I can't download my last purchase onto my ipod.  When I go to my ipod - the songs are there - but no cloud by them.  HELP!

Why have I seen a place where I can download my songs before, but I don't now?  I have tried to download them to my library and to my ipod numerous times, to no avail.

This is a shuffle? 
The purchased song is already in your iTunes music library, with the song file on your computer's drive?  Or do you subscribe to iTunes Match, and the song's file is only in your iCloud music library?
but no cloud by them.
If that means you subscribe to iTumes Match, select your iTunes Music library in iTunes (not the song list for the iPod), so that you see the list of Songs in your computer's iTunes library.  Right-click on the row of column headings at the top of the list, to drop down a menu showing all possible columns.  The columns that are currently visible have a check mark.  Select iCloud Download, to make it one of the visible columns.  This is the column with the "cloud" button (for songs that are currently not stored on the local drive), that you can click to download the song's file from iCloud.
The song's file needs to be stored locally on the computer's drive, to allow iTunes to sync it to the iPod.  iTunes cannot sync songs that are only stored in iCloud to iPods.

  • I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

    I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.  I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added.  So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them?  It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

  • How can I download previous iTunes purchases onto a new iPod using someone else's computer?

    Hi,
    I've brought an ipod shuffle and need to download my itunes purchases but I don't have access to my own computer for another couple weeks.  How can I download from itunes?  I'm getting a message that the friend's computer I'm using can't use a different apple ID for 90 days - I'll be long gone by then and back with my own computer!!!
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Multiple people can indeed use multiple Apple IDs on the same computer in multiple user accounts as long as they do not use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or re-download any past purchases. However, if you'll read the KB article I posted a link to you'll see that for the purposes of those services a computer can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days. If the OP associates their friend's computer with their Apple ID and downloads purchases from the purchase history the owner of the computer will be locked out from using iTunes Match, automatic downloads or re-downloading any past purchases.
    It's not that the friend will be unable to use iTunes at all, but what the OP wants to do will associate their friend's computer to thier Apple ID for 90 days which may cause the friend some inconvinence.

  • I am trying to download my per purchased itunes music to my iPad mini and non of the songs will download. Any advice?

    I am trying to download music onto my iPad mini, I have tried plugging it into the computer and downloading from iTunes on the iPad. No luck on either front. Any advice?

    Hello Pork Chop 2,
    Congratulations on your new Mac!  It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them.  I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    You can find the full article here:

  • The text in a lot of my books I have downloaded in IBooks has disappeared. It is mostly the older books on my IPad.  The books are there but the text is missing. How do I get the text back?

    On my IPad, the books I have downloaded are there; however, the text has disappeared. It only happened with the books that were older. Any idea how I can get the text back on these books?

    Try closing the iBooks app. Press the home button to get to the home screen if you're not already there. Then double click the home button. Locate the iBooks icon at the bottom. Hold your finger down on it until a red minus appears. Tap the red minus. Press the home button to return to normal. Then relaunch iBooks.
    If that fails, delete the books, then you can redownload them under the Purchased tab in "Store."

  • I can't get my iTunes library to play on my ipad.  All the tunes are there but they are 'greyed out'

    when I sync my ipad all the music from my itunes library loks like it comes over but i can't access any of it.  the titles are all greyed out and cant be clicked on

    The tracks show up in gray because they haven't completely synced to the iPad. My advice at this point would be to backup your iPad, restore to factory settings, then restore the backup and follow that with a sync with iTunes to transfer all of the apps, photos, movies, and music back onto the iPad.
    It takes some time to restore the iOS software, but of you follow the instructions here, you will not lose any content at all and actually your iPad may be in better shape than it was before your restored it.

  • After downloading to my IPOD, the songs are shown but are also seperated by the album names. Is there a way to not show these album names on the IPOD? I just want to see song titles and nothing else! S

    After sync'ing my IPOD, the songs on my IPOD are separated by the album names from which they were downloaded from. Can I get rid of those album names on my IPOD somehow?  I'd like to show nothing but the songs as I search thru the artists......
    Please help......Apple/IPOD illiterate.....

    Try posting in a more appropriate forum, as this has noting to do with itunes U - the place where University/college/museums post education material.

  • The pictures are there, but can't find the library

    My primary HD for photos is external, and an iphoto library is there. Took my laptop out of town and loaded photos on it. It created a new library. I cannot figure out, however, where this puppy is stored. It is not in the usr/pictures folder, and neither Finder nor Spotlight turn up albumdata.xml, or library6 etc files. There is no iphoto folder, or original folder found by either spotlight or finder.
    iphoto loads fine and all the new photos are there, imovie finds the photos, iweb finds the photos. I, however, can't find the 1.3 Gig of photos so that I can merge the libraries.
    I have tried the apple-option start up and rebuilt the library. I have repaired the permissions on the HD. I loaded a number of new photos this morning, and then searched on Finder to see where the file was modified. No luck and I am out of ideas.
    Yes I have exported to a temporary folder on the external drive, but I don't want to lose 1.3 gigs of HD space having duplicate pictures. If I re-direct the library to the external drive, without knowing where the new library is, I won't be able to delete the duplicate library. I don't know how to turn on a view for hidden folders, if that is the issue. There is only one user account on this computer, so that is not an issue.
    Any thoughts out there? Thanks.

    Select a photo in the iPhoto window and right click (or control-click) and select show file.
    A Finder window will open with the file selected. If you switch to Column view you'll be able to see where the file is located easily.

  • HELP - My Songs Are there but iTunes can't find them!!!

    I just moved my iTunes library to a different drive and iTunes just gives me "!" next to the song files and tells me the song file isn't there.
    Help!!

    Edited:
    Did you go to iTunes Preferences/Advanced/General/ and show iTunes the path to the new drive? If not, you need to do that.
    The ones which will play are the ones iTunes can find. The " ! " ones are the songs iTunes thinks it can't find. If you quit iTunes and restart your system, the next time you open iTunes the checks should be gone.

  • HT201272 How can I download previous APP purchases onto my laptop?

    I have authorised my computer and after much searching I still remain clueless as to how I can access the apps I have bought from Apple in the past using my ipad.
    I have checked for automatic downloads and it has not downloaded any of my apps...Please Help!

    If you are logged in with the same account then they should appear in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes (or you should be able to copy them over from the iPad to your Mac's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases) - you can then take a backup copy of them in case you need to restore your iPad in the future (you can't use iPad apps on a Mac)

  • The documents are there but I can't see the writing?

    So today I had more memory put into my computer (Apple authorized dealer, but not the Apple Store) and when I got home I opened Pages and although all my files/documents were there, I can't read anything. They appear as blank pages.
    What happened? And more importantly what can I do? This is 5 years of work for me and I have a big presentation in the morning. (Yeah, I'm really sick about this )
    Any suggestions would be awesome.

    The Combo updater should fix most of your problems.
    The Pages icon on the dock is not the application, it is only pointing to it.
    Use Spotlight (top right corner) to search for Pages. Have you looked in your trash in case it was accidentally moved there?
    You can install [iWork '09 trial|http://www.apple.com/iwork/download-trial] which will be good for 30 days, to get on with your work. Pay for it any time you like.
