Music purchased on iTunes downloaded to iPad but not seen in iPod App

Bought a bunch of music files last night at the iTunes store. Downloads looked fine, with progress bars moving nicely for each file; all files downloaded in a reasonable amount of time. I was doing some other stuff on the iPad during part of the download session, but each time I checked the iTunes downloads, they were still moving along. My credit card was charged, and my iTunes account shows that the files were purchased and are no longer available for download. After the downloads were complete, I hit the "Purchased" button to listen, and none of the files are there, just the old stuff that came over onto the iPad during a previous sync. Tried relaunching the iPod app and rebooting the iPad. Had recently updated to v4.2 of the OS.

I have not read this but with a very quick search in the search area in the upper right corner of the Apple web site next to support, I found this when I typed - "purchased music does not appear in iPod on my iPad

    my laptop died, is there a way to tranfer music purchased in ITunes from an ipad air to an ipod nano?

    The only way to sync to a nano is to use an iTunes account on a computer.
    When or if you get a replacement computer you can retrieve all of your purchased music (from iTunes) to sync to your nano

    At this time it cannot. Perhaps you can provide feedback to Apple on this.

  • I can hear the music from itunes on my computer but not on my ipod

    I purchased a new ipod nano today and unable to hear the music on it I am showing songs on the ipod so appears it synced ok. When I play the songs in itunes on my computer I can hear them but not through the earphones on ipod
    Any help would be appreciated. I have been playing with this for about 4 hours now  frustrating!!

    Yes, I was stuggling with that for hours. You need to make sure you have pushed the plug right in so you cannot see the metal area.

  • How do I download songs that are on itunes on my computer but not on my ipod?

    My computer has all of the songs I purchased on iTunes, but my ipod only has a few? How do I get the songs onto my ipod? When I start iTunes on my computer and connect the ipod using the USB, I look at the left hand column but there is no devices there

    Read the User's Guide, it covers basic functionality such as this.

  • HT204088 My purchases in iTunes on my iPad will not recognize my account balance in my desk top so purchases are put on my credit card. How do I use my account from my iPad?

    iPad does not recognize my iTunes account balance

    Thank you for your advice. I followed your directions, but came up with the same results. However, I did discover that whenever I open up the iPhoto Library that is already existing on my MacBook a certain set of pictures shows up. But then when I open up the iPhoto Library from the Hard drive another set of pictures shows up. BUT not ALL of my pictures are showing up on the iPhoto Library from the hard drive. At least the last two years of pictures are not showing up?! Actually, it appears that all the pictures are there from when I started using iPhoto about 5 years ago up until around the time that I got my iMac desktop computer and started using that (2 years ago). I have noticed that more recent videos I have made are showing up in a folder on the hard drive, but will not appear when I open up iMovie?! Any ideas on how to access my pictures from the last 2 years off of the hard drive???

  • Is there a way to sync only my music from my iphone to my ipad and NOT anything else like apps?

    I have an iPhone 3 and a brand new iPad 2. I was wondering if there was a way I can sync my music, but not everything else such as apps. I don't want my apps from my phone on my ipad, only the music. How do I go about this?
    Please&Thankyou!!

    iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
    For everything else (music from CDs etc.) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.
    A selection of iPod/iPhone to iTunes utilities:
    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

  • ITunes recognizes my iPad but not my iPhone?

    I finally got my iTunes to recognize my iPad after reinstalling the Apple Mobile Device driver, but it still will not recognize my iPhone.

    Hello, scouseboy02.
    I would recommend trying the steps in this article to troubleshoot the iOS device not being recognized in iTunes.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.  If the issue still persists, try all remaining steps in the article.

    Also, try testing other USB ports as well as disable any security software installed.

  • HT4743 My TV will play movies purchased from itunes via apple tv but not tv shows..why ? thank you

    My TV will play movies via apple tv but on trying to play tv shows keeps asking for authorization..why ? How do I authorize ? Many thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are the movies purchased from the iTunes Store and if so were they purchased from the same account as the TV shows.

  • Song I bought on my iPod shows up in iTunes on my PC but not on my iPod

    I recently bought "Payphone" by Maroon 5. It charged me for the song and everything, but it is not showing up in my Music on my iPod touch 4. When I log into iTunes on the computer, however, it shows up in my library and I can play it and it's completely fine. It's just not showing up on my iPod, no matter how many times I try to redownload it or sync it over and over again.
    I also bought another song afterwards to see if that would download, and it worked fine. I don't know if it's a problem with the song itself, or something.
    If anyone knows how to fix this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I had this problem too.
    It is fixed by going into Settings > General > Restrictions. Turn Ratings for to Australia. Then turn off Music & Podcast to Expilcit.
    I know this doesn't make sense as Payphone is supposed to be clean but it works when you now sinc the iTouch.

    Hello there, Capricious13.
    There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:

  • Cannot download movies and music purchased from itunes to ipad

    I have an iPAD 2 with WIFI/3G capabilities.  Currently I am unable to download movies and music purchased from iTUNES.  The only thing I can download with no problems are APPS.  I don't have a laptop/desktop with iTUNES, so that is out of the question.  Here is the kicker, my friend who has an iPAD 2 with WIFI only, is able to download anything and everything using the same WIFI connection.  Is anyone else facing the same problem?

    Check settings, general, restrictions.  Make sure I tunes is set right.  Otherwise, log onto your account in I tunes, and make sure there is nothing strange going on with your accout.  If it works in the app store, it should work in I tunes.

  • I purchased an album from the itunes store on my ipad2 thinking i could retrieve it from my windows pc. I have turned on home sharing and can see my pc library from the ipad but not vice-versa. Is there any way to transfer the album from my ipad library?

    I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?

    Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

  • I bought an audiobook and it downloaded to my ipad but not my Gen4 itouch, it doesn't show an audiobook section under purchases, how do I do this?

    I am really upset.
    I really love my itouch but anything beyond using it as a daytimer, camera and note keeper is shear torture.
    I post a question, I have to repost it multiple times.
    I search for a solution to a problem, such as, "How do I download an audiobook" - I get a web page of all the things that itouch can do, but no instructions on how to do them.
    So here's my latest problem.
    Yes I am repeating myself again!
    I bought an audiobook and it downloaded to my iPad, but, not my gen4 itouch, it doesn't show an audiobook section under purchases in iTunes, how do I do this?
    Does anyone out there know of a web site that just gives answers to apple questions? ( I don't need to know what it could do, I need to know how to do it!)
    Thank you for your help!
    Ken

    Have you checked to see whether it's in the Music app (iTunes on the iPad it just the store, it doesn't contain your downloaded and synced content) ? When you have audiobooks on an iPad you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.
    Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store (so they won't appear in the Purchased tab for re-downloading), so you may want to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it - it should copy over to the Books part of your iTunes library.
