IBook repaired, songs bought through iTunes will not transfer back to iPod

i found the way to get my songs from my iPod to my computer, but now all of the songs i bought through iTunes will not go back to my iPod. error message is "some of the songs, including "so-and-so" (actually it's Alice Cooper's Feed my Frankenstein :)HA!) were not moved to the iPod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." the problem is, this is the same computer, it's just been wiped by Apple and i reinstalled everything. i see in one of these forums that you can apparently double click on the song to get it to transfer back, but i have about 3000 songs, so it's hard to tell what i bought from iTunes from what i had already. can anyone help me do this in one foul swoop? THANKS!

thanks. will try that when i get home.

  • Imported songs and some songs bought through itunes aren't playing on my ipod?

    Hey I just updated both my ipod and Itunes, and while syncing new music to my ipod touch (5th gen,) it seems half my music had gone haywire. Some of it is stuff I've bought from bandcamp, downloaded from Itunes, or uploaded from CDs. They all worked fine till I tried syncing new music. Any idea on what's going on? Is it the update? I don't think I did anything that would prevent these files from working. All imported music files are AAC or mp3 and have worked in the past.
    As an added note, while looking at the music files through itunes as the ipod was supposed to be downloading them, they usually get a little loading circle, but the entire song was greyed out even though they were selected to load.
    Also while trying to play pre-existing music in my ipod, it will skip and jump through songs till it lands on one that works. All the songs it skipped through will have an icon saying they are playing next to them when they are obviously not. Corrupted files? They play just fine on my computer though.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync or delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • HT1923 I have a question about i tunes,In i tunes on my computer in some of my play list I have songs I`ve already downloaded but they are showing a exclamation symbol by some of he song s and they will not transfer to my ipod.Could someone help me fix it

    In i tunes on my computer I have songs that I downloaded that want transfer to my i pod.The songs has a exclamation symbol next to the in my playlist.Could someone please help me with this issue?    Thank you, S.Reid

    Your technical issues have zero to do with the installers. Whatever is at play is rooted on your system, but you have not provided any specific system info nor crash logs. Pardon me, but "Photoshop is crashing" is a useful as my 88 year old grandma telling me her phone doesn't work...

  • CDs I put on my itunes will not transfer.

    So last year my old computer fried and I got a new conputer. I installed itunes and had some CDs that I wanted on my ipod. I imported the CDs and then synced my ipod well now those songs will not transfer onto my ipod. The only songs on my ipod are the ones I bought. I am not sure what to do and hope there is a solution.

    Try here:
    Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod
    Did you import the CDs via iTunes?  If not what did you use?
    If you "Get info" for thos songs, what is specified for the purchaser?  Is the iPod signed inot that accout (if applicable).

  • Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

    hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if  there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
    regards john

    Hello hotsone,
    You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.

  • ITunes will not transfer my purchases from phone to computer?

    I had to restore my computer just to get itunes working on my new computer, and while i did this, I lost over 300 songs that i had purchased from itunes. Some songs were from my moms account, and some were from mine. but it says only 300 and something songs were on her account and i KNOW for a **** fact that i had 1252 songs on her account for me alone. And when i go to transfer purchases from my phone to my computer it will not transfer. Please fix this or else i will never use itunes again and i will bash this companys name. Never in my life have i had such a **** experiance with this company. you should be ashamed of all of these problems. I cant uninstall itunes unless i want to restore my computer again. so DO NOT offer me that suggestion because i WILL NOT restore this computer a 6th time because of your screw ups

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    You should be able to copy them back onto your computer from your backup of your library that you've been keeping. Both accounts are authorised on your computer's iTunes and the music was purchased from iTunes, and File > Devices > Transfer Purchases doesn't copy them ? That won't copy music bought from other sources and/or copied from CDs.
    Depending upon what country that you are in and if they are still in your country's store, then you might be able to redownload your purchases on your computer via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the store home page on your computer's iTunes, though redownloading an account's purchases may tie the computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • ITunes will NOT transfer purchases made via Apple TV - ATV HD is now FULL!

    For an unknown reason, All of my recent PURCHASES made via Apple TV remain on ATV as they will NOT TRANSFER to my iTunes. Now my ATV drive is full.
    No changes have been made to either configuration.
    The only update that was installed during this period was to BootCamp.
    Please fix this issue. It's been around for a long long time.

    Problem still exists. Have tried all suggestions that I have found so far on the web.
    Resetting is not an option as I live in a RURAL are where the local ISP charges by Gbytes transferred.
    The only option I see at this time is to hack the ATV to accept a USB drive and manually transfer.
    Please post any success you might have with this issue.
    ZERO follow through from Apple is not acceptable.
