Purchasing Music or Audiobooks

When you find a song, album, or audiobook you like in the iTunes Store, you can purchase and download it to iPad. You can also preview it to make sure it’s what you want.

To make purchases or write reviews, you need an iTunes Store account. iPad gets your iTunes Store account settings from iTunes when you sync. If you don’t have an iTunes Store account or if you want to make purchases from another iTunes Store account, go to Settings > Store.

You don’t need an iTunes Store account to play or download podcasts or iTunes U classes.

Preview a song: Tap the number in the column, then tap .

Preview a song or audiobook: Tap the item.

Purchase and download a song, album, or audiobook:

1Tap the price and tap Buy.

2Sign in to your account if requested, then tap OK.

If you don’t have an iTunes Store account, tap Create New Account to set one up.

Purchases are charged to your iTunes Store account. If you make additional purchases within fifteen minutes, you don’t have to enter your password again.

An alert appears if you previously purchased one or more songs from an album. Tap Buy if you want to purchase the entire album including the songs you already purchased, or tap Cancel if you want to purchase any remaining songs individually.

Once you purchase an item, it begins downloading. See “Checking Download Status” on page 94.

Purchased songs are added to the Purchased playlist on iPad (iPod > Purchased). If you delete the Purchased playlist, iTunes creates a new one when you buy an item from the iTunes Store.

You can use iTunes Store gift cards, gift certificates, or other promotional codes to make purchases. When you sign in to your account, your remaining store credit appears with your account information at the bottom of most iTunes Store screens.

Enter a redemption code: Tap Music, scroll to the bottom of the screen, tap Redeem, and follow the onscreen instructions.
