I bought a song via Itunes using a PC, but it didn't appear on my iphone.

How do I get it on my iphone? When I try to download it to my iphone, I get told I already bought this album and it asks me if I want to buy it again. What do I do? Other applications, like if I find something on internett and download it via itunes, I see that when it's done downloading, I have the app on my iphone, but this didn't happen when I downloaded an album using a link. I searched the album up and found it on my iphone, but it didn't offer me to download it even tough I have already paid for it. Instead it offered me to buy it again. What's this? How come it want me to pay for the same album twice? It recognices I bought the album and still it asks me to buy again when it should ask if I want to download it. And if I click yes on that I want to buy it again... does that mean it will draw money from my account twice or does that just mean I will buy it again without additional cost?

What country are you in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries), and does it appear in the Purchased tab at the bottom of the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading ?

Re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

If you aren't in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded then you should be able to sync it from your computer's iTunes to your iPhone's Music app.

If you can re-download and you want all future music purchases to be automatically downloaded on the phone then you can turn on automatic downloads on the iPhone via Settings > Store > Music 'on' : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539

I'm in Norway. The album doesn't appear over my purchases. So I can't choose to re-download it. I tough when I bought it via Itunes, then it should be accesable from Itunes on my Iphone. I have just one account. And I don't understand why Itunes says that I have already bough the album and offers me to buy it again. Why do it even ask me if I want to buy it again? Isn't that a confirmation message that it knows that I have already bough it. It should just ask me to download it. I just have a problem understanding why I get a question if I want to buy something again instead of a question just to download what I have already paid for...
