If you purchase music on your iPod, will iCloud allow you to download it into iTunes?

I want to buy music on my iPod. If I do, will iCloud transfer it to my iTunes account on my PC?

First of all if you are really worried when you connect the phone to your computer go to the device summary page in iTunes and change to manually manage the device so that you are in control of what goes on to it.
A synch will transfer purchased items from device to computer and they are always available to re-download from 'the cloud'.  Once you have the songs on your computer I do suggest that you burn them to CD or back them on to an external hard drive as sometimes items are withdrawn from iTunes so you can no longer re-download.  Indeed the terms and conditions we are all accepting today with the IOS7 update specifies that it is our responsibility to back items up.
So as long as the songs you have already purchased are still available on iTunes, you can download them again should they disappear.

  • HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • Is there a way to put a large amount of music on your iPod without having to keep all the files in iTunes on your computer as well? I want to put my entire music collection (including cds) on my iPod but don't want to take up the space on my computer.

    is there a way to put a large amount of music on the ipod without having to keep all the files on itunes as well? I want to use my ipod as an externa drive and put all of my music on it without taking up the space on my computer. I also don't want to lose all my files everytime I plug ipod into my computer. Is this possible? Is there a way to avoid using itunes and only use the ipod as an external drive?

    You cannot put music onto your iPod without using iTunes, that what iTunes is for.
    It's also not a good idea to wipe the music from your computer and having it only on your iPod. We see countless posts here from people who have done just that - and then lost everything when the iPod needs a Restore. Even if you never need to Restore your iPod, what happens when you eventually replace the iPod? You'll be back here asking how to get the music from one iPod to another. That's not easy to do, we see countless posts about that too!
    A much better idea is to buy an external drive (a proper external drive, not simply an iPod) and put your large amount of music onto that drive. Then point your iTunes Library to that drive. However, you need to remember two things:
    You still need a backup of that Library.
    Using an external drive as your iTunes Library means that the drive must be connected and ready to read before starting your iTunes programme. If it isn't, then iTunes will look on the C: drive - and you will find no music in your Library. (Once again, lots of posts about that as well!)

    Hi There
    You can only transfer purchased music from your iPod to iTunes using iTunes. However there are third party utilities that you can use to retrieve your music, just do a google search or have a look on http://www.versiontracker.com

  • Syncing music from your ipod to a new computer and getting music from the new computer

    I have an old ipod nano and I recently go a new mac book pro. I want to sync the music from the nano onto my mac book and then sync the music from my mac book on to my ipod. Please help

    Do you have any ripped, non-purchased music? That is, music that you ripped off of CD's and imported into your iTunes library as opposed to buying from the iTunes Store. If you do not have any of this music, your solution is simple: connect your iPod to iTunes, then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases from "[iPod name]". All of the music from your iPod will be transferred onto your MacBook. After that, sync your iPod to get the music that is on your MacBook and not on your iPod, on your iPod.
    If you do have ripped music, however, you will have a much more difficult time. Is this the case?

  • I want to use my iPad to purchase music for my iPod. Is it possible?

  • Call me silly but how do you get your music off your ipod....

    My old computer crashed, lucky me all my music was on my ipod, but now how do i get it out!!! and on to a new computer?? help

    Hello there,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."
