Why is a song purchased on iPad not showing up in computer library?

I purchased a song on iTunes several days ago and it downloaded automatically to my desktop, but I can't get it on my laptop.  I do have the setting for automatic download for music set up on both.  I've done a "check for downloads" and get a message that there are no new downloads available, but still don't see that song.  I've gone to my account and it shows the song being purchased, but I see no way to manually force it to download to the laptop.

Does it show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your laptop's iTunes for re-downloading ?

  • Why do the itunes on my ipad not show on my laptop for same account

    I shop at the ITunes store and wonder why when I purchase a song from my IPad it does not show on my laptop.

    If you haven’t enabled automatic downloads, it won’t show up there unless manually put on it, which can be done by transferring it from the iPad or redownloading it from the iTunes Store.

  • Why does the navigational toc in iPad not show the "Cover" and "Contents" entries?

    I recently noticed that the navigational toc in my epub on iPad does not show the "Cover" or "Contents" entries although they do show up okay in ADE. I tried naming the Cover in the <text> portion of the .ncx as "Cover image" and Contents as "Where are things" and these 2 entries showed up in iPad and linked to the proper items. Does iPad choose certain wording to omit these entries?

    Hi brennerp,
    Thank you for contacting Mozilla support. I understand that you have imported bookmarks and now there are two unsorted bookmark folders.
    There is one by defualt and there is the one you imported. To better understand how you imported the bookmarks, can you please provide the steps you took to do this?
    Looking forward to your reply.

  • Why is email sent from my Ipad not showing my name?

    Mail on my wife's iPad is set up with my GMAIL account using Exchange protocol. Whenever she sends anyone email, the recipient see my name in the from field but her email address. I followed the settings below:
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>My Info
    In there I set up her contact card as her "My Info" however when she sends mail, my name is still showing in the FROM field.
    Any Ideas?

    For Exchange GMail there is a way to set your iOS device to use a different "Send As" name than when using a computer.  Unfortunately in your case, you can set your computer to send an alternate name but the iOS device can only send the default GMail name, which is the name associated with your account.  Ideally, you would like your iOS device to use the alternate and let your computer use the default.
    But if you want to play around with this ...
    1- On the iOS device itself, use Safari to navigate to m.google.com/sync.  You will have to log in at the prompt with your GMail account info.
    2- Select the iOS device name (in case you have multiple iOS devices using Google sync).
    3- Select "Enable 'Send Mail As' for this device" and Save the changes.
    4- Using a computer, log into your GMail account and select Settings/ Accounts and Import, then at the "Send mail as" prompt select "edit info" (off to the right).
    5- Change your outgoing name.
    The name you specify in #5 will be used by your computer, but the iOS device will continue using the original (default) outgoing name.  You can see why you need the opposite in your case, so unless you can change the default to be your wife's name and then set the alternate to be your name, I think you're out of luck.

  • My newly purchased music is not showing up in my library-this is new and how do I get from purchased folder into library.  Thought it was supposed to happen automatically

    I bought some new music in iTunes and now my purchases are showing up in the purcahsed folder but will not transfer into my library- I want to get the music onto my nano.  It is in my music files- I see it in the purchaed folder but only 1 of the 16 songs made it into my actual library.  Bugged!

    Ha! Just figured it out myself!
    Under iTunes Store > Quick Links > Account, there is a setting "iTunes in the Cloud" which allowed me to "Unhide any hidden, redownloadable purchases." I clicked on "Manage" and VOILA! Problem solved.
    Thanks, everyone! You were a huge help! :-)

  • HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

    I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
    The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
    But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
    When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
    But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
    This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
    "Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
    But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
    Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
    Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

  • My wife purchased some songs from itunes for her iphone.  If I go to sync her ipphone with our itunes library will her purchases be wiped out.  They do not show up in our library on my computer.

    My wife purchased some songs for her new iphone from itunes on the phone.  They do not show up in our library on my home computer.  When I go to add new songs to her iphone from my computer are her purchases going to be wiped out.

    Is the computer authorized for her iTunes account? If not, sign her in in iTunes and then go up to: Store>Authorize this computer. You say "our library", does that mean she does not have her own computer login? Has she ever synced to this computer/iTunes before? Once she is logged in & the computer authorized for her account, you can transfer purchases on her phone without syncing. With her phone connected, iTunes running: File>Transfer Purchases.

    Just got an iPad mini 3 and have not reset my iPad mini 3; is that why the photos from iCloud backup are not showing up in the new iPad?

    Sorry, don't know what you are asking. You have an old iPad Mini 3 and a new iPad Mini 3?  How did you set up the new iPad? Did you restore it from a backup of the old iPad? What photos are you not seeing?

    You are speaking about album art I assume? Is the album art in iTunes on your computer?

    Probably because all of the Music wasn't selected to sync from iTunes. When the iPad is connect to iTunes on your computer, you can select Sync Entire Library in the Music Tab of iTunes if you want all of your music on the iPad.

  • Why does my iPad not show up in manage storage?

    Why does my iPad not show up in manage storage?

    Don't understand your question - "manage storage"? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to connect to your computer? Are you trying to free up some storage space?

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
