A song purchased on my iPhone e14 Pro Max synchs seamlessly with my new iPad but not my slightly older iPad. All 3 devices are running and logged in with the same Apple ID. I do not have any “Synch Library” buttons anywhere on my devices. Help!

i tried your thoughtful idea but when I open my old iPad (the one missing all the purchased music) and open the iTunes Store, the music shows as purchased but I can’t preview or play it. The buttons next to the list of songs on the album aren’t grayed out but the button next to the cover art (which also says purchased) is grayed out. So I’m trying to figure out if I can manually download songs individually from new iPad to old iPad using the download button. I could reset my old iPad but when restoring it from my iCloud account, I would end up with a huge amount of data I want archived, not on the iPad. There has to be an easier way…

Thank you! I went on my phone to view all my recently downloaded music, followed your instructions, and now both iPads match my iPhone. My established playlists didn’t transfer, but the music did and that’s what I was after. Sure appreciate the guidance!
