Purchasing an Album via iTunes Store

When looking through the iTunes Store, I found an album that I want to purchase. If I purchased this album, would it just insert the music into my iTunes Library, or would I receive the music CD through the mail?
Please reply ASAP
Thank you so much in advance...

You would download the album, it's tracks, and any associated multimedia along with it. The only CD you would have would be one you yourself burned (iTunes doesn't use the Postal Service for anything but bills via credit cards
If you want the physical CD, you would use Amazon, CircuitCity, etc, and they'd ship it to you in however many days it takes to get to you. You can then use iTunes to rip the tracks to your local library so you can have them also on your computer. Purchasing it on iTunes doesn't get you a free CD however- so choose carefully which medium you want to buy (Internet Download, or Physical CD).
Your choice!

You will see the a person has to demonstrate they have tried to resolve the issue with the vendor first.
I also don't know if the 100 mile limitation applies in this case.
The other thing to realize is rather than go to court, it really may be a lot easier to: 1) See if it is something we can help with in 2 minutes here, for free, and with the OP getting what they really wanted which is a successful gift, or 2) find Apple would probably resolve nicely without having to write formal letters of complaint which I believe the credit card company will require. Although I don't always agree with everything Apple does, I have to hand it to them, I have seen issues posted on this forum where people ultimately report that Apple gave them a refund or second download or something when frankly it wasn't something they had coming to them according to the terms of purchase.

I really want to purchase music albums from iTunes store. but the payment option is so painful. I have a SBI ATM *** Debit Card. So please do something on Indian store payment option. At-least create a alternative payment, like Internet Banking

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Do you have a credit card, or a different debit card that you could try (some are apparently still accepted in India) ?

I purchased 2 albums on iTunes store 2 days ago. Now I discovered that albums are not downloaded. Money has been paid. What should I do to download songs I paid for ?

If using a computer's iTunes then try the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option, or go to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage and see if they show for downloading there. If using an iOS device check to see if they show in the Purchased tab in its iTunes store app for downloading

Purchasing an iPod via iTunes store with gift cards

I have lots of credit on my iTunes account and I want to use that to purchase an iPod. If I go to purchase an iPod it doesn't give me that option it wants to charge my credit card.
I'm I just SOL? I've contacted Apple support online a couple of times, but never heard anything back. Do you think going to an Apple store might help?
Thanks

Unfortunately, I do not believe that you can purchase an iPod with iTunes cards. Apple advertises the iPod on iTunes, but if you click on that, it takes you onto Internet Explorer (or another browser), to the Apple Online Store.

I recently purchased an album from iTunes store however...

when I look at other album by the same artist with the same songs (listed in other albums other than the one I purchased) they are listed as purchased even though I never bought them from that album... anyone else having the same issue?

I bought an album on iTunes store by laptop but can't download to iPhone and my Desktop

Hi,
This morning I used my laptop to purchased an album on iTunes store, but then when I used my Mac Mini and Iphone, trying to find that album on icloud, it didn't show up, all my other purchases showed up normally. I went to the album page, it only showed as "Purchased" but there's no download option. Could anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance

Your other music shows under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your Mac's iTunes, and in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone - if they do then are you signed in with the same account or is that album hidden (hiding and unhiding) ? Is the laptop the computer that you normally sync the phone to (e.g. could you sync it), and could you copy the album from the laptop to your Mac Mini e.g. via file sharing, a flash drive etc (copying music)

Just updated to iCloud, but I can't find the 'purchased' list on the itunes store on my iphone. There's no button for it on the toolbar or under the 'more' option. Want to play/download my puchased music via iCloud on my iPhone.... Help someone please?!

Hi again Limons,
just got your last reply per mail, re: 'presently only available in the USA.'
Unfortunately, you're right. Just found this article: http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/stories/061011icloud
seem like it's going to be a while before this gets sorted out . . .
Frustrating outcome to my question, but thanks a lot for helping me sort out what the problem was :-)
All the best to you.

ITunes Store would not allow me to purchase an album. The store said that I needed to answer a security question. I had not sent answers to ant security questions previous

I have been using iTunes for almost two years. I went to purchase an album and the store would not allow me to purchase until I had answered security questions. I had never given answered to any questions previously. So i didn't know the correct answer. What do I need to do?

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded and I cannot play any of the songs. I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems. How do I delete these albums and reload them? I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded on my iPad Mini and I cannot play any of the songs. I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems. How do I delete these albums and reload them? I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

If the albums do appear in the Music app, hold down on the album icons and the X to delete will pop up on the icons. Tap the X to delete the albums.
You don't see a anything in iCloud, you see your previous purchases in the purchased tab of the store that you bought the content in. So you find your music purchases in the purchased tab of the iTunes app on your iPad. Tap on Purchased and look for the albums in the Not on this iPad section - assuming that you are able to delete the albums from the device.

I purchased an album from iTunes using my desktop computer. All of the songs from the album are on my computer and play perfectly. When I try to sync the songs to my iPhone or iPad, I get an error message that says 3 of the songs can not be downloaded to these devices. Any ideas?

Thanks very much I have contacted them via this. Just hope they respond quickly- rather annoing! Greatly appreciated though

I just purchased an album off iTunes but it won't let me download one song off the album due to a -100000 error. It tells me to check for available downloads on the "store" bar, and when I click it, the file still won't download. What should I do?~ Any advice would be appreciated. =^w^=

Hello TheCoddfish,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
So it sounds like you have a preorder you would like to download, but it is not downloading, or you dont have the option to download it.
Without knowing what the preorder was, and if it is released, I found this article named iTunes Store: About Pre-orders found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714.
This part in particular:
Downloading a pre-ordered item
When a pre-order item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know your pre-order is available for download.
If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloads to begin downloading your pre-order.
To view, cancel, or see the expected release dates for your pending pre-orders
Choose Store > View My Appie ID, then click Manage Pre-orders, which located in the Settings section at the bottom of the Account Information screen in iTunes on your computer.
From the Mange Pre-orders screen, click the Cancel button to the right of the pre-order item you would like to cancel. You'll be asked to confirm your pre-order cancellation.
If the album is released and you still cannot download it, I would report the issue directly to the iTunes Store support.

TS1362 I purchased an album from itunes and a song in the middle of the album did not download completely. So, the song obviously cannot be transferred to my ipod because the file cannot be converted. What can i do?

I purchased an album from itunes, and a song in the middle did not download completely. All the others did. So, I obviously could not transfer that song to my ipod because the file could not be converted. What can I do?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
