Why do the songs I downloaded to my Ipad not sync to my ipod?

I purchased songs on my Ipad that have not been synced to my ipod.  Any suggestions?

Hi, Kathie1945.
The easiest way to handle this is to download the past purchase on your computer through iTunes, then after that just sync the iPod with iTunes.  If your iPod is an iPod touch, you can download past purchases directly on the device. 
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17661693 - issue resolved by re-downloading files or rebuilding library file [note, although the poster says this restored all, my understanding is the .xml file does not retain all the details of the original library file].
    What happens if you restart iTunes?
    Look in the Recently Added playlist.  What happens if in the Get Info window you add the lettter (any letter actually) "X" to the end of the artist name, then remove it?
    Right click on a problem file in the Recently Added playlist and then Show In Playlist > Music  Do you see it?
    Delete the files from iTunes but do not let iTunes move them to the trash.  Now go to where they are located in Finder and add them again.  Does that work?
    If you don't see it in Recently Added, make a new playlist window and drag the files from where iTunes put them to an empty playlist.  Do they show?
    Please post a response.  I make various suggstions here at least once a day in response to this issue and I have no idea if they work for people.

  • Why should the Apple TV download movies its its not authorized to play ?

    Why should the Apple TV download movies its its not authorized to play ? If the Apple TV is not authorized, how come the itunes store still goes ahead to download anyway ?

    You need to be a bit more specific here.
    Surely you're not suggesting iTunes or AppleTv are downloading things you've not purchased and therefore not entitled to play.
    If it's something you've bought then there may be an authorisation issue with iTunes, AppleTv which could be due to a glitch (reboot AppleTV) or local/distant network issues.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Why does the song i downloaded keep asking me to authorize it for my computer, and when i do it plays a differant song

    I downloaded Fast AS You from I-Tunes. When I click on it to play it a pop up box says I have to authorize the song for my computer and asks for my password. When I enter my pass word it plays 6th Avenue Heartache. Over and over, even after a reboot it does the same thing. Any ideas?
    Thanks, Don

    Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

  • Why will the Apple music app on my iPad not play certain songs???

    Hi,
    Suddenly I noticed that certain songs, that will play without problem within iTunes on my PC, and with no problem on my iPhone 4S, will NOT play at all on my iPad (MB293KS) running iOS 5.1.1...
    I have reset the iPad and then downloaded everything again, but the problem is till there. The songs that will not play are AAC-files and sampled in 44,100 kHz, 256 kbit.
    If I use a third party player on the same iPad, like Bongiovi DPS, the songs play all right!!! So it seems that something is really wrong with the Apple Music App on this particular iPad??? What can I do about this? Are there any other music player I should concider as replacements for the Apple Music App? (Besides the Bongioivi, that is...).
    Thanks!

    I have now updated to the new iOS 6.1, but still this problem persists! How is it even possible to be able to play the songs in iTunes, on my PC, and on the specified iPad, using for example the Bongioivi app, but NOT when I use Apple's built in Music app?
    So before the 5.1 upgrade, the songs were playing all right. But AFTER this upgrade, and still after the 6.1, they won't play???

  • Why are the events on my iPhone and iPad not showing on my Macbook Pro?

    Why isn't icloud posting events from my iPhone/iPad to my Macbook?

    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Why are the .PDFs and collections on my iPad not on my iPhone

    I have several .pdf's and policy manuals on my iPad iBooks however only the Titles are on my iBooks on my iPhone - I have checked tha Syc and the iCloud settings.???

    I am using the same Apple ID and the Apple iCloud. Your reply indicates that the documents must be downloaded to both the iPad and iPhone and that if you only download the document to one device it does not automatically appear on the other device - as is with book for example.    Am i understanding this correctly?  in the iBooks settings what is the "Sync Collections" ?

  • Voice Memos are listed on the Playlist on my computer, but do not sync to my IPOD Touch so that I can listen on another device (stereo, dock station, etc.) When I click on the one that transfered over, a grey screen shows up "No Music" Help1

    Voice Memos are listed on the Playlist on my Ipod, but a grey screen comes up "NO Music".  How can I listen on a device?  Like, my car or my dock station/ radio.

    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • After downloading the latest version of iTunes, podcasts will not sync to my iPod

    Podcasts used to show up in 'More', but now only Audiobooks, Compilations, Composers and Genres show up.

    I am having the same thing happen.
    Yesterday I downloaded 10.8.3 and installed it along with all updates.
    Now if I click on iTunes from the dock it just sits there with the light dot under it.
    If I go to Force Quit, it has iTunes highlighted in red saying (NotResponding)
