How am I purchasing music with no money?

I have about $0.49 left on my itunes account and I was trying to figure out how to get more itunes money. I thought that if I bought a song over my $0.49 limit, it would give me the option to purchase more itunes money. The song I chose was the regular song price of $1.29, and when I clicked 'purchase' it bought the song for me? But I only had $0.49 left? I don't know how that occurred, but I'm thinking it took money from my debit card account and used that to complete my purchase. Also when I looked onto my debit account it said itunes took $0.80 out of my account. Bottom line is can I purchase itunes money online instead of making unknown purchases, plus I'd really like an explanation for what ENTIRELY just happened. Thank you!

" I'd really like an explanation for what ENTIRELY just happened. "
You bought something for $1.29. It used the $.49 credit and then billed your card on file for the remaining $.80 as it should. Why is this confusing?
" Bottom line is can I purchase itunes money online instead of making unknown purchases"
You can buy itunes cards.
Not sure why you call it unkown. You chose the song that you bought. You knew what the purchase was and how much it cost. This was not unkown at all. Everything worked exactly as it should.

How to share purchased music with friends on the internet.

Find the song you want in Spotify or Youtube. It may, but does not have to, match a song in your iTunes library.
Right-click the title and choose "Copy HTTP link" (Spotify) or just copy the URL (Youtube).
Email the link to your friends. They simply click on it and listen to the song.

I have purchased music with my old apple id, old computer and old email. My old email and computer are not available anymore and I dont remember my password and securtiy question anymore. How can I authorise my old apple id to authorise the new computer?

Hi, I have a new computer and new apple id. I've purchased music with my old computer, email and apple id.
I cant access now the previously purchase music, because it wants to authorize the new computer to play the
music. I cant remember password and security questions for my old id and the old email doest exist anymore.
What can I do?

Hi, Carmen.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

Topic: How to transfer purchased music from iTunes

Since the item <Topic: How to transfer purchased music from iTunes> is "locked" (whatever that means - typically, I got an error message when I clicked on the link!!) - I would like to state that despite downloading the iPod updater to deal with this problem, I cannot update my iPod because "the updater does not have a firmware image". I deeply resent not being able to move 100 tracks I have bought and paid for with my hard-earned money to my iPod. I trust that Apple will sort out this mess forthwith.

I have now solved this problem (almost by accident...).
Unfortunately, before you can update the iPod software on the older iPods you have to first do a Restore Factory Settings from the iPod updater (otherwise "updater cannot find firmware image'). Let the 'Restore' process run right through (it ends when the iPod fully reboots). You can then run the iPod software updater to Update from iPod 2.2 to 2.3 software, but afterwards you have to recopy all your songs from iTunes into the now empty iPod. I reloaded my iPod last night, and it took about 20-30mins using firewire for c.2400 songs. It worked for me, anyway. And the interface with iTunes is an improvement. Could have done without all the wailing and gnashing of teeth, though. Thank you, Apple.

How do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

how do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

Sync them both to the same iTunes music library. You can also automatically download purchased music to both by going to Settings>iTunes & App Stores and turning Music to On under Automatic Downloads. If you music is in multiple computers, you can enable Home sharing to share your music library across multiple devices (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

How to transfer purchased music from iTunes

Can anyone tell me how to transfer purchased music from iTunes to my iPod without first downloading to a CD?

If you are using the latest version of iTunes (4.6), then you need to make sure your ipod software is up to date also.
When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
Get the latest updates here.
If you have done all this and still can't transfer it, post back with more info about what is happening.
EDIT.
Grrrr......must learn to type faster!

How do i delete music with grayed titles in my iphone and ipad. iTunes Match is on

how do i delete music with grayed titles in my iPhone and iPad. the grayed titles happened when i installed iTunes Match.

I've done the reset iTunes Match routine turning it on or off in my devices. Everytime its On, it goes thru d scan, match and upload process. When it gets to tge upload stage, it takes sooooo long for just one song to upload, as if d remaining song (2k+) will take years. Anyway, the grayed titles still don't go away. These titles are not exactly missing. I can play those titles because they also appear in my devices as regular content - meaning, the grayed titles are duplicates but don't go away.
By the way, these grayed titles are viewable only in iTunes Match not on my devices (iPhone 4 and ipad2)

You can't - the Terms of Use of the stores state that you can only buy from the country that you are in (e.g. due to licensing/distribution terms etc)

Buy the songs one at a time. Believe it or not, that's how iTunes works now. The new versions of iTunes do not have a "Buy All" button for the Wish List.

How to listen purchased music in my car if I have no apple support and no connection to Internet in my car?

How to listen purchased music in my car if I have no any support in my car. I just put everything in a disk from my husband apple computer.
But it does not work in my car. What should I do?

If you stream it won't work. Stream meaning 'use the iPad as a receiver as you continually download from the internet'.
However if that music is downloaded onto your iPad then it works just fine off line. then once the music is on your device you can use the USB if your car is equipped for that, or a FM transmitter (available commercially) or simply use a male/male headphone cable to use the headphone out of your device to a headphone in jack in your car (again, something only more recent models have)
When you sync the music onto your device it should transfer those files from your computer to your iPad.

How can I purchase music that's a few years old?

Guy's older albums have been on other countries' Itunes in the past. I don't know why they come and go. Guy keeps promising to spend more time overseas, releasing and promoting his music. I'm sure they'll all become available again then. You could import CDs, of course, but that becomes expensive. Online, Sanity and JBHiFi in Australia will mail overseas.

How do I purchase music restricted to another country?

How do I purchase music restricted to another country?

Unless you travel to that country and have a payment method issued there so you can open up a new iTunes Store account, you can't. You can only use the iTunes Store of your own country. If the music isn't available in your country's iTunes Store, you'll have to look for other sources, either other download stores or perhaps an import CD.
Regards.
