Q: Purchasing iTunes music via iPad.

Why does it appear that I cannot purchase music from iTunes on my iPad air 2?  The iPad syncs all of my previously purchased music (on my iMac) fine and the music seems to play fine.  I did once (in 2010) purchase an album on an old iPad that then synced to my iMac and stayed there but cannot seem to figure out how it is done now.  Any assistance would be appreciated.  Thanks!

iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 9.0.2

    You tell us. What happens when you try to purchase music in the iTunes app on the iPad? If you purchased an album in 2010 from iTunes, you should be able to download it again in the purchased tab of the iTunes Store as long as you are using the same Apple ID that you used to make the purchase and as long as the album is still available in the iTunes store.

     

    You can transfer purchase from the iPad to the computer using iTunes of you want to get your purchased music into iTunes.

    Redownload or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support

     

    IF you are asking about something else, you need to explain in a little more detail.

    I did not see it before.  Apparently you have to go to 'new' find what you want and then click 'show it in iTunes store' (or something like that) to purchase.  Very convoluted.  I wish it was as simple as it used to be.  Thanks however for getting me to look where I was not expecting to see what I wanted!!
