? (iPad 2)
