HT1766 i bought a song on my ipod how do i get it onto my mac?

i bought some songs on itunes on my ipod, after backing up onto icloud they are not on my mac. do i need to connect and sync? or will that erase them from my ipod?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have two options to get the music onto your Mac:
1. Connect your device to the Mac, open iTunes and go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Devices > Transfer purchases.
2. Download these songs in the Mac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

    Is the shuffle full?
    Which model iPod shuffle do you have?  This article about shuffle syncing shows the four types of shuffles

    Which method do you use to load songs onto the shuffle?  Do you do it manually, by dragging songs to the shuffle in iTunes?  Or do you automatically sync the shuffle?

  • I bought a movie on apple tv, how do I get it onto my ipad?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The answer to that question largely depends on where you are located. If you are in the US, you may be able to re-download the movie from the purchased section of the videos app.
    If you are not in the US, then you will need to sync your iPod with iTunes on your computer. Once your iPad is connected with iTunes, select it from the sources list on the left hand side and navigate to the movies tab, where you can select which movies you want to sync to your iPad.

  • If i download a song on my iPad, how do i get it onto my computer?

    i downloaded a song on my iPad and it worked fine, but i assumed that because i use the same itunes account on my computer it would automatically download the song onto my computer iTunes as well. This was not the case and I'm not really sure what to do? Do i have to repurchase the item on my computer as well..?

    You can either connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases. Or, depending on which country that you are in, you might be able to re-download it on your computer's iTunes and for future purchases be able to use automatic downloads.

  • Bought 3 songs on my iPod touch but didn't show up on iTunes. What to do?

    I bought 3 songs yesterday directly from the iTunes Store on my iPod touch. They all downloaded and processed, and I assumed that they showed up on my iPod's music library.
    Today I checked my iPod to listen to those 3 songs, but only one of them showed up. The other two just vanished. So I turned on the computer and synced my iPod with iTunes. I have it set to manually manage music and videos. When I clicked on "Purchased on (my name)'s iPod" under "Devices" all three songs were there. I checked my iPod again, and all the songs were now there.
    But when I clicked on the iTunes store and clicked "Purchased" or "Purchased from (my name)'s iPod," none of the songs showed up. I checked my iTunes music library for the album of the songs, but none of them were present.
    I reviewed my account's purchase history, and the songs I purchased were listed.
    If I go on iTunes on the computer to download those songs again, will I be guaranteed to get a message that I already purchased the songs and that I can download them for free? The songs apparently weren't copied to my iTunes music library when I synced my iPod, since they didn't show up.
    Will that message "You have already purchased this item..." show up even if I bought the song on my iPod, synced it but didn't copy the item to iTunes, and use iTunes on the computer to buy the sitem(s) again?
    When I attempted to download the songs again on iTunes, it asked me if I was sure I wanted to download and buy the songs. It informed me that "my account will be debited for this purchase and the download will begin immediately." I got afraid and backed out. If I clicked, "Buy now," would it have given me the message that I already bought the songs, even if I didn't get them synced to my iTunes or purchased it from my iPod?
    Please help!

    It worked! Thank you!
    But how come it didn't work when I first plugged in my iPod into the computer?

    Assuming you bought the song at the iTunes Store, you can go here
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    and follow one of the "paths" to get what you need or to an Apple customer support employee.  One path is to click Contact Support at the bottom of the list of choices, and use the Express Lane.
    The iTunes app also has a way to report a problem with a purchase.  Select iTunes Store in the sidebar (of the iTunes window).  Toward the upper right corner, click on your Apple ID.  This gets you to your Account Information screen.  Find Purchase History and click See All.  On that screen, you can select a specific purchase with that problem, and Report a Problem.
    If you want to try to figure out WHY that song does not play on your iPod shuffle, please post back...

    You only get one download of music. You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception. http://www.apple.com/support/itunes
    Unlike music, you can redownload apps:

  • My last computer crashed and it had all my songs and i got a new ipod how do i get those songs back

    ok so my last computer crashed and it had all my songs and that day i got a new ipod how do i get those songs back thast i paid for?

    If the songs are not on an iPod or a computer (didn't you have a backup of your computer files?) you are probably out of luck since you only get one download of music from the iTunes store and it is up to you to back them up.  However, the Itunes store may allow a redownload if you explain what happened.  Go to the following and select the appropriate topic to contact them.

  • I bought ipod touch 4G from dubai but i stay in india. facetime is missing from my ipod. how should i get it?

    i bought ipod touch 4G from dubai but i stay in india. facetime is missing from my ipod. how should i get it? people pls help.

    omijh,
         It will not work no matter how many times you choose to restore your iPod touch. If it is blocked than it is blocked. So prern do not restore your iPod. It will take up your time and will be a waste. Listen to stedman1 and Dave Sawyer. An by the way, Facetime is available on iOS 4...so again you are wrong.

  • Itunes got delted,songs still on ipod,how to get them back in itunes librar

    my computer crashed so i had to redownload everything, now that i redownloaded itunes, and plugged in my ipod(all songs are still on ipod) how do i get them back into itunes library music section?

    Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
    First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, click "cancel" when iTunes presents the dialog box offering to synchronize to the iPod. Or hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
    If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
    MacMuse: Computer crashed
    Hope this helps.
