Can you access paid for apps/movies from iTunes on another device if you have not synced? I purchased movies on my new iPad, but need to delete some off as have no space left. I have not synced the movies I have purchased on my iPad to any other devices as yet and want to know if I can retrieve the movies from iTunes later if I removed them now without syncing first? I do not want to forfeit my purchases.. Please help!

  • My credit card expired and now I can't update paid for apps. Why can't I upgrade without a credit card?

    My credit card expired and now I can't update paid for apps. Why can't I upgrade without a credit card?

    The "None" option is not available. Presumably because I have already purchased on that Apple ID with a credit card.
    That is not likely the case. As you can see in my account in the US  store I have a bank card in place and I have the None option.

  • We want to purchase a new iPhone but don't want to lose the text messages on that phone.  Can they be uploaded and then restored onto the new phone

    we plan on buying an iphone 5 but don't want to lose the text messges we have on our iPhone 4s.   is there a way to upload the texts and then download them onto the new phone

    Text messages are included in your iPhone backup.  Before switching over to the new phone, back up the old one, then restore this backup to your new phone.  That will transfer text messages, along with other data and settings, as well as your apps and other purchased media.  More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.

    Downloaded apps using my iphone, now I want to sync my phone on my computer, but don't want to lose the apps that I've downloaded on my phone Help!

    Connect the phone to your computer, but do not sync. Make sure iTunes is authorized to the same account that you bought the apps with. Then select "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. Once this finishes the apps will be on your computer, so you can sync safely.

  • I want to sync my photos to iphoto but i dont want to loose the albums i have created on my iphone, can this be done? or will i loose albums?

    Need a little help...
    I am normally the person people go to for help but i need it now!
    I got a new iphone 5c in feb and its been great. I downloaded the iphoto app and my pictures didn't appear. Is this because i hadn't got it to automatically sync to iphoto when plugged in my mac?
    also i don't want to loose any albums i have made on my iphone. Please can someone advise. You may end up telling what i know but i needed to check, thanks!

    Syncing between iPhoto on your iPhone and iPhoto on your Mac is one-way.  You can sync selected albums, events, faces, places albums from your Mac to iPhoto on your iPhone using iTunes. This will not delete any albums you created on your iPhone, just add new albums. But albums you create on your iPhone cannot be synced to your Mac.
    See this page on how to transfer photos from iPhoto on your iPhone to your Mac:

  • HT4972 I want to update my iPad OS, but don't want to loose the movies and apps currently on it.  What can I do?

    I bought the original iPad as soon as it was released.  I ended up with lots of movies and apps for my kids.  Now I want to update to the latest iOS.  When I go to update it says that iTunes can do the update but will not save my apps and movies.  I do not want to lose the apps or the movies.  Is there a way to update (hopefully relatively easily) without losing the movies and apps?

    If you had been syncing with iTunes all along, you should probably have a little better insight as to how this works.
    Yes your device will be erased as part of the updating process. Your backup should be restored at the end of the update. But .... Be proactive anyway. As long as you do your part, everything should work out fine.
    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

  • Multiple playlists with the same song but don't want duplicates on the iPhone

    I have many playlists to organize my music and many songs end up in multiple playlists. I want to have these playlists in my phone but do not want duplicate songs taking up space on the phone. How do I do this?
    To be more detailed, I am a musicain and I keep playists of the songs I need to know for different bands that I'm in and often times there are songs that multiple bands require me to know. Also, I have DJ playists that again, will utilize the same song. These are two examples of how one song can be in multiple playlists. I really need these playlists in my phone but I can't have  some Beatles song four or five times in my phone. Isn't there a way to import a playlist as a pointer or locator to metadata so the playlist, once imported, just parses through the existing songs on my phone and generates the playist? This seem like it would be a fairly simple thing for Apple to do, no?
    Thanks!

    Hi, Damon M., and thanks for answering me!
    So my Playlists and Smart Playlists are only made up of music (plus four or five music videos that don't represent a lot of space), no Audiobooks and no TV Shows.
    When I click on my Music folder, it says I have 4.12GB on the bottom (including the Music videos).
    Since I don't sync anything else on my 8GB iPhone but this 4.12GB of music, reorganized in Playlists, I don't see why I get a box saying I need 12GB to fit everything in.
    So what I do now is manually sync my music, which on my iPhone takes up about 4GB. But I want my Playlists too...
    It's as soon as I want to sync on my Playlists that everything goes wrong.
    So... do you have any more suggestions/ideas?
    Thanks,
    Vincent

  • I want to update to 3.6.4 but don't want to risk the problems container.exe is causing that am reading in this forum.

    There are quite a few having problems related to container.exe due to updating to 3.6.4 as I see from this forum.
    I don't have video problems, never did, and sounds like if I update, it's going to start having problems..
    It is possible for ff to make a patch so that we can have a user friendly and safe disable (without system code?)
    I appreciate firefox very much and thank you developers for your hard work and care.
    I just don't want to update until this is stable..too risky..
    Thanks!

    Also be aware that if you add a quiz to the project, that the drag and drop and quiz affect each other.
    In a way we have been cheated into thinking that is also a learning tool for repeated attempts. With a quiz in the project it does not work.
    I also tried it without the quiz. When learners now use it, the drag and drop will "hang" at times. EMBARRASING when a client phones you with a stuck learning session!!
    I have spent hours with the online Adobe dudes. It some or other "buG".
    "BUG" is IT code for "we designed something but did not test it well enough and now we pretend that it is some mysterious organic organism that is maliciously undermining our design"  

  • I have a Zen Photo need to delete music from my pc but keep music on

    I need to delete the music on my pc but keep the music on the Zen.
    What problem will have in doing this?
    What will happen when I connect the Zen to my pc?

    You don't use Windows Media Player? You have never stated the O.S. on the computer you are using . Is it Xp or Vista? I can see that your Sync Manager is not up to date. The Sync Manager has been integrated into the Creative ZenCast Organizer Suite 2.0.0. That also gives you the ability to subscirbe to & download Podcasts. I must say I have discovered them recently & love it. There are audiobooks that are in the form of podcasts I found this a useful thing . You can set the sync organizer to be manual to not delete things automatically. Or you can use windows media player0 to add music? manually also.

  • I bought movies on my ipad2 how do I transfer them to my computer? When I am in iTunes I have tried the transfer purchases, when you click on movies under the iPad nothing is there. I need to free up space, but don't want to loose my movies.

    When I sync my iPad my movies don't show up on my computer... This is stupid, I am not going to turn my computer on every time I want to download a movie for my kids and then move it to my iPad... If this is the case I will be better off buying a portable DVD player! I just want my movies to show up on my iPad so I can move them to the computer. We have a 64 gig one and this is really disappointing! If this can't be fixed I won't be spending any more money on apples digital products. My devices are being used by kids and I need a way to back up what they don't save in iCloud!

    Try here >  iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    iCloud doesn't support movies...
    iCloud backs up your:
    Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
    Photos and video in the Camera Roll
    Device settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    From here >  Apple - iCloud - Store and back up your content in iCloud.
