I can't get the songs i purchased onto my iPod

i just spent close to $20 on songs from iTunes. I plugged my iPod up to transfer the songs and they wont go through to my iPod. I just checked my library, recently added, and purchased songs. They're all gone. I checked earlier and they were there, but now they're not. I paid for the songs, but didn't get them!!! What should i do?

Go to the advence menu, then click on something like Search bought items... (I have a french version of iTunes... dunno in english). The search engine will tell you if your download are still there. Second, search your computerfo the song title you've lost. And : you know now that you should make a CD/DVD Backup of you're bought items...

HT1473 How do I get the songs from itunes onto my ipod?

How do I get the songs I just purchased from itunes on to my ipod?

,I am trying to add a new CD that I imported to iTunes to my iPhone 5s. I have tried all these steps in the tutorial link above. Nothing has added the CD. I used to never have problems with this, but with this phone and the iOs updates, it's now so difficult.
any more suggestions? TY!

I can't get certain songs to download onto my Ipod

hey so i can't get certain songs to down load onto my ipod
what can i do to fix this

Do you know what format these songs are in?

My ipod nano broke can I sync the songs I bought onto another ipod, like the shuffle?

I've got an ipod nano 6th generation, the power button broke, can I buy an ipod shuffle and sync
the songs I've already bought onto the new ipod?

Just an idea for using your iPod nano, even if the power switch is broken. I don't have a 6th gen nano to try this, but it would work with my 5th gen iPod nano.
If you use headphones with remote control buttons on the cord, pressing the middle button should have the same effect as pressting the power button to make the iPod active. It does on my 5th gen nano. And it should automatically go into the power saving mode if you leave it alone (and not play anything) for a minute or two, which is the same as pressing the power button to "turn it OFF."
The current headphones that Apple sells
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD827LL/A/apple-earpods-with-remote-and-mic
works with the 6th gen iPod nano. It also works with the 4th gen iPod shuffle, and sound better (to me) than the "stock" headphones the shuffle comes with. Plus you'll have the remote control buttons on the cord to control playback and volume.

Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you in. If you are using your computer's iTunes then does music show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (on your phone you might be able to redownload media via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app) ? If music shows there, but not that album, then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If you aren't in a country when you can redownload music and it's still on your phone then you should be able to copy it over from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

Connect your phone to computer, and sync like this. Check the boxes for the playlists, artists, albums you want to sync. Then click Apply. If you have enough space on your phone, you can choose Entire music library.

Yes, you can!(:
STEP 1: Open iTunes
STEP 2: Navigate to the "iTunes Store". It can be found under the "STORE" tab.
STEP 3: On the right side of the store there should be a "Quick Links" Section. Click on the "Purchased" link.
STEP 4: Navigate to the "Music" tab and click on "All Songs". Then at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says "Download All". Click the button and your songs will be begin downloading!
NOTE: This will only work with songs that you bought from the iTunes store, if you imported them from a CD, you will have to do it again.
NOTE: You can also do this with Apps, Movies, TV Shows, and Books.
NOTE: You may have to sign in with your Apple ID to verify the download.
Hope this helped! Enjoy your music!(:

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

HT1329 How can I get the songs on my iPod onto my new iTunes library?

I have an iPod that was synced to another iTunes library on another PC. The PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro but it keeps saying the iPod is synced w/ another iTunes library. How can I get the songs on my iPod on the new iTunes library?

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

HT1725 I have a few songs that will only play for about a min the it will stop playing how can i get the songs back to a full song

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.
