How do I download music to my iPad from iTunes?

All of a sudden I can't get my music in my iPad from iTunes . I got it on my iPhone ( with the exception of one song from the album for some reason that says item not available when I try to play) when I go to my iPad it doesn't give me the option to click on the cloud to add it...User generated image

Hi,
Is Auto download turned ON on both iPhone and iPad?
If not try these steps.

It is on both. It wasn't on my main computer and it didn't download there either.

Do your iPhone, iPad and iTunes all use the same iCloud account ID?
Santos,
Yes I do. I downloaded like I always do. All the songs wouldn't DL so I deleted from My Music and started over. All but one are on my phone. All but 3 are on my computer and those 3 want me to pay again. None are on my iPad

look at the section 'iTunes in the Cloud' > Manage Devices: (what does it tell you here?)
On your computer go to
iTunes

Check For Available Downloads

Do you get a message that says "All purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID" ?
I just did that. The first time I did it, it gave me one song on the computer that I didn't have. Then it said " All purchases..." No change on my iPad.
Thanks for hanging in there with me in this.

Just to confirm...
Your iPad is listed here?
eg
"3 devices are associated with this Apple ID and can download your purchases from iTunes in the Cloud" ?

It was hidden...wonder why it did that???
It's downloading now automatically on the Ipad. I believe you gave me the solution! I'll let you know in a bit. *grin*
That was it. Good job and thanks!
Haha, nice.  Glad you found the files.  Personally, I hid the U2 album because it constantly was autoplaying and annoying! :)

Take care.
