Apple MC496LL/A Syncing Content, Viewing Apple ID Information, Verifying Purchases, ITunes Store

Pre-ordered items aren’t downloaded automatically when they’re released. Return to the Downloads screen to begin the download.

Some albums include bonus content, which is downloaded to your iTunes library on your computer. Not all bonus content is downloaded directly to iPad.

Download bonus content: Sign in using your Apple ID. In iTunes, choose Store > “Check for Available Downloads,” then click Check.

Syncing Content

iTunes automatically syncs everything you download or purchase on iPad to your iTunes library when you connect iPad to your computer. This lets you access the downloads on your computer and provides a backup if you delete purchased content from iPad.

Purchased content is synced to the “Purchased on <name of your iPad>” playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. iTunes also syncs your purchases to the Purchased playlist that iTunes uses for purchases you make on your computer, if that playlist exists and is set to sync with iPad.

Podcasts you download sync to the Podcast list in your iTunes library.

Viewing Apple ID Information

To view iTunes Store information for your Apple ID on iPad, scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Sign In. If you’re already signed in, tap Account. Or, go to Settings > Store and tap View Apple ID. You must be signed in to view your account information.

Verifying Purchases

You can use iTunes on your computer to verify that all the music, videos, apps, and other items you bought from the iTunes Store or App Store are in your iTunes library. You might want to do this if a download was interrupted.

Verify your purchases:

1Make sure your computer has an Internet connection.

2In iTunes, choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.

3Enter your Apple ID and password, then click Check. Purchases not yet on your computer are downloaded.

The Purchased playlist displays your purchases. However, because you can add or remove items in this list, it might not be accurate. To see all of your purchases, sign in to your account, choose Store > View My Account, then click Purchase History.
