How can I transfer purchased itunes from my computer to my iPod without losing/erasing the current songs on my iPod?

How can I transfer purchased iTunes from my computer to my iPod without losing all the songs I currently have on my iPod?  I've already burned the purchased songs onto DVDs, but they still aren't recognized as authorized songs that I can copy onto my iPod.  One other note:  The songs I purchased were done so with iTune versions much earlier than 10.0, does that matter?  I couldn't tell you what version though.   

Not sure what you are saying.
What is stopping you from adding the songs?
Are you getting an error message?
What does it say?

  • HT201302 How can I transfer my pictures from my iPad onto my Mac without loosing all the albums I already created on my iPad?

    During my holidays I placed all my camera pictures while using the sd card reader adapter to my ipad mini. Now i'm back home and I want to transfer all the pictures to my mac. But i've already created albums on the the ipad and sorted all the pictures and placed them in the different albums. How can I transfer also these albums onto the mac?

    I haven't used iTunes on my laptop in a while but I believe that if you authorize your computer it will allow you to transfer the pictures. Not 100% sure though.
    How do I authorize a computer?
    Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You might need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    If iTunes asks you to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. iTunes uses the same authorization for the same computer.

    how can I transfer purchased apps from itunes account to old iphone?

    You can sync them under apps on iTunes if they are in your iTunes library.
    you can go into the App store on the device, tap on "updates" and then "purchases" download the apps you want.

    My situation is this. I have an app, Stitcher, that allows me to listen to podcasts on demand via my iPhone. I use it frequently. I recently upgraded to iPhone 4, and when I did, it upgraded my app on my iPhone. Due to many dropped calls, I returned my iPhone 4 and resumed using my iPhone 3g. Now in iTunes, when I go to sync, it says that the stitcher app only works with iOS4, which I won't upgrade my 3g to because of speed issues. The only version available on the app store won't work on my phone. Also, I have a backup, but not TimeMachine, so I am not able to pull it off a backup.
    I noticed that I still have the old version on my iPad. So I deleted the app in my iTunes/Mobile Applications folder and synced, but the Stitcher app didn't reappear in my mobile app folder. Is there any way to get the app off my iPad, so I can put it on my iPhone?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ken
    Does the app show up on the App List on iTunes? If it does, then it's been saved to your iTunes folder on your hard drive. Do a search for the app, because I just don't think you can move an item from your iPad to iTunes, unless you purchased it on the iPad, which it sounds like you didn't.
    You should be able to re-download the iPad version of the app, if one exists. Contact the developer, who might be able to help out.
    But thanks for pointing out the app. Just downloaded it to my iPhone 4.

    If you are just trying to bring over your music, can just take the iTunes folder located in your USER Music Folder and copy that to the same place on your new computer.  run iTunes and your music will be there.

    This is threadjacking. Where someone posts something in a thread that has nothing to do with the thread. If you want to ask a question, then start your own thread. You won't get an answer here.  But to keep you from having to start a thread, there is no iPhone unlock code.

  • How can I transfer my itunes on one computer to another?

    How do i transfer my itunes on another computer to the one i have now.

    Hello Nousernamebrah
    Well get get your music from your old computer to your new computer, the old computer would have to work and turn on to access the files to be copied over. You also can access any previous purchased music and download it to your new computer as well. Check out the articles below for more information.

  • How can I transfer my itunes from my iPhone to my new computer without deleting my songs off of my iPhone?

    I have a new computer with new songs I have purchased. But my iPhone has almost 2,000 songs on it and I have deleted it once before by trying to transfer my songs to a new computer before. Now I am a little bit scared to even try, so... How can I transfer my songs off my iPhone onto my new computer?  Thank you!

    If these are songs you have purchased with iTunes, then you start up iTunes, log in with your Apple ID, connect the phone and transfer purchases. If this is not purchased music, iTunes is not set up to work that way. Sync of music is only one way, from iTunes to Phone. That is what the backup of your computer is for.
    If by some chance you did not backup your comptuer, then you would need to look into 3rd party software. See this user hint about handling that. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • When i go to sycn my ipod, it says that it cannot sync due to a missing file. Is there a way to remove itunes from my computer and redownload it without losing all of my stuff?

    Can I remove Itunes from my computer totallty abnd reinstall it without losing my media?

    Do a backup of your iTunes library files first to a external hardisk. (ie all your music files)
    Go to this Apple download for iTunes 9.2.1,
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
    You just need to download and re-install.
    If your iTunes is earlier than 9 series, the library folder location need to be changed.
    or let me know your iTunes version and I sent you the website
    I wouldn't recommend the Latest iTunes 10.5.2, if you are not using iPod Classic 160GB late 2009 version.

  • How can I transfer my itunes from an old computer to my new one?

    I'm trying to get my itunes off of a gate way to my Sony Vaio E- series. how can I go about doing this?

         Or, if you don't have an external hard drive, then (IF YOU HAVE ALL YOUR MEDIA FROM ITUNES ON YOUR IPOD) you could use this to get the media off you pod to your new computer!
         I would recomend an external drive anyway, that way everything is backed up!

  • How can I transfer purchased apps from one iPad to another?

    Hi all,
    We just got a second iPad.  Previously our single iPad was registered under my Apple ID.  My wife downloaded lots of apps for the kids on our old iPad.  Now I want to associate the old iPad with my wife's Apple ID, but be able to keep all the kids apps on it that were previously purchased under my apple ID.  I don't really want any of the kids apps on the new iPad - especially since I will usually have it with me at work.  Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks.
    NM

    You can't associate purchased apps with another Apple ID. The apps are tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
    If you sign in on the iPad with the ID that purchased the apps - then you can download them again using the ID that is associated with those purchases.
