Question

I am trying to buy a song on iTunes, but I am only getting an option to gift it? How do I purchase it for myself?

Community Answer

Don't click on the drop-down arrow next to the price, click on the price itself.

Question

Why didn't a song I paid for show up in my iTunes library?

Community Answer

Go back to the store and look for a "download" link where you bought the song. If you can't find one, check for any receipt or proof of purchase documents that may be stored somewhere in your account. Also, try restarting iTunes and repeating the above steps. The last option is to use the drop down bar; under library, select "Turn on Home Sharing" and complete the sign in request. If nothing works, you'll have to purchase the song again.

Question

How do I view album notes on an album I purchased on iTunes?

Community Answer

Unfortunately, you cannot view album notes on most album purchases on iTunes. However, many tracks may have composer credits that are accessible by right-clicking the purchased song, clicking 'Song Info' and songwriting credits may be listed. However, a number of iTunes album purchases may come with a 'digital booklet' where album notes, photography and possibly song lyrics may be available in a PDF format.

Question

How do I know whether my purchase has been accepted?

Community Answer

Go into the app store and on the bottom row tap *Featured* and scroll to the bottom. It will say how much money on your device you have left; if accepted, the amount will have decreased. Also, check "Recent Purchases" to see the music in your list.

Question

Where is a song downloaded to after I buy it?

Community Answer

Normally it would save under your iTunes. If you can't locate it there, try typing the name of the song in your search bar under "Newly Added". Try restarting your computer if you still have trouble.

Question

Is it possible to copy purchased songs from iTunes on to an Android device?

Brian Low

Community Answer

Yes. Just connect the Android phone using the USB cable that came with your phone to your computer. Then, open the music folder then look for iTunes, then iTunes media, then music and then the artist's name and the folder that contains the album. After that, all you have to do is to copy and paste the folder to your phone storage.
