Hi, The "show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" item is just after the "Apps" checkbox and just before the "Sync Playback across devices" item when navigating with VO-right/left. Regarding the downloading of albums, I believe that if you didn't download them right away, you'll need to download them individually in either the Songs view or from within a playlist with those songs present.
